Discord now has threads!
Discord continues to evolve and cement itself as a valuable communication tool and today it gets a new Thread system. It's kind of like a side-conversation that can happen based off of one line. Discord recently added replies, which although useful for keeping track of who was replying to what, can often create a bit of clutter. This new Thread feature should prove to be quite handy when you want the main conversation to keep going and don't want to derail it with a tangential chat.
Your daily dose of sudoku
Palindromes in a sudoku is another step up from the usual.
Ocarina of Time is an excellent title
This video is worth a watch if you're a fan of the harrowing N64 title.
Movies based on Shakespeare are all the same
I love when people are like “did you know this movie is actually based on Shakespeare” it’s like yeah I think I was tipped off when the 15 year old in Ohio is named Petruchio and attends Hamlet Regional High School and plays soccer for the Fighting Jesters or whatever the fuck

It's like seeing the same NPC around each corner in GTA.
I don't think this is a common trope anymore
i'm a prison guard. when i sleep i go "*snorrrrrrrre, mimimimimimi*", my biggest fear in life is someone stealing the big ring of keys i keep on my belt

Maybe back in black and white silent films.
Let's all argue

Nothing like a good argument. Oh, wait. There is.
I was just reminiscing about Rollercoaster Tycoon
Can’t stop feeling guilty about all of the OSHA violations I committed while playing roller coaster tycoon ten years ago
