magical girls are real, and you have been chosen by a magical creature to become one. The only problem is your a full grown man with 2 kids and a wife.
People rarely speak about it, and I find it is really weird. So, as your big games sis, I’m gonna share a great tip for my fella ganers.
If you study European language, check (on Steam, for ex.) if your games there supports voice overs in this language.
For example, there’s this game series, Risen, and I love it a lot. Like, “I know this shit by heart and still play it when I am sad” lvl of love. It was created by German devs, so it has really great German voice overs. So, when I chill and play it, I unintentionally pick up patterns in language, vocab and stuff - even though I am not actively studying, my brain doing some passive learning, while not making me super duper tired.
So, if you are a gamer, and have a library of games, that supports the language you study - try this out. Or try out some games, that do support this system.
Active study is great, but don’t underestimate the power of chill input!
Concept: “Evil” species just have reverse aesthetics to everyone else
An orc shows up in gold and white armour with angelic decor, everyone welcomes him in, and he burns down the local old person’s home.
The next orc is like “What the hell? The dude was dressed like a supervillain, and I put on my red and black skull armour specifically to make it clear I was the good guy! How did you mix this up?”
I know SEVERAL afab nonbinary people who, as soon as they came out as nonbinary - immediately began dressing in ridiculous hyper-femme outfits they never would have worn before. A lot of people see this and say shit like “Theyfab” or say they are only nonbinary for attention. After all, look how femme they are.
But to me, this makes perfect sense. When you are forced into the category of “woman” against your will, femininity is a chore. It’s a job that you have. As soon as you say no, I’m not a woman, suddenly femininity isn’t your job anymore. It’s not a requirement. It’s just a fun hobby you can get into. Or a little treat sometimes.
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content–it’s easy and addictive.
What we’re NOT getting is that ‘slow dopamine’ that’s more sustainable and engaging. That’s the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.
So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.
Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You’ll feel better for it.
An Actual Real Person my Dad knew. Pretty sure he worked as a bush guide. When someone asked the time he’d pull off his hat - some kind of broad brim - and use to take a few measurements of the sun’s position relative to the horizon. Then he’d declare the time.
He was accurate to the minute.
Fvvdvddsfdssdhnvfh you get back here and say this to the rest of the crew
If you are ever looking for furniture you’ve got to go to an antique store. Now when I say antique store, I don’t mean the boutique downtown that will charge you $700 for a lamp. I mean the trashy place up the street on a big lot with tables and chairs piled up for miles outside. The kind that stretches 75 miles back in a cold room with no descernable path through it. You will find the best, sturdiest, and coolest shit for amazing prices. If it’s in the middle of nowhere it’s even better because you can haggle.
Isn’t this how most people get haunted
I’m willing to take that chance if it means I get a hardwood armoire for my bedroom for $129.
Don’t think of it as being haunted, think of it as a “buy one antique, get a free ghost” deal.
everyone’s very focused on the absolute nuclear scale of dunking going on in the new hbomb but i feel like a lot of the talk about it has been focused on that + ‘wow this guy i’ve never heard of is awful’ but i think the first half of the video is actually even more important. he literally gives you the tools to notice plagiarism and when people are covering up for copying or lack of information. remember them & use them & don’t fall into this trap again please!! for the good of smaller creators and good information
