when I was taking writing classes at U of T, one of my profs lectured super hard about how we should know everything about our characters BEFORE we even think about writing. their favourite food, favourite music, etc. and then she bragged about how she'd written an entire book's worth of background information on her main character's parents (who only appeared in a few chapters), and how none of it was useable but all of it informed her work. and after the class I looked her up, and she's only published 2 books in the 25+ years of her career, both out of print, with the newest one being like 14 years old. so I was like okay, listen, maybe not all advice should be followed.

I mean maybe that sounds harsh, but also this is someone who took money from us and in return tried to shepherd us into the same paralysis that's clearly been affecting her, so maybe a teensy tiny droplet of harshness is due.

Getting dumped really puts children's cartoon villains into perspective. Like dude you're SO right, love and caring ARE disgusting and we SHOULD cast a spell to drain all human emotion into your amulet.

Friend breakups are how you get lines like "Your friends? You think your friends are coming to save you? Don't make me laugh."

Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely

It’s like they expect us to just forget their original marketing schemes in favor of more and more money grabs.

the replacement of websites with apps sounds so backwards when you actually describe it. like hmm you have to download an entire program onto your device each time you want access to a portal, where it takes up storage indefinitely. somebody should invent an app where you can "browse" any portal just by typing in its address... 🥴
