  • I can’t remember if I’ve brought it up before now, but guys, my father died earlier this year, and I’m still having a hard time dealing with it. I feel like such shit about the way that I cared for him in the end. He didn’t have anybody else but me, and I feel like I was so inadequate. He was a mean old son of a bitch who did a tour during Vietnam and impregnated an 18 year old girl at age 59. He wasn’t a good man, and as much as old habits want me to say that I’m being dramatic when I tell you this, I don’t think it’s unfair to say that he emotionally and psychologically abused me for years. But he held me and loved me and drove me to school, took me to museums and helped me learn to read and to drive and to conduct myself in life. His retirement pay certainly helped me out of a few jams as well, I’m not too proud to admit that. He was my rock in a lot of ways, as much as he was a burden on me emotionally. Damn me, but I don’t blame him for any of it, and I just start weeping any time I dedicate more than a moment’s thought to the situation. I already lost my mom when I was 16, and now I’ve lost him too, and I’m not even out of my twenties. The whole thing just makes me deeply sad.

    You all aren’t my therapists, and I don’t expect sympathy, or even a response, I’m just drunk and emotional and needed to get that off my chest, and I thank you profusely for allowing me to do that.

    Supplemental lore tells us that, in the world of Elysium, there exist people known as Magpies. These people have the ability to perceive and “decode” information from the Pale, the entroponetic phenomenon that pervades Elysium, and which has the potential to convey information, such as memories, from the past and present. I personally interpret Harry’s Shivers and Inland Empire abilities as evidence of him being one of those, as they often provide him (and us) with information that he either has not yet learned, or cannot possibly know. At any rate though, the Innocences are people who are able to do this to a degree that they can radically alter history. It is heavily implied that Dolores Dei’s assassination resulted from her ability to bring ideas from the future into her time, which one of her bodyguards caught onto and saw as evidence of her being some kind of inhuman abomination




  • Even if you never manage to find the Archer, the game beats you over the head with the idea that the Moralintern not only stands for nothing, but is willing to resort to insidious tactics to stand up for that nothing. And even if you manage to never pick up on those hints, the few representatives of the Moralintern that you’re able to meet and speak with are parodies of your average dull-minded pro-austerity EU bureaucrats. I mean really, imagine declaring your full throated support for a parody of Mario Draghi, that the game openly mocks you for supporting sunday-friend



  • I don’t know if I’m dressing up for actual Halloween, but I went to a party the other day as cowboy leather daddy Ghostface. I do like the Scream movies, but I mainly did it because I figured my girlfriend and her friends would think it was hot lol

    I’m kinda proud of how well it turned out actually. I was almost fully decked out in leather, including chaps. Even my hat, which miraculously fit over my mask, was leather. Wore spurs on my boots, and my jacket had all kinds of crazy rodeo fringe all over it. Was sweating like a pig after five minutes on the dance floor, but totally worth it
