FREE PALESTINE! CEASE FIRE NOW!

Before he set fire to himself outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, the last words of Aaron Bushnell - Free Palestine

"My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active duty member of the US airforce, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers. It's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine!"

I think I'm going over something obvious when I say that you need to have a near-perfect understanding of a community, its needs, values and vulnerabilities if you can hope to do it justice. You also need to have respect for those people and staff is demonstrating they have neither. The "LGBT" staff line is the most irritating. LGBT people who understand nothing and do nothing (or worse) are just like any other idiot. Do we get this now.

one of my favourite examples of preserving atmosphere in a remake or HD version of a game will always be deciding not to remaster any of the music for twilight princess HD, and actually not changing much of the visuals either, something about that games atmosphere comes from the hazy and and dream like quality of digital media from the time. the muffled audio has this incredible ethereal quality to it that you just do not find in games anymore. there was something truely magical about 2000s dark fantasy media that i hope we will see again someday

A train in the desert is the best case scenario obviously. In this matter the ocean, snowfields and outer space are kinds of deserts and boats and spaceships are kinds of trains. Maybe that was obvious.

The best places for a story to take place are;

In a desert

On a train

here is the second thing;

After seven to eight hundred hours it's a matter of biochemistry. You have stimulated interest through attention if not the other way around, and here's where I know homestuck people have what it takes to get onboard. Also like homestuck it is going to have at least one guy in there to make you insane. If I'm speaking to you here you also recognize this isn't an endorsement; what I'm saying is it's too late for me and you can too.

That being said I am shocked at my absence of cynicism. It's a little embarrassing to think "I am too old for this" so often. The answer is the first paragraph's thing. We have plastic brains and everything is practice. Even enjoying yourself is practice and it gets easier. Homestuck is miserable in practice as well as theory. At least when the game is a little too nice to me (for my money) we both get something out of it.

I think most of my days of talking about The Webcomic are behind me (and I currently do not have that much to say about FFXIV; it is a fantasy mmo, there is some enjoyable grounded political intrigue and some truly off-the-wall sharkjumping, it is a C+ time to be had outside of its Moments) but I am not less interested in it. If anything time has grown my fondness and patience both. But instead, I write thousands of words for two to three people at most and the text posts weren't wrong, that really is better. Can I recommend the game? Well, I can at least recommend getting lost in the sauce.

Point being; I have bamboozled you. None of that matters. What REALLY matters is they have a beautiful, autistic, transgender elf wizard in here, hence my first post. And all it will cost you is your dignity, >three months of your life and ~$90. Up to you.

i have thought of a second thing to tell you about final fantasy fourteen but it will have to wait until i have done laundry and made coffee. making coffee requires picking up milk at the corner store. you understand me here
