i normally look like i got punched in both eyes because i never sleep
good news: bags under eyes are actually largely genetical and there is nothing you can do about them. personally I enjoy mine since if I don't wear my glasses somewhere (people's ape brains literally trust people with glasses more for some reason, go figure) I can look like a meth addict and nobody will bother me

Flower shops are putting plant genitalia full on display and demand money for them.
when the heck did schmup become a synonym for bullet hell
Because after arcade-style schmups fell out of favor, Touhou became popular and so like how every game became like call of duty after it was successful, or half life before that, or quake, or doom, or wolf 3d, everyone's making touhou clones and it's filling the genre.

i just randomly played major stryker earlier, which is a pretty old one by apogee, and just got thinking about shmups
Is this how the kids these days pronounce that? I always read it as "don't at-sign me."
