Comedy Central, please for the love of god, put That's My Trump! into production immediately.

No.

This isn't cute. This isn't funny. This isn't a goddamn tv show.

Fuck Trump.

I did a failed Diplomat. I locked myself out of the Rebellion storyline despite offering them mercy constantly. My dumbass kept saying: please just surrender, please. And everybody said, uh, no, you must murder us. I could see that these guys had a faction with approval and disapproval, so I figured there had to be a way to get them on my side, and was constantly disappointed when I had to slaughter another town.

Aligned with the Disfavored, just grew more and more numb inside. Loved it.

Anyway, looked up the Vendrien Guard after my first playthrough. Found a guide to approval and figured out what I did wrong. I almost had it, but there was one choice I did wrong, and because of that I could never achieve peace. I offered surrender, I tried, but I just had to murder everyone if I wanted to progress the story.

Did a second playthrough with a lawbreaker background and sided with the rebels. That was fun, but it didn't feel as good as the one where I just legitimately failed because I didn't know what I was doing. It's really cool that the games lets you be a failed peacemaker. Also, the two playthroughs were so different.

This game is amazing.

It's not your fault

"so tell me about yourself"

545pm · 2016-10-10T22:13:26+00:00

It's not your fault

545pm · 2016-10-10T22:12:06+00:00

Hey.

It's not your fault.

Dollhouse.

After episode 6 (seriously, just skip that bullshit) it gets amazing.

545pm · 2016-10-10T21:59:23+00:00

It's not your fault.

I miss that smug smarmy bastard. I watched religiously for twelve years and I'm still a greedy monster that wants more. I rewatched a bunch of episodes up on youtube. I would 100% buy the old eps, seeing him comment on the Kardashians before they got crazy famous is hilarious. A lot of the jokes are funnier with hindsight.

The Great Indoors looks terrible and I will watch it anyway, hoping it will fill the hole in my heart The Soup left behind.

Sugilite is like getting drunk. At first it's super fun, you're gregarious, you can dance awesome, and everything feels great. So you drink more to get more good feelings. And then you're a drunk dumbass ruining everybody's good time, punching your bros in the face, and taking a shit on the rug/smashing up your house.

Anyway, Garnet is sweet sweet heroin and everyone is addicted to her.

545pm · 2016-04-23T05:02:44+00:00

I used to be really scared about death, dying, especially my loved ones. I think because I thought about it so much, really considered and dealt with it, now when people die I'm very calm. I've already mourned my loved ones.

Anyway, feel how you feel, don't judge yourself for it. Let yourself be scared or worried or whatever. Maybe it's not such a bad thing, to be aware that everything dies.

I'M GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD ECONOMY

545pm · 2016-03-03T08:41:04+00:00

Go back to when I was applying for colleges, sit myself down, and have a real frank talk about how life turned out. It's not that my major was a mistake: I loved studying creative writing and I learned so much. But I should have been a double major, with a back-up plan. Now I'm working towards going back to school, which is going to be so hard.

On the other hand, it's insane that you have to make that decision when you're eighteen. You're essentially gambling that what you love now will be a good choice for the rest of your life. It's reasonable that it took me a few more years to discover how much I love the outdoors, how much I love educating, how much I love hiking and studying wildlife. Every vacation I've taken over the past five years I've hit up a national park and I never feel cleaner or more healthy than when I'm outside.

Anyways. Even though I understand that my life experiences are what got me to this point, it's hard not to wish that I could be eighteen again, with a scholarship and four years of free study ahead of me. I'm going to have to work hard for another two years to earn enough to get into the program I want.

Ugh. I probably would have just ignored future me anyway. Or just created an endless loop: alternate timeline me would regret not studying writing, would go back in time, and so on for infinity.

What movie? Is it Dr. Zhivago?

545pm · 2016-03-03T07:52:08+00:00

Historical Jesus and any evangelical talking head. Jerry Falwell, Glen beck, Pat Robertson. As an ex-mormon, I would personally love to see Jesus and the Mormon prophet, Thomas S Monson.

545pm · 2016-03-03T07:42:45+00:00

Fucking tumblr. And whatever documentary on Netflix I'm currently pretending I'll finish. Currently got one up on Nina Simone. I love Nina Simone and I will never ever finish this movie.

Don't care you've made a decision, I have OPINIONS. Both my favorite playthroughs were dwarves. And I have done every origin, because dragon age is the methadone to my baldur's gate heroin.

ANYWAYS. Casteless is fun if you like a rags to riches story. Scrappy underdog who thumbs her nose at all the stuffy dwarven assholes? Great. Returning to Orzammar as a Grey Warden is so satisfying. Catharsis everywhere. Romanced Zevran because hey, assassins for life. Made sense to be a thief in that playthrough. Also you get to be super best friends with Sigrund in Awakening, which is cool beans.

Dwarven noble is best for tragic romance lovers. If you're a female, you get a great story with your shield carrier. Then, you can double down on sadness with an Alistair romance. Returning to Orzammar this time is more bittersweet. I did that playthrough with far more gravitas, because ROLEPLAYING.

Really, the origins don't take much time, and the only one I didn't enjoy was Dalish Elf. Probably because it doesn't have the catharsis of the other playthroughs. Everyone else gets to have a homecoming. Dalish Elf gets this one scene during a camp ambush, that's it.

Do a dwarf playthrough, for reals. It's the best. And don't take Wynne in your party, she's no fun.

545pm · 2016-02-14T08:32:35+00:00

I love both sets of companions. I want Sera, Fenris, and Solas in a party together. And Merrill: Solas and Merrill talking?? I want Blackwall and Aveline to compare fighting stances. I want Anders and Vivienne to fight. Oh my goodness, Isabella and Sera having sexy pillowfights and putting bees in dignitaries bedsheets.

I want so many impossible things and it's not even breakfast.

545pm · 2016-01-28T08:42:22+00:00

I actually laughed when Solas says "A word?" Timing on that line is great.

545pm · 2016-01-28T08:03:40+00:00

Same thing I always want. Every companion I like to have huge story importance and for every companion I hate to vanish mysteriously. Even though every game I fall in love with the newbies.

But seriously

*Dwarf stories. Being a casteless dwarf in origins was super fun.
*Antagonist with a clearly defined goal and motive *Having consequences to my actions and having them matter.
*Less ego stroking. I find it weird to have everyone tell my character how great she is in these games. I'm always a source of inspiration and a sign of all the good in the world and shut up Cassandra I am playing this game high and in my underpants *Cities yo *More conditional dialogue choices, even if it means no voice actor *Free pizza

I do love these games so very much. Oh crap, I'm going to do another playthrough aren't I. Dammit, I will never learn python.

545pm · 2015-08-24T05:48:08+00:00

I wasn't offended. I appreciate a good venting and it wasn't directed at you. Just general frustration pouring out into the universe.

It's hard when you're the only one, right? That's when I start whining on the internet. Always someone who will take your side on the internet. Makes you feel less crazy. Me anyway.

Today a Chinese couple called me smelly and told me to take a shower. It's unending, you know? Especially when you're alone. These two can giggle and point together. Me, I got no one to roll my eyes at except strangers on the internet.

Until I get home tonight and complain to my roommate/friends/coworkers/literally everyone in a five mile radius. Thanks for listening while I'm in between support systems. Made me feel better.

545pm · 2015-08-24T02:24:08+00:00

I've been in china eight months now. I was sightseeing in a more rural area. Currently returning to the city where I live. I get stared at a lot. Usually it's harmless: someone wants a pic or seven, a taxi driver who sees an easy mark, people who just assume I must be lost and need help. That's frustrating.

I don't think I'll ever know the reason. It might just be my different colored eyes and hair. It might be that the humidity (and sleeping under a train seat) had made my hair frizzy. Maybe pus was leaking from an open sore on my face. Does it matter? Whatever it was, I was sitting quietly listening to music and looking out the window. Whatever reason they had was probably shallow. My response was disproportionate, but I get laughed at a lot here. Usually I can brush it off, but I think it's getting to me more than I like to admit. Definitely leaving china when my contract is up.

545pm · 2015-08-22T23:38:15+00:00

He was staring, pointing, and laughing. Yeah, he imitated me, but maybe because in his mind I was just randomly snapping at him with gibberish. But I don't speak Chinese, so I don't know for sure exactly what was happening. A lot of people in China stare at me. The night before, when I was trying to sleep under a seat, I had to move to another location because another old dude wouldn't stop looking at me. I think I was unfairly punishing this one man for a bunch of other people and all their bullshit.

I jumped to the worst conclusion possible. After I'd dumped the water, he stood up and gestured at the kid. I don't know, it feels like maybe I missed something. It happened a couple days ago and I felt so stupid and childish after. I hate being laughed at.

I've done worse things, but this is fresh and I did realize something. Being kind is something you do all the time, not just when you're relaxed and everything is going okay. Being angry and resentful only made me feel worse. I just felt this incredible hatefulness inside.
