holy crap I totally have this

Task paralysis! Yes, I have it. Okay, no more excuses. I'm typing out lists for things I need to do from now on. -
Normally, I'm not much of a language cop
But use of the word "rape" to mean anything but actual rape makes me see red. Some people have to actually live with the threat of rape all their lives, so it's not some kind of abstract concept that can be handily used as a metaphor. For some of us, it's actually something we'd rather not think about unless we have to ( Read more... ) -
People need to learn that it's not just governments that can be totalitarian.
Honestly, it amazes me how little awareness most people have of the fact that oppression is not only perpetrated by governments. The phrase "corporate oppression" and "corporate tyranny" should be in the lexicon, and it's sadly not.
I give this as an example:

started playing Skyrim
It's a good game, but I find it rather difficult. I died about four times tonight. Maybe I need to put more points into health when I level up again. I'm a little unclear about how to level up properly in this game. From what I've read about Oblivion, it's best to simply level up as little as possible, because the leveling system is so weird and ( Read more... ) -
collectible card games
I don’t think I’m a collectible card games type of person, but I’d still like to find a gaming group that played other types of games. I’d love to find a Scrabble group, but the only one in my area only meets during weekdays. That doesn’t work for me. -
I guess I have 'feels' about people saying they have 'feels.'
That 'feel' would be one of annoyance. I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I have. It's so damn inarticulate. You say you have 'feels' about something, and that's the end of it. When people use this term, they don't say why they feel what they do. They just say they have 'feels' (usually in regards to some sort of fandom they have) and are ( Read more... ) -
mental, mental, it's all fucking mental
Playing video games has actually taught me a little about myself. It's quite interesting ( Read more... ) -
that elusive "click"
I can't really explain it, but I've tried a fair number of video games, but I've only actually been able to play through a very small number of them. My two very favorites of all time were the original Legend of Zelda and Dragon Age: Origins ( Read more... ) -
I love this guy.
In other news, today I was accused of "pretending to be weird" by a coworker. Am I insulted? Why yes, I think I feel insulted. -
Dragon Age stuff
I started playing Dragon Age: Awakening tonight on the normal level (I usually play games on the easiest level possible, so this is a step up in difficulty for me). I actually couldn't tell the difference between normal and casual level at first and I wound up defeating the big boss of the game (The Mother) on the normal level. I'm rather proud of ( Read more... )
