  • i also just played five nights at epstein’s. for a couple of minutes anyway, i couldn’t be arsed to figure it out but the instructions are funny at least. excerpt:

    Night 3 – Stephen Hawking

    He remains stationary at Camera 6 and is immune to all audio lures

    Task: You must electrocute him

    anyway there might have been a crumb of something in this beyond think-of-the-children, as we expect parents to monitor their kids internet use at home, so it’s reasonable to expect access from school computers to be monitored similarly. but the school did that, they’ve blocked it now, what else do you want from them? it will get hosted elsewhere, they’ll add that to the blocklist too, life will go on and there’ll be some other thing to be pointlessly outraged about

    can anyone help me understand the point of comics like this? this is a common sarcastic comment found all around the internet. what is the appeal of writing it above a cartoon mouse and releasing it as its own thing? why should i be sure to check out ig_doods on instagram dot com?


  • you know what, you made me doubt myself here so i had a quick search and found various opinions including that the accent is shit on purpose as some kind of satire. thankfully this is bollocks:

    How did you arrive at Billy’s cockney accent?

    It’s kind of the perfect storm because you have a British character, played by a New Zealand actor, written by American writers and in the first season I had a Canadian dialect coach. At the end of the first season I identified that there was certain elements of authenticity that could be improved, so I brought in Andrew Jack, who was one of the foremost, world-class dialogue coaches. I had first worked with him 20 years ago on Lord of the Rings. He came in and we significantly improved the specificity of the dialect and he was able to contribute more colloquialisms to give that character more authenticity and I was super excited about where we were going to go, but really tragically he was one of the first victims of the pandemic, he was working on The Batman and he passed

    far be it from me to speak ill of the dead but it did not work



  • i tried to look up the case but only get loads of results for fritzl

    what age was his daughter? was he popping viagras and crying ‘this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you?’ i would previously have thought that being able to maintain a boner long enough to rape your own daughter (assuming prepubescent) makes you a paedophile. but having just read the ‘primary or exclusive’ bit of the definition i don’t know what to make of it


  • agree with all of that except the exclusive bit, i’m going to go with the wikipedia definition

    a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children

    which presents a problem for my point, doesn’t it. if you are attracted to children, but not primarily, what are you? a semipaedo? if you only ever told one lie, it doesn’t make you a liar. that is acceptable, even obvious to me. but you only fucked one kid so you’re not a paedophile? i can’t get my head round that
