Love the fact that Mouthwashing includes demos that were not meant to be seen by the public, including one that is so buggy it straight-up shuts my computer down when I start moving. More game devs need to let you do this, it's incredibly funny

I got a much-needed haircut FINALLY (and I'm so happy with it) but the layering around my face gives me 90s Teen Boy Middle Part Bangs when I put the rest into a ponytail and it cracks me up. Got me the Billy Loomis fit
