@Alayanabeth @evenstvr and bam, I'd be a gamer.

@evenstvr It's so little to ask! A chance of doing great deeds, sure; but open plains, and streamsides, and Strider by the fire at dusk seem like perfectly reasonable expectations

all i’m asking from that new lord of the rings game is that i’m allowed to peacefully wander around on my horse. perhaps pick some flowers. perhaps even give aragorn a smooch

@ieatzebra I mean, I'll trade the broach for a library but if that's my fate sign me up.

@ieatzebra We've become too comfortable with crtl+alt+delete and crtl+Z

@ieatzebra I don't really get it either, but I think it's because it's such an instant shift, probably the only thing someone might change regularly (as opposed to say wardrobe doesn't cost much to try a new style at home) and can't be reversed immediately like washing off a makeup test.
