I am gay and stupid, @dolldecaying can confirm

the way the most recent pokemon games don't let you turn off the exp share or the affection mechanic bonuses is nothing short of maddening. i think they make great accessibility features If Only They Were Optional and the flavour text is cute, but i want to have a fun casual playthrough that's at least mildly challenging without having to make it a nuzlocke or something. i don't want to feed my starter bitter medicines to make her hate me :(

the thing that gets me about the, "oh it's quick bc it's war, it's more realistic," defence for soap's death is 09 ghost's and roach's deaths were abrupt as well but they were still treated with dignity

ghost screams for roach and tries to kill shepherd before he’s killed. we the player get to sit and watch with a dying roach

roach tries one last time to get the dsm even though it’s hopeless. we see the way they throw ghost's body, the rising dread as they spread the fuel. the hatred for shepherd drags out when he flicks the cigar and lights it and the screen slowly darkens, music swelling as he gets away with it and roach finally dies as well

we hear price scream through the comms and the devastating realisation hits that if he'd called just a little earlier, they might have lived

that is how you do an abrupt but dignified death that respects the audience

mw3 is how you throw together a rushed and disjointed climax and hope people swallow it

Airbnb is an evil scam if you didn’t know !

Copperhead usually operates as a hitman but he's also an expert thief, utilizing his metahuman abilities and skills in contortionism to slip through even the tightest gaps to get at his target. He'll steal whatever his contractor desires, ensuring a timely delivery leaving no trails leading back to them while those who his employers wish dead will be hunted relentlessly, his choice of murder usually being either venom or strangulation.

The Price May Be Right - Opening & Rules

Last May, I did a countdown of my favorite Christopher Lee performances, in celebration of the late, great actor’s 100th Birthday. Even as I was in the process of making such a list, however, I immediately had in mind ideas for another countdown that would come the following May – this May – in honor of another fine, fabulous, favorite actor of mine. Coincidentally, not only did this same performer share the same birthday as Christopher Lee (albeit during different years), and not only did he work with him in a few good movies (and some not-so-good ones), but the two performers were very good friends in real life. That performer, of course, is the inimitable Vincent Price.

While Price was an actor before my time – he actually passed away less than six months before I was born – he, alongside Christopher Lee, has always been among my greatest inspirations. A lot of people don’t realize just how versatile and skilled a performer Vincent Price truly was: while most people know him well for his work in horror films, and for playing many a dastardly and urbane villain in his time, Price’s career stretched across all genres for over 50 years. He played everything from bit parts to main protagonists, from romantic leads to comedic crooks. He was prolific across basically every form of media one could find: records, radio dramas, theatrical films, television productions, and theatre. He worked in musicals, in animated pieces, and even in theme park attractions. Alongside Christopher Lee, Price was – and remains – one of the single most productive actors of the past century or so. Price never got the accolades in his lifetime that I think he fully deserved; he never got an Oscar for his work, nor any sorts of nominations for the same. Indeed, most of the nominations and awards he did receive came near or even after his passing. Despite this, I’ve always felt that Vincent was one of the most hardworking and fun actors who ever lived. Much like his friend, Christopher Lee, no matter what part he was playing, nor what film he was in, he did his best to enjoy himself and give the audience something to enjoy, in turn. He never phoned in a performance, and he was one of those splendid actors who could make just about anything watchable. With his marvelous and unmatchable voice and grand sense of wit and humor, he could turn just about any role into something spectacular. So, I decided it was time I give him his fair due! Over the course of this month, I’ll be counting down My Top 31 Favorite Vincent Price Performances, spanning just about every portion of his career in the process. The only real rule here is that I obviously have to have seen his performance in order for it to qualify; with hundreds of roles under his belt, there are numerous options to choose from. Tomorrow, I’ll be covering some Honorable Mentions: a Twisted Ten Performances that I absolutely love, but didn’t quite make the cut. Then, starting May 1st, the countdown shall begin in earnest! I hope you all will join me for a little event I’m going to call…The Price May Be Right!

Hey fellas, long story to do with the bullshit illness I was diagnosed with this last year, but I might be really open to small emergency commissions.

USA please listen to me: the price of “teaching them a lesson” is too high. take it from New Zealand, who voted our Labour government out in the last election because they weren’t doing exactly what we wanted and got facism instead.

Trans rights are being attacked, public transport has been defunded, tax cuts issued for the wealthy, they've mass-defunded public services, cut and attacked the disability funding model, cut benefits, diverted transport funding to roads, cut all recent public transport subsidies, cancelled massive important infrastructure projects like damns and ferries (we are three ISLANDS), fast tracked mining, oil, and other massive environmentally detrimental projects and gave the power the to approve these projects singularly to three ministers who have been wined and dined by lobbyists of the companies that have put the bids in to approve them while one of the main minister infers he will not prioritise the protection of endangered species like the archeys frog over mining projects that do massive environmental harm. They have attacked indigenous rights in an attempt to negate the Treaty of Waitangi by “redefining it”; as a backup, they are also trying to remove all mentions of the treaty from legislation starting with our Child Protection laws no longer requiring social workers to consider the importance of Maori children’s culture when placing those children; when the Waitangi Tribunal who oversees indigenous matters sought to enquire about this, the Minister for Children blocked their enquiry in a breach of comity that was condemned in a ruling — too late to do anything — by our Supreme Court. They have repealed labour protections around pay and 90 day trials, reversed our smoking ban, cancelled our EV subsidy, cancelled our water infrastructure scheme that would have given Maori iwi a say in water asset management, cancelled our biggest city’s fuel tax, made our treasury and inland revenue departments less accountable, dispensed of our Productivity Commission, begun work on charter schools and military boot camps in an obvious push towards privatisation, cancelled grants for first home buyers, reduced access to emergency housing, allowed no cause evictions, cancelled our Maori health system that would have given Maori control over their own public medical care and funding, cut funding of services like budgeting advice and food banks, cancelled the consumer advocacy council, cancelled our medicine regulations, repealed free prescriptions, deferred multiple hospital builds, failed to deliver on pre-election medical promises, reversed a gun ban created in response to the mosque shootings, brought back three strikes = life sentence policy, increased minimum wage by half the recommended amount, cancelled fair pay for disabled workers, reduced wheelchair services, reversed our oil and gas exploration ban, cancelled our climate emergency fund, cut science research funding including climate research, removed limits on killing sea lions, cut funding for the climate change commission, weakened our methane targets, cancelled Significant National Areas protections, have begun reversing our ban on live exports. Much of this was passed under urgency.

It’s been six months.
