The last Magdalene laundry closed in my lifetime. Homosexuality was decriminalised in Ireland in my lifetime. Access to condoms without a prescription in Ireland only came in 1985. We repealed the 8th. There's a lot of ways in which Ireland is still bad, but it is an entirely different country.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

The BBG review squad has been sequestered in the Dome of Questionable Games. When they emerge, if they see their shadow it means 54 hours of jank in September. It also means that if they don't see their shadow. Thanks for the amazing submissions everyone; we're thrilled at what we have this year!

Alexia just gave me one of the worst fights I've ever had. If she didn't mess things up I would have had my target time. HUGE PB ANYWAY AT 1:40:08!!! 9 Seconds away from the 1:39s

'OverBlood' released on this day in 1996. A glacial-paced PS1 survival horror set in an frozen-over research center, with an emphasis on puzzles and platforming over combat encounters. Dripping with atmosphere and packed with wonderful character moments, but plays like a chore.

found this guy's sound cloud literally has a reupload of a Pantera song so this is just like actually full on a scammer lol how does youtube *still* find itself being exploited by this kind of shit
