whenever people complain about building ikea stuff it's like ok but have you ever had to assemble anything that came flat packed from amazon??? ikea has a logic, at least, whereas Amazon items are pure chaos.

The problem may be that you don't read enough of these different stories for them resonate or you don't really want these stories but it's nice to say you do
These stories are underrepresented for a reason & often require exploring different definitions of what makes a good story

[Marve with an 'E'✨ @JustMarveWrites]

Underrepresented stories are not white stories with black characters. The story arcs, the character motivation, the plot, everything is different. So know what you're asking for when you say you want underrepresented voices. Also know that if you don't 'connect' with them. 1/2

Today marks the 16th Anniversary of Odin Sphere.

This Vanillaware action JRPG featured several selectable protagonists facing their own plights on the continent of Erion.

Gameplay was unique as character growth was dependent on a lite-farming system.

An enhanced version of the game, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, was released years later.

My hot take is that Ch*tGPT is free right now because it needs you to feed it your stories, essays, and poems for free, and when it’s done taking all you have, they’ll put it all behind a paywall.

the thing to remember is that john brown was not insane. he saw the situation with perfect clarity.

Sonic the Hedgehog (sustained speed of 767 MPH) could have run from the Shire to Mount Doom (1718 miles) in just over 2 hours. But also he famously loves rings, so he almost assuredly would find the thrall of the Ring far too powerful to resist. Tails would have had to shoot him
