Honest to god, if you're gonna be weird over fictional characters to the point of treating them like they're real and subsequently demonizing people for creating fictional characters you personally dislike/have distaste for, then the problem is you and not the other person.

Rent lowering shot.

If you care more about a fictional character(s) than an in real life person, then there’s something really wrong with you and I hope you seek out help.

You must be very privileged to not give a damn about what’s going on in our world today.

Do better.

I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.

She is (quite literally) Mother.

This also means the other LB5 Olympian gods have a chance finally. Give me Zeus!!

A friend: “is Andromeda any good to roll for?”

Me and Saels: “no. She’s very underpowered.”

FGO, the literal second afterwards when I’m trying to get event CEs from the Valentine’s Banner:

“HEARD YOU WERE TALKING SHIT.”

WELL OKAY THEN.

TOO BAD I HAVE ZERO MATERIALS TO ASCEND AND SKILL YOUR ASS UP WITH????

FGO NA what are you *doing*.

The game itself isn’t bad but holy shit it’s an AWFUL ending to the Zero Escape series.

Our landlord has given us 3 days to come up with $1000 or face eviction. I really hate doing this at the beginning of the year but if you have it in your heart to assist, anything helps, please

Paranormasight was probably the only good reveal from the Direct for me.

Orbitals looks amazing but they announced it at the Game Awards already so it wasn’t a surprise.

Also your big announcement was to have Todd Howard’s big ass forehead tell me we’re getting decade old games on Switch 2? Boo!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just occurred to me that I don't think I ever posted this great piece I had done by @drgriswald.bsky.social for the #ResidentEvil playthrough I did with @rookuri.bsky.social

Definitely one of my biggest highlights of last year!

I really really need people to stop using SFW/NSFW to just mean “does or doesn’t contain full frontal nudity”.

Not Safe For Work applies to a LOT OF THINGS beyond full blown nudity.

Like yes, your character showing off their titties or butt or pubic hair is still NSFW. Even with male characters!

It has taken me way longer than I wanted to admit to but I finally collected the last 2 trophies in Blue Prince today and completed the Trophy Room.

I had put off doing the Drafting Sweepstakes trophy because it felt daunting, but with some REALLY good set up and an amazing run -- I finally did it!

Its crazy to look back at this from the start of 2020 and then see my account now in comparison.

This was my entire collection of SSRs and SRs from FGO after about 3 months of playing. Hell, most of them weren't even fully ascended yet because I hadn't even finished the first arc of the story!

Seeing people (predominantly players of action exploration gachas like WuWa and Genshin) say that Arknights Endfield’s devs should scrap the Factory gameplay (like ZZZ scrapped the TV mode) because it’s “boring”

And I’m like, my siblings in Originium, that is 90% of Endfield’s gameplay.

On the last day of Pope Joan’s banner, I managed to get her off a paid single!
