Her coworker usually just hides in the washroom playing on her phone. Occasionally screams for my mom to come into the washroom to look at the funny picture she found on the internet.

Even if she wasn't obese, I don't think it would be much different. She doesn't wash her clothes often, if at all, wearing the same stained shirt every day for weeks on end, and her wig is more reminiscent of a rat's nest than actual hair.

She is thoroughly unhygienic in her habits.

That's something I noticed in my college days. Male friends were generally grubby, but more towards the average. Whereas the two downright filthiest people I knew were both women, and the cleanliest people I knew were also women. And you watch those reality shows on hoarders with decades of caked on filth in their houses, and they're mostly women too. Both those girls I knew were flatmates and after kicking one of them out I had to wade through literally knee-deep excrement in her room which had somehow accumulated over a few months. Men generally let things go because they don't prioritize cleaning up, whereas when you get grotty women, it's like they're training for the grotty olympics.

Come to think of it, those two girls were almost all of my sharing flats with college girls experience. Maybe I just had bad luck, idk.

To give you an idea: someone had broken into the house through a window she left often in her room, and they stole stuff plus vandalized stuff. She had a large fishtank in there, which they smashed, leaking green algae-water all through her carpet. Even having algae seeping through her room's contents didn't incentivize her to clean up, and when, months later, I kicked her out there was a goopy liquid layer under all her stuff. That room had strata with groundwater. It was basically an ocean of used plates with moldy food crammed under the bed and under piles of clothes, with a lower layer of water from a fishtank, the whole mess 1 foot deep and wall-to-wall, with her bed was like an island amongst it all.

I just had an Omegle experience where someone claimed to be Ariane Grande. I humoured them and started asking questions about her upcoming album.
Thing is, despite my initial assumption that everyone who claims to be anybody is lying, they didn't really do anything. I am now very internally conflicted as to how I should feel.

My guess would have been geology specializing in soils. You described a peat bog pretty well. :P

JUST realized who Cinder was before they were Cinder. HEYO Objective!

Also I choose to believe the name change was entirely because of that incident in my sigtext

It's so hot in my room I just woke up from a nightmare where I was trapped in a vertical cave tunnel, sealed at the top, with lava (and it was lava, because it had entered this cave from the outside and then rose up) rising from below. I don't recall the distinct sensation of burning skin to be very common in my nightmares. Anyway, I woke myself out of it when I realized that it didn't quite make sense and immediately had ice cream at 2 AM.

Has anyone felt like a setting is extremely elitist?

Like a children's show where ONLY the friendship of the main characters matter and when they break up apparently ALL friendship in the world just stops?

Or where ONLY their rather tenuous friendship, at the best of times, is powerful enough to do what thousands or millions of others failed to do because apparently they didn't want it enough?

I guess elite might not be the only term for it... I guess... incredibly small. That in spite there being an entire world out there... it is like the universe only exists for the main characters and anything that takes place outside their immediate surroundings is just set dressing.

Good call on the icecream. Can't think of a better solution to nightmares involving burning to death.

I think the word you're looking for is "self-centered".  That or "anime stupidity".  I swear, friendship is the theme anime writers go for when they have nothing to say.

Some poking around lead me to finding out about some... Phobos-2015 thing that existed for gzdoom. On it's face it seemed to be a texture pack.

That was... The most stupid thing I have ever loaded into my gzdoom. Stupid over busy practically all black and grey textures, maps defanged so badly even on high difficultys thanks to a really minimalist random spawner and super weak monsters, really stupid sound effects. Just...

It made doom feel like a cheap knockoff in the worst way possible. Like steam greenlight or xbox indie games level knockoff. That was a VERY unpleasant experience.

I kind of realized something...

I've seen a lot of fiction on half-angel half-demon things...

But what that almost ALWAYS amounts to is just some angsty child/teen/adult rather than someone who is legitimately torn because of their genes.

In fact... it is rare that fiction actually pulls it off in other forms as well. Belana Torres from Voyager for example, just felt like a rather violent woman rather then her "Klingon" genes seemed to drive her to violence.



Yes, but for a variety of reasons, voyager was also terribly written.  ALL of the characters delved into tropes relativity quick.

What would Doom be if not for shitty mods? Such is life.
