Enjoyable podcast that I like to listen to at the end of every week. I particularly like the video game and tv show recommendations.
All braided loops are 100$ so stop saying the pride edition one is particularly pricy! It’s the same freaking price!
Everyone is China, where I live, uses an iPad because the huge viewfinder is incredibly useful with bad eyesight. Stop poking fun of them
