Well, unless he’s insanely strong, he did it with weapons sized for him, or is a master poisoner.

Both are equally impressive achievements for his physical limitations, in that Genghis Khan sorta way.

Well, he looks quite pleased about it. Probably takes a lot for a caterpillar to reach the rank of Emperor.

They creeped me out as a kid. It didn’t help that I had this concept that they were like “evil” butterflies. Child brain hardcore taking my grandmother’s complaining about moths eating clothes and being a nuisance too far.

Absolutely adore them, now. Go ahead and enjoy some lamp, little friend, you’ve earned it.

I wonder if there’s some kind of near-surface pipes they might hear water running through.

Has Phoenix Wright been a documentary about the Japanese legal system this entire time, and we just wrote it off?

Any large enough insect is relatively easy to kill, you just need a Buick.

What’d that European beech call me‽

Vampire Survivors has got me back in its grip. The Ode to Castlevania DLC dropped on Halloween. I really don’t understand where the time goes when I play that game.

Also picked up Webfishing, an absolutely adorable time. I don’t know that I really consider it “playing”, the actual gameplay is pretty basic, but I’ve enjoyed the peaceful nature of it and have had fun just chatting.

This is seriously dating myself, and probably hyper-specific, but it feels more like chatrooms back in the late 90s to early 2000s. Most of the rooms I’ve been in have been relaxed. Having a talk about life while someone strums “Simple and Clean” on a guitar somewhere in the background. A bit of roleplay going on.

The small lobbies, the small map, the chill gameplay, all makes for a cozy, welcoming place. Like you really did just stumble across someone’s campsite, and they invited you to sit.

Safety first, no matter the species. Unless you’re the experiment.

“Your Impostor Syndrome Made Flesh” is for everyone.

Though reactions may vary between mental breakdown and “I’ve wanted to punch my demons since birth”.

Hey, there’s the Tauros Programme! Someone’s trying to breed Aurochs back as close as they can!

Dammit, now I want that and every time a Draugr gets out of a crypt, it plays “FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWOKEN!”

The kraken works in mysterious ways. We must trust in their decisions.

I’m assuming uncomfortably.

Unless someone was into that.

Yes. In fact, I have spent a long portion of my life starting my morning with demands of the release of the kraken.

We’re not learning the lesson fast enough. The kraken will either be another step in our downfall, or we can start feeding people to them until things get better.

"Asbestos was first synthesized by the master magi Mesothelioma. He was looking for a way to slowly poison the local villages without easy detection, and ended up creating one of the most common robe linings found today.

Mesothelioma is remembered long after his passing, though not fondly. If you, or a loved one, has been harmed by the creations of Dark Lord Mesothelioma, Sending us today…"

This is also a problem rehabbers can face! Some patients just don’t want to go, they had the good life and absolutely refuse to wild back up. This is why minimizing direct handling and human socialization as much as possible is a key step.

It’s easy to see why people can think of wild animals like pets when you see them act like that. We all want the same basic thing, in the end. To be comfortable.

Otis Spunkmeyer is the brand. We use the same cookies at my job. The secret is to let them sit for about 20-30 minutes after pulling the dough from the freezer(it’s pre-shaped discs), and only bake them for 10-12 minutes at 350 fahrenheit instead of the recommended 15-16.

EDIT: And to anyone who loves those mini chocolate chip cookies some bakeries carry, Hope’s Country Fresh Cookies. Same thing, let 'em thaw a little and underbake for a soft, chewy cookie.

EDIT: EDIT: Sorry, I’m bored as fuck at work, and realized I can share another trade secret. Got some of these cookies getting near sell-by? They’ve firmed up. Get yourself a jar of buttercreme icing, and an icing bag. Load the bag up, cut a decent sized point out of the tip, and make sandwich cookies. Fuckin’ bomb, buttercreme works best as the filling.

I mean, have you looked at HoI4 lately?

Look, I get it, but the state of DLC in Paradox games has moved beyond even the memes. I think they took those as inspiration. There’s a fucking monthly pass now!

I deeply enjoy their games, but the DLC bloat confounds me.

When it’s done? Fine.

Every time I turn it on, or off, or open the door, or think about using it for a second? No thank you. I don’t need a tune for every action. I can very clearly see that you’re on because the display is on. I know you’re open because I’m standing right the fuck here.
