i ran out of my crohn's disease medication a couple weeks back. coincidentally, i now know what the symptoms of crohn's disease feel like. also, i am experiencing an outbreak of shingles. i spent all day on the phone today, and learned i can't get health insurance until 2021.

this is an actual crime. circa-2008 i used youtube for two things: watching "i can't believe you've done this" and showing other people "i can't believe you've done this." youtube owe this man a reversal of this inanity AND a cut of all ad revenue across youtube's history

many critics in its day called KING'S FIELD (1994) a "DOOM Clone". DEMON'S SOULS (2009) began as a KING'S FIELD revival project. therefore modern games aren't "like DARK SOULS"--DARK SOULS is a DOOM Clone sorry! i don't make the rules
