Secret history where homosexuality really is demonic and the modern sexual environment comes out of it escaping from a group of British occultists (who used it to empower their aesthetics) during the Blitz

One thing I didn’t expect about my stomach shrinking so much is that the skin covering it would get so soft and delicate as it didn’t have to bear such strain keeping my insides in.

A tweet by Nintendo Life captioned "Random: Japanese Parents Are Using Pikmin To Keep Their Children In Line". It is accompanied by a cropped image of the Pikmin 4 box art to show the Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Red Pikmin, and Crystal Pikmin.ALT
A reddit post titled "Pikmin 4 changed improved my life and I fucking hate it". The post reads: "Every single time I have something that needs doing that I don’t want to do I just think to myself, “Dandori issue.” Every single time. And it works. Every. Single. Time.  The only way I get so much done now is by dreaming of being one of these weird little plant guys. How do I explain that to my parents? My friends, even?! How do I tell them that my sudden drastic increase in productivity is from getting over my Dandori issue??  I just want to go back I don’t want to be a pikmin anymore. I don’t want to hear their little carrying song when I take my laundry out of the machine. How do I unplay pikmin."ALT

This is actually very normal human behavior. It’s just that most people (in the USA) think “Jesus strengthens me” instead of “I am a pikmin, dandori time”

I like how even with Nintendo setting per-publisher quotas they would just localize whatever they had on hand on the NES era. “Does anyone in America know who Golgo 13 is? No? Great, here’s a Golgo 13 game.”

So what was connaissance in the first place?

Comes from the same route as “cognizance.”

Is it related to why someone controlling a ship “has the conn”?

Alright, so tomorrow we’re doing a gridiron, that’s a pinball tournament formatted after an NFL season, where everyone is matched to a team, plays their schedule, and then proceeds to playoffs by NFL rules. We used to do it yearly in the mid-2010s, but this is the first time in six years; it’s great cause at the end the playoffs eligibility gives you intense rooting interests in total strangers’ games.

I am the Tennessee Titans.

Going into a bye week, the Titans are 0-6 :(

The Titans finished the season with a 6-11 record.

Question with 4 notes

Anonymous asked:

dam man for how much you talk about pinball i thought you were good. sad!

A bunch of those were “I had a good game but they had a better one”, I’m 5-10 now, but yeah, I lost a bit of instinct in the personality change there, more critically the anxiety zeroing makes me worse at constant awareness of the table and snap-second reacting, even more critically I’m still getting used to even parsing 3D vision.

But also I’m just mundanely rusty.

its been about 10 years since she showed me this but i am STILL thinking about how my (then) 4 year old cousin drew birds

OBSESSED with this creature; she draws the body from above/below and the head from the side, with a giant eyeball that takes up the entire head and never looks in a specific direction. in a very old-fashioned sense: iconic

Yeah I would have guessed this was on some ancient pottery or something

Guns N’ Roses: Not in this Lifetime

Haven’t been respecting the midlife crisis mancave-bait Gen X retro band tables they’ve been making lately but Jersey Jack has topped the 1994 Data East here, even supplanted Viper GTS: Night Drivin’ as best pinball table featuring Slash.

Sweet Child O’ Mine is a multiball where they just feed you like six for the first half of the song, on the other hand no one wants to see a video of the band and audience from a fucking 2020 performance

I wonder if Bono ever envies how Axl got the music press to spend the early ‘90s constantly wondering out loud if and when Chinese Democracy was coming.

Verdict: Respectable

Slash looks fine; the hat doesn’t age and if the curls ever went grey he dyes them. But Axl’s “Calvin at 25 years old” schtick is absurd now, he’s approaching AC/DC levels of “you look dumb dressed as a schoolboy”.
