SEXY. BENTHIC. MONSTROSITIES.

how dare a band instruct me to imagine dragons. I was browsing deviantart in the early '00s, I can't STOP imagining dragons

Pacific Rim Uprising mini-review:

A squel that doesn't understand the love the first film had for its material, and doesn't understand that the first film had creative vision and wasn't just written to form. Also, not enough sexy monsters.

Verdict: unremarkable 2010s action film.

I don't doubt that your snide remark, your screencapped dunk, your quote tweet, whatever, is totally earnest, from a good place, or whatever you say, like, I don't doubt that.

It's not about the behavior of exactly one actor (like say, you), but the systemic effect of all of these people all doing something at once.

It's weirdly violent, and neither the participants nor the target benefit from it. It's just _designed_ to suck the life out your eyeballs and that's it. So, cool it.

Subnautica nitpicking 

Shouldn't 4546B have ridiculously huge tides, since that giant-ass moon or planet or whatever is zipping around?

Allegedly I should be able to do base construction by now? I've had no indication of it :<

(water purification and the location of cave sulfur were both super non-obvious to me)

Is this one of those games where you're just implicitly expected to be looking up guides online? 'Cause like, I've had to do that for a couple basic materials and that saps a bit of fun out of discovery :|

Hmm. Got the second-tier air tank (nice), the rad suit, and the scoot thingy. Did a lap around the wreck but wasn't able to find a point of ingress.

I'm not super sure where to go next? Could go into those caves but that scares me a bit and I'm not sure what the reward is likely to be.

volunteering, Seattle-area laptop donation request 

the PAWS Wildlife Rehab baby bird crew needs a new laptop! well, it doesn't have to be *new*, it just needs to *work*. if you happen to have one sitting around that's collecting dust, let me know and I'll put you in touch with them. in exchange, I'll give you exciting stories (lol probably not) about feeding baby birds! well I'll give them anyway, but y'know. XD

I picked up Subnautica. After about an hour, it's definitely very pretty but hasn't quite sucked me in yet.

Does anyone have recommendations for podcasts that are consistently 20-25 minutes long?

Great British Baking Show is the only competition tv I've seen where contestants go out of their way to help each other succeed. It's lovely :)
