Free story idea for anyone who likes torturing their characters: Imagine a character going through boot camp. They go to sleep on their last day, ready to begin their new job in the military. When they wake up, it's the first day of boot camp. None of their physical training goes back with them.

Anybody remember this show? Feels weirdly relevant today specifically ...

I feel the need to put this out into the ether in the hopes of educating someone who doesn't get this: Yes, 'bi' as a latin root means 'two.' No, that does not mean bisexual people are only attracted to two genders. It's a word, and words are easily molded to new definitions and understandings.

Ever since my gf and I started playing Stardew Valley together, I've been seeing friends playing the game in a different light. Any number of them could be sharing a mundane, special kind of joy with their partner. That just ... Makes me feel real warm inside ;w;

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Latest post-midnight take: Tootsie-Rolls started coming in different flavors to make people more invested in the original chocolate variety, as a means of implying scarcity or that the company would eventually phase it out. I can't prove this but it explains why every other flavor sucks ass.

2 am hot take: I loved playing through the Genocide route in Undertale bc nothing shows the depth of a person's kindness and justice like an impossibly powerful foe. My cruelty showed me just how amazing those characters are. Never give me power.

I fully believe that anyone who still drives a cyber truck must have a humiliation kink, and anyone who defends the idea of driving a cyber truck is in the closet about their humiliation kink.

I think certain neurodivergencies and disorders would be the equivalent of drugs to Mind Flayers. ADHD = Meth, Cocaine, etc. Depression = Alcohol, some Marijuana plants Autism = Mushrooms (this one will make you think WAY too much about sloths) OCD/Bipolar/Schizo etc. = BAD TRIP

I think I understand Actual Play fans a bit more now. Been reading through a new TTRPG book for about a week and I wanna run it real bad but for various reasons I have to wait, and now I'm willing to settle for just hearing someone else's game. Can't wait 'till I'm back at the table tho

Media analysts are the kinds of people that feel disappointed when protag-kun speeds past describing fictional game mechanics because he thinks they're boring the audience. The folks that say "aww, I wanted to know how you got past the frame-perfect energy blast counter move!"

There are a number of movies I'd call "mixed bags" that are meant in the greatest amount of enjoyment value that I can muster. Some of the best I've seen and some of the least interesting I've seen. Iron Lung is one of those movies.

Okay did some more thinking about my last post and it occurs to me that I kinda inherently assume other people either don't or didn't know the same things I don't or didn't know. Like my inherent understanding of knowledge is kinda fucked 'cause it's very self-centered.

So, apparently I don't know how to be clear with people about my mental health without coming across as patronizing. I guess some part of me telling them about what my therapy is for or how I manage stress comes across as 'you clearly don't know psychology, so let me explain it to you.'

Still gonna make this Sanda video happen despite the Holidays being over - at this point, it's more of a spite project than anything else. I genuinely love the show, but damn if this vid hasn't been one of the more trying ones of my career. Also, Invincible fans can expect a treat coming February~

So I'm very happy to be a Christmas baby. I think Christmas is a lovely holiday, and I'm grateful I was born on a day that's meant to spread love and cheer to others. Clarifying so that when I ask the Christians out there to kindly not preach to a crowded travel bus on the 26th, they might listen.

Oh btw I'm caught up on Sanda now and uh I'm sorry for saying it wasn't good. Turns out it's actually fire

UnholyBasil @unholybasil.bsky.social · 09/12/2025
So I feel like I got jumped in an alleyway by Sanda. Yes, the 'd' is intentional. I was gonna make a video about One Battle After Another to close the year out, but this more topical, in my wheelhouse, *and* I'm the Christmas baby. I just wish it was a good show :/

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.

I think the fact that I do not give one iota of a shit if my job approves my time-off requests anymore is a testament to the incredibly low value the average job in the States has.

Watched Castle in the Sky for the first time tonight. Obviously great movie, 10/10. There's some good symbolism in the way the spell to find Laputa was 6-8 words, but the spell to destroy it was only one. It's so much easier to destroy than it is to search and find ... But the latter means way more

Can't decide if this is a sign the internet has gone too far or a semi-wholesome unveiling of exciting new places to explore. Either way I think I'm in love?

I think there could be a lot of value in a full-priced video game with gacha-style mechanics that ... A. Doesn't allow you to buy pulls, you must acquire them via quests in-game. B. Doesn't necessitate grinding for an eternity to make weapons/characters viable. C. Generally respects players' time

Why are we 'cooking' when we're being impressive but 'cooked' when we're doomed? I feel like you could make a sequel to the classic Sphinx riddle about humanity using those words: "What's elated while it's cooking but depressed when it's cooked?" Could be good for a meme if anyone's inspired.

So I recently got my LG v60 ThinQ fixed, its battery got jostled after I dropped it and just needed to be physically reset in its socket. On an unrelated issue, I just checked my phone's battery settings. The menu reads "non-removable battery." I watched someone remove it. Your phone lies to you.

The hardest part about being in a relationship is recognizing that you will never fully understand your partner. I'm discovering new things about myself every day, so it makes sense that I will never know all there is to know about my SO. It's amazing and terrifying at the same time.

It's a shame that the human race could potentially die out if all men had vasectomies, because there is no physical sensation like the recovery from one for us, and I'm told by my sisters and girlfriends it's fairly similar to their periods. Would help a lot of guys understand women more.
