i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

I still don't understand the chase for hyperrealistic graphics. Not once have I played a game that aims to look like real life and thought "wow, I feel so much more immersed because of how real this looks". Snappy, responsive controls have 10000x more impact on immersion than graphics ever will imo

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

Anyway, if anyone is interested in some of my more nuanced thoughts on Astarion, here's my take on how ascension not only would not heal any of his trauma but would make everything worse by further entrenching all of his unhealthiest coping mechanisms: archiveofourown.org/works/65335204

I think @tkingfisher.com’s Astarion book has nailed a key BG3 experience, said experience being “A few weird Astarion fans hijacking social justice language in online attacks hoping that the company will apologize and maybe give them a treat.”

tumblr is having a great one about this, little masterpiece of a post I'd say
first post reads: Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you. 
reblog reads: "you're less internet savy than a 13 year old mormon" is a diabolical thing to say to someone, I support it
