anyway the thing about Ratthi and Gurathin is that I could get behind them as a Thing but literally the only version that works for me is Gurathin being So Fucking Mad that he could bite through METAL because it's sooooo stupid that he did the Most Basic Thing imaginable and got a stupid lil crush on the Hot Nice Guy from work that everybody wants to fuck. oooooh wow Gurathin that guy is hot and nice and now you want to touch his junk about it??? groundbreaking. inspiring. idiot. obviously he'll be taking this to his grave. and meanwhile Ratthi's acting like the girl from a horse girl movie. going pspsps with lil sugar cubes. trying to lure Gurathin to his polycule board game night.

Ratthi isn't even doing it with Intent he just thinks Gurathin needs more enrichment but every time he's like oh hey wanna get a smoothie after work :) no pressure :) only if you're up for that haha :) Gurathin's going oh fuuuuuck he's trying to seduce me 🤬

and he knows the rules!!! he knows all of the weird rules and how to set up the board and what the weird little tokens are for and he's keeping track of points because he has to have a Task to alleviate the inherent mortification of being invited to your hot nice coworker's polycule board game night so now he's just. Gamemaster Gurathin. everyone loves him, invite him back!!! Ratthi thinks he's just discovered a previously untapped passion for game night that no one has ever figured out but Gurathin is in HELL. fighting for his life trying to keep track of the points in Sci-Fi!Wingspan and update his spreadsheet where he's trying to figure out how all of these people are involved with each other. Murderbot keeps hacking in to make annotations because it's desire to watch Gurathin suffer slightly outweighs its distaste for romantic and sexual relations.

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me

honeyfaer

i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

In 1997, local television in Kharkiv accidentally filmed one of the most iconic rave moments in history.

today's episode of 'what the fuck is youtube recommending me now':

a video titled 'Can you beat Pokémon Ruby with only LANDORUS?'. I see the title and say to my wife 'it would be kind of funny if the answer was just "no, because Landorus isn't in pokemon ruby"'.

my expectation, to be clear, is that this is someone modding pokemon ruby to include Landorus and then doing a solo playthrough in the manner of any number of other pokemon challenge youtubers. My wife and I have an extended discussion about which pokemon you would expect to have problems soloing an entire main series pokemon game, assuming you hacked them in as a starter and allowed HM mons that don't participate in fights.

I notice the length of the video. It's 28 seconds long. I think to myself "wait, is it really just that joke?". I do not click on the video. I put the matter out of my mind until the next day, when I see it again.

Curiosity gets the better of me. I click through to the channel, "Impossible Game Challenges Daily"

someone has been posting a video every day with the title "Can you beat Pokémon Ruby with Only X?" for every pokemon, in pokedex order. As far as I can tell (I haven't sampled that many videos), almost all of them are near identical: A voiceover starts narrating the premise of the challenge over the first few bits of gameplay (sped up), until they reach the starter selection screen. The voiceover tells us: "Everything goes pretty well at first, but we run into a slight problem when we have to choose our starter. It turns out X is not actually an option in this game. Looks like this challenge is impossible."

The audio is the same for every video, with just the pokemon name very obviously edited in. every pokemon is declared to be the author's favourite pokemon.

there are compilation videos for all the kanto, johto, hoenn, and sinnoh pokemon. the unova one will be releasing soon!

(you might have the obvious follow-up question: since every challenge is declared impossible at the starter selection screen, what are the videos for treecko, torchic, and mudkip like? well, they are slight deviations from the formula, although still about half a minute in length. torchic and treecko declare the challenge is impossible because you need surf to progress and neither of them can learn it. mudkip declares the challenge impossible because at the weather institute you are given a castform, and so your party isn't just mudkip)

also, yes, you may have astutely noticed that's despite the title talking about pokemon ruby the thumbnails show the box art for pokemon sapphire

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

This video is a perfect demonstration of just how badly elderly people need to be introduced to video games. Like it should be a thing in facilities and assisted living, it's like a no brainer, and could enrich these people's live SO MUCH!!!

Someone probably already said this somewhere in the notes, but it is critical that we end the stigma of video games being brain rotting wastes of time. The controlled mild stress of playing a video game is actually very good for staving off the onset of dementia because the snap decisions necessary while playing them keep the brain active and focused, as opposed to just passively taking in information like you do when watching TV or even reading a book to an extent.

Video games could keep people cognitively coherent for a longer time. This means they could literally keep families communicating and connected for a longer time. And yes we could use more than just Wii Fit and Wii Sports at nursing homes because those are less physically accessible than video games that don't require motion controls.

"ohh my god you can't just-"

Am I yours to command? Does the collar 'round my neck have your name on it? I kneel to no king nor god, and I see no crown on you.

I may choose to kneel recreationally.

honestly kudos to Elementary for gender swapping John Watson in what we all thought was an attempt to make johnlock palatable to the masses and then proceeding to not only make them entirely platonic but also become the ONLY modern adaptation where i actually feel like them being platonic makes complete sense

At no point did I expect what he was making. I think I just assumed it was book binding?

Lads, he is not making a book.

ygmtwr-atrus

I know enough about book binding I assumed he was making a belt, or kink gear? But that is NOT what he is making.

Good bitch, I'm glad none of your people have an ounce of loyalty to you

does that suck, mark? is it not fun to have your privacy violated? do you feel uncomfortable with people knowing things about you that you'd rather they not know? tell me more about how much you value your security and privacy, mark.
