The "would you kindly" guy from Bioshock. A voice in my head telling me to do various random things that don't seem to be in my best interests.
Charles Miller@carl.fish · last mo.Robert Smith. He has absolutely no idea why he's doing this job, and gets increasingly frustrated and sarcastic about how boring my life is to narrate, until he is just listing things he'd rather be doing instead.
Just checked in on clearsky.app to see who I've been annoying, and i was blocked by someone who has blocked more than 10,000 people. TEN THOUSAND. I mean it's nice to have hobbies, but...
I've got to get my hands on one of these, it sounds amazing.
