The dead pixel analogy is probably my favorite thing about this godforsaken game. One of my favorite analogies in game history. Every time I think about it it brings a tear to my eye. The dead pixel. A flaw you could only see if you stood really, really close. A detail that's lost to anyone keeping their distance.
Anya telling Curly that the dead pixel always lives in the back of her mind, but Curly never got close enough to see it, it's the kind of writing that I don't see in games much anymore.
He was never willing to get up and look for it because it never affected his view of the bigger picture. He was never going to fix it because he never noticed it in the first place. Nobody cared about the dead pixel until they were standing eye to eye with it.
But that was all Anya ever saw. That one damn pixel. They never heard her until it was too late.
Please do things to strengthen your attention span. It stresses me out so much when people just accept their small attention spans and cater to them without any acknowledgment that they are making it worse by doing that.
There is a reason attention spans are worse now and it didn’t just happen by chance. Media and the internet designed it that way and we went with it because it was easier.
Some of us with ADHD and brain fog need to meet ourselves where we’re at and exercise our attention span by watching a two minute video instead of a one minute video. Some of us need to sit down and read a novel with our phones turned off.
Wherever you’re at, just realize that not doing things that feel hard will keep making your attention span worse.
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
i love "woag". a purposeful mispelling of woah. it conveys such an Emotion that cannot be named but is deeply relatable
tea parties should be more common. let’s sit down and enjoy the afternoon with sum tea n lemon cookies. maybe wear pretty dresses or lovely suits or groovy overalls, yk? in the tea party, we r safe and loved. have a cookie.
you may think it’s no big deal but every sweet interaction is actually the most important thing in the world. sooo. take that
on a dark & stormy night, there was a creature . & you’re never going to beleive what it did next
it can be as small as making a cup of tea with a flavor you like or taking a second to sip on your coffee, really pay attention to how it tastes and the feeling of the warm cup in your hands.
take an extra break at work. take it in the bathroom if you have to, but give yourself that extra time. deep breaths.
get a little snack. something that you might not normally allow yourself.

Gf will only have sex with me if we toss each other around the room and have a roleplay anime battle where one of us gets pinned. It’s very tiresome but very hot. Does anyone have any new super moves i can use because my holy crescent sword beam is getting stale and she’s learning to dodge my attacks. Every time she wins she just smirks and monologs and then we don’t have sex. I’m open to any ideas for new strategies or weapons
