Nightmare - Soul Calibur From the first game onwards, he was always my favourite as a kid. Not many games let you be the bad guy back then. Plus, c'mon... that character design is way too damn cool.

Donald's lead prosecutor is threatening Wikimedia, so I'm once again reminding everyone: YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ALL OF WIKIPEDIA FOR FREE, AND IT FITS IN AS LITTLE AS 6GB OF SPACE #trump #donald #wiki #wikimedia #wikipedia #censorship #datahoard #infohoard

If you see this and you're worried about censorship, you can download the entirety of Wikipedia for free. Different versions with full articles, just summaries, and with with/without pictures. Anywhere from 6gb to ~120gb depending on how much space you want to use. I'm using Kiwix, works perfectly!

Very proud of all my Canadian friends exercising their civic duty and going out to vote! Since WW1, more than 100k Canadians gave their lives in the fight against tyranny. Not just for Canada, but for people around the world. We honour their sacrifice when we participate in democracy. VOTE! <3

A few years ago when I was troublingly deep into Elite Dangerous (flight stick, throttle, the lot) I used an EQ to make it sound like Spotify was playing in my ship's cockpit, and had this moment where a song perfectly synced up with a hyperspace jump.

"And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split." "And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it." Lotta explodey stuff just sayin

Shouting into the void post: Can we stop using cringe nicknames for politicians we don't like? It's embarrassing in conversation when people drop "FELON DUMP!" and other grade-school-level derivatives. To disrespect him with class, just say Donald. No title, honorific, no family name. Be better.

I took a long drag of my cigarette, the rain beating down on my coat like so many reminders of the sins you try to forget. The half empty flask of bourbon in my pocket beckoned to me, a constant reminder of the empty apartment waiting at home. "Hey, chief. You're uh... gonna wanna see this..."

Pretty annoyed that the definition of "playing your trump card" has been effectively rewritten from now until the end of time. It used to be a great idiom, now it's just being a great idiot. #grammar #books #writing

The man was not without flaws, but he remains possibly the most influential science communicator in modern history, inspiring so many more to think and love and marvel at the world around us. We stand on the shoulders of giants. We must uphold their legacy. #science #carlsagan #books

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN
