>>150634021>SUNNYSIDEUPRight after reading this, I scrolled through /v/ and someone posted a picture from a game called Little Witch in the Woods. I played the demo once, so I decided to check on Steam whether it's finally out of Early Access and released properly.And when I did, pic related. (It's not out of EA yet, by the way.)How does this happen so often? You hear a word and think to yourself "haven't heard this word in years", and then on the same day you see/hear it again, from a completely different, unrelated source.Alas, the sunny side is down.

>>150635060>>150646383Baader Meinhof phenomenon/frequency illusion
Bacher zested himself very nicely here. He had to do it himself, because McGill is pretty bad right now.>>150647610>illusionAh, the Faaget Meingott phenomenon also known as "if I can't explain it, I'll call it an illusion/mental illness".I'm rather particular about words and even people in foil hats could envy my power to Notice in that area. There's simply no way I'm imagining things.
