For anyone who needs to hear it, the advice to "always do your best" does not necessarily mean "always be the best." Our "best" can change from day to day. Every day is different. Doing your best just means being kind with yourself—knowing what you want and having the courage to go after it.

The name of the Dragon Age setting is Thedas. The name of The Dragon Age Setting is The D.A.S. Don’t lose too much sleep over what you name your make-believe fantasy world.

If I had a nickel for every time Kirsten Dunst starred in a movie centering around a character with otherworldly powers who loses them as a result of burnout/depression, I'd have two nickels, which isn't alot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

people like to say star trek is scifi and star wars is fantasy, but there's at least one way in which star trek is more fantasy than star wars: UI design. star wars at least understands that you don't fly a spaceship with touchscreens and voice commands
