Ffs America you’re supposed to be setting the example here

amazed at what a birch you are

That’s just an incredible play

In my defence I said “certain kind”. You must have met some. You tell them to press the green box that says [OK] and they just look at the screen confounded. You tell them to use their finger and they try and give it you back saying they don’t know how to work it.

I tried showing one VR, and they just stood there motionless saying it’s not working. I tell him “you need to actually move your arms, like you’re there, press that button in front of you with your actual hands” “what hands” “your real hands holding the controllers you need to actually do it like it’s real”. Stands there motionless for another 10 seconds. “No. It’s not working. It’s not doing anything.” Forget it. Come off the thing.

If there’s one of these people in the room Jackbox will quickly become a tedious chore.

Quick warning about Jackbox, older people may struggle. It’s incredibly simple, nearly foolproof, but there’s just a certain kind of old person who becomes completely toddler-esque useless around technology.

I still give the recommendation a +1 though. It’s cracking fun.

I always liked the idea of twitter but then humans human’d all over it. If everyone agreed to only use it for sensible things I’d love it so much. Useful announcements and updates and so on.

If I follow a singer for instance, I want to hear about concert announcements, album release dates and the like. I don’t want my feed filled with their opinions on global economics or hot dog condiments.

Mine is slightly similar. I’m back in school at playtime and in the sky you can see the planets lining up, each one slightly overlapping the next to make like a chain of them. The largest one like 3x wider than the moon, the smallest about moon size. I’m running around freaking out telling everyone and nobody gives a shit. The only person I can convince to even look up just tells me “yeah so what they always do that”. Then it gets nighttime dark really quick and I wake up panicking.

Twilight. My wife made me watch the first one and it’s actually got a really interesting world and hints at a lot of decent lore and possible content.

Then they fill the film with close-ups of their eyes meeting across the room for minutes on end.

That man fucks me right off. “Here’s how you can feed your family for a fiver”

Proceeds to use an entire fucking spice rack that’ll cost about 80 quid to get set up properly.

Does it count if I was high? If so this nonsense right here

I’m not stupid stupid, but I’m a lot less intelligent now than I was as a child. Not sure if that’s standard growing-up stuff or other factors. I think I’m average now, but I used to be really quite smart.

Whatevers to blame, it sucks. I struggle to remember names of people/things/processes, or things to do today. I go through the day based on vibes. I look at a page of information, or a tedious form to fill in, and it’s physically uncomfortable to slog through it. I can feel my brain groaning, there’s tension and anxiety in my body. Frustration that this should be so easy and instead I’m having to actually concentrate.
