Idk why Larian couldn't just like make the patch updates just be solely bug fixes and engine stability for minimum specs and instead save content updates to a standalone expansion for bg3. Or at least handed it off to a studio who wants to do that format (since Larian ceo is determined to move on from bg3 but prob can't since bg3 is literally printing money for the studio).

I would rather wait them or any other studio who take it out of Larians hands to make the standalone expansion for bg3 a few years for them rather than release deeply uneven narratives updates with just tidbits of updates and corrections like it's still in EA.

there is an author on ao3 who i’ve been following for 7-8 years for one fic and they didn’t update for two and a half years until earlier this summer. never once did i begrudge them. i give grace and well-wishes to all my fanwork creators and i do the same for content creators! they’re human first and i will always appreciate the effort that goes into putting something out there for others to see and enjoy.

That's actually a good point to bring up! And I think that the way people treat fanfic now is emblematic of the same issues.

I've definitely had fanfic I've been waiting on for years that have very sporadic and large breaks, but you see so many people now, especially in this fandom, treat not updating for a few months as an abandoned fic. It's the same root cause of the idea that you must always be engaged in a creators work, because must come now now now. Fast as possible, you got a show? Needs to be binged immediately. There's no pauses for breaks, and if there is you have to move on to the next thing.

People unwittingly put so much pressure on others to always create so that they can consume as much as possible, so that they are always thinking about this thing.

Being a mentally ill adult is just, am I exhausted because my mental health is about to fuck me over again, or because I work 40+ hours a week for an evil corporation?

garak is the Go nuts show nuts (to a point) parent and bashir is the Judgmental look Well I wouldn't do that... parent. Keiko and Miles have a very similar dynamic. Molly and Iskra bond over it

maybe this is a boomer take but i fucking hate the prioritization of mobile apps to the detriment of all other platforms. nothing has a website/desktop version anymore and if it does, like 70% of the time it's broken dogshit with a fraction of the functionality of the mobile app. like if you have multiple versions of your product why would you not maintain feature parity with your mobile app as much as possible!!!!! why do desktop apps just not fucking exist anymore!!!! why do i have to do literally everything on my phone!!!!!

Does Mayuri Kurotsuchi know that I would lovingly stare at him as he dissected me and be so brave about it and only try to grasp at him a couple times at most? I need him to know. He has to know I am insane for him.

Ghost is a walking dichotomy, Soap has discovered. He's watched him strip the layers of a man's skin away to get information from him, seen him snap someone's neck in as little time as it takes to take a breath. But he's also so capable of heartbreaking kindness. His genuine concern for the fish, the way he saves the best part of his plate for Soap; offering it to him with reverence. The way he's cleaning Johnny's wound so tenderly. It's in these moments of gentleness where Johnny almost forgets what they do, what they've seen, who they are.

So when Ghost's voice snaps into that serious tone it's almost like a slap in his dizzy, goofily smiling, face.

"Wha?"

"Where is it? I'll get rid of it for you." Under the sharp tone is still that lethal gentleness, and even under that is a shaking fear.

"Oh, oh Ghost." He shifts, uncomfortable in his skin and wanting to be anywhere but here. "Ye... Ye cannae get rid of it."

His Lieutenant draws back a little, a mix of apprehension and offense in his eyes.

"It hurt you, nothing else matters."

Soap can feel his heart splitting as his throat starts to burn. Ghost stares up at him with fiery eyes, hands still holding his wrist so so softly.

"Where is the snake Soap? I promise you it'll never hurt you again. Whoever brought it in is going to have hell to pay too." He earnestly promises and Soap feels a single hot tear slip out of his eye.

"Ghost..." He chokes out. "Simon... It's mine."

The small room goes silent. Nothing even dares to move but for the violent flinch the sentence rips out of Ghost.

He doesn't dare say anything, doesn't dare to move or even breathe. He looks down at Ghost and Ghost meets his stare with turmoil roiling in his gaze.

Soap doesn't know what he expected, screaming or sobbing or angry silence but the frantic confusion he can see in the other man is as far as can be from what he'd thought he'd get.

They sit there like that for a few long moments, each absorbed in his own thoughts, before Ghost slowly rises from his kneel. If Johnny were in better spirits he would tease him for the quiet cracks his knees make. And with that violent tenderness he slowly curls an arm around Johnny and leans him down into the bed, pressing behind him and holding him close just like they'd done on any number of frigid nights out in the blind. And they just sit there holding each other in silence as they slowly drift into a dreamless sleep.

i dont have enough words to say how much i loved Saw X.

WARNING: SPOILERS FROM SAW X

it was so awesome to have a better look at that man we all knew, but didn't really understand. the decision to make half the movie about the way Kramer dealed with the cancer may not please everyone, but it showed us that before his insanity, there is a human inside him.

also, i'm so happy Greutert directed this, because WOW, Kramer and Amanda feel the same! Tobin and Shawnee did an amazing job, it really felt like they just went back in time (i loved how Amanda's weird sense of humor stayed the same).

i really wish this is the last Saw movie, at least with John Kramer. the story is now officially finished, we understand him perfectly, we know all we can know, if Koules and Burg decide to make another one (honestly, i think they are already making it), i hope it's a soft-reboot, without Kramer, Amanda, Hoffman or any other apprentice. A new killer, a new world.

Saw is my favorite franchise and i always dreamed of a movie that could tie up everything in a beautiful and emotional way. i'm glad to say that we live in a world where that happened. now, i think it's time to let Saw rest.
