Suddenly you’re 30 minutes in and he’s quoting Bible verses and asserting Garfield is the devil

When I was 18, 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life, I saw a vision of clarity. I saw a comic strip, a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me, changed my being, changed who I am, made me who I am, enlightened me. The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new, no more then maybe a month and a half since inception, since… since coming into existence, and there it was before me in print, I saw it, a comic strip. What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that. I will get to this later, but first, let us just say he is Jon, a plain man, and then there is a cat, Garfield. This is the nature of the world here. When I see the world, the…the politics, the future, the… satellites in space, and the people who put them there, you could look at everything as a man and a cat. Two beings, in harmony, and at war. So this strip I saw about this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see… yes, hmm, it is about everything, this little comic is, oh… lo and behold not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic and it hit me all at once, its power, I clipped it and every day I looked at it and I said, okay, let me look at this here, what is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful? Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed, comfortable in his home and he reads his newspaper. The news of the world perhaps. Then he extends his fingers, lightly, delicately, he taps his fingers on an end table and he feels for something. What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. Then he looks up, slightly cockeyed and he thinks… his newspaper in his lap now, and he thinks this: “Now where could my pipe be?” This… I always come to this, because I was a young man, I’m older now, and I still don’t have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks: “Now where could my pipe be?”, and then it happens, you see it, you see… it’s almost like divine intervention, suddenly, it is there, and it overpowers you, a cat is smoking a pipe. It is the mans pipe, it’s Jon’s pipe, but the cat, this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe, and from afar, and from someplace near, but not clear… near but not clear, the man calls out, Jon calls out, he is shocked. “Garfield!” he shouts. Garfield, the cats name. But let’s take a step back. Let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives, and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my fathers house. The newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized his sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, landed on the kitchen floor. I picked up the picture pages and saw up somewhere near the top of this strip, just like Jon, I too was wearing an aquamarine shirt, so I thought, “Hah! Interesting, I’ll have to see this later.” I snipped out the little comic and held onto it, and 5 days later, I re-examined, and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this.

Everyone needs to be warned about the danger of Beefbrain

That show holds up so well I swear to god

Ha I sent a letter to my representative about this a while ago and got back a reply that amounted to “thanks but we don’t care”

Yeah I definitely agree, one of the more interesting things about Oblivion to me is that different writers wrote all of the different guilds. The dark brotherhood is basically the only quest line in the game that gives you different choices of dialogue. Every other quest in the game has only one response, which looking back is pretty laughable as an RPG.

(Oblivion is one of my favorite nostalgia games and I listen to the soundtrack almost every day, it’s just fun to point out interesting things in it)

It’s funny cause for how well remembered this quest is, it’s one of the most bugged & easily broken quests in Oblivion. I recently played through and found that for some reason you can just straight up kill guests in front of the others and they react the same as if you were sneaking around

Definitely recommend! It’s a fantastic game with a lot more to offer than I expected

Wow I just beat this game today, what a nice coincidence

I’m so tired of modern fantasy media intent on taking whimsy out of their worlds in order for me to “take them more seriously”. Give me goofy underworld TSA in Percy Jackson and not stereotypical underworld pls

Yes I agree CPA is proven to be more effective, but since its not available in the US spirits pretty much the only option. I agree its not the best and monotherapy is probably more viable, but there are very few options in the US especially with the affordability of spiro.

Again, there are things worth criticizing spiro for and its effectiveness - but that article puts out a decent amount of misinformation about the topic

That article claims that the standard starting prescription is 200mg spiro, but that’s not accurate. It’s 100mg, which in the article itself says that the effects from aren’t nearly as dangerous as what it says. Also dr. Will Powers is kind of a hack and has in the past threatened Trans Fem Science, a free website where trans people can source academic information, with legal action for publishing criticism about his methodologies.

Try the Submersed mod, it adds full motion controls!

Im working my way up to Xeno 3! But yeah I love Reyn, such a fun character

Pathologic 2 is a game that makes you feel like the entire world is against you. From the moment you start the game you’re presented with a scenario in which you’ve already failed to stop the deadly plague infecting the city, and you get a chance to do it all over.

You are Artemy Burakh, a surgeon coming back home to his home in the Russian Steppe at the request of his late father. From the moment you arrive in town, things are off. You are quickly branded as a criminal and must hide away or risk being attacked by citizens. Slowly but surely, you keep encountering strange things in the town: an impossible spire stretching into the heavens, a building where an infection has seemingly taken over the walls, a band of children who have broken away to form their own gamg, and the plague itself speaks to you - warning you about the devastation to come.

The game is brutally tough. It has difficulty settings if you struggle too much - but the intended difficulty is meant to crush your will to continue. While fighting off the plague you must manage your own hunger, thirst, and health. Which becomes increasingly harder to do as the plague grows in strength. In addition - at the end of every day the game randomly rolls who in the town gets infected with the plague and for those already infected they could possibly die. Everyone, including you, and I mean everyone in the town has the potential to die. You are tasked with keeping them alive.

On top of that the game is an excellent journey into the psychology of those you meet, and comments on the blend between the supernatural culture of the steppe and the growing industrialization of the city. There’s so much stuff there in the game (mind you there is some jank), and its the kind of game I think about all of the time. Also the soundtrack is beautiful and haunting, with the perfect emotion for each scene.
