also been playing valheim and enjoying it deeply

it is a special thing to me now I think

it's a very nice mix of an action game and a base builder and as it turns out that is something I am very often in the mood for

have a good screenshot I took a few days ago

alright time for bed

take my Favorite Tumblr Post because I can't qrt or I'll burst (conditional)
A tumblr post by lesbiandarvey. It reads "I don't know if this is gonna make sense to anyone, but something about the entirety of Bruce's catalogue after 1975 has been a response to born to run. (the song)(but also the album re:thunder rd/10th ave etc) born to run is about this optimism yknow, were gonna get in the car and go, I wanna know if love is real, even there's a naivete, you get out, your life is gonna work if you just Go, and yet everything since - darkness, the river, nebraska, born in the usa - is the reality of what happens next. What happens when things don't work out. The car is a prison, you're racing the street, you're born in a dead man's town, there is no getting out. Like think of independence day, he's leaving his father, he's leaving this town, but there's still no getting out from the circumstances of his birth. And yet. Still. he ends the broadway setlist with born to run. The last thing his audience hears is this enormous broadway jukebox musical performance of his 50 years of songwriting is him giving them the benediction and singing born to run. meaning born to run still goes unchallenged! The promise is still there! The optimism and hope of born to run is the last thing he wants you to hear!

a pair of bloodshot eyes takes up the bottom half of the image, and the top half of the image says "You figured it out", while a pixel art man does a jolly dance.

love the big hat, man
a cloaked figure with purple skin and green eyes with no pupils, wearing an enormous red and black hat with ornate patterns on it

Two runescape characters are standing next to each other. The one on the right is holding a scimitar, and the one on the left is facing away from him. The closed captioning text at the bottom says "Maybe we need to kill them..."

"Treachery of the common n. the fear that everyone around the world is pretty much the same-that despite our local quirks, we were all mass-produced in the same factory, built outward from the same generic homunculus, preinstalled with the same tribal compulsions and character defects-which would leave you out of options if you ever want to reinvent yourself, or seek out a better society on the other side of the glob. A riff on the Tragedy of the commons, which is a situation where individual users acting in their own self-interest end up harming the common good, usually by depletion or pollution of resources."

hahahahahah what the fuck
a screenshot of my activity feed that says... Trending Topics - Brasil liked your post it does get drowned out by the generic white boys in an armed and locked down heavy duty cell (and honestly like, yeah, I get it) but the actual plot and story behind it, along with the escaped form is just fantastic
