Today’s TTT is a freebie, so I’m going to go completely off topic with game screenshots that….well, leave a player asking questions. These are all my personal screenshots, from 2004 to now. (…I’m a data hoarder…) But first, a tease!
My problem with the disregard of the past that we typically manifest today is that we are highly selective in what elements of a historical person’s character we are willing to take seriously. We tend to consider only those elements that reflect the dominant concerns of our moment, which are not the only concerns that are relevant to human judgment. In looking at figures from the past, we behave, as Vance and Alexander suggest, rather like admissions officers at elite colleges and universities: We look for ways to send them to the reject pile. [….] But if Moby-Dick simply reaffirms our current state of opinion, why bother to read it at all?

These are all great.
Thanks for stopping by earlier.

I think I might be kind of scared to find out what all of these screenshots mean! I’m not much of a video game player.
Some of them were slightly staged (I deliberately wore the cop uniform into that biker bar to get a funny screenshot) but running into that man with the…body issue was a genuinely startling accident.
These are a ton of fun! I especially love the horse’s expression in the third from the bottom. Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!
Now I miss The Sims.
Thank you for visiting Long and Short Reviews’ post this week.

This is hilarious though! Thanks for dropping by my post!
Very interesting! I’m not a gamer, so I have absolutely NO idea what is going on in any of these. LOL
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

As a fellow data hoarder, I love this so much.
