He knows it and he did it intentionally, but the people laughing at him are his imagination. He’s projected these thoughts onto them because he feels self-conscious, nobody said a word to him. It’s just as likely the woman was laughing because she’s on the phone, or the man was smirking at something on a podcast he’s got playing.
I realized she was laughing derisively. She was like, “What kind of person would drive something like that?” Or, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something, but I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw. Then today, I was at a four-way stop, and a guy in a Nissan Titan/Toyota Tundra or something smiled and then chuckled like: “What a tool.” Or, who would drive something like that?”
Mate, these thoughts are in your head. My partner has bouts of anxiety where she assumes people are always thinking the worst of her, so I’m hesitant to make fun of the dude because I’ve seen what it can do to someone, but he’s clearly bought a dumbass car to get attention and now he’s feeling insecure about it. It’s sad.
These comics are from the Onion iirc, they’re intentionally shit takes.
The tweet linked in the article is from a dude who bitches about the “uglification of women” in games and Ubisoft being too focused on DEI. The post the article is about is clearly talking about people like him. The fact that there’s only one other comment here calling this out tells me either nobody actually looked into this at all because you’re all too excited to dogpile Ubisoft and don’t even care why, or you agree. Both are worrying.
That’s because people were going on with high expectations, right? I haven’t seen it (yet?) but Morbius and Madame Web both got C+ and I’d be surprised if it’s actually worse than those. Although I’d be more interested if it really is that much of a trainwreck tbh, I liked the first movie well enough but didn’t think it needed a sequel, I was just going to pirate it next time I was bored at work.
That’s a cool idea, thanks. I’ll probably have forgotten all about this by the next time it starts so it should be a nice surprise.
Candle & Crow, book 3 in the Ink & Sigil series by Kevin Hearne came out today, I’m looking forward to getting into it. It’s set in the same world as the Iron Druid Chronicles, but isn’t really related outside of a couple of old characters popping up IIRC. I don’t think I even knew about this until I saw it on a list of upcoming releases last week.
I’m also reading through Swifts and Us by Sarah Gibson, which is a book my gf got for me last Christmas and only just got around to handing over 9 months later. It’s a non-fiction book about my favourite bird, nothing to do with pop singers.
Space Marine 2. It might happen, or it might not. The devs think it could be a good idea but Sony isn’t currently interested and it’s not being worked on. This is like the courier in Skyrim running up to tell you you’ve got no mail.
This isn’t news, we’ve known this for months. There were articles 4 months ago with the devs talking about how these 2 games didn’t meet sales expectations. At least one of them is out on PC now, though I haven’t played yet because it’s only been a day and the download is 140gb.
4, but it was peanut butter and jam.
That’s the book I start leafing through when my D&D players screw around for too long, they know something bad is about to happen.
It’s such a cool book, I love the silver edges on the pages. Not a huge fan of the stories themselves, sadly. Someday I hope they’ll click with me.
On today’s episode of Trump quote or Markov Chain Text…
Don’t forget, Madame Web was this year too.
I’m listening to The Wise Man’s Fear, and my rule is I can only listen while jogging (training for an event in about 5 weeks). It’s working, I’m getting a good 40-50 minutes a day out of it and the workouts are much more tolerable.
I finally managed to get into Breath of the Wild the other night after getting it on launch day and never enjoying it. I played 9 hours solid, then had to go to work for a few days, so I’m looking forward to going home more than usual.
Other than that, there’s the seemingly endless hunt for my last 3 Monster Hunter World achievements (only ~480 hours in, so I’m doing ok). Also, I’ve finally got around to trying Suicide Squad, and I kinda dig it so far. Just gotta clear my plate a bit for the PC release of FF16 in a few weeks, but I can almost guarantee I’ll be too stuck into either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom to play it.
I didn’t know they were doing videos, that’s interesting. When podcasts do that, I always go for the audio option so I can listen while I’m working, but I might check out a few episodes on video.
She’s an anti-hero more often than not now, fighting villains bigger than her. From the New 52 when she started going solo and turned on Joker (or he turned on her really), to Injustice where she was a major player in the resistance, to the DCEU where she turned against ARGUS to stop Starro which wasn’t even her mission. Even in the Suicide Squad game which is part of the Arkham universe and doesn’t include any kind of redemption arc for her she’s still only killing the Justice League when they’re being controlled by Brainiac, who is probably second only to Darkseid as far as villains go. Under duress sure, but she’s doing it.
See also: Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy respectively.
I just looked it up because I never played the 2nd game and never cared enough to look into it. I knew people hated her but just assumed she was probably trans or something based on her physique. Not sure whether the real reason is better or worse tbh, it’s pathetic.
That’s good, but what exactly is the cutoff line? Tucker toured with fuckin Clive Palmer just a few months ago, and I’d take Owens over him any day.
