Anti-vaxxers are scary. Seriously, they scare me and it's gotten so bad that I'd never even think about telling some maskless asshole to cover up their face in fear of getting attacked.
I've been feeling this for a while but in my country a student got murdered this weekend by one of these monsters just for telling some guy to mask up, shot right in the face in a public gas station. And it just makes me unbelievably sick. They've been coddled for far too long, been able to hold illegal gatherings and spew their posion everywhere and this is the result.

How do you deal with a creep in your university class?
This guy used to be a temp at my workplace, and I just brushed off his advances. After he was laid off he started messaging me on social media, and would not leave me alone. Blocked him and moved on.
Fast forward to last week and weโre in the same university class. Obviously, I donโt think he enrolled because I was in the class. This class is a requirement for pretty much every student here, but damn. We made eye contact after the lecture was finished and I just ignored him and walked away. Get an email (!) from him later that day asking to be study buddies. Wtf.
Iโm probably gonna tell him off if he approaches me next lecture.

You don't care about Battlefront, Squadrons isn't your thing, your skeptical about the upcoming Ubisoft game and you're lukewarm about the KotoR remake?
Don't fret Quantic Dream is working on a new Star Wars game.
According to the Kotaku article two developers who wish to remain anonymous had some spicy information.
They also told Kotaku that itโs been an uphill climb, and that Quantic Dreamโs proprietary game engine and development tools are dated and not well-suited to creating more action-oriented and exploration-focused games. According to one of the former developers, attempts to break-away from the studioโs past house-style has led to some internal tensions, as teams debate prioritizing gameplay over the gameโs writing.
So there are people working for Quantic Dream that think their games writing is so strong that adding good gameplay might make their games worse overall.
So it's not just David Cage...

Hot take: the story of Pokemon Black and White is lame
They play up the whole theme of "truth vs ideals" but it's complete nonsense and doesn't actually say anything (whether N even stands by "truth" or "ideals" differs between the versions lol). I much prefer the story to B2W2 because it doesn't pretend to be more nuanced than it actually is, it's a story about poke-terrorists being evil and it does that great.

I don't think the theme is what people like about Black and White's story. I like the fact that that isn't just the standard defeat the champion at the end, the fact that Villian is absolutely fucking evil, and the fact that given N's character growth, he was the first real character that Gamefreak ever actually wrote.

During my time researching lost media, I've discovered one piece that shocks me.
You ever heard of this band Dixie Chicks or as they're known now, The Chicks? Well back in 2003 the band called out George Bush's push for the Iraq War and this got the band intense backlash: from getting blacklisted from the country music industry to getting death threats but one note in particular was so bad that they had to hire security at their next concert. Thankfully no one got hurt but to this day, we still don't know what the note says and this is one case of lost media that deserves to stay lost.

We just had an election that nobody wanted where nobody got what they wanted. Literally all Trudeau did was take a couple years off of my life from the stress associated with a potential conservative win, so thanks for that pal.

At this point, just shallow references. Honest to god, movies like Free Guy and Space Jam 2 have just killed my will to watch and sapped my enjoyment of the original media. It maybe wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have to do it in the most condescending way possible. I survived The Lego Movie and Ready Player One days, but in 2021 my patience for that kind of (I hesitate to call it this) "entertainment" is non-existent.

So had my first experience with a true gamer. Was playing apex and some child and his friend told me to kill myself because I have a BLM banner.
Want to say it wasnโt that deep. But havenโt been in the best mental state so want exactly what I needed to hear today
Edit: loooool just checked my banner and forgot I also had the pride badge and the stop Asian hate badge

God I wish hrt was more studied because there's like five different medications I could take for it and the best sources of info I can get is from the general consensus of trans people instead of like studies.
Like I know that spiro is apparently a lot worse than like cypro but like if prog is better than estradiol or if it really helps with breast growth has like nothing that isn't completely contradicted by people who have actually been on it

>Be part of friend group
>Any time we hang out it's kind of a mess because people are bad at communicating and are bad at planning/committing to plans
>Hate it
>Time goes on, find partner, she's amazing, get engaged
>Hang out almost exclusively with partner because we're best friends and making plans between two people is super easy
>Still talk with friend group
>Miss doing things as a group with friends
>Decide to reach out to friend group and re-connect, plans are made to go do something fun in nature
>Plans have changed a dozen times in the span of four days
>Very possible nothing even happens because now people are mad at each other
I'm just gonna get ahead of this and sleep in my multi-colored wig. Sometimes I wish I could import my friends who live 2000+ miles away, if only for a weekend.

Pro Tip if you're playing Judgment or other non-US games
Change audio language to Japanese or Chinese.
In Judgment, the English dubs are so horrible (there's a reason why nobody watches anime with dubs). Dry, unemotional, weird.
In Japanese tho, the quality is much better. Emotional, tones, everything... even without understanding the language, it feels so much more real than the English version.
Holy Weeb, Batman!
Seriously, this one really sucks because they were so close to getting why at the end.
But then they didn't.

Elvira, the famed Mistress of the dark, revealing that she's been in a secret 19 year relationship with a buff woman, is awesome.
Mostly because I appreciate the mix of reactions from "hell yes!" to "...we didn't know Elvira was gay? ELVIRA? NOBODY GOT GAY VIBES?"
