TW: a long read (with really awkward clinical phrasing) referencing sexual assault and harassment

Ahhh I picked up one of the RPG maker bundles at the beginning of June, but between a birthday/bureaucratic vacation and fulltime employment, I knew I wouldn't be able to give it my all for this contest. 700 entries, jesus...still, I regret watching from the sidelines :c

Yes, once Moses was disowned, he would have adopted the Hebrew style. But in the above trailer, Bale is consistently depicted with a thick head of hair and frankly-anachronistic dress, even within the Egyptian Royal palace, as an Egyptian royal prince and brother to the heir.

This is true, which then begs the question; why is it only the (Australian) Joel Edgerton being "historically" stylized to be "almost unrecognizable"? Ramses II and Moses grow up as royal brothers — there are explicit statements and clear scenes to that effect, in the royal palace, in the above trailer. There's no…

Not to mention the villain has been completely stripped of 95% of his follicles c: because nothing screams effeminate exotic foreign *menace* like a bald man in eyeliner.

"You very much seemed to imply that as long as someone was thrashing, they weren't actually drowning."

Who are these numbnuts claiming Korean snack superiority? I grew up on a steady diet of traditional Chinese cuisine and a pantry stuffed with all manner of snacks from the Asian continent. Having lived in Korea for nearly a year now — on the tropical island of Jeju, famed for succulent pork belly, pure spring waters…

Skyrim (basic) is literally $10 right now :'D Borderlands 2 goes on sale practically every month, you can definitely grab it for $5 during a summer sale.

Mmmhm, this is the sole reason I still haven't picked it up, despite avidly following the game months before release.

My only fond memory of my father is of playing the original SNES Star Fox together like this when I was three — sitting on his lap and "manning weapons stations", he'd say, while he executed dizzying whirls and tumbles around polygonal enemy fire. This co-op mode could be amazing for the next generation...

+600/wpm is only for really mulling over the texture of the text when I don't want the book to end; +1,200/wpm is the comfortable usual pace; ~1,700/wpm for page-turning when the action is really boiling over; 2,200/wpm for 10 minutes before class and I forgot to study (but also not enjoyable). I'm both satisfied and…

When you're a woman, fear is a fact of life. That's not to say we're necessarily scared all the time; it's simply that we're all too familiar with that sudden prickle.

All I have been fixating on for the last 3 minutes is I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S NOT HOW YOU REMOVE AN ARROW, LET ALONE TEND TO AN ARROW WOUND.

Is it not unusual for there to be a non gender-segregated area as well then? Not for the actual bathing, but post-bath social area with salt saunas? At least the ones in my city, which is within Korean borders, are like that.

I was a competitive little shit so of course I was always a runaway 1st in reading contests. Runner-ups rarely read more than half my triple-digit list C:

As a child, my parents refused to buy books for the very same reason :c I regularly read +600 wpm with ease but I've clocked in at 1700 with fairly minimal effort. Technical reading is slower but speed (for me) is really a matter of interest. Vocabulary is rarely an issue, so contractual/legislative language…

Under Different Stars had such lovely cover art, I was expecting something more subtle than...Twilight with Elf-Aliens. At least the former made a stab at prose (and even then, Twilight's narrative still read like an extended grocery list).

I'm at the point that I always check the author's gender on these articles before scrolling to the comments, because some days I just can't wade through the disproportionate vomitous mass.

NOPE.

Ikea's aesthetic is nostalgic for me, it was both affordable and sturdy for my immigrant grad-student parents.
