I use the bird site to talk about films and TV shows and video games. I may end up doing that here. Lawyer by trade.

"Walking simulators"? Oh, you mean
Amblin Entertainment. (Sort of a dumb joke tbh since Amblin gets its name from Spielberg's first film "Amblin'" so I'm basically just making the joke he's already made but in the opposite direction. Please like and follow.)

satan infestation
A drawing of a messy room with torn curtains and a stool knocked over and stains everywhere, with little round devils everywhere.
Narrative text says "my home is now infested with Satans. My landlord is refusing to do anything about it. She just keeps saying 'it's in the lease. They can be here. It's allowed.
Well, I looked in the lease and it looks like someone scribbled the word 'satan' on it with a crayon.
that was not there when I signed the lease."

We have fallen so far
Extract from Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder:

After this was done, Ma began the work that belonged to that day. Each day had its own proper work. Ma used to say:

"Wash on Monday,
Iron on Tuesday,
Mend on Wednesday,
Churn on Thursday,
Clean on Friday,
Bake on Saturday,
Rest on Sunday."
Laura liked the churning and the baking days best of all the week.

a related thing, patch 4.0 or thereabouts changed the threshold at which you earn drastically less xp from 6 levels above recommended to 10 above, but in my own experience with the remaster this threshold seems to have changed again as I got like 3xp when I was about 8 over

They are also melodramatic, extremely anime games set in an alternate-earth where there's a lot more sci-fi tech and most debates seem to be settled by dozens of jets fighting each other. Expect orbital strikes, laser cannons and tanks with railguns accompanied by poetic musings on the folly of war

Why do the avatars on the Meta Pervert Pendant look like characters from a 2011 Dutch children’s TV show whose title translates to “Happy Penis Man Friends and Mister BumBum”
Mark Zuckerberg announcing a lil penis guy dressed as a 2008 hipster (from the Fleet Foxes “everyone in Silverlake is pretending they like roughing it in the great outdoors now” era) by way of Michael Cera (got the outfit but couldn’t grow the beard). The penis guy lives in your cleavage and spies on everything you do.Mark Zuckerberg announcing a lil penis guy themed like Turtle from “Entourage.” The penis guy lives in your cleavage and spies on everything you do.Mark Zuckerberg introducing a lil penis guy with a short shaft and an oversized head, as an effort to make dudes with fucked up lil dicks (including many of Zuck’s friends, like Elon Musk) feel represented in his product. Zuck himself is a nevernude who has a perfectly smooth patch of skin where his genitalia should be, like a Ken doll, so he doesn’t really know what a penis is supposed to look like. Mark Zuckerberg introducing a lil happy butt guy. He is countering accusations of his VR glasses being “for perverts” with this new proposal that you should wear a lil butt guy on your chest and let it spy on everyone.

My sister in law found a book by the Irish patron saint of the arts, Don Conroy, and he unironically did the meme.
Cover of the book, "Wildlife Fun with Don Conroy." On it, we see a photo of the artist, surrounded by drawings of plants and a foxInterior, showing tutorials on how to draw a deer and a hedgehog. You know the ancient meme, "draw the rest of the fucking owl?" Basically, that.

Alien: Isolation fans might like to know that its xeno-goo is splattered all over Silent Hill: Townfall. Using lo-fi gadgets to track enemies in atmospheric, convincingly lived-in, beautifully art directed environments. Using phones to save. Hiding in lockers. Reading emails on chunky old computers.
