i used to follow someone who would reblog this post like 50 times a day and i tried to filter it but because i filtered it using the whole phrase i would see them all anyway but it made the whole post funnier to me so i left it like that and now every time i see this i smile fondly

Three centuries ago, Dame Silvia Hargonneux—a veteran knight of King Halevander Ferron VII—retired from the battlefield but not from discipline. Joining House Reinauld, she transformed the domestic staff by applying knightly rigors to household service.

What began as simple housework evolved into a formidable discipline. The maids became more than servants; they were highly skilled custodians and martial guardians. It was said that neither assassin nor filth could survive under their watch. The order was formalized when Amelia Hargonneux converted the Reinauld Manor into the first official Academy. Their legend was cemented during the raids of the Tyrant Rogan, where the Maiden soldiers single-handedly preserved several noble bloodlines. Today, the Corps are both an eltie force and a status symbol. Securing even one Maiden marks a noble’s power; hosting multiple squads ensures a property is both immaculate and impenetrable.

Thanks to some very eager fellow citizen scientists, I have now tested the new features pretty thoroughly and can summarise the new system as follows: wow this is dogshit.

Now, as to how it works and the specific implementations of the dogshiticity, here is what I have observed from initial experimentation:

OP will get notified of all reblogs, so far as initial testing has gone. This includes tagged reblogs, commented reblogs, and uncommented-untagged "silent" reblogs. This also continues to include reblogs-of-reblogs. The only place OP will be able to see this is in their activity feed, because there is no longer any single location to see all notes/ reblogs on a post. Nobody else will be able to see ALL reblogs.

OP will get notified of any replies directly to their original post. So if you chatter in the notes of the original, OP will see that.

OP will get notified of any likes directly to their original post.

OP will NOT get notified of any likes to commented subsequent reblogs, as those now form a "new" post. Anyone wishing to leave a like should click the like button on OP's section of a reblogged post, otherwise OP will not know.

OP will NOT get notified of any discussion in the notes on comment-reblogs, as those are discussions on a "new" post.

OP will NOT be able to find any specific reblog chain, because for OP the notes on their post will only ever show the direct-from-OP reblogs and never any subsequent ones.

OP will NOT be able to find anything in their notes, and the Activity Feed is not a reliable place to be able to go hunting for other people's previous reblogs.

OP will NOT be able to turn off reblogging on a post, so there is no way to keep a post contained if it takes off in a way you don't want it to.

Every chain effectively becomes a complete silo, unconnected to any other reblog and only barely connected to the original post.

We will NOT be able to scroll through the notes of a post and look for funny tags or interesting comments, because the notes are now wildly fragmented and there is no central reference point. So it will not be possible to look through the notes and see if a hundred other people have already said that thing you were about to say.

OP will NOT be able to do anything to stop a harassment campaign that fills their activity feed, but also will not be able to find any of it in the notes of their post unless the harassers reblog directly from OP every time. This is a feature which will absolutely be used to harass people.

It is also VERY unhelpful that we don't have language to easily disambiguate "comments" (as in, a reblog that someone added something to, thus creating a new post) and "comments" (non-reblgo chatter that happens in the notes). Not that we can reliably see either of those any more.

So! Now you and I are armed with this valuable knowledge about how the new system works, please go to tumblr's feedback form and explain why this is a series of bad problems that you would like them to stop doing.

In Mario Party 2, CPU players are so intent on stealing Stars whenever possible - even if they cannot carry them - that their boundless greed can actually result in the game becoming unplayable.

If CPU players have 99 Stars (highly unlikely during regular gameplay but possible with special setups), they will be unable to gain any more Stars and as such the option to steal a Star when visiting Boo will be greyed out.

However, no matter how many Stars a CPU has, it is programmed to always try to steal another Star as long as it has the money for it. As such, the CPU (Mario in the footage) will fruitlessly attempt to select the greyed-out option forever and not compromise to try to select anything else. This causes him to become stuck on this dialogue box, requiring the game to be reset to continue playing.

Was walking around town when I saw a perfect cotton ball of a dog with a big red bow around her neck standing outside a store with her owner.

Both dog and human reacted to Pocket Kibble as though I had performed a magic trick.

someone downloaded Boards of Canadogg and only Boards of Canadogg from me on soulseek the other day and i felt such gratitude and brotherhood i now think i should have sent them a message telling them how i have spent a decade chasing that track around the internet and redownloading around all the takedowns and dmcas and c&ds etc etc because it's just such a historic object

this file is so illegal it just bounces off a lot of file upload UIs on various websites. it just bounced off tumblr audio file upload for no reason, it's only 2.79mb. why is it so hard to find?

it has apparently been expunged from duckduckgo entirely

even on old forums it's wiped

it was the subject of a concentrated takedown effort for reasons that arent clear to me, but it is in fact a Snoop Dogg/Boards of Canada mashup by famous problematic actor Peter Serafinowicz (Darth Maul, The Tick, a shitload of british comedy, a bunch of more recent stuff i havent seen but is more famous, etc, you have absolutely seen or heard him in something). links to the file are consistently hunted down and removed, but im not sure by whom or why exactly. it has become a long term hobby of mine, for like 20 years now, to always make sure i have a copy and am actively spreading it around, not only because it slaps, but out of pure spite because **someone** doesnt want me to

abyway here you go
