  • I’ll usually eat a could wee chunks of an onion after I dice it up, and the other day I was surprised by how palatable the onion was that I was eating. Normally I enjoy eating a couple tiny pieces raw, but this was an onion I could see myself taking a big ol bite out of




  • Plus, all of my friends would effectively be dead if I took the red pill.

    My 30 year-old mind is not going to be able to get along with my friends when they were also six, and no grownups are going to want to be friends with me as a six year-old, besides pedophiles.

    It’d be a very lonely few decades, and no amount of stock exchange billions are worth that for me.

    I’m definitely taking the money now.





  • Marvel films are the popcorn flicks of the 2010s. None of them are masterpieces, but most are just a fun watch.

    But now they’re often not even that. Besides a few outliers (No Way Home, GOTG3), they fail to even be entertaining popcorn flicks. I’d say the line is National Treasure. If it’s better than National Treasure, that’s a solid popcorn flick. If it’s worse, then it’s not worth watching.







  • I remember once playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I was assaulting a medium-sized UFO, and I’d reached the front door.

    Hesitant to just run in through the front door, I sent half of my party round, so they could break the wall on the other side and flank the enemies inside.

    It took a few turns to maneuver my forces round the side of the UFO, and as I did so, an alien squadron spotted my three guys on the door, and they started blasting. With my flanking team still well out of range, I had to sprint them forward to help - right into even more aliens.

    My men got decimated. Six turned into four, then three, until only two men remained against well over a dozen dangerous aliens. And so remain they did. Thomas Bassoon and Eduardo Garcia were immortalized as legends that day, as they fought off multiple alien squads with just the two of them.

    When XCOM 2 rolled around, with a notable time skip, these were the two soldiers I grandfathered in. Two veterans, here to fight the aliens once more.

    Side note: In the tutorial for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, your squad of four is scripted to only have one survivor. Eduardo Garcia was that survivor.
