Well maybe if Video Game Blacksmith had a better business model, he wouldn’t have this problem. You want my money, don’t try to charge me 37 gold for a piece of armour that I encounter every time I open a chest. I don’t even bother to pick it up anymore, because the market’s flooded– hell, if I try to sell it to YOU you will only give me 2 pieces of gold, and that’s not worth hauling around 12 pounds of steel plate. Oh, sure, you’ll stock that “cool” piece now that I’m level 20, but I already took one just like it off a troll under a bridge. By the time I’m level 22, I won’t even think of it as a cool piece anymore and I’ll be sick of seeing it in chests. I’m really hazy on your marketing strategy, Video Game Blacksmith. Are you refusing to sell me the good stuff up front so that I will constantly be giving you money to upgrade to slightly-less-shitty armour? Like planned obsolescence? Or did you conclude that because a piece is lying in half of the chests in the kingdom now it must be a hot seller? That chest piece right there? I found a better one that that last week on a wolf. Not a direwolf. Not a possessed wolf. Like, a wolf. You know, the dog equivalent of the racist grandfather. I’m don’t know why he was carrying it– or the 15 silver, for that matter– and I have no idea HOW, but you’re selling shit that even wild animals are carrying. Fuck your “Millennials are killing the video game blacksmith industry” and make me some shit that’s gonna help me with the dragon I gotta fight on Tuesday. ‘Cos you know as soon as that dragon’s ass hits the ground, you’ll be stocking stuff I really could have used in the fight, and I’ll be pulling something out of his corpse that’s better than anything you’ve got in the store.
This morning, an active shooter at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill murdered at least seven people, possibly more. Two responding officers have been wounded as well. The killer has not yet been apprehended and police are asking anyone in the immediate area to stay indoors.
Please keep Pittsburgh’s Jewish population in your thoughts, and continue to demand stronger action to keep weapons out of the hands of those who would commit hate crimes.
If you are local, the Central Blood Bank has experienced shortages recently and will surely benefit from your help. If you are able to donate, especially if you are a rare blood type, please go in and do so asap.
Things I like about this decal on a restaurant window:
-the insane orange waiter
-that he’s carrying his plates in the air like a strongman
-the couple looks like this isn’t the first time he’s done this, but it’s easier to just let it happen at this point.
-the sign says PASTA as if he’s screaming it like a frankenstein
-but he’s holding a plate of an entire chicken and a plate of wine glasses
-there’s three wine glasses
-one’s for him.
*hits blunt* a lot of trans people didn’t actually know their whole lives that they were transgender. plenty of us, with no frame of reference or proper education/exposure to LGBT stuff, had to go through a long process of self reflection and learning and experimenting first before finding the identity that most suited us. the narrative about always having known is real and valid for others, don’t get me wrong, but it also seems to be the one most easily digestible by cis folks who are reluctant to think about the countless different experiences of unique trans individuals
