It's not unexpected, but it is funny seeing Americans jump onto comments about how Gavin shouldn't be president. But I mean, we're talking about elections that are happening in a couple weeks and theirs are in uhhh, 3 years, so I mean yeah of course you confuse the two of those.

Given my country has literally the worst trans healthcare in the European Union and I've never been satisfied with my treatment at any clinic I've been to, I shouldn't be surprised how poor it is. Yet nevertheless

Still thinking of that clocky dark haired tgirl I saw sitting opposite me at the bar, wearing my exact outfit and also drinking a cider. Was staring whenever I looked, but she sure was pretty.

Sony really missing the opportunity to release a new Siren game set in New England.

Man, if only all shitty landlords in Irish Politics had to withdraw from their campaigns like this. Socialist government in no time.

Feel like I always come away from concerts like "It's fun to experience music together in the shared atmosphere of a crowd 😀." Just the most basic ass why concerts are good statement. But man was at Refused tonight and crowd exploded during New Noise. It was fun.

Love this inclusion in the Faith/Buffy body swap episode.

Illithid Tadpole tonight, Queen?

My quest to find out "What is a Tommyknocker?" has had one character go on a shockingly productive blackout where she writes an entire novel. Ah, okay, so Tommyknockers are cocaine. Like when Stephen King was doing all that cocaine. Well, that answers that question I guess.

God, Riley* is the worst why does anyone like him**? *Riley, the regular from Season 4 of Buffy who is the titular character's boyfriend as opposed to I Riley. **Riley the fictional character from Buffy uses he/him unlike your beloved they/she Riley

Getting home to find out weather has once again knocked out the internet. Ah, joys of rural living.

Had to leave the hive mind because they were treating it like an indiscriminate overwhelming all consuming swarm and not a bond between the deepest parts of all. Like, you want to induct a Tory to the hive mind? "Oh, we can fix him." Listen to yourselves!

In the 90s FPS characters could either say nothing or lines from Army of Darkness. Echolalia is an important part of early language development, they hadn't learnt how to say other things yet.

Yakuza mod to change everyone's back tattoo to the appropriate Pokemon.

Barry: "Jill, you're here too." Jill: "Yes, you're here too." PS1 Resident Evil 1 script is solid gold. Hadn't played it in like a decade because I'd play REmake instead. Which I still prefer, but happy for the revisit.

There's a local pub that every time I am in it, everyone there, myself included, are caught up watching a show about a crime solving Canadian dog. Makes a big change from football or horse races.

Every line in PS1 Resident Evil 1 is precious. But I really like Barry asking Jill to help search the entrance for Wesker, a room that is wide open without furniture which you can see clear across.

Somebody knocked over bins and set them on fire at work. Which yeah annoying, would prefer they do vandalism that isn't my job to fix But more just not sure what joy is had in setting rubbish aflame anyway, it smells, I could see you got barely any flame going at all. Seems crap

Games to consider playing in October: -Blood -Bloodborne -Blood West -Bloodrayne -Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines 2 -Bloodthief -Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Had to check because ended up wondering if they released Hades 2 from Early Access on 23rd of September what with the bisexuality. But nah, 25th.

Following through on recommendations feels so arbitrary. I like getting them. But I've had multiple people recommend things for years, forever in "Eh, probably, eventually." But other day my brother and I found his copy of The Tommyknockers, tells me to read it so I just start.

I am keeping my mindscape as a pristine realm of classic Deus Ex 1 visuals. I will not be updating to reflect the upcoming remaster.

"Why am I seeing blue women lately?" Well, you see it all started after the Battle of Red Mountain when the Chimer King of Resdayn Nerevar was slain by his companions who sought to achieve godhood. For this, Azura turned the golden skin of the Chimer grey/blue and their eyes red

Been extremely into this combat heavy playthrough of Age of Decadence and realising I'd probably like Dungeon Rats, the Icewind Dale/Fallout Tactics style spinoff it has.

Look, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael just aren't used to acting to prevent people drowning in the mediterranean or saying militant organisations entering parliament following a peace process is good. But give them time, in a few decades they'll say they were always against this.

My hungry ass would reach out, take from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.

Playing Age of Decadence as a mercenary combat character and this is the third person in the starting town I was hired to protect who got killed while I was on the job. My prospects as a bodyguard aren't looking great. Hired goon has legs though.

socially genderfluid, economically trans woman

Always weird in troubleshooting figuring out what is causing the problem, how to avoid causing the problem but being left with no idea why it is causing the problem.

You can pet cats and they like it. What a world, what a world.

Fight in Colony Ship: First Turn, enemy captain has higher initiative She throws emp grenade stunning entire party and disabling shields Takes combat stim to increase AP and accuracy Downs party leader in 1 smg burst The game is class, had a great time.

There's a medium possibility there'll be a statue of Kirk featuring a fake AI quote because they just asked for a list of quotes and didn't want to use any of them he actually said.

I hate how pleasing trans people is framed as this impossible ask, we just want so much, can never be satisfied. When the bar to clear for acceptable is so goddamn low. Adopt anti-discrimination protections, self declared GRC and Free HRT from your GP and you're basically there

Parts of The Long Walk still replaying in my head morning after. What an excellent theatre experience, no relief, no pausing, no checking anything else just constantly gruelling pressure and dread you're stuck in with the characters. Liked it way more than I expected.

The Long Walk was gruelling and felt way longer than it is (positive)

Post for Mr New Name and Ms Deadname.

Wish some people could learn to describe the state of America without prefacing their descriptions with "becoming" "is on the road to" "approaching" or "barrelling towards." It isn't any of those things, it just is.

Following the censure of Jimmy Kimmel, the regime has elevated James Cordon to the rank of Jimmy.

Great reveal in Buffy is finding out Anya doesn't miss social cues and is overly blunt in speech because she was a demon out of step with humanity, she's just always been like that.

Going try and start difficulty discourse from the other side by buying cozy game du jour, saying it's too easy so they should add harder difficulty settings so I can play that way and still not like it.

Just saw Homer Simpson disparaging The Nobel Prize as a load of crap because they gave it to Kissinger.

Do you think homo sapiens were like elves to other hominids? Grog meet person with inneanderthally beautiful features, limber with so little hair. Grog in love.

If co-workers have compared you to Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory you may be entitled to compensation.

At the doctors and hoping one day radio will realise they don't need to read out every thing some racist gobshite texts in.

Do hate when a transfem thinks "Oh transfem I can be transmisogynistic to" for whatever reason it ends up being, that's your sister, cut it out.

Colony Ship is an experience of me going to more and more parts of the ship, seeing how scavengers have repurposed stuff and thinking "Uh oh, we needed that for landing on the planet. 🙁"

Sorry, I only said that because it's true and I believe it.

Writing up a joke post of "Always referring to myself as a Ludophile to avoid association with The Gamers" but thinking well I mean, Ludophile does actually imply more of an interaction with the medium as art and dissection of art than the mainstream consumer identity of Gamer.

The Helldivers reference the shooter made has conservatives in a dilemma between blaming video games rather than something real and not saying it to avoid alienating The Gamers.
