I just shake my head, in fear of initiating any other talk 😂

Speaking of coffee- they were offering free coffee at my station yesterday and I didn't know about it until late last night. The salt I had afterwards was unreal.

This one time during Honours, I managed to nab a free coffee somehow (honestly can't remember what the initiative was), and it was probably the best time of my life haha.

Nice! :')
Free things somehow always seem better than non-free things for some unknown reason haha.

Woah!
This is actually incredible. I never knew.

If you're wondering, that grid is called the Hoddle Grid, and is actually 1.6 miles x 1 mile.

At least it's more ordered than Sydney

Watching the gameplay for Detroit: Becoming Human and the graphics look amazing! Pretty grim interpretation of the future but at the same time, this game isn't projected too far into the future so it's kinda alarming :/

Walking into the school I'm volunteering at, and seeing my old year 7&8 coordinator and head of junior school/PE teacher and being recognised. Didn't expect this in the least 😂

My brother bought it and now I've played some of it aswell. I find it really interesting seeing the impact of even small decisions - whether it's a major or minor impact

I hope that the game leads people to consider how we treat people who we see as being different currently, differences between media portrayal and reality etc.

I love how the treatment of the androids is really reminiscent of the past- the apartheid, classic 'back of the bus' placement of the androids (like with African Americans), the revolution. It really reinforces how history always repeats itself, yet it's so relevant to present day because it addresses issues from the dangers of science and, like you said, differences in media portrayal and reality.

Aaand now I'm sad that DBH is gonna be PS4 exclusive ;-; (X-box user here)
Anyway, E3 started yesterday, and I soooo looking forward for the new Assassin's Creed Odyssey!

So I got a visa card yesterday (rather than eftpos) so I finally got spotify premium and I'm just sitting here skipping back and forth between songs and skipping where in the song I'm up to. It's been a while since I've actually had complete control over my music

Can someone please tell me why are quote memes these days split into two on Facebook?

[sweetiepi]

Having capslock matches with Rui is great fun

Can someone please tell me why are quote memes these days split into two on Facebook?

Probably has something to do with these "meme pages" trying to stop other meme pages from stealing their memes.

The rain here in Sydney has been absolutely crazy for the last few days- I'm getting a bit sick of it aha.
Had to come into work today drenched

the assassination of franz ferdinand as a DnD game got me in stitches and i wanted to share the humour

I have no clue if this is real but seeing Russian soldiers dancing to Rasputin  is probably the best thing I've ever seen in my life

Edit: The Alexandrov Ensemble was a legit Soviet army choir. The original song was different but props to this video for making it believable that these Russians were dancing to Rasputin.
