coffee scientist crawling back here to be fandom trash the fixations will vary by the day 32 she/they

[oh-hey-look-a-open-journal]

Honestly dont know if anyone else has seen this but lucretia and eva stratt parrallel each other a lot.

Like theyre both women in power being chosen to lead the fight against this world destroying terror resulting in them being stuck in this fucked up hypre trolly problem where they either have to kill millions and millions of people or effectivly kill the people they hold close, and both end up choosing to save the millions simply because there really isnt another choice they have.

Idk i think its really interesting and theres alot of good disscussion to come from it

[acidtheater]

"Halloween adults are just as bad as disney adults" "Furries are worse than disney adults"

I gotta be real, I thought we were critical of disney adults for aggressive loyalty to a really gross mega-corporation, or refusal to engage with media that isn't for kids, not because people... have hobbies?

as someone in my mid thirties living and dating in San Francisco I am fully on board that aroace Ryland Grace is canon because given the dating scene here there is simply no other explanation for him being single. A hot funny teacher in a sea of terrible tech bros. he should have a line out the door of dates. but he doesn’t want them. It’s the only explanation.

[lessthcn3]

Dr. Ryland mf Grace at Erid, realizing he doesn’t have to pay taxes, or his student loans anymore

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

all video games should have a “I’m shit at video games but I’m curious about the story and I don’t want to watch a let’s play” mode

[anotherpapercut]

I am

[anotherpapercut]

I made this post because I am disabled and no matter how much I practice there are some games I will never be able to play because I physically cannot move my fingers the way you have to and the responses to this post from other disabled people, people who grew up unable to play video games, and people who just aren’t very good at them has been extremely enthusiastically positive, while people who apparently can’t conceive of the idea that some people will never be good at gaming condescendingly comment, tag or send me asks telling me to try easy mode or to get good despite the fact that the feature I’m describing already exists in some games and mods. if you’re part of the latter group, consider that some of us can not ever be good at video games and we still deserve to be able to participate and have fun

[heart-sprout]

Ok, real talk, if you play PC games I use a program called Wemod that has settings for almost every game ever and you can change them to suit your needs Unlimited health? one hit kill? unlimited items? They can’t mod multiplayer games, but every genre of game imaginable is on Wemod so I use it for everything from stardew valley, subnautica, hades, farming sim and more! It mods the games to your level of ease without needing to mess with any files or get deep into webpages for mods yourself It is a life changer

[stevviefox]

FYI ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Only passing along as the only games I play are on my phone.

[random-nerd-queer]

Get an older sibling and have them play the game and you watch

[raevenlywrites]

One, this is older siblings who watch younger siblings play erasure, two that’s not the point. People deserve to enjoy the experience of playing a game for themselves. Watching someone play is fun. Playing yourself is a different kind of fun.

[beggars-opera]

There are so many reasons why someone wouldn’t want to be challenged by a game, and it’s ridiculous that people can’t fathom someone requiring a different gameplay than themselves. 

Back in the dark ages when I was a kid and we got our first computer, my dad noticed that I was sad because I wanted to play computer games like him, so he would let me play his games in god mode. Should a five year old have been playing Ultimate Doom? Absolutely not. Did I enjoy the shit out of it, particularly the part where I couldn’t die and could just wander around aimlessly machine gunning demons to death with no real goal in mind? Hell yes.

[gimme-the-gun-ill-shoot]

Also, no one should have to explain the reason they want to play the game in god mode.

That is absolutely none of your business, if someone wants to play the game with max items, weapons, armor, money etc., whatever reason they’re playing that way for. YOU, the anon on the internet have no business knowing or shitting on how they play. It’s THEIR game, and THEIR gameplay experience. and I hope OP was able to play their game the way they wanted to without being stymied by the games mechanics.

[strangelingincarnate]

Oh shit, I have something for this!

hehe nice

[leliwardens]

it is funny to see ppl tag this post as some sort of crit or joke abt veilguard and it's not exactly the point. i saw (with very little paraphrasing) these exact sentiments said numerous times, with all of them basically boiling down to "you are genuinely a terrible and dangerous person if you want to make fictional choices in a video game". so the joke is really more all of these demands and calls to remove this content was in fact, done in veilguard, a game that was panned by fans and flopped bc who would of thought not having those elements would make for a poorer experience lol.

[musicaltheatrewithanre]

This is probably for like three people, but if you liked Isles Of The Emberdark, you will like The Wayfarer Series by Becky Chambers.

And vice versa.

"I liked Sam better as the Falcon, Sam should have stayed the Falcon."

You liked Sam just fine while you could perceive him as nothing more than a white man's sidekick. now that he finally gets to be in a strong lead and he's the same witty, snarky character with the same morals, the same calm demeanor, the same presence, the same tactical mindset, but with MORE to him than one liners and being "the sidekick"... you mysteriously don't like him anymore.

truly, how weird. how strange.

The funny thing is that Mackie works with the writers to keep Sam CONSISTENT. meaning unlike some other characters whose values and sometimes even character traits fluctuate from project to project, Sam has a consistency that we don't see in all other characters. but that also means the arguments that he's "boring now" are nonsense. he's the same he was before - he just got more three dimensional, gets to express more emotions, gets to develop other relationships. with peope who aren't white.

and suddenly you find him boring?

uh huh... tell on yourself louder.

[bringthesauerkraut]

Not late night related but...

Sam Wilson is my Captain America.

Fuck everything else.

Anthony Mackie you deserved so much better than this.

[gooodmorningnightcity]

might be an unpopular opinion these days, but i absolutely believe that the cringiest unmodded pictures taken on console with characters resembling a very awkward attempt at kissing or hugging are still better than anything ai generated. stick figures kissing is better than any ai generated picture. you all were absolutely fine before gen ai was a thing. you will be fine without it.

What was your obscure chatroom/forum that you used before social media? Don’t say Gaia Online or Club Penguin. I’m talking obscure.

things ppl often get wrong in academia AUs (specifically ones in modern university settings with focus on graduate students & professors):

no one is spending enough time complaining about writing

hierarchy is wrong. your grad student TA is not a professor or faculty and might not even be considered an employee. that 32 year old man is not a full professor no matter how talented he is or how old you think 30+ is, and he should be talking more about "the tenure clock"

grad students only ever taking or TAing classes & never doing research or working on their thesis/dissertation. there are masters programs with no thesis component so i'm sure there are ones that have no research requirement, but you can't get a PhD only taking classes

everyone has too much money. but also if it's set in the US there's an obsession with accumulating student debt for positions that generally you would not have to take out loans for

relationship with academic advisor never sufficiently unhinged

not enough discussion of stats where it's obvious everyone only barely understands what's happening
