What are the best games for playing animals?
Okay, now y’all are just trolling me.
I’m sorry if I’m being more negative than usual, it’s just that I don’t feel like I have anywhere else to vent right now
And I just found out that my depressed best friend has been silent because she’s been sinking too, I checked her Twitter and she’s been stealing wine from her alcoholic mother. I don’t know how to approach that situation.
Just the idea of having to study again makes me want to die. I think I’m finally crashing.
My first day of studying for finals was an absolute failure. I don’t think I managed to sit down for thirty minutes, and that only in five minute sessions.
I really don’t know if I want to keep studying this. But I’ve given up on so many things lately that I feel like this is the last thing that holds my identity together, and without it I could easily turn into a faceless NEET. Or the other option is to turn into a nine-to-five IT dude.
I’m getting help tomorrow. I can’t go on like this.
Steve Jobs’ Aquarium
“One of my favourite Steve Jobs stories was the time the engineers working on the iPod brought their finished prototype to him in his office. He said it was too big, they needed to make it smaller. They said it was as small as they could make it, it couldn’t be made any smaller. So he took the prototype over to his aquarium and dropped it in. The iPod sank to the bottom, and as it did, tiny little bubbles came out. ‘See those bubbles,’ he asked. ‘They’re air inside the iPod. Make it smaller.’
“Another story about Steve Jobs was when they brought the prototype for the iPad 2 to his office. The engineers told him it was faster than the first iPad. He took it over to his aquarium and dropped it in. ‘Look how slowly it sank,’ he told them. ‘Make it faster.’
“One time a newly hired intern had been sent out to get Steve a sandwich. When she brought it to him, he looked at it. ‘I thought I ordered the beef on rye,’ he asked. She told him it was indeed beef on rye. He took it over to his fish tank and dropped it in. ‘Does that look like beef on rye?’
“He was always dropping things in that fish tank. We couldn’t stop him. We told him he had to stop, he wouldn’t listen. It was full of stuff that shouldn’t be in an aquarium.
“The fish had all died years ago. One had been crushed under an early generation iMac. The others were all poisoned. He didn’t care.
“It got to the point where there was no room for anything in the fish tank. When we emptied it after he died, we found a body in there. We never found out who it was.”
I can’t believe that the same Doctor Who writer that made Blink made that episode with the killer robots that communicated through bootleg emojis

Concept: a video game set in a mist-shrouded small town next to a poorly maintained highway in the middle of a deep, dark forest, abandoned mine just down the road, the whole nine yards, with a robust creature creator that lets you develop your own bespoke cryptid… and that’s it. It’s basically a cryptid walking simulator – there are no specific goals. You can terrorise the townsfolk a bit if you want, but mostly you just lurk. There’s a social mode where you can set up a server and invite a bunch of your friends to your town to be cryptids and lurk together.
I’m a fucking idiot, how could I let myself believe that I can’t write fiction because I like static settings. I read Borges’ The Library of Babel. That story starts with several pages of worldbuilding and then it ends without any resolution. And it’s interesting all the way through.

The balls to try and pull that off with the professor of criminology, though.
You can tell which one’s really from a professor because the fake one has that professional sign off and the real ones end in “Sent from my iPhone”
