Is there an industry term for the movie format in which the protagonist walks into another world and tries to escape, only to discover that the other world is actively fighting back and is keen on making them a permanent resident? I became a fan of a certain character from Spirited Away six months before I watched it for real, and I just finished watching The Cat Returns. Both of those movies follow this fish-out-of-water story dynamic, and I must say that it's one of my favorite genres!

I'm not walking out of this until I've secured my two rolls of tape!

Have you ever tried to write a story involving time travel? Great, now imagine a story scenario in which a character creates infinite inter-temporal duplicates of themself, all of them collimating on a single point in time. I can’t be entirely sure what happens when an infinite number of deified, grief-driven entities simultaneously lunge at a creature about to be killed in a landslide, but I’m certain that it wouldn’t end well.
I feel that I need to elaborate on this post. The liquid glass UI is normal, but the square buttons are a visual glitch. If this has been intended behavior, I wouldn't have had the Icelandic Waters narrate the post. This is what it actually looks like:
Icelandic Waters: “Man, the new iOS beta is lookin’ weird. I know they said they were going to take the UI in a new direction, but this is a little much…”

Yes, I know that this isn't it. There's plenty of post-game content left. I can tell that for sure, judging from what I saw the first time I encountered Arceus IRL. Also, I haven't found a susceptible target for any of those . . . things that should be put in the drawers of the dresser-stand that the TV sits on. For starters, a quick run of logic tells me that I have at least seven - maybe even eight - artifacts to find. For starters, I suspect I may have already found one before I was supposed to…
Last night, I had a dream that the two volume buttons on my phone had been replaced with configurable action buttons, and pressing the volume-down button would make the phone blast an EAS siren, contact emergency services, and display a pop-up asking for various personal information. And I decided to press it . . . several times! Oh, and the flashlight button on the Lock Screen had been replaced with a button that did the exact same thing. When your biggest fears are EAS sirens and accidentally pressing the ‘emergency’ button on the password screen, your subconsciousness makes some real wacky nightmares.
Back in the 2010s, when the 3DS was still in circulation, I made my first encounter with him. One decade later, I'm hot on his trail!
If anyone here managed to secure a Nintendo Switch 2, I have one formal request to ask of you: take a USB-C cable, plug both ends of it into the Switch’s two USB-C ports, and tell me what happens. Heck, run this experiment on every device you own with more than one USB port!
Out of anything I’ve ever seen built in Minecraft, this is my favorite. This is a floating structure in my family Minecraft creative world. It has at least eight different names posted in the doorframe, but me and my sister refer to it as the Wellspring of Garbage. Every chest in the ground floor contains an average of one item, renamed on an anvil to a humorous effect. It’s just perfect.

Icelandic Waters: “They laughed at me when they saw me watching the Mario Kart World tapes for the twenty-sixth time. Now who’s laughing?”
