the worst thing about seeing gifsets before actually playing/watching the game is that when you finally do the voices all sound Wrong bc they're not what you hear in your head. I haven't actually SEEN Thief gameplay yet but I heard Garrett has Mercer Frey's voice? and I just cannot fucking picture it. the gifsets make me think a low, deep voice, not whatever the fuck that VA has going on XD

Stephen Russel was the VA for the original trilogy's Garrett (aka Garrett Sr), whereas the 2014 game's iteration (Garrett Jr) is Romano Orzari.

I definitely can't imagine Jr with Sr's voice, it just wouldn't match at all XD

sup

sup! not much, dustbup, but now that I've come up with the nickname dustbup, things have progressed from 'not much' to 'hehehehehehehe dustbup'

Also, my friend, all these years later and your icon still never fails to make me smile. Beautiful. Perfect. Undisputed happiness.

Hey! I'm writing a fic and there's a scene where someone's in the house of two Catholics. I'm just wondering, other than the obligatory crosses and stuff related to the Virgin Mary, what kind of things might be lying around that a Catholic might keep? Anything related to the saints, maybe?

Rosaries! We always have tons of rosaries. I have at least 4 in my apartment.

Scapulars are always on the body. Sometimes green scapulars are hidden by a friend somewhere in the home.

You might find St. Anthony’s medallion on a Catholic’s keys. Or a St. Joseph statue in the freezer for someone wanting to sell their house (especially if it’s a condo without a lawn).

Otherwise, they’re just normal Christian homes.

How long have you had your motorcycle license for now? What's it like having a bike VS a car? I imagine it makes shopping a bit of a pain - or do bikes have more storage on them than they appear?

1. I've had my learner motorcycle license for about 7 months now. I plan on going for my restricted after I hit 1000ks and do at least one Ride Forever course and/or one-on-one lesson to make sure I'm doing things correctly.

2. Motorcycle riding is a bit like riding a pushbike but no pedalling and the clutch is your Roman Empire.

I can't speak to personally owning or using a car since I have yet to get behind the wheel. Definitely better for all-weather use and there are different costs involved.

Vehicle registration (rego) for Despechá (Honda CB125F) is just over NZ$400 a year, compared to my dad's Ford Mondeo, which is a bit over NZ$100. This is due to the much higher ACC levy (about $300pa on mine, I pay more in GST than the actual license fee component of my rego) on motorcycles due to the increased risk of injury/death riding.

Fuel-wise, bike is far more economical. A full tank from empty would cost about NZ$30 (11L tank @ ~$2.70/L for 91 unleaded) at the current fuel prices and gets me about 700ks. Would be about $100 to fill the Mondeo for a roughly equivalent range.

Full coverage insurance costs for both vehicles is about the same at about $400pa.

Parking can be a lot cheaper for motorcycles (free dedicated on-street parking). Have to go out of your way for free on-street parking for cars in the city centre. Otherwise, paying at least $4 for an hour of parking.

Gear can be pricy too. Helmet is legally required, and gloves are the bare additional minimum for many, but ideally, you'd have a jacket and boots, and maybe pants. If not to avoid road rash, then to avoid hypothermia in winter. Though it's up to the individual and how much gear they want to wear.

You do get to use high occupany and some bus lanes if you ride here which can make some commutes quicker.

3. I've become a lot more mindful of how much I can carry on the bike. There isn't much stock storage on mine. Only enough space to store her toolkit and spare manual under the seat.

I don't use my bike for a lot of grocery shopping beyond picking up bread and milk so a backpack suffices. Planning on buying panniers and a tank bag but that's becoming less for shopping and more for future travel plans.

Some scooters do have a lot more storage under the seat or on the steering column. It depends on the model.

bitch you see kangaroos every morning?!?!?!

Not when I'm in the city, but I stay at mum's semi-frequently for work and there's a few acres of paddocks here + whatever the neighbours have, which i imagine turns into an endless stretch of intermixed grazing land and undeveloped land. ie. kangaroo heaven.

So. there's just kangaroos!! ITS INSANE.

The craziest part is that after work, if I park like 10m away from the house (I usually do), then there's a good chance kangaroos will be hanging out right next to my car. I guess its part of their route between the scrub (safer) and the paddocks (more food).

So semiregularly, I just walk around my car and suddenly there is a kangaroo two meters away and we stare at each other in silent alarm for a bit until the kangaroo decides to hop away.

Beyond that, there are usually kangaroos visible somewhere on the property. They graze in the mornings then rest under a tree in the afternoon; its very cute.

[Video description: Two kangaroos in a paddock, staring at the camera. As the camera approaches, they hop away to join a larger group of kangaroos resting under a tree.]

I normally try not to disturb the kangaroos but I needed to go through this way anyway.

Waaaaait what's this about Hardestadt Dominating Jan? :O (Ignore this if it's too much, I know I can Google it but I like hearing it from you!)

Not too much! It was getting late here and I had to sleeps. 😴 

The fucker did!!! Jan hints at it during his conversation with Beckett, when he says he might not remember their conversation in 6 months.

And it’s one of the mind blown moments Beckett is working through later, on the way to Briar Rose mansion to rescue Bedelia.

The Storyteller notes spell it out more rigorously:

Yeah!!! Can you believe !!!! This is why when Hardestadt died in our San Andreas Nights Chronicle, I didn’t shed a tear.

Image ID under the cut for those like me who struggle with Beckett’s handwriting. I can add the others too, if those are difficult to read for others.

[Image ID: an screenshot of Beckett’s Diary. There’s a cut off yellow note from Lucita in the corner. The main body of text reads,

“Is Hopkirk just a lone émigré or the first in a wave of defections? And what is going on with Pieterzoon? Has Hardestadt’s absence given him that much room to operate? Is he hedging his bets by trying to forge alliances both within and without the Camarilla in order to get away from a sire who apparently maintains his loyalty through memory alteration? And what in God’s name is hidden in the Sabbat stronghold of Atlanta that’s important enough for such a daring insertion?”]

Reverse unpopular opinion: Eternal Hearts, for EXTRA HARDMODE.

@robotslenderman Oh man, you are so mean! XD

Well I have to say I really appreciate the scene where Jan is swimming naked in an aquarium and not only that we also confirm that he has a big dick but also he does indeed fucks.

And also Dick Keyring guy was also great.
