Important psa: 4/13 is not only john’s birthday but jane’s birthday to!!!!! Don’t leave her out!!! Thank you that is all

i have been feeling really great recently !!!

april fools im dead inside

the education system wont really be teaching you important shit like this..

so let me be the one to do it…

Kids.  Teenagers.  As someone staring 40 in the face lemme tell you a thing.

You are going to be horrified and embarrassed at some point by the shit you are doing now.

And you are going to wish with all your might you’d done more of it.  

You’re gonna wish you had more selfies, more photos, more videos being dumb with your friends.  You’re going to wish you’d had your hair even higher or your shoes even sparklier.  

Go.  Document the shit out of your ridiculous life.  Fuck trends but if you wanna be trendy, go all in.  Fuck in-groups and subcultures but if one sings to you, do it all.  Be exactly as cool or punk rock or goth or fandom or country or hardcore or hip hop or whatever, and don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Just don’t hurt people.  That’s the only thing you’ll ever genuinely live to regret.

alright so who wants to fall in love with me

this is unbelievable I have to do everything myself

Unlearning How White People Ask Personal Questions

Holy shit. I have ALWAYS thought the people around me were being unconscionably intrusive and power-playing in their starter conversations and they told me I was antisocial and oblivious to culture norms. Turns out, maybe I’m just from a different culture.

Just in case y’all needed a reminder.

SBURB is/was a game with perma-death. The kind where if a character in the game dies for whatever reason the story continues regardless, until you reach a point where the story just.. ends. Game Over. The only way to achieve the best ending from that point is either to start all over from the beginning and fix your mistakes. Or, cheat. John achieves the power of the meta game. He can activate no clip codes, instantly travel to any area he pleases, and most importantly, he can REVERT STORY PROGRESS. That’s why instead of creating an actual offshoot timeline he “F1X3S” the alpha timeline via cheats. TL;DR: John Egbert is the GameGenie of SBURB.

Where’s all the “Blue Lives Matter” people now?!?! …Or does that only apply when the victims are White? …Or does that only matter if the offenders aren’t also cops?

just a reminder that if a person of color tells you that something you do is racist it is in your best interest to listen to them and self crit rather than argue with them if you truly want to be an ally, if you’re really committed to the struggle, listen to the voices of poc who go out of their way to educate you and stop fighting them lmao

why y'all “allies” sleeping on this

because this has been making the rounds again i’d like to add on a few things:

Nice payoff on that conversation from the jail cell. Maybe Aranea should put some more research into what powers she’s giving people when she unlocks their potential like this.

“Without selling microtransactions on top of $60 games, the AAA games industry just cannot survive!”

“Without reasonably-priced AAA games, gamers won’t survive!”

If you don’t like what the AAA industry is putting out or how they’re pricing it, just don’t buy it. Play older games, or newer games that aren’t produced by major studios, or make your own games. Or play games around a tabletop with your friends. Or a virtual tabletop, if your friends don’t live nearby.

Or go outside and take a walk in the woods. Read a book. Write a book, or a short story, or a poem. Weave, knit, crochet, or spin. Homebrew beer, or wine, or mead. Home-distill some moonshine, and share it with those whom you love, and whom you trust not to rat you out to the tyrants of the BATF.

Go take a gun-safety and basic gun-handling class (or learn from an older relative), if you’re into first-person shooters, then go out to a shooting range (or set up a bullet-trap in the woods so you’re not leaving bits of lead everywhere, as stick a hand-drawn target on that, if you love somewhere that’s legal). Buy a gun of your own, if you’re of age, not a felon, and not mentally ill in a way that makes you a danger to yourself or others, and use and store it responsibly. Go hunting, and eat what you kill.

Take up a sport. Take up watching a sport, and throw in some statistical analysis if that’s your thing. If so, I recommend baseball (and looking into sabermetrics). Or softball if you’re willing to put some effort into compiling an adequate body of machine-and-human–readable play-by-play data for the NPF and/or NCAA, and then duplicating the analyses that went into generating the body of statistical knowledge that already exists for baseball — and if so, please, drop me a line, as this is a project that I’m hoping to get started on soon, and we should probably coordinate our efforts!

Carve wood. Split wood, and burn it for warmth. Get a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino, and build something amazing. Learn to use Linux. Learn to use OpenBSD. (Learn to use Minix, if that’s your thing.) Learn to understand some portion (or all) of the relevant source code if you’re so inclined, and fine a way to contribute.

Learn to use xv6, and to understand its source. Set up a PDP-11 emulator (or acquire, or build, (a functional of) an actual PDP-11, if you’re into hardware and have the resources) and learn to use UNIX Version 6, as presented in the Lions Book, and to understand its source. Or, if you lean a different way, get or emulate an Intel 8080 (or other compatible chip) and learn to use and modify CP/M.

Write your own operating system from scratch, but using what you’ve learned from examining existing system. The history of varies UNIX-style OSes suggests that if you’re well-prepared, it should take somewhere between 1 and 3 person-years to get it to a reasonably functional state. Good luck.

Learn to weld. Learn to build in brick, or stone, and build something useful. Learn to garden, and set up a vegetable patch. Learn to farm, and set up a homestead.

Take up meditation. Teach meditation. Honor the gods with service, with prayer, with sacrifice, or with all three. Honor worthy humans. Honor worthy animals. Do works of charity. Feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and give medical care to the sick, either directly or by giving money. Get into effective altruism, or get into debating the merits of effective altruism. Become active in local politics.

Do any or all of these things and a thousand others. Some require money, or an able body. Some require both, and some require neither. Some require particular natural talents, and some can be done by anyone who’s willing to put in the time and effort, and who’s capable of reading this post in the first place.

And play AAA computer games as well, if that’s your thing. But if the average cost-per-hour of those games, multiplied by the number of hours per month you’re spending on them, is a meaningful burden on your finances, the odds that how much AAA games cost is your biggest problem — or is even on the same order of magnitude as your biggest problem — are low indeed.
