Panel 1: A doctor holds out a small box to Calvin. Doctor: "Put Your Right Hand In The Box."
Panel 2: Calvin: "What's In The Box?" Doctor: "Pain."
Panel 3: Calvin: "Why Are You Doing This??" Doctor: "An Animal In A Trap Will Gnaw Off Its Own Leg To Escape. What Will You Do?"
Panel 4: Doctor (off-screen): "No Need To Call For Help. Your Mother Is Behind That Door. None Will Get Past Her." Calvin's mother is seen sitting in a waiting room, reading a magazine.
Panel 5: Calvin's mother hides her face in her magazine, reciting: "I Must Not Fear. Fear Is The Mind-Killer. Fear Is The Little Death That Brings Total Obliteration..."
Panel 6: Mom still hides her face. Calvin (yelling from the other room): "No!! I'll Never Cooperate, You Hideous Bug-Eyed Freak! Never!!"
Panel 7: Calvin's mother reading. Calvin (yelling): "You Can Contain My Body, But You Can't Chain My Spirit! Walls Can't Confine It! Laws Can't Restrain It! You Can Try To Leave A Message, But My Spirit Screens Its Calls!!"
Panel 8: Calvin screams "Aaaaahhhhhhh", shocking her into knocking a chair over.
Panel 9: Calvin's mother stands, asking, "What Did The Reverend Mother Say?" Calvin, walking in looking traumatized, replies, "All History Up To This Point Has Been Spent Preparing The World For My Presence."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4djfp3b27soxcfkxhirydi6d/bafkreidzykfvvulpqucas5mnkzxoc7rsylwkpj5dwtlxz6rebforw6mmou)
tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber
I will say, First Light has one of the biggest guffaw moments I have had in a modern video game. People forget how much of Hitman was a comedy game and 007 carries that forward.
the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
If you're wondering about my thoughts on Pragmata....
JERRY: Transporting nitroglycerin? GEORGE: That’s right. JERRY: In run-down old trucks? GEORGE: Uh-huh. JERRY: What if we hit a bump? GEORGE: We drive slow. JERRY: Yeah? Who’s driving? KRAMER [entering]: Hey, Jerry! Just picked up a great job from that oil company boss.
