In the words of my people:
...Yeah, no.
One of the earliest lessons I had in 'adventure pacing' for running RPGs was a game where the players got arrested. When told "okay, you're all in individual cells [GM describes cells], what do you do? Look for vents, try to pick the lock?" "Sleep. We've been in continuous action for 36 hours, this is the safest we've been since we airdropped in!"
With Half-Life being talked about again, I do want to reiterate that Gordon Freeman went to work at one morning and; aside from being knocked unconscious and put into stasis a few times; went without sleep for the next six consectutive days
I was looking at the math for one band (KOVEN, they're great, check them out) I like so much Youtube thinks I'm in the their top 0.1% of all listeners. If I listened to them on repeat for basically an entire summer - 8 songs an hour, 8 hours a day, for 90 days - the world's loudest Introvert-Extrovert tag team would have earned $1.15 from me. (Websearches gave me a 0.0002/stream rate currently). That's obviously an over-estimate, even in brain-rewiring obsessions I listen to other stuff occasionally - but you see the point, right? Life-altering levels of love of their music, and I wouldn't even have gotten Katie and Max a cup of coffee each. Buying one of their EPs probably got twice that to them, immediately. You can see why Katie's always on the road doing DJ stuff - that pays actual money.
one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does
i miss her (ttrpg character i barely got to play)
honestly it could go either way
(might be posting that fic soon btw 👀)
accel world is so hard to explain
like it just sounds incredibly contrived out of context
which sucks because it's genuinely fascinating once you get into it
wait
hold the fuck on
so ok, i was thinking about the "silica's equipment" situation again and realised something
^her own equipment
^the equipment kirito gave her; which to say *kiri just had that on her at the time*
and just... that design
?????! the similarities?! the collar!!! the shape!
and we know kiri explicitly chose the ggo outfit!
that's kirito's style!
oh
and also
while rereading the novel volume for this
???! wait why did the anti-harassment code not go off for this?!
so much going on here
reki what the fuck
explain yourself
happy yuri night everybody
Oh god, this may be why I keep persuading people to get into Good Media and then wondering why they're all three books/games/etc ahead of me suddenly...
"any time is a good time for mid, but quality deserves the perfect environment" really does explain my habits lmao
