Grains of sand

He’s not trapped with them. They’re trapped with him.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day: The Linux Distro

You lost a lot of weight!

What movie is this from?

I’m scared that Elder Scrolls 6 will just be a settlement-building game will endless expansions and upgrades, lightly sprinkled with RPG elements.

Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes

To make sure the whole world isn’t just a window for the HR department. I can have “dissident” views, or just talk trash with my friends, and not get fired since it wasn’t at the office.

I don’t remember ever expecting much.
