Writing: Kleinhoff, a mundane sci-fi thriller that asks: What's stronger, the power of friendship or a very pissed former slave with a shotgun?

Editing: Pantheon, a sci-fi fantasy comedy about the design of a new society being left to the worst people imaginable. Fuckery ensues.
I wonder how much Stephen King makes from movies based on his works. Does he get annoyed when they stray from the source material?

I’m writing a small story about a world of anthro characters. I have a character who has a great memory and hoards knowledge, not sure if making him an elephant or an owl is more thematic to his persona.

I’m finally playing through Life is Strange: Double Exposure and did the writing get worse? I didn’t think that was plausible. This isn’t even the same original studio. The old guys did Remember Me. Do you know how hard it is to be worse than Remember Me?

I went to Waffle House for the first time in memory and I gotta say, I didn’t expect such a mid experience. Not great, not bad. Anti-climactic.

The Legend of Hei 2(9/10) is getting an award for “Most Simultaneously Simple and Complex #Plot”. I’ve never seen a movie take a more scenic route to get to “And then the good guys, who were always good, fight the bad guys and win the fight, saving the world”.

I like #advertised products not based on if the product looks good, but if the ad lets me skip it with ease. Like, they’re still microtransaction-laden mobile games, but I’ll still give a recommendation for Toon Blast or Clash Royale. “They’re not the worst!”

The British tone can be naturally condescending, but it seems twice as biting when it’s the Downton Abbey characters speaking about filmgoing etiquette in the previews of a #Bollywood movie. I was almost expecting a “you backwards savages” to bookend the PSA.

Question: how much would you (consistently) spend on #car repairs in a year before you felt it better to go buy another car? I feel like a new car would cost $5K a year anyway, so that’s where my limit is, but I get the vibe from family that that’s a crazy way to look at it.

I wish we had “Hall passes” for #fighting. Like, every five years, you can update a list of three people you’re legally allowed to throw hands with. On-sight, pending no incurred danger of any nearby people (like, you can’t fight your airplane pilot pre-flight).

#Movie idea: “The Box” for Republicans. Pressing the button gives you a million dollars but randomly, someone else ALSO gets a million dollars. Can a Kansas couple come to terms with potentially helping someone, even if they’re Chinese or disabled?

Do the rest of y’all boof #protein? Trying to lose weight, but I’d need to eat minimum 250g of protein and maximum 2500 Cals per day. That’s a 1:10 protein:calorie ratio. That’s like exclusively grilled chicken, canned tuna, and chalky-ass yogurt.

As a punk bitch leftist, I can’t stress how cool #taxes are. I can order drugs in the mail from an absolute stranger, and my taxes fund multiple institutions and regulations to make sure virtually nothing goes wrong with that transaction.

I hate when something’s clearly engagement #bait so I don’t respond to encourage it, but it’s asking a fun question. Why are you attaching this superhero discussion to data phishing?

My weird superpower: With about 90% accuracy over 20 years, I’ve managed to pick/main a bottom three character, tierlist-wise, in every #fighting game I’ve played. The only exceptions that I can remember are Ivy, Vanessa Lewis, and Fat Princess.

The best part about being a #pessimist is that I love to be proven wrong. The worst part is how infrequently that happens.

New conspiracy theory: He didn’t run to avoid criminal charges, but to get to get access to the same healthcare that kept him alive during the early days of the #Covid pandemic without going bankrupt.

I’ve always assumed “The Kids will be alright” even if I didn’t understand everything going on with newer generations. Then I tried a Steal the #Brainrot game in Fortnite. Nah, the kids are fucked.

When you set an item down, do you hallucinate the Final Destination scenario that links this one insignificant action to your impending death, or are you #normal?

What’s the #vegan version of “My steak is too juicy, my lobster too buttery”?

#WritersCoffeeClub 30 August. Have you ever written as a commission? If not, would you?

No - and I guess it would depend on the circumstances.

If you ever meet a genie, the best first wish is “I wish for the genie’s freedom, only after he grants me my other two wishes exactly as I imagine them.”

I understand that Gal Gadot is a bad actor, but does anyone have a supercut of what her lines are SUPPOSED to sound like? Her delivery is like shit stains in carpeting, I can’t fully remove it from the material.

Im not a full-on atheist, but I lost most of my faith in God when my eighth grade prayers for a calculator didn’t bear fruit. I didn’t even want a new one, I just wanted to find the one I lost. Like, it was for my education. You couldn’t help me find a fucking calculator, bitch?

I can’t do it at the drop of a hat, but mentally processing the tragedy of Alister Azimuth from the Ratchet and Clank series is the only way I know how to cry on command. Like, it cannot be understated how validated his crashout was.

While I’m a gooner with questionable taste, I find it baffling that the typical censorship move is to limit body types and cover cleavage rather than stop making women wear high heels in combat. Women can’t choose to leave their titties at home, why curate THAT of all things?
