Update on Swagger; He’s very big.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

Donald Trump is reportedly set to announce a call for the d*ath penalty against child r*pists and traffickers. 😲‼️

Didn’t expect to cross Huw Edwards being a raging nonce off my 2024 bingo card but here we are.

3. Sexual Violence

Pornography makes women seem like objects, sex toys.

This view can encourage people to commit acts of sexual assault.

Overall it's a toxic industry influencing men to reenact what they see

Instead of understanding and appreciating real sex.

MYSTIC MAC IS BACK 🔮🇮🇪

@TheNotoriousMMA takes on @MikeChandlerMMA at 170lbs! #UFC303

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Yesterday’s pickups. Went there for Dark Souls because I want to play it on the 360. Ended up grabbing Gears of War and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition as well. :)

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Thank god you can still download American McGee’s Alice on the PS3 PlayStation Store. 👁👄👁

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

I’m not saying I NEED a PS4 with P.T installed… I’m just saying I would LIKE a PS4 with P.T installed.

[Conor McGregor @TheNotoriousMMA]

Proper graft!

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

I just realised I gave him tattoos but apparently they disappear in the post-fight win cutscene??? Weird.

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Look at that LATS on that KING. 😤😤😤

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Started playing UFC 2 with my boyfriend as I’m getting a bit more into UFC in general. Started the career mode and I’ve won two fights so far. Never been into sports games and I haven’t played any fighting games since Tekken on the PS2.

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

The submission system is a bit 😬 and I feel like sometimes it doesn’t really work, especially a few of the the training/practice modes, but it is what it is.

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

If you want something short, (is nine hours short?), and mind-numbing that might make you laugh here and there, with mid to below-average voice acting and pretty cutscenes, this game is the one.

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Well, I completed GunGrave G.O.R.E. The last third of the game was painfully samey in terms of enemy design. The last five levels were shooting the same four enemies and I was mentally done with it.

Really liked the final cutscene, though. Very cool, very hype.

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Nearly finished GunGrave G.O.R.E. It was a random game I picked up for £8 and it’s honestly not, (imo), terrible? It’s just not… great. I’ve done 31 levels including the main four bosses with pretty much no deaths, which tells you immediately about the level of challenge -

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Overall, the game has really nice graphics, (for the most part), and I’m honestly really impressed with how the frame rate managed. Even despite all the fire and the bullets, zero frame drops or stutters. I’d say the £8 I paid was a fair price, but if you can get it cheaper, do.

“What’s going on with white males between 18-25?!”

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

Super stoked. Cannot wait to see what this team does next, especially after experiencing Steelrising last year. Ahhh, I can’t wait. I really can’t. What a great team.

[Elijah 🍋 @metasentience]

I couldn’t ever begin to describe how excited I am for Greedfall 2. The first game is probably in my top ten games of all time. I spent so much time with it and I keep going back to it. Originally played it when it was free on PS Plus and then ended up getting it on PS5, too.

[Spiders @spidersgames]

We were so proud to finally present our new trailer during the #NaconConnect yesterday! Carants, it's time to go back to the @greedfall universe 😍
