A guy on instagram said he didn’t care what I had between my legs, he was happy to have lost his leg in Iraq to keep a beautiful woman like me safe
Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

In 2025 IP fully conquered the theme park
Preexisting IP has always been a part of the American theme park, but the scales have tipped fully in its favor.

yeah i think this is where i’m at. it can’t be good for you to exclusively post about stuff that pisses you off, no matter how important it might be
On the other hand, it feels nice to say something negative about AI and not feel insane over the responses. But I've also been thinking about this, because talking about AI just makes me depressed/anxious lol

my only post-spoiler embargo FFXIV post is my reaction to this line was "girl they barely started before we spent over a full year in cyber town"

#ffxiv also my vendetta against dancers is basically "everyone told new people it's the easy 'press the glowing buttons' job back in Shadowbringers and half the playerbase took that literally and we're still feeling the effects of it"
every devilment cast before technical step is my bane

#ffxiv the problem with my vendetta against dancers in this game is that other people have noticed the same thing, so if i make one mistake when progging as a dancer, the "nice" people start talking to me like i'm 8 years old because, and i cannot blame them tbh, i am playing dancer

I can't even begin to list the things I've gained from NiGHTS. But I'm still working on a few more dreams I've yet to achieve. Because of NiGHTS I started my own original comic series- Engelbaum, that I've been working on full time since 2013. I'm working to get it published.

I love the old 1996 SEGA Saturn game NiGHTS into Dreams. It arrived at a time when I needed it the most and filled my life with beautiful positive things. It was a game about believing in yourself and not having to follow orders. Little me became very attached to that mindset. I chased my dreams.
Hating things is for chumps. Tell me about what you LOVE. And why. And what it means to you. I love hearing about people's passions. I don't give a good gotdamn about what you hate. 🖤

I have still not been paid the large amount I’m owed from work. It is supposed to come soon. In the meantime I am trying to come up with a few hundred dollars for bills and food. If you can help me out I can pay you back when money arrives. Thank you. Sorry.
