every time a celeb does something awful, without FAIL i’ll see people make the “at least we have hozier, at least x is still good” like ??? when will y'all learn? none of them are safe. you don’t know any of them, they are not your friends. stop putting people on pedestals.
Now you listen to me, James Hawkins. You got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls! And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails, and show what you’re made of… well, I hope I’m there, catching some of the light coming off you that day.
Happy Pride Month y’all!

Been playing some Mass Effect Andromeda recently and Jaal makes me smile. ♥
Me reading your tarot cards: "Okay, I have drawn the Empress, the Queen of Discs, the, uh.... jack of diamonds, blue eyes white dragon, a couple of Swamp lands, and Pikachu."
I place the Knave of Swords face down in defense mode and end my turn
how come there are dishes to be washed every time i eat something. i can’t stand this everyone is out to get me.
Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.
It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.
This post got me to stop playing Overwatch and I’m eternally grateful.
That’s also a core difference between a game trying to exploit the human brain’s tendency toward gambling addiction and a game that exists to entertain.
Like, it may sound like I’m reaching, but op described (pretty closely) the operation of gambling addictions. It’s also why the depression aspect is so real. You’re feeling a withdrawal, of a sort, when you can’t play the game.
Seriously, keep an eye out for this stuff!
