This is your periodic reminder that you are worthy, and that you are loved. Even if you don't feel it right now.

Poem, remembering the lost 

Memories.... miss you, dude. Fifteen years now and the hole in the world you left is so much smaller, but it's still there.

"I met a man
(I know him still)
But he and I,
We may no longer meet."

What? Someone making a shitpost on a Friday? It hardly seems likely, does it. Especially a shitpost about making a shitpost, that's entirely too self-referential for the end of the week.

re: Random thought debris about pirates, treasure, and fundamental misunderstandings 

The entire idea of "buried pirate treasure" appears to have been invented whole cloth by Robert Louis Stevenson, for Treasure Island. Damn if it isn't a compelling idea for an adventure story, but it really does have a certain mindset behind it, doesn't it.

Random thought debris about pirates, treasure, and fundamental misunderstandings 

The idea of buried pirate treasure belonging to a single captain is completely WILD. Pirate crews distributed treasure evenly (more or less) to everybody on the ship. The captain wasn't in charge except during battle, and was in an elected position - any suitable unpopular actions by the captain meant losing their position. The idea of a pirate captain having sufficient wealth, not sharing it with their crew, and then burying it and then *killing some of the crew so no one can tell where it is* is just flat-out laughable.

Because the ones secreting away wealth and killing sailors so nobody else can have their ill-gotten gold? Those aren't pirates.

Those are the rich people who own the merchant ships the pirates preyed on.

Anyway, I recommend grabbing this before Fandom starts changing GameFAQs. I'm not a huge fan of its directory structure but it does provide the bonus of being able to grep every doc for a game at once.

Woah, inking on the sketch layer 🎵

Supposing you were a wave, and supposing that you were also a particle - ah, but I repeat myself.

If you do not have a misspent youth, one will be imagined for you.

I am of the firm opinion that not enough videogames let you be a dragon

Emmanuel, don't do it. Emmanuel, no! Stop. Emmanuel, do NOT invent a working Helium-3 fusion reactor!

Emmanuel!!

It is a specific kind of fuckwit who decides to initiate RP online with a dragon by deciding that they're going to try to steal one's hoard. It is an even MORE specific kind who believes that doing so will somehow ingratiate them to you.

Juice That Makes You Hsitpost (but Misspelled)

Note to self: "eaten by creatures" sounds SO much better in conversations than "I'm not sure where that is" or "I don't know."

"Hey, where's the 7mm socket?"
"Eaten by creatures."

"Say, whatever happened to Eisenhower, anyway?"
"Eaten by creatures."
