NO WAY

HEY TUMBLR! I DESPERATELY WANT TO DESTROY SOMEONE IN AUSTRALIA!

SOMEONE STOLE MY BEST FRIEND'S $2000 EBIKE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND GOT AWAY WITH IT

HELP THEM GET A NEW ONE

The details: One of my best friends in the entire world, @takenbynumbers, has been having a rough time lately. Their birthday is on the 10th, but the last couple months have been complete hell—and then today someone stole their ebike from where it was locked up right outside their place of work, in the lot, in front of the doors, in broad fucking daylight.

Nobody saw anything. All that was left was their extremely hefty lock, which was sliced to nothing, and their helmet.

They need this bike to get around, first and foremost, but also it's an integral tool in retaining their literal physical mobility, as it's a low-impact exercise that helps stave off the deterioration of their hips due to a hereditary condition. A police report has been filed, but that's not likely to go anywhere—these things are never recovered.

If you're going "wait a second, didn't one of your friends have an ebike stolen a couple years ago?" you are correct! This is the same friend! Last time someone broke into the locked secure storage cage at the apartment complex where lived and stole it in the middle of the night—they got a lock to make sure that couldn't happen again, and THIS TIME SOME JACKASS USED BOLT CUTTERS!

I AM SO FUCKING MAD BUT I AM IN THE WRONG HEMISPHERE TO ENACT REVENGE

If we can raise enough to get them a new one it would be the best birthday present in the world. External links deboost posts all over the net, so PLEASE signal boost this if you can. Everything helps.

i must ask you reblog this so said beast, you know. actually has attributes also ping me or something if you draw it i want to see.

Video Game History Foundation

The VGHF Library opens in early access | Video Game History Foundation

For free. For everyone. Wherever you are.

The Video Game History Foundation just launched early access to its (digital) library, which contains development materials, artwork, press kits, promotional materials, and more relating to video games - some of which has never been public before - as well as "Over 1500 full-text searchable out-of-print video game magazines—including game industry trade magazines rarely available to the public."

More magazines ranging from Game Informer to Girl Gamer (the short-lived official Nintendo magazine) linked here.

Some highlights of the digitized library are the Cyan collection (the developer of the Myst adventure game series), which boasts over 200 videotapes and audio recordings including original FMV filming footage and "never-before-seen" interviews with the development team, Fromsoft promotional materials (given with a blessing from Fromsoft to be donated and including materials from Bloodborne to Kuon), and guidebooks and emphemera from video game events like the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

The library collections contain notes that designate whether materials are reproducible (for use in books, videos, etc) or restricted use, if that is a concern.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911. Rather than sharing another joke please contribute by broadcasting this which can save a person’s life! Be prepared and become part of the solution. Get your free next-of-kin notification card today.
