Why my gf hasn't left me after how much I've fumbled is anyone's guess 🤷‍♀️

It's my mass of curly hair, she says 😊

Asked my girlfriend which Pokémon I am and she said Tangela and I need y'all to let me know if she's in trouble or not 😇

Walked away with this funky little guy, a bunch of myki decoration stickers, and the sticker that best embodies me when I'm behind the wheel

We also got a couple of art prints to hang up and decorate the apartment with

A yellow case guy with lavender in his head and sitting on top of my hair tie case

A sticker that says baby on board, and the driver crying and saying,"it's me I'm crying"

Going to the Melbourne Finders Keepers market and having the queer asian DJ blast 10 lesbian love songs in a row may have fixed me actually

checked out Carimara on a whim, got maybe the most gorgeous and heartbreaking game I've played all year by surprise www.inverse.com/gaming/carim...

A stunning new mystery game is the perfect game to play this Halloween, even if you're not a typical horror fan.

Taiwan wahoo!!!!

I'm Taiwanese.

Americans don't understand. There comes a point where we'd rather leverage with China than deal with the goddamn US anymore.

You've exploited us for too long. "Protections" under the guise of profiting off and exploiting my people.

I have grown up wanting to mute America.

what I'm saying is that Zambrero's marketing team needs to shorten their name to something Australians can actually pronounce

formulating a theory that Guzman Y Gomez is only popular because kids call it "Guzy G's"

it's the most expensive out of the fast food mexican competitors while offering stodgy corn chips and inferior meat options *and* you have to pay extra for sour cream

Watching National and ACT strip everything from public infrastructure to rental protections and stoking the housing market again while also increasing racism and violence *AND* trying to undo the treaty of Waitangi?

Yeah, I fucking left. Everyone else I know did too.

Downer Group screwing up our light rail, Fletcher's monopoly protected by our government to ensure no good housing stock would ever be built, and the supermarket duopoly being unchallenged so that cost of living explodes was the moment I knew nothing good would ever happen again in New Zealand.

Sure Otacon is more pathetic but nobody matches Revolver Ocelot trying to impress Snake with an engraved revolver and then it disappearing immediately in the next scene after Snake chides him for it.

maddie @maddievivrose.bsky.social · 20d

My roman empire is how big of a loser Revolver Ocelot is in MGS3: Snake Eater and I love him.

Real *throws a rock at you* "will you be my friend" in the playground vibes.

Wondering if pronatalism propaganda has truly exploded outward because of all the baby stroller and "tantrum free bathtimes" ads I'm getting or if my algorithm knows something that I don't: that there is a way to get trans girls pregnant.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

I always knew Australia was racist as hell, I just never knew it was *this* much.

Adelaide tradies are the worst, even though half of them are immigrants.

I'm never going back to that hellhole.

Spent the past few months escaping a super racist and transphobic city, and now that I've actually made it, I gotta say it's incredible to feel SAFE being out and about.

The amount of racist and sexual violence slurs I'd get shouted at me for just walking about was insane.

When I grew up, I heard so many stories about Asian businesses who held grudges, and would hold that grudge even to the absolute detriment of themselves.

ICE doing racist slanted eye taunts won't be forgotten. Parents will talk about this for decades.

My Korean friends living in other countries are so incredibly mad at the US right now. Which means the Koreans living IN Korea will be frothing.

Asian news media is another kind of beast. The US has burned so much goodwill I don't think they understand how badly they've screwed themselves.

I recommend staying with the original (Hunter's) crest in general (did swap to Reaper for hard platforming sections though). The speed of the diagonal pogo and the focus needle allows you to take advantage of small punish windows and absolutely melt bosses/ads in this bloated HP value game.

maddie @maddievivrose.bsky.social · Sep 13

Silksong done. Had a bit of problem with the final boss before I realized, "Wait, I just gotta lock in." And then I beat it.

I should do that more. 🤷‍♀️

Rest of the game is just a few sidequests and collectibles and I'm not a completionist so this is where I leave and wait for Hades 2.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

the difference is if you prefer to use your left pinky for the R, or if you like using thumbs to hit more buttons for the C.

I personally prefer the C, but that's because anything over 12 buttons is built especially for games like Street Fighter, and you won't need that many buttons for 2xko
