Digital illustration of the heroic goose from Untitled Goose Game. Goose is all white with orange feet and beak and everything is rendered in flat simple shapes. Goose is standing next to a stream with greenery and blue sky behind, proudly holding the coveted shiny bell in his beak. Handwritten lettering in the sky reads ‘Maybe it will happen today.’

This, from my new beau, did help, though
ME:
Therapist called me resilient and I scream-sobbed
I DON'T WANT TO BE
RESILIENT I WANT TO BE SOFT
Alas the world has other plans
But I will keep being soft and warm like a big beautiful borzoi.
This is the Stella promise

HER:
In my view, soft, warm people like you are resilient *because* of their softness. It's the hardened, tough types that shatter. Your softness will help you return to your beautiful self.

For anyone who doesn't know, this is the other way in which payment processors make money (other than straight fees). They float the money, making returns on it while it is in their possession, before dishing it back out again.

If you leave short story-sized comments in your code, it should be to explain something so messed up that you need to leave a message to yourself, Memento-style See: the first half of a comment block I left in the weapon code of Reelism 2
A massive comment block in the Basketball weapon code for Reelism 2. It reads, in part:

"Abandon hope, all ye who enter the Splot_BasketballProjectile section!

During the Early Excess period for Reelism 2, the Basketball was extremely prone to crashing. This was probably the most frequent piece of feedback that we received. We tried many, many, many times to fix it, and for that reason, I must tell you the story of what happened.

The Basketball was originally split between two objects: a projectile actor, which handled the collisions with monsters and geometry, and a WeaponGiver actor with a larger radius, which is what the player picked up and made the ball easier to grab in the air. This configuration ran into an issue where, randomly, GZDoom would crash immediately after the ball was thrown or dunked. The problem stuck around for months, even persisting into the first public release of Reelism 2, much to our frustration.

As far as we can tell, the underlying problem was related to how the two Basketball actors would need to constantly reference each other. If one actor was removed from play in the middle of the other actor's script, there was a chance that GZDoom would crash by trying to reference the properties of an object that didn't exist anymore. We could never get the two actors in sync, no matter how many safeguards we added.

The obvious solution to this problem was to combine the two Basketball objects into one actor, which is what you'll see below. However, I was reluctant to do this at first, because we would lose the expanded WeaponGiver hitbox. The Basketball is a pretty small object, so I was hestitant to cut that feature.

I started to implement the trimmed-down version of the Basketball on the evening of December 2, 2020 when the solution dawned on me: We could still use a hitbox actor, as long as it did NOTHING."

An illustration done mostly with digital colored pencils. Ok, so we have a wooden coffin in the classic top-heavy hexagon shape. The coffin is propped up at an angle on nothing against a background of gray-blue paint splatters as a spooky sheet ghost rises out of it. Although it’s not a real sheet as it’s translucent and there’s nothing inside of it except a gape-mouthed green skull in the approximate head position within the sheet. The ghost is wearing a big. floppy, black witch’s hat and there’s a little brown bat hanging down from the wide brim. The ghost’s arms are extended holding a jack o’ lantern with a one-toothed frowny face carved into it. Popping out of the jack o’ lantern is a a black cat with green eyes balancing the cap of the pumpkin on his head. And on the stem of the pumpkin cap is a very serious-looking brown speckled owl. A series of spooky speech balloons is chained together around all this , each balloon containing one word and associating back tot he spooks and creatures named in the reverse order listed. The lettering in the balloons is red and drippy and reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

A nonfiction book written in, let’s say, the year 1795, is most likely still around in a library somewhere and every other work it referred to is probably accessible in some archive as well. A nonfiction book written in 2007 probably cites a bunch of urls that are dead or rotted beyond recognition.

Miley’s a very leaky girl when she’s flustered.
An anthropomorphic golden retriever wearing a white king gizzard and the wizard lizard t shirt without pants, pulled down over their hard cock. They look anxious and exasperated, as they look at a person off camera, tears in her eyes. 

The character off screen says “look at you… you’ve  made a complete mess of that shirt… I knew this would happen… this is why I wouldn’t let you wear your shorts!”

The golden retriever says” this wouldn’t have happened if you let me wear my shorts!!!”
