Joking aside, the Millennium Falcon is not the space fantasy equivalent of a busted-ass old panel van.
The Millennium Falcon is the space fantasy equivalent of a busted-ass old panel van that’s inexplicably been hot-rodded to have a top speed of 300 miles per hour, which is substantially funnier.
The greatest tragedy of Among Us is making friends and then accidentally disconnecting before you get to say goodbye
I just… I wound up hosting for a bit, and a player by the name “Dad of 3” came in to join my game
He was… well. Clueless is an understatement. When I say he has no idea what was going on, I mean the second round he was in he SLAMMED the alarm button and said “my screen said imposter what does that mean”
“It means you’re the bad guy this time, dad,” We explained. “But next time try and keep it secret, okay?”
“Okay”
The next round, he killed another player right in front of me and immediately self-reported.
“I got my first kill,” he said.
“Good job, dad!” we all replied. “You’re getting it”
He was so proud, next round, when he helped us catch the killer. And we were proud for him. He was trying so hard.
His kids showed him the game, he said — “Look dad a meme” — so he was playing it for them.
“What’s sus” he had to ask. “Is it inappropriate?” “No dad. It’s short for suspicious, because suspicious is a lot to type.” “What’s gg?” “It means good game” “ok. Thank u. gg”
Two rounds later, he slammed the alarm again. “My map looks different,” he said. “There are buttons on it”
“That means you’re the bad guy again, dad. You push them to sabotage us. Try it out”
We spent that round watching Dad of 3 gleefully pop in and out of vents at random and press all the buttons just to see what they did
“Have you killed anyone yet dad?” “No. It feels strange.” “It’s okay. It’s just a game. You can kill us if you want to practice.”
He was trying so hard. I don’t know if he’d ever even played a video game before, but he was trying so hard to understand this thing his kids enjoyed, and my little group of strangers was doing our best to help him get there.
I’m so proud of that random father’s effort, and I’m proud of all the other players who were so willing to help him learn.
Then out of nowhere he was gone. Mid-round, Dad of 3 vanished to a bad connection, and I’m legitimately sad. I’d hoped we’d get the chance to play a round for real, and I’d have liked the chance to wish him luck and say goodbye.
But since I can’t do that, I’m throwing this into the void: I hope you have a nice time, Dad of 3, and I hope we were able to help you learn so you can have fun with your kids.
A bit of trivia: A lot of people don’t understand what it means to “Count sheep” to sleep. In reality it’s an Insomnia treatment method where you pick a random topic where there might be several examples that fit the criteria “Disney witches” for example or “Films that feature Dracula as a character.” It can be anything at all. "Movies with Danny Elfman musical scores.“ You don’t Google the answer. You lay there and try to think of things that fit the topic you chose and count them. That’s how you really “Count Sheep.”
Fun fact from personal experience this also helps in fighting panic attacks.
Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night stricken with terror spiraling into Bad Thought Loops my boyfriend and I pick a topic like “foods that start with the letter M” and go name them until I can safely be alone with my thoughts again.
Shit like that is really good for keeping your mind busy and rerouting unwanted thoughts.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
reblog if attacking fascism is really the hill you want to die on
this is literally like one of the most justified and honorable hills you could die on??? lol??
Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai
Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward
(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)
Wait but also, until then, if anyone under the age of majority is challenged
Zuko fights it for them.
Which, especially in more rural towns (where Agni Kais are less of a public event and more of a fast and violent duel) is terrifying because you challenge your neighbor’s kid over a stolen chicken-fish and all of a sudden the Fire Lord is showing up???
But, those few who still challenge those who should be kids learn quickly to regret it.
Okay but this implies that Zuko knows whenever someone challenges a kid to an Agni Kai and is there before the battle takes place.
Firelord Zuko: *wakes up in a cold sweat near midnight*
Firelord Zuko: *running down the palace hallways while still struggling to put in his pants, being chased by his team of bodyguards* I’M GOING TO HING WA ISLAND TO KICK SOMEBODY’S ASS SEE YOU IN A WEEK BITCHES
Random spirit: Why’d you do that to him? Isn’t it kind of a stretch for a mortal to be blessed like that?
So much respect,even the silly crocs match the outfit
yes true: platforms like that reduce your sense of pressure and how quickly you can shift pedals! it’s even better to drive in socks or barefoot (check your local laws, this is illegal some places)
