i’ll get back to you three weeks ago

maybe we should embrace continuity errors

that delta between what needs to happen to improve things somewhat and what is happening

shoutout to those who do what they say they’re going to do within the timeframe they said they were gonna do it

And yes, “gah” remains an entirely appropriate summary.

complete lack of resonance

Lift with your legs

to 98% of the posts i have seen today: oh ffs!

tfw you’ve set everything into motion you can and there’s little left to do except wait and hope the wheels don’t fall off

shoutout to call systems that regularly interrupt the hold music every minute with useless recorded voice announcements to ensure you can't easily tune it out and do something else while you're waiting

we’re all thinking it

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

Here is a nice floor.

you’d think more people using a text-based medium such as this would have decent reading comprehension and yet

remember hope?

a system of politics that isn’t fucking stupid
