at work wearing a great big frown that announces loud & clear; I REALLY WISH I WAS AT HOME PLAYING SONIC 3 & KNUCKLES RIGHT NOW

I almost wish it were uglier. At least it would be remarkable

To the untrained eye this is a field of untapped potential, but practically it’s the exact opposite. Someone owns every square inch of this wasteland and they have no intention of doing anything good with it. These are the banned frequencies, the radio static in landscape.

I don’t get into the municipal grey area very often. The sad speckled stretch between cities and their underdeveloped sister townships. It’s a really hideous void. Astonishingly wide expanse of unused yellow brown land. An ugly golf course. A redundant car dealership. A useless billboard

how do people not make themselves look stupid. it’s so hard not to say unfounded shit constantly

i thought Stollery was a generic word for children’s hospital and used it as such, outside Edmonton. not so! very much an Edmonton specific hospital

how do you never make an ass of yourself

My single solid use for ChatGPT is for remembering words or terms that are on the tip of your tongue. Google has always been bad at “word that means X and Y”

I couldn’t remember the term Period Piece the other day and I felt very dumb.

…not really worth the 9999999999$ in electricity though.

I can give bumfuck Alberta insight. my entire family came from the fucking crucible that is rural Alberta

If you wanna go REALLY small, might I suggest the “town” of Warspite?

it just feels like.

But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?

I should've asked my Sonic friends which version to play. I just grabbed the Genesis one and figured I'd play & KNUCKLES after. I didn't realize it's best played together from the get go.

I'm just starting a repeat playthrough with Knuckles now

Mania was my first 2D Sonic game! Mania is pure gold.

I always knew old school Sonic had that 16 bit SEGA magic, and I understand that Mania drew more from 3 than any other game. So instead of playing Klonoa 2 I figured Sonic 3 sounded more fun and productive to crank out at 2 AM. I was right.
