[video] first post~
[Ben looks directly into the camera, which is actually at a flattering angle believe it or not, and sighs. He also is new here but doesn't bother considering that fact. His wife is already making herself well known enough for the both of them probably.]
Look, I know most of you probably don't care, but the fact that the "magical wardrobe" [yeah, those are airquotes] isn't always precise? Is kind of a problem.
Take for instance, this calculator.
[He holds up something akin to the TI-83+, for those who took any kind of math in the 90s to 00s in modern, normal America.]
If you're from my time? This? This is an inferior piece of technology. No one wants this. What they want is the TI-89. Or, even better, a brand new Casio. But I would've happily settled for the TI-84. Doesn't even need to be the plus edition. [Oh boy, he's getting fired up now. Nerd alert.] Look everyone says that Texas Instruments were just scamming everyone when the 84s came out but that's not true. They did impressive coding upgrades. I mean, all you have to do is toss a polynomial function with asymptotes in there to see the difference.
[A long pause, as if he can hear his many friends back home and their iterations of how boring he is.]
Look, all I'm saying is that sometimes it matters what kinds of things you need. Some jobs need certain tools and specifics matter. And not just with calculators either.

[Do they even need fancy-ass calculators in Harvard? Who knows, it's the first collage that sprang to his mind. ]
Anyway, if you're expecting any magic not to fuck you over one way or the other, you're sure not used to it. It's a fickle bitch even when it doesn't exist in a crazy fuckin' world like Wonderland.
video in perpetuity for now
And nope. No experience with magic. It doesn't exist in my world. Some people have told me it's Wonderland messing with it, it's interesting that it's not reliable for everyone's home lives too.
heck yes welcome back
Ain't reliable where I come from, that's for sure, and it always comes with a price. Guess the one we pay here is our own fuckin' memories.
