freaking out about the beach boys again. Van Dyke Parks is such a good lyricist it's wild. read this shit real quick

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome mannered baton
(Bygone, bygone)

A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
(Bygone, bygone)

columnated ruins domino
canvas the town and brush the backdrop
are you sleeping, Brother John?

like they really made ozymandias about being in the beach boys

you think I can apply for a job in Shenzhen where I just quality test each batch of vapes? now that's a job I can actually hold down

wha if it was the trams megathread, that'd also be kinda pog, I like trams

I lost my vestigial tail in 'nam

i just woke up at 5 and can't go back to sleep. i'm supposed to be going out at 10. idk whether to try and reschedule that earlier, or take sleeping pills and reschedule it for later.

Always wanted to play ff14 but it seems pretty daunting to get into and I don't know anyone who plays it :/

It’s not fun having to just sit around waiting for your epilator to charge because it died halfway through.

I opened a big vacuum sealed bag of puffed rice and it tasted funny and i had to put sugar on it :(

I’m happy with how I look, but why do I still gotta get he/himed. I get why, but it’s annoying.

Okay, look, right, I know Fallout 1's interface is a steampunk artdeco clusterfuck, but it's entirely mouse driven and the game is perfect ok. Yes the click & drag logic is absurd, yes pixel hunting for the Colt Rangemaster sucks, but a nuclear age CRPG with a system inspired by GURPS and structure inspired by JRPGs (overworld map w/random encounters -> town maps with NPCs and quests) is absolutely awesome. The combat never stops being fun in a brutal, pitch black kind of way, and the ability for the story to unfurl with whichever portions of it you find first or quests you choose to do is awesome. Fallout 1 is a top five banger okay, and I will not hear slander about it because Interplay dorks in 1997 made a messy wessy of the buttons at 640x480!!!!

Down with cis

When I’m too lazy to read a book I come here, search up the author’s name and wait for the website to tell me if they suck or if they’re good. I am replacing my brain with the hex bear 😀

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

And I’m supposed to call people “he/him?”

My having left for three weeks recently also came with the fun fact that I don’t think I know a lot of people here now. We had one hell of an influx of new posters in the past couple months and that’s pretty damn great. Now I can’t keep up with the mega anymore. Especially since I’ve been horribly busy as well.
