AC Shadows feels racist because they didn’t make the Templar nights do a Sign of the Cross mini game every time you upgraded a skill. They didn’t force you to genuflect every time you crossed in front of a tabernacle in a Templar cathedral.

It’s hard tk tell if they’re making a concerted effort to streamline/clean up the Isu lore, or if they’re just using Ancient Chinese Secret tropes to justify meta game

I’m still early game, so I can judge more once I see how far they lean into the mythology (controversially my favorite part of AC universe—I was so bummed at the lack of folklore & magic in Mirage and accidentally 100%’d the game trying to find the quests I missed).

I’m not really that interested or invested in the Animus/contemporary world sci-fi technology side of the story, but they might be redirecting all the “weird” stuff into glitches instead of deities.

Even though my brain totally erases any porn I watch from my memory after the fact, I can also recall every porn video I’ve already seen as if I’m watching with invisible closed captions.

I’ve passed a majority of tests by having Slum Dog Millionaire-style flashbacks to where the information was physically printed on the page of a study guide.

I don’t know if I have a photographic memory or if that’s just how memory works.

Whether you like it or not I’m going to start posting my stoner recipes because I have always dreamed of having a big party where everyone brings their most Baked Good Snack (big Hear Me Out energy encouraged, don’t show up with a bag of Funyuns unless you’ve also brought a jar of jalepeno jelly and bacon bits <this recipe has not been tested it’s just a generic example that feels accessible to most>)

Anyways, Audience, tonight’s snack is:

Savorie Sesame Pizza Bites (not Pizza)

Brain Power Required: 4 (low: these steps are for the “fancy” version but could be simplified to avoid using oven broiler)

Cravings: Funky, Umami, Carbs, Deep, Luncheon, Pop-Em-In’s, Finger Foods

Ingredients: sesame bagel, butter, marmite spread, Italian blend shredded cheese.

1) slice/toast bagel, lighter side (toaster)

2) spread with butter and SMIDGE of marmite. This does deepen to “burned” flavor under broiler if spread too thick. Marmite is not like apple butter think of it more like MSG paste.

3) sprinkle with shredded Italian blend cheese.

I know you’re thinking “this is a great place to riff” and YOURE RIGHT but I promise you you need to try it as-written first. Yes it feels beige but just trust me for once.

4) Broil on LOW for 6-8 min (oven)

PLEASE SET A TIMER AND DONT BROIL ON HIGH. I promise you 9 times out of 10 high broiler just ends up burning before the whole thing warms through and gets the benefit of being in an oven.

You want the cheese brown like a Panera Bread Asiago Bagel. I guess you could just eat an Asiago bagel with marmite and butter, but the toasted sesame really gives a satisfying munch.

4) Cut each half bagel into 6 triangular pieces. THIS STEP IS NECESSARY OTHERWISE ITS JUST A BAGEL.

You could serve here with some sort of blended cottage cheese & chives/scallions, ranch, hot sauce, or any sort of dip you could whip up from fridge condiments. This is a bonus step for extra-munchie affairs. They are really yummy standalone in the way a soft pretzel is. Speaking of which queso or even gas station nacho cheese would be fire.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe and will give it a try!!!

Also just to emphasize I’m sure this is just a normal food for many people but I just want to encourage some of you to give marmite the correct shot.

santa's elves can only exist in a world where toys are made of cloth and wood, in my mind. they're still up there making wooden cars and rocking horses and teddy bears and then santa loads them all in his sack and they magically transform into plastic action figures in clamshell packaging and an Xbox 360 and no one worries about it.

When people say “there’s nothing worse than hearing about a dream someone had” they actually mean D&D campaign instead of dream.

Always been confused about the marketing of this as “empowering female friendship” and not “Your Problematic Rich BFF is a MAGA sycophant”???

Glinda really had an entire musical number expounding on the theme of "success in life is not about being highly qualified or even competent, but manipulating people's superficial perception of you." and then she went into POLITICS. truly the #girlboss representation the world has earned

Here are the types of backgrounds you can choose from when you post a dick pic on a Sniffies/Grindr profile:

1) Sparse living room filled with office waiting room sofas. The room has large windows, concrete floors, and exposed ductwork. This is a “gentrified” building. The room is decorated either like a TJ Maxxinista showroom with faux fur throws and brass statuettes/millenial geometric rugs OR Fro-Yo/Bubble Tea Shop royalty free artwork.

2) Hoarded bed room. The bed is wrought iron and oak (often sled shaped) either inherited from parents or purchased from the show floor of Value City (with matching dressers and double-wide mirrored vanity). The side tables are black manufactured wood with silver legs ($20 Walmart) and every surface is covered in lotions and ointments, tissues, Funko Pops, vapes, laundry in plastic baskets, oil diffusers and air fresheners. The wall art is from Kohls with a sort of Tuscan flair: reds, golds, maroons collaged with damask patterns. The room is carpeted in beige.

3) A bathroom from the 1930s that hasn’t been cleaned in equally as long. The shower door is frosted glass and the sink isn’t big enough for one person let alone all the shaving supplies plugged into the outlet next to the dirty mirror. Towels inherited from the nursing home. Stains and mold spores that make you wonder how they ever get clean, let alone feel sexy enough to photograph themselves and make this their first impression.

4) “Mom’s House” guest bathroom. The walls are wallpapered in 1990s stripes & florals with a clashing border 3/4 up the wall. Kohl’s Tuscan-style artwork makes a return, this time in motifs of clawfoot baths and scrolling italicized fonts. There are shadow box frames of dried flowers and an oak towel rack with stacks of decorative hand towels that aren’t functional for drying, and have probably been a permanent fixture in the decor for decades. You know theres a matching furry rug set on the floor and wrapping around the toilet.

5) Crotch shot POV in drivers seat of car after gym. You can’t tell if the logo on the steering wheel is meant to be a flex. Alternatively, with work boots and jeans that might be saying “im a trucker on the road” or “Im just a non-fancy working man who probably isn’t going to shower before meeting up because I only get on the app when I’m running errands.”

Please feel free to add your own observations— these may be regional observations (Northern, Midwestern, East Coast).

How do you describe your artistic impulse?

Mine is that I feel a core responsibility to contribute to human culture by leaving cool, thoughtful, and insightful things behind. To share my understanding and interpretation of what I’ve learned about being a human with future humans.

I’m genuinely driven by the need to be archived. I want my existence to be a riddle that’s purposefully solved.

Pay me $3mil for this idea: Oreos but the cookies are Chips Ahoy. Not chips ahoy flavored cream, not Little Debbie Oatmeal Pie crème between two Chips Ahoy, normal Oreo crème with Oreo-sized Chips Ahoy.
