I Need UK Journalists To Not Show 43 degrees Is Not Beach Weather Like People Are Gonna Die

A very important headcanon i have somehow neglected to share on here...

I gotta ask: did Johnny C get into the polls?

... maychance.

🚨 Did you know you can call for ceasefire in Gaza by calling in sick this upcoming Monday?

Esral Shikh has organised a worldwide campaign to call for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. Here are the details:

Total Strike on Monday, 11 Dec 2023.

It is necessary to paralyse the movement of life and the economic wheel in all countries so everyone feels directly affected by the genocide happening in Gaza.

Start making communications, spreading the word, mobilise your communities.

This strike includes transportation, aviation, trade, banks, ports, and even schools and universities.

Here’s how you can join the strike:

Don't buy anything (cash or online)

Don't use your bank account, and don't make any transaction

Don't leave your house

Deactivate your Facebook accounts (you can reactivate them later)—please make sure to follow the palestinians on other social media platforms to keep updated on their posts

Leave 1-star reviews on Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook on your app store and play store.

Tweet using the hashtag #StrikeForGaza

[For US citizens] sign your strike card as well

Do all these things together for maximum pressure

We are protesting but our protests are going largely unnoticed by the people in power, so we need to increase pressure.

Stop all operations on a working day, let the world feel even a fraction of what it’s like to have your life put on hold. It’s only a day. We can do this. If we mobilise and get people together who support this cause, we can make this happen.

17,400+ people have been killed. 7,000+ of which are children. 1.9M people have been displaced. Please. You owe it to them to speak up. Please stop this. Please call for permanent ceasefire.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!

It is short notice for some places, I apologise for that. These posts only just started circulating and showing up. Regardless, doesn’t hurt to try.

hello everyone, today should be a national holiday

Due to some corporate bullshit at my current job they’re scheduling all the front desk employees for the minimal time possible and next week i only have literally 6 hours scheduled the whole week.

This is not acceptable because i have bills to pay and i cant survive off $72. Nobody can.

So here we go again. Time to advertise the hell out of my comms so I can fucking survive I guess!

If you see this you are obligated to reblog. Not even a guilt trip, but I’m already having a hard enough time as it is and last thing I need is 40 likes and 5 reblogs, 3 of which are all from me. Likes do nothing to change my situation.

Thanks, and hopefully i find a better fucking job because this is bullshit.

Having spotify have the discord media display my **ungodly** amount of podcasts I listen to daily is like showing the world my diary of horrific thoughts

MI 1 + 2: Really just the first special edition I would love to just tweak. The art direction and some of the redesigns just have me preferring the older style compared to the new and improve version. And I feel even some of the most simple of movements are not very appealing to watch. (watching Guybrush use the rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle was not as satisfying as the original). Though I’d also say that trying to barter with Stan was kinda a hassle to me. Also give the voice lines and background ambience noises included in the original for the special edition. Please please please god please. I don’t think I have any gripes with Lechuck’s Revenge. These two games were great and it kept my attention and got me interested in the monkey island series, they’re great games and great introductions to games like them.

COMI: The more cartoony style done for the Curse was great and made it feel like a wonderful visually-interactive pirate adventure :). But, I do realize I wish we could have gotten a little more Elaine action and more of her involvement other than Guybrush having to save her. And also have a little more bonding time between Guy and Elaine towards the end. Without it, it makes the ending feel so rushed like, “I’ve saved you. Now I’m married to you.” It would have been nice to have a little back and forth banter between the bride and groom to be. Maybe a little more dialogue like when Guybrush proposed (and maybe have him try to sing and the barbers shut him up for something idk). Having that would make the ending a little less rushed than before

EMI: Oh dear. Really wasn’t a big fame of controls. Arrow keys and function keys were not fun to navigate with or for any item collecting. They were a pain.

The humor was kinda hit or miss depending on the joke or maybe a little reference towards a topical joke at the time. It kinda made me want to skip the dialogue sometimes, even though most of the dialogue is so fitting and great.

MORE GUYBRUSH AND ELAINE AS A HAPPY MARRIED COUPLE MOMENTS. Please please please. Playing Curse and then directly going into Escape feels like their relationship is now kinda on the rocks compared to the ending of Curse, where they seem very much happy and content with each other. Would want to have more cute plunder bunny moments for the soul.

and speaking of guybrush. I’m all for that goofy deep voice guybrush pulls off but it feels weird to have a happily married man and seeing him casually flirt with some of the other characters. Please more plunderbunny.

The randomization of certain tasks did lessen my enjoyment of the game. It made me go, “How the hell was I supposed to figure that out?” instead of making me feel proud to have understood the rules of the puzzle. Like the sushi boats, prosthetic order dial, and Boulder throwing.

Just a big no on the monkey kombat or at least modify it to instead do monkey noises you learn Australian slang to defeat Ozzy Mandrill. Just fix it to get rid of the tedium.

Could have gone through the series without the monkey head being a giant fighting robot and instead maybe just defeating Ozzy but then have him possessed but Lechuck to give him a role in the final battle. Also just put a big giant ‘x’ over the whole Charles L Charles thing, It didn’t make much sense to me. Just straight up Lechuck would be fun.

TOMI: Tales is great, there really isn’t Mapuche i have. The game is great and a nice neat story that combined a lot of what people love about the series. The characters, dialogue, humor, etc. All of that was there and combined to give us such an enjoyable game to a lot of people. I would like to change the controls on Tales but it’s mostly just for inspecting items and combining them for tasks. Maybe have it be like Curse and just drag it from one part to another part of your inventory. Also sometimes using the music to drag Guybrush along was a little uncomfortable. But really don’t think I have much to say other than more plunderbunny. I really don’t think you could have too much of that. You know?

Day Three: Something You Would Change

Monkey Island isn’t without its fair of flaws. Whether glaring issues or something small and trivial, there’s that one thing that if it were up to you, you would change. So pretend for a moment, you have that ability: What would be something in the series you would change?

every time you see a headline like this

I want you to remember these ones

uhhhhhhhh
