We had one of those once, but our sink leaked and it got so waterlogged that it somehow turned on and became impossible to shut off and I got too scared to touch it, that's a real Skong weapon to me

(Obviously doesn't have to be your own address if that's not something you're comfy giving out to strangers, a PO box or a friend or something is also fine!)

UPDATE: WE DIDN'T WIN! But it was a good showing with tough competition, and TAOU still gets a sticker to put on the cover. Yayayay.

It's important to know people outside your age range because then you get to find out what terms other generations will judge you for. I asked a kid once if a game was "PC or mobile" and they bullied me so so bad

This is a non-sequitur, but are you still looking for The Parasite Transcendent? My partner and I are moving house and have a copy from PAX, we'd rather it get mailed to someone who wants it than get battered in shipment. Let me know!

MY DATE: So... who's your favorite Pokemon?

ME: Well, of course Missingno is a classic, but I really do think that 'M (3TrainerPoké $) has such interesting mechanics, and of course there's OPKMN4X and ◣ゥ 8--

MY DATE, FRANTICALLY SIGNALLING FOR THE CHECK: how did you do that with your mouth

Every day this week I've had to explain what a groyper or a Pepe is, what a sexyman is, or what happened when DeviantART banned porn, and each time I desperately hope no one follows up with asking how I learned these things in the first place

"Kris Deltarune is evil!" "Kris will betray the Fun Gang!" "Kris is working for the Knight!" Joke's on you, I've already processed all my emotions and have moved on to tenderly caring for them and forgiving them no matter what happens

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

I could never be a master criminal because I have too much brainrot. I'd write a manifesto like "it was all the ingredience for a perfect storm" and the cops would call just to say "YOU MEAN INGREDIENTS???"

Opinion: Mental illness in Black people is criminalized, and Lil Nas X being thrown to the ground and arrested is no laughing matter, Mey Rude writes.

Forget the 'stunts'—what happened to Lil Nas X is terrifying
