たすけて！私のスマホのキーボードは日本語です！

Just kidding. Or at least, it's a joke now. My phone's keyboard was stuck in Japanese for a bit earlier, but I figured out how to switch it back.
 
Is "Bemused" a trope nowaday? an Inside Joke? For this entire week, I kept seeing "bemused" in place "amused" should be.

I would assume someone in a popular story used it in front of people who didn't know it means something different, and it just caught on.

At least it's not the literal opposite of the meaning.

Not sure what brought on your sudden noticing of it, but it's been a thing for a while.

I have been seeing it for years as well, at least since the pandemic started when I had a ton of free time to read, but this week, I was ambushed at least once per day, so its more striking.

Gregor stared at the nonplussed Jane. "Did you read the files?" He asked, bemused. "I perused them," she answered, feeling chuffed at his insistence on the subject. "Well, what do you say then?" He asked her, now curious for her opinion. "It's egregious, honestly..." she grumbled.

it's joined the glorious ranks of contranyms at some point :V
 
I've hit a new level of tacticool in Fallout 4. Got an FN P90 with 1 suppressor, 4 flashlights, 2 laser sights, an Outer Heaven sticker, and a big 'ol high tech night vision scope.

I'm just sad there's no bayonet I can get on there too...
 
If you are in a Monstergirl setting, and there are Goddesses in it who are real, Goddess should be considered as just another very powerful species of Monstergirl like Kitsune or Alaraune, until proven otherwise.

No, I was just messing with the P90 at a workbench and noticed that it had an option to add four more rails to the gun, so I went for it. I mean, why not, right?

Sadly, while it does have one flashlight produce light when I hit the light button, it doesn't actually use all four.

Also, I think it's bullshit that no gun in the game or in any mod I've seen lets you have a suppressor and a bayonet at the same time.

I invested perk points in gun bashing because I like hitting people with the gun and/or bayonet.

Bayonets are more fun IMO, but I do enjoy beating fuckers to death with a gun too. Especially with guns like the P90 which take a few seconds to reload.
 
I need to stop putting reaction content on as background noise. Two nights in a row now I've had strange and erotic dreams about Mrs. Movies from You, Me, & The Movies.

I mean, she's not bad but I'd prefer other stars for my erotic dreams, y'know?
 
One of these days, I'd like to try an erotic dream.

Or, hell, even a scary dream. Just for the novelty of it.

But, no, I always have this weird sort of detachment in my dreams. Like some part of me aware that none of this is real. There's no weight to my steps, I can't feel anything I touch. Whatever I'm doing, I always feel warm and comfortable and at rest.

I may not be aware I'm asleep, but it feels like I'm watching a movie rather than being involved.

And the incongruity between what my body's telling me and what my dream is trying to portray wakes me up every time.

Except when I need to pee. That feels very real. Fortunately it also wakes me up.
