I was listening to some local BBC station on a whim and during one segment they played "Human" by The Killers which means now it's stuck in my head again.
Northumberland also happens to be the birthplace of English literature and home to one of the coolest (and unfortunately near-extinct) accent quirks native to the language.

i heard some v broad northumbrian accents cycling through rural northumbria. it was cool
i assume youre talking about lindisfarne there?? i rly want to visit there sometime but i never got anywhere near the east coast on my travels there
I was indeed speaking of Lindisfarne! And yes, those accents, particularly that one... apparently it only really survives around Holy Island, but it's ancient; Shakespeare referenced it. The one with the guttural R. It is a really wonderful accent.
and i am good, i am trying (and failing mostly so far today) to work on my masters dissertation which is due in 3 weeks....
Oh my oh my. What on? I know that is an overly broad question but I am quite curious.
it's about holidays & the afterlife in contemporary lit, so kindof presenting todays holiday as a sort of temporary afterlife, and looking at roberto bolano, coetzee, julian barnes, a few other texts, even a few ads/tv shows to illustrate that. also marc auge, who is fuckin cool and gr8, and a bit of zygmunt bauman here& there

Sometimes realism is fun, if it fits in with the tone and story of the game. The Last of Us is has a serious tone and story, and so realism is vital. But it is still a fun game and is in my Top Five games of all time.
Other times, realism is chucked out the window in place of just pure fun. Sunset Overdrive, for example, has no realism at all and is completely crazy. But given the tone and story of the game, and given who developed the game, it all works.
And once again, I may have lost my point amongst my insane ramblings.
So, I have $400.00 or so in the bank, and $250.00 in a jar (birthday money collected for my whole life).
Next summer, I get a job (I have to, money's tight). THis is my last summer of being ale to have fun and be free, and I wanted to spend that $250.
And now I'm mature enough that I'm going to use that money on a textbook. Man, I wanted to do something absolutely insane with that $250 of money, I've been saving it up my entire childhood and adult life.
Woooooooo, this is what it all lead up to.
Dangit, I wanted to buy hardcovers of JJBA: Phantom Blood and JJBA: Battle Tendency.
Or maybe buy fifty one-dollar games on Steam or Good old Games.
But it's not really my money, or, rather, I have to be a responsible adult.
If I'd known, I would have bought those things I wanted as a kid.

Aliroz, please, just rent the book off of Chegg or borrow it from the library or something.
No one should have to use their childhood dreams on a textbook.

Note that all these feelings of suddenly wanting to engage in experiencing some entertainment item never actually happen because I should be doing something else at the time.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
It's kinda funny how The Magic School Bus books included disclaimer-like explanations at the end saying how it's all fake.
The show did this too, at least in the original run...at the end there'd be a segment where an upset viewer called the producers and sciencesplained about all the stuff they fudged.
Sadly, they tend to cut this bit out in syndication to fit in more commercials...

Weird thought: there are Heapers (albeit not many) who are younger than Dolly the Sheep would have been if she was still alive
Like, they were just born and grew up in a world where cloning animals is known to be a thing that can be done.

Ach! Hope all improves! And I am currently in the lobby of a doctor's office, waiting for my sister.
A lovely place to be. :3
Wow. I am very intrigued!
this kinda scares me
Person B: Salmon bait.
Person A: That's right! What do you catch a cod with?
Person B: Cod bait.
Person A: Right? Now, what do you catch an eyemaster with?

When I try to make a soap opera, things work out too well.
When I try to play properly, things turn to shit.
Other times, realism is chucked out the window in place of just pure fun. Sunset Overdrive, for example, has no realism at all and is completely crazy. But given the tone and story of the game, and given who developed the game, it all works.
And once again, I may have lost my point amongst my insane ramblings.

I gotta go now, unfortunately. >_____>

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Yes, I like two of the same videos games you like.
No, I don't want to make an animated gif for you. Shoo.
