I already posted this on Twitter, but I might as well share it here. :)

[synthient]

absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter

[ask-maxie-boy]

People say that old games dont look as good as they remember

Its because they legitimately dont.

[crtter]

The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:

Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!

[bogleech]

I somehow did not know this!?!?!?

[triplebackflip]

One of the clearest examples of this is using the effect for transparent waterfalls in the MegaDrive Sonic games

[hive-heart]

My absolutely favourite example of this is with Dracula's eyes in Castlevania

Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

Deaf Characters:

Deaf characters masterpost

Deaf dialogue thread

Dialogue with signing characters (also applies to mute characters.)

A deaf author’s advice on deaf characters

Dialogue between deaf characters

Mute

Life as a Mute

My Silent Summer:  Life as a Mute

What It’s Like Being Mute

21 People Reveal What It’s Really Like To Be Mute

I am a 20 year old Mute, ask me anything at all!

Blind Characters:

The 33 Worst Mistakes Writers Make About Blind Characters.

@referenceforwriters masterpost of resources for writing/playing blind characters.

The youtube channel of the wonderful Tommy Edison, a man blind from birth with great insight into the depiction of blind people and their lives.

An Absolute Write thread on the depiction of blind characters, with lots of different viewpoints and some great tips.

And finally, this short, handy masterpost of resources for writing blind characters.

If you have any more resources to add, let me know!  I’ll be adding to this post as I find more resources.

I hope this helps, and happy writing!  <3

Transcript: The dude playing Portal 2 stops in front of a conversion gel pipe and says “Hey, can someone follow real quick? *snrk* Can someone who isn’t following me just follow real quick? You can unfollow right after, I don’t even care.”

Deep voice clip: “COME.”

Dude: *starts laughing* “Thanks-”

DVC: “COME.”

Dude: *laughs harder*

DVC: “COME. COME.”

Dude: *laughs even harder* “Only one of you had to do it for it, for it-!”

DVC: “COME.”

Dude: *squeak-laughs* “Thanks, ‘preciate it.” *chuckles a bit more*

A soundbyte of Kirby’s victory dance plays in response to the superchat.

Dude: “Hoo, fuck.”

The superchat is read in a feminine text-to-speech voice: “Come.”

Dude: *starts cackling uncontrollably, is cut off by the end of the video*

Alright, so tumblr staff is acting like as if we tumblr users have enough money to pay other tumblr users.

tumblr forgets that their user base is basically just a bunch of alley rats huddled around a slice of cheese

[drekasal]

…shit, now I want to draw this.

[drekasal]

OK, THIS IS REALLY ROUGH AND SHITTY, BUT I WANTED TO GET THIS OUT HERE

[huffylemon]

this is exactly what I envisioned when I made this post. Perfectly executed.

[pauliedraws]

It’s been five months since I animated anything for fun, and I’m so happy I got to animate something that I wrote. Thank you to @themornal and @8edhead for providing the voice work for this clip, you guys knocked it out of the park and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. 

Also if you notice that the character look different from how I used to animate them, these are completely different rigs. I love working with them!

I love this video so much. This cat, trying so hard to sip like a people. Desperate to sip like a people. Objectively incapable of sipping like a people.

[lady-byleth]

Okay but you know what this tells me? That this cat really loves its owners. Cuz like, cats mirror us when they like us. That’s why they hang out on laptops. They want to do what we do because that’s how they show affection. So this cat saw its human drink like that…and decided to do it too cuz but it’s hard so it keeps trying. That’s love.

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

[feels-for-the-fictional]

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

[marzipanandminutiae]

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

[ineptshieldmaid]

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

[squeeful]

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

IT GOT SO MUCH BETTER.

[farrentalon]

My reaction, only with coffee.

[thetiredpianist]

Hang on, need to send this to my literature prof

[gravelgirty]

Purple is prose and as we all know

English is not a tongue neat.

Words are alive, and flexible, they jibe

And from our sick brains they meet:

Rhyming with purple to the lexicon burgle,

And remember there’s more than just herbal

We can color–empurple,

(Alternatively impurple )

And we can also enrage! Bepurple!

You can’t ride a horse without a good curple

Or you’ll fall and then walk with a hirple.

Don’t forget plurals, for varied are purples,

and besprinkle–that’s called disperple.

Even rarer are names

Although that seems strange,

Recall Burkel, Myrtle, and Urkel!

Watch out for the gods

Like Akkadian Nergal

You don’t want your blood to go curdle!

A husky is curtal,

And if unspayed is fertile,

But never as much as a gerbil.

With clothes we have kirtle

And don’t forget girdle

Or how babies will gurgle

I think we could keep going in circles.

[gravelgirty]

Reposting this because a buddy was looking for ‘purple’ words this week.
