As someone who collects a LOT of physical media but doesn’t make a lot of money, I want to share the rule that keeps my wallet from crying out in despair every time I enter a store. I don’t remember who I got this from, but thank you whoever you are because it has been a game-changer when it comes to building a large collection without breaking the bank.

The $1 per hour rule. It’s exactly what it says on the tin. If I’m purchasing physical media, I consider it good value if I can expect to get at least one hour of enjoyment for every dollar I spend on it.

I don’t remember what I spent on BG3, but I know it was a good deal because I’ve logged 600 hours in it. Hades II costs $30, and I was more than happy to pay that because I know I’ll play it for at least 30 hours. When I add books to my library, I almost exclusively buy used books that cost under $5 because 5 hours is a good average estimate for how long it takes me to finish a novel.

Will there be a treat you splurge on every now and then? Of course, but $1 per hour is a good standard to stick to if you want to responsibly build a dragon's hoard of physical media.

This is a way better way of expressing it than I've seen before. It's mathy, it's clear, it's easy to remember.

Anyway we took way longer to say something similar in this one: Ask the Bitches: How Can I Absolve Myself of Financial Guilt Over My Pricey PS4?

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

Every time I suck ass at doing crafts, I tell myself: do not think about David Shrigley's piano dog. And every time, my brain tells me, whatever you say, dog.

The potato battery is a kind of Creature that can only be befriended by kind-hearted children trying to do their fourth-grade science projects

[ID copied from alt: A colored sketch depicting a creature based on a potato battery science experiment. It has a potato for a body, and its ears are a zinc plate and copper plate sticking out of the potato, with black and red wires attached to them with alligator clips. The wires wrap around the back half of its body and twist together to form a tail with a small, lit lightbulb at the end. Its legs are also made of wire. There is a patch of blue behind it against a background that looks like lined notebook paper. End ID.]

It occurred to me that I had in fact created a Little Guy so I mapped it on the chart from @littleguysdaily

[ID copied from alt: A stats sheet featuring the potato battery creature. Its skill is listed as "science fair." It has 3 out of 3 stars in the Chuckability category, 3 in Engaging, 1 in Squishiness, 0 in Slorpability, 0 in Bones, and 1 in Media Literacy. End ID.]

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

The more the merrier. The more the safer. Pride is an act of solidarity and a giant Fuck You to the people who want to erase us. Let Hetero Jessica have fun and also let her be counted as an ally. We will always need the allies.

And then later on maybe Jessica's little boy will be able to point out to her that he actually doesn't feel that good in skirts, thanks, and can he cut his hair a bit shorter next time, and Jessica will be Yes! Of course! because Jessica understands a lot better now.

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

what’s more iconic than this

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
