I kinda loved it. I loved how all the protagonists were pretty much scraped up from the bottom of the barrel. I loved how everyone seemed as though they’d never had much occasion to smile. I loved how they took the dregs of the rebel alliance—the guilty ones, the ones who have done terrible things for the cause—and…

Ohmigosh so that’s what the difference is. Couldn’t put my finger on why he looked so completely different in some images.

Was having awful issues with crashing due to running out of memory (Win 10), despite meeting the minimum requirements. I installed the patch, but I think the real silver bullet was digging into how the rig handles virtual memory and adjusting that up. I got the game running stable for three hours today, using 6.5 gigs…

My rig’s not the greatest, but I’m disappointed I can’t play with nicer graphics. The first was so gorgeous, I just wanna see the new one in all its glory.

ANGRY. So angry. So angry that I’m trying to bullshit my way into a journalism job (for an alt paper) when I have neither an English degree nor any journalistic experience.

So this week was definitely better than last week in terms of job-loss grief? I’m glad I’m not crying anymore and constantly dwelling on shit.

So I figured when I got fired, that I could totally use this as an opportunity to make my life go to awesome places. Look on the bright side, right?

Squat toilets in India. I don’t understand how these are supposed to work, because when you pee the pee goes everywhere (airport bathrooms in India are the worst).

So I just got fired from a job I loved, and I’m severely questioning everything right now. Any tips on how to deal with all the emotional shit?

It’s PA. This sort of thing is not uncommon. I’ve found lots of things with bullet holes in them in the woods.

Oh god I’ve been having this with DA:I lately. Three new areas to explore, countless people to talk to, countless side quests...on the bright side, I’ll always have Hinterlands quests.

Yo whatever happened to those old PC games for kids that were a thing in the 90s? Put-Put the Car, Freddie the Fish, Big Thinkers...game developers need to start making a new generation of those games.

Correction: paper is called Daily Gazette. Not sure where y’all got “Press Gazette” from.

So many of these stories demonstrate the adage of what I've learned being a designer

On the subject of rock salt, is there any easy and cheap way to get it out of carpet? My dorm floor has all these lovely white stains from the amount of salt that gets tracked in here.

If I could recommend this multiple times, I would. Birth control and abortion have ugly ties to the eugenics movement, and this is so rarely acknowledged. Thank you for talking about these problems so clearly.

This is a really great list of books with socialist themes. :)

I'm in Environmental Studies. :) This is kind of a practice proposal for my actual thesis next year, so a bit less stressful.

My work process for a thesis proposal:

Happy birthday! I'd send a cake gif, but Kinja's being mean as per usual. I hope your cold feels better soon.
