Modern day Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock and Watson are hanging out. Watson is listening to Katy Perry on full blast through headphones. He removes a single earbud and remarks that he wants Starbucks. Sherlock, until now engrossed in solving some problem or another, turns to his friend and says, “You’re elementary, my dear Watson.”

this is probably a dumb joke that I came up with. 

is this even a joke? I feel like I should know more about the parameters of what a joke is. 

anyway, most people I’ve showed this to personally have found it funny so hopefully this’ll make like one person laugh? that’s a success afaic

Nothing has injured me near so much as this moment, in any game. Not with Lavitz, not with Mordin, not with my Hawke. Their endings were just, if sad; I had to believe that they had fulfilled a purpose, had played a role in something larger than themselves. This moment is just so melancholy though and it was so crazy to feel those feelings rise up again. I just didn’t know I could still feel this strongly about a fictional series.

The Witcher has been a love of mine for many years and I have finally gotten the chance to play the third installment, after many playthroughs of the other two and reading the books, I finally have this to tie everything together and I could not have been more ecstatic about it. Then I arrived at this scene, with Priscilla singing this haunting song in the tavern, as you quickly realize it’s about you, it’s about all of this. It feels so strange to hear that and be moved and saddened so deeply. It made me think back over all the things that happened in this series of games and books and it does that thing where your stomach turns over because you’re excited and anxious but also gripped with fear and nervousness for what’s to come in the many hours that await before you can finally put down the controller. Ugh the heartache is so real. Andrzej Sapkowski it’s the fucking man and CDPR are the shit. That is all.

Super late when I wrote this, but I feel like it still holds up; Sapkowski and CDPR are so dope and somehow this relatively early moment in the game was significantly more painful in that hurts so good sort of way than some major deaths from other things that I’ve loved. I think I’ve just been involved with this series for so long that every twist is painful because it makes me yearn for all the old plot points that’ve been resolved. 

Ahhh, just so good.

Guess who I met

a 90’s kid? don’t you mean sad adult?

70,000 people have reblogged this but no one is trying to defend themselves

There is nothing to defend

#i read a post once that described 90s kids as the generation of nostalgia #because so much technological advancement happened in such a rapid timeframe when we were growing up #that we can clearly remember having technologies that are now obsolete #like going from a corded hugeass phone to a small computer in your pocket just within our formative years is a major thing #and it sparks a nostalgia for our seemly ‘simpler’ childhoods #because so much rapid development makes it seem like it was a lot longer ago than it actually was (x)

This is the most solid explanation of our decade I have ever heard.

Oh my god

Just to add onto that, our childhood wasn’t even technology based. We grew up knowing of chalk, skateboards, jump rope, street hockey, playgrounds, butterfly collecting, etc. Slowly technology took over our lives and now there are hardly kids playing outside in the summer. We can clearly remember our childhood as it was and now we can see the clear line between it. We were the generation right smack in the middle of it all. Our parents were of non-tech and our children/young siblings will be all tech.

Not to mention, ours was the last generation that grew up with all those bright promises of “work hard, go to college, and you’ll have a successful life,” only to find those hopes abruptly dashed when the housing bubble burst. Milliennials have grown up expecting that disappointment, because for them, the problem has been there since Day One.

So 90s kids aren’t just nostalgic…we’re BITTER. And we ache for those days when we could still think that the world was boundless and full of the opportunities we were promised since the first day of kindergarten.

Every time someone adds to this i have to reblog.
