I’m going through the Discworld series for the first time right now. I’m going in chronological order but when I finish I’ll probably go through them again eventually but I think I’ll do series instead in bunches. I’m already looking forward to rereading the Watch series back to back.
Stop letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
And we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. A poke with a stick isn’t good but it’s sure as shit better then a pistol whipping.
This the stupidest step they could take. Seriously if you’re going to get 20 years for throwing a firebomb. Well, in for a penny - in for a pound, you might as well … I can’t make any suggestions after all, but let your mind wander and I’m sure you can think of something a lot worse that’s still only going to get you 20 years.
These are the crazy years.
Bull pucks. The man isn’t playing 4-D chess with the News, he’s not even do a deliberate Gish-Gallop. He’s just saying the first thing that pops in to his head. And right now that’s I want to go down in history as the greatest president ever. He thinks if he expands the US he’ll be bigger then Jefferson.
Filler episodes are important because they focus on character development and they give a break from the main plot.
Yeah I’m totally in agreement with this I need breathing episodes to care about characters. Day in the life episodes and bottle episodes help viewers connect emotionally with the characters. Too many shows these days expect viewers care about the central character just because they are the ones getting screen time.

That goes without saying
I always want to rewatch HIMYM because I do remember enjoying it but I get one or two episodes in and I loose the taste for it because of how bad it ended. Really only one of a few shows truely ruined by the ending.
If money is NO object then I’d buy the US government and make the US visitor friendly. I mean I’d really like to see the pained desert, New Orleans, New York, New England in the fall, hell there’s heaps of the US I’d like to visit and it seams to me that you can buy the US government for a couple of hundred billions.
Ear worm? Pink Pony Club - Chappell Roan. Do I like it? No, but I hear on the radio and that damn song is caught in my head for an hour or more. But I guess that’s the definition of an ear worm.
I am very much so … but that’s only because both my parents were shithead drug addicts in their 20s. My mom got in AA and turned her life in to a better place but she was starting again from the bottom. My dad didn’t get help and was still using and dealing and struggling last time I heard.
So Bigfoot’s another Luigi? Good to know.
“Fuck Cancer!” So much for the tolerant left. /s
Seriously Fuck Cancer and horse it rode in on.
His staff has a knob on the end!
I am 100% behind a Weird Al cover of Pink Pony Club as a mash up strip clubs and MLP.
I loved TLOU and was totally involved in the storytelling. I’ve never been so emotionally attached to the characters in a game as I was with Joel and Ellie. The real strength was how the writers used the video game’s abilities to change your POV character to really drag you into the story. Right from the tutorial where you start off as Joel’s daughter and by becoming her at the start the twist at the end of the tutorial really hits harder then you expect because you’ve been her. By the end of the game by playing as both characters you really become invested in their relationship and attached they are which makes the roaring rampage of revenge at the end in the hospital somehow totally expected right up to the shoot out in surgery. I mean I was so invested in the relationship that my hands were shaking and I’m ashamed to admit that I shoot the nurses as well.
“changing summer vacation plans to stay in Canada” - might I humbly suggest other commonwealth countries get in on this as well Summer in Canada is winter in Australia so you’ll find it quite nice and frankly Britain could use all the tourists it can get Anywhere in the commonwealth also has very easy visa requirements so honestly you won’t have to worry about ICE kicking in your door just because your passport is a funny colour
Corner Gas - it’s my happy place!
