An in-game text editor and addon authoring tool (Lua).

Keep notes with it, write Lua scripts, or prototype addon concepts in its trimmed down development environment. Organize your scripts into folders and share them with other _DevPad users. Scripts can run automatically on login like mini addons, and can call each other like libraries or dependencies.

An absolutely spectacular AddOn that I’m not sure I can live without.

Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice (2016) poster

A privileged white nerd-boy never got his patriarchy membership card, so he sets up the most powerful being on earth by using astonishingly advanced alien technology because astonishingly advanced alien technology isn’t good enough and he has to take down competitive patriarchy because something about good and god and evil and stuff.

This movie makes no fucking sense on so many levels, I may as well give it that fuckmenazi description. Characters don’t make sense. Motivations don’t make sense. Lots of action that didn’t need to happen, or happened in the wrong way.

A character that gets whipped up out of nowhere, who only the comic book nerds will vaguely recognize.. and not even understand. Does anyone think all the little comic book nerd boys always wanted to be a woman-superhero? Uh, no. So not popular. So having no explanation, she was dropped in as a deus ex machina. A hot awesome one, but terribly-written and disruptive.

Furthermore, the appearance of The Flash (who I had to look up), made no fucking sense whatsoever. It wasn’t even a deus ex machina, it was entirely unnecessary and confusing fluff.

Yet another bland superhero movie.

  • Properly titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
  • Yes, it’s properly titled Batman v Superman, because American theatre-goers know neither “versus” nor “vs.”.

Lately I’ve been making tea as a way to ritualize meals and add water to my diet, because Soylent tends to make the entire eating thing different.

I’ve had some terrible experiences with teas which would stain my teeth and upset my stomach with their “flavourings”, so I looked around to find an alternative.

Boy did I find a damned good one.

  • Dilmah makes a pure single-source Ceylon tea. No flavouring and no extra shit.
