Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.
If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.
Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.
That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.
Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.
god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world
i can't believe terry pratchett created the Community pizza gag back in 1989
I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.
But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:
By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.
Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.
I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.
Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.
Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?
I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.
But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?
How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?
Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.
I do hate kids. I hated them when I was one and I hate them now.
I'm a dedicated hater because so many of them are sociopathic and they need to learn some damn empathy. I once thought adults were too worried to be cruel, turns out growing up means you have to learn how to care.
You make some excellent points, I hate some of those things also. I just don't like unpredictable goblins in my general vicinity. Individuals are fine, but not the group.
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.

The thing is that I would absolutely play a video game about a young witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour’s cat in a small village in the mountains if — and this is extremely important — it was a Discworld point and click adventure game and the cat was Greebo and the process of searching for him unearthed a secret invasion of some kind of malevolent supernatural force in the Ramtops.
I preordered Return to Monkey Island for a personal joke. Turns out I was the joke.
As for Todd Howard, I still don't believe that TES: VI is going to come out before the 10th console generation unless it actually does. Even then, I expect little more than Daggerfall with modern graphics and a 3D game engine.
Still waiting for Elder Scrolls Castles to be compatible with a modern Android device.
GAMING RULE 1: NEVER PREORDER
GAMING RULE 2:
Also: I think Aragorn gets a bad reputation now because so many lesser franchises have tried to imitate his archetype without understanding why he works. In the original movies he’s just a big gentle sad guy with a sword, who knows he’s not the real hero of the story and dedicates himself to supporting those gay little hobbits. The aragorn knockoffs are not his fault
They both work Overtime, even if they appear to be lazy.
they would be good friends and nobody can change my mind
