the fact that daedra had to stop opening gates in black marsh because the argonians kept reverse-invading them is so funny to me it was just like
daedra: we’re invading
argonians: no, we’re invading
Daedra: invades
Argonians:
argonians: WHO’S THE DAEDRA NOW, ASSWAGON
I got Vietnam/Cambodia war flashbacks.

i understand the historical reasons why English is the most common language
but if I was writing a speculative fiction novel
and I said “the language that most people learn as a second language, usually for professional reasons, is also the only one with a spelling system so terrible that spelling words correctly is a broadcasted competition”
you’d be like “extremely unrealistic 0/10”
i never thought of this, do other languages not have spelling bees?
#no we don’t
What
Dude, the definitely do. The Cantonese spelling competitions are brutal. You think English is bad? Try a tonal language that only has individual pictographs and commit suicide in your own time. I pity the kids in Hong Kong.

do you know what I really hate? early morning culture. the misconception that getting up early is inherently better than sleeping in. that people who stay in bed longer than 8 am are lazy and have an unhealthy life rhythm and that apparently they “miss the best part of the day”. that causes so much unnecessary shame and guilt, especially in young people whose inner clock doesn’t work that way - scientifically proven, teenagers can’t reach their mind’s full potential before 10 am. And more generally speaking: why should we care if someone gets up at 10 or 11 am and goes to bed far after midnight? I would get so much more shit done if I wouldn’t feel so guilty for staying up late and sleeping in.
100000% this. Also Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder is a thing. But mostly just yes.
One of my dad’s favorite studies to quote is one about the productivity of early risers and night owls. The study found that the only difference between the two groups was that “one is a lot more smug about it.”
suck it, morning people ;)
To quote Kryten:
“Early to charge, early to unplug, will make an android healthy, wealthy and too darn smug.”

so for the past month or so at gamestop we’ve been getting prank calls from kids asking if we have big chungus. usually i play along and tell them it’s not out yet but you can preorder it for a thousand dollars or whatever because it makes them happy
anyway yesterday i walk into the back room at the beginning of my shift and see an empty game box with the big chungus box art inserted. like straight up just this exact image
except it was for the 360, not the ps4. inside was a copy of kinect adventures which i don’t think gamestop even sells anymore. i thought it was really funny and i asked my boss why he brought it in but he informed me that it had been there when he opened and had no idea where it came from (we still don’t know)
a couple hours later i had two kids come into the store and ask for big chungus in person. this was a first - previously i’d only received big chungus questions over the phone. it was a fucking miracle that this was happening on the same day a copy of big chungus had inexplicably materialized in the store. so i said “yes actually, one second” and stepped into the back, i could hear the kids gasping with disbelief behind me. i brought out big chungus and they absolutely lost their shit. one of them took a snap of it and was like “YO I’M AT GAMESTOP AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE BIG CHUNGUS” while the other frantically texted all his friends. it was great, best thing that’s happened at work in weeks. moral of the story is if you work at gamestop, print out a big chungus cover and keep it in the back, you may end up making some kid’s day
I know some guys who did the same thing back in the day with Battletoads II, the just go in and switched the cover for shits and giggles. They didn’t do it again because it made a sales person cry when they couldn’t find the disc.
