I won’t want rules against something unless itā€˜s significantly harmful or dangerous (basically the potential to be harmful). I might have personal objections to things that aren’t significantly harmful or dangerous, but I won’t want there to be rules…

I basically don’t care what you do or think unless itā€˜s harmful, dangerous (basically the potential to be harmful), or frustrating. I was going to say ā€œonly if harmful or potentially harmful,ā€ but no. Sometimes things are frustrating without being under…

I’ve played so much Skyrim, so here’s my early game tip: Just play the game. Whatever ā€œmistakesā€œ you make will be way more fun than following someone’s YouTube ā€œgetting startedā€œ tutorial.

(Goku returns) Chi-Chi, hi! I’m back for a day to do fighting! Hey, why are you holding hands with Piccolo? Is one of you afraid of getting lost? And why is there a little me riding on your shoulders, Piccolo? And why does your T-shirt say ā€œThe Dad Who…

I apparently don’t even notice cat scratches until I see them. I’m assuming cat scratches, anyway. I held a cat, and I don’t know of any other explanations, but she was chill while being held, and these are long scratches. I pretty much have to assume it…

I believe information sickness is a thing. By this, I mean a constant influx of things to think about without time to process them. This isn’t ā€information bad.ā€ This is ā€œtoo much constant information is bad.ā€ It all competes for finite processing power,…

I both like and dislike Star Wars characters criticizing the Death Star in Expanded Universe novels. On the one hand, yes, good points, gold star. On the other, it feels a bit like someone writing a fan fiction in which they get to call out a flaw and…

How to test if you really know something: Try to explain it unassisted. Write out your explanation, them check your work. This isn’t just about testing yourself. Putting things in your own words is one of the best ways to get information in your head.…

I think self reliance is a thing we need to be teaching and encouraging. That doesn’t mean we don’t use tools or resources to help us. It’s just we aren’t designed to keep knowledge and skills sharp if we don’t use them, and fully delegating to something…

ā€œIf sugar is bad for you, why does it taste so good?!ā€ The tone of this question as presented in Parks and Recreation is ā€œthis is a stupid question,ā€œ and maybe it is in the context of it being less of a question and more of an attempted mic drop. If a…

People fairly criticized Mass Effect Andromeda for it’s faces, but when I see a fair amount of footage of Male Shepherd, his eyes seem… odd, to me. As though he’s constantly thinking ā€œholy crap so much is happeningā€ just beneath the surface. Though, if…

Is there any Friends fan fiction of Rachel going back to get her things after fleeing the wedding? Genuinely, she fled with just the wedding dress on her back and got cut off that same day. We know she definitely retrieved things from somewhere eventually…

I’m not sure a credit card exists that doesn’t give cash back in some way. I’m not saying that isn’t a good deal to include if trying to get someone to sign up, but it doesn’t feel like a unique deal, either. Like, throw in a riding ostrich plus…

I maintain that it makes sense to be polite with Q. Not groveling and subservient, but polite. Q shows up, I half expect someone to shoot him. Granted, I’m thinking of TNG. It quickly becomes difficult to blame Janeway.

Crack spread is a serious term and y’all need to stop giggling. No, seriously. From Wikipedia: ā€œCrack spread is a term used in the oil industry and futures trading for the differential between the price of crude oil and petroleum products extracted from…

If it’s a personal option, I consider it worth keeping some physical ā€œuh-ohā€ cash on hand. This isn’t underground bunker prep talk. This is ā€œthere’s a number of ways access to digital cash can fail.ā€ Not likely for long most places (hopefully) but maybe…

Nearly every character I make in games (when not roleplaying as a specific character) is Dana. I consider Dana one of my names, but I don’t go by that day-to-day in person, so itā€˜s mostly used in games. Admittedly, this makes it difficult to keep track of…

Everything I hear about the administration trying to deal with diesel is catastrophic. ā€œRed diesel? I don’t know what that is.ā€ (It’s dyed to mark it as tax exempt so farmers, who don’t use the roads, don’t pay a tax for road use.) ā€œLet’s allow truckers…

I’m debating whether I should turn off spelling and grammar checking on my tablet. On the one hand, I communicate in a semi-professional form (when I’m not yacking about Skyrim), and it’s definitely preferable to avoid errors. On the other, I’m not…

The World’s Strongest Witch seems to be the power fantasy trope of being able to access the internet in a fantasy / game world, EXCEPT it knows and acknowledges exactly how silly that concept is and treats it like the joke it should be. In short, I like…

Number One at Knowing That Feel - https://www.egscomics.com/comic/falsekings-196 If there were a trophy for knowing that feel, she would have it, and in fact, she does. Because you can just buy trophies. There's a man playing baseball on it, but you can…

Something that was distracting me is no longer distracting me, and now I need to adapt to it not being a distraction. Which seems weird, but it’s legit. It’s like the momentum from that is slowing down, and I need to get momentum back going in positive…

I think something a game like #Skryim could take from Palworld is the annoyance of crafting taking time. Not in most cases. This adds nothing to smithing or enchanting. It does, however, add something to Alchemy. Alchemy is annoying in Vanilla Skyrim due…

Speaking of people not knowing whatā€˜s Vanilla, the Anniversary Editions have done a real number on that with Fallout 4. Between the influx of players due to the TV show and Anniversary Edition being what Bethesda wants to sell you from the start now,…

There are people (including those who put together the unofficial Skyrim patch) who think Archery shouldn’t be included in the Thief standing stone, and it was a mistake. Archery is obviously a COMBAT skill! Meanwhile, stealth archer is a meme. It wasn’t…

ā€œWash boardā€œ? What board? Why did I write this on my dry erase boar—OH! The board itself. Wash that. Got it. Y’know, past me, you should’ve said ā€œclean board.ā€ ā€œWash boardā€ invokes the image of dunking it in a bucket of soap water, not giving it a spritz…

So I have three versions of #Skyrim on Switch 2. I have Switch 1 Skyrim with Anniversary Edition, Japanese Skyrim *without* Anniversary Edition, and the Switch 2 upgrade that was free because I had the Switch 1 version, but is genuinely a separate version…

Parks and Recreation reinforces the fact that I’m not against heterosexual couples in fiction. I just want them to be good couples, and a lot of shows like to write heterosexual couples as adversaries who always argue, seem to hate each other, and should…

I gravitate towards villainess and saint manga / anime for the same basic reasons: I like a protagonist being genuinely kind and trying to help people. Which sounds weird for the villainess genre, but the irony is the villainess is almost always a…

Let it be known that I was perfectly willing to give the movie Susan and Jay are going to see a sensible name. The problem is too many things exist, and it’s a silly movie anyway, so now its name is ridiculous. #egscomics

Sage (person, not a plant) in anime tends to get localized as saint. Saint works fine, but I don’t know why it’s so frequently chosen over Sage. Maybe itā€˜s simply perceived as localizing its meaning better? Maybe ending on a ā€œTā€ is thought to sound…

When stuck on writing something, I think it helps to look away from the text itself. This is easier on a keyboard (as in a literal, physical keyboard), as I don’t need to look at it while typing. Granted, I’ll need to go back and check for typos, and…

Something I want to bring back is Ashley being right due to genre savvyness. It hasn’t come up much, but she correctly guessed Andrea had a bad sense of direction, and that Nanase couldn’t reach Elliot with her fairy doll spell at one point because Elliot…

If not for my hair and eyes, I’d look weirdly young when clean shaven. Something about facial hair seems to add ten years. Or maybe its absence subtracts ten? I dunno. It’s weird. I swear it seems to affect parts of my face where it doesn’t even grow.

Reasons I might not eat invlude: - An inability to be proactive and being in an anxiety state. - Actively being proactive and not wanting to stop to eat. I think I’m just prone to skipping meals and need to make it a scheduled thing on a checklist.
