  1. this year i wanted to try reading between 24 and 30 books, and while i'm currently at 10, i didn't actually read any for the entirety of may...

     

    but taking a month off means i'm ready to read again, so i'm happy to take this recommendation and give this series a go flower; most of the books i've read thus far have been feminist fiction so far so it'll be nice to read a new fantasy series for once....i find it hard to delve into fantasy series now that i'm older

     

    i tried to read Dune a few years ago and it was so fuckin dense and boring i actually gave up within the first 30 pages, which is insane for me x_x

    If there’s Fat-Free milk, 1% milk, 2% milk, and Whole milk, that means that there are about 98 different percentages of milk out there that the grocery stores are hiding from us.

     

    WHERE ARE THEY?! angrykong;

    they're in the back, we just pretend we don't have any when you ask, just like everything else out of stock ofc

    Bumping this because I don't want to derail the chat thread:

     

    Does voting actually accomplish anything anymore? Is there any point in legalizing abortion, when some Republican shitheads can just overturn it twenty years later? Or what about gay marriage? Or net neutrality?

     

    Because I'm just so fucking tired of being told that my vote matters, successfully "voting them out" or whatever, only for nothing to change.

    i imagine that kind of mindset is exactly what they would want you to feel, because as soon as you stop because it 'doesn't matter', that very very small percentage that they win by matters a lot more in the long run, long after you're already exhausted from thinking about it 

     

    and that's not coming from someone who is a hardcore 'vote or you're part of the problem!' because frankly i just don't really believe in that AND i don't even vote where it matters but i think the apathy and exhaustion and overwhelming despair is a feature, not a bug 

     

    whether it actually 'does anything' is not something you can see right away usually, which is why people end up thinking it doesn't matter or isn't worth their time. but the good things that came from voting also took a long time to enact and see positive change from. even my own mom was kicked out of restaurants for dating a black man when she was younger, but thanks to her and other people like her, i was able to be in an interracial marriage today. and before that, her ancestors fought for the right for a bank account, or to vote, while mine fought to be seen as people, and all those things took a very long time. much longer than they should have, but its because people kept voting for them and putting pressure on where it mattered that it eventually amounted to something.

     

    its pretty easy to be tired of it and frankly we should be past the point of fighting for all this shit, but when i think about the people before me who i have a lot more in common with than they want you to believe, fighting for those rights so that i could get an abortion, or marry white people, or be bisexual and not lose anything in my life because of it, it makes it a little easier to put some more effort in. 

     

    its exhausting, but i like to think there's more people out there that believe i do deserve those things than those who don't and i do believe that even if its not overnight, those actions do matter in the long run, even if its just a momentary comfort.

    I feel it says something upon starting up Danganronpa 2 on Switch, my first thought is "someone somewhere has probably made an Animal Crossing island of this." Obviously not one-to-one, since DR2 isn't just *one* island, but still y;

     

    "wait, stephen, are you seriously only get around to vita games in year 2022 of our lord Arceus?" Why yes, I do make a habit of playing games like a decade late.

    lately ty and i have been going through some popular games i've never experienced before so you're not alone 

     

    i got to experience FF7 and Chrono Trigger for the first time recently and they were very fun flower; better late than never!

    When playing through a Kirby game for 100% completion, do you typically keep replaying each individual level until you find all the collectibles, or do you wait until you finish the main game, then go back to the ones that you missed?

    honestly just depends on how i'm feeling at the moment 

     

    if its something annoying i have to accomplish, i usually end up going back to it later when i feel more motivation, but if its somethin' fun or easy i'll do it right away if i have time

     

    beating a boss and not getting hit/beat a level in x amount of time: lame, i'll go back to this later

    'take a nap by the hidden pool': mysterious, fun, i know where this is so i'll do it now 

  6. honestly sounds like a neat feature but also wonders how it would even compare to what we got, which is horses following the paths of the world perfectly fine without any input anyway

     

    the world isn't really built around a horse needing to traverse, so being able to draw my own paths just for a horse to get stuck on a rock taller than itself seems like it'd just be annoying? idk lol

     

    anyway, not surprised in the least its been delayed, i was 100% expecting that anyway so here's hoping its made even better while i wait flower;
