the usual thing @diwyllian - Tumblr Blog

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

Imagine your old, weird manager who kept trying to be besties with you because you were a captive audience.

#having a servant is not like having a slave #its a job #bc those houses are too massive to take care of on your own #you need a team to upkeep the place #its no different than a hotel maid or housekeeper

@thatlittleegyptologist my most sincere apologies for inflict this upon your eyeballs, but I simply refuse to suffer alone

Bro put the Eye of Horus all over his car instead of the Eye of Ra. Cringe.

THAT'S the cringe part???

thatlittleegyptologist

Yes. The level of “complete wazzock” was already set by the fact that he’s driving the low-poly fascist mobile, and thus was not needed to be stated. The real cringe factor comes in when Mr Grand Turismo 1997 graphics here proclaims he’s Ra and can’t even get that right thus raising the wazzock level to “complete and utter”. Like if you’re going to drive the vehicle equivalent of Lara Crofts original rack, at least get your symbolism right.

my farming sim game will have animal butchery as a normalized part of the gameplay loop to act as a lightning rod to draw all the discourse and thinkpieces away from topics that would annoy me more

nemesis-is-my-middle-name

in my farming sim game that has animal butchery as a normalized part of the gameplay loop, shipped products will be sold on a weekly basis, not a daily one. you get a big windfall once a week and then you budget around that. if you want more money in the interim you have to go sell to the local merchants whatever products they specialize in.

in my farming sim game, getting married to one of the townspeople will have a significant impact on your gameplay. if you marry the rival farmer, their smaller farm will be merged with yours. if you marry the town alchemist/doctor you get a buff to all your alchemy and you wake up from getting knocked out in your own home instead of their clinic. if you marry the priestess she uh, idk she does weather related divine magic for you so you can choose the weather, idk i haven't thought too hard about that one yet

nemesis-is-my-middle-name

my farming sim game will have a MILF you can actually F

nemesis-is-my-middle-name

these tags are probably a joke but genuinely i do think that more games with romance candidates in general should require you to at least be on friendly terms with their family/close friends before they will romance/marry you. so yes. romancing the MILF will require attending her kid's pretend tea party first. to prove you mean business

My epic rom hack of nemesis' farming sim is this same level of introspection but instead of a farmer youre a little swis girl in the alps who has lost her milf

#im sorry to op but when you say milf i expect the kids to be teenagers at the LEAST #that lady needs to show some age #not another 30 year with a small kid #its not the same

cant believe i had to read, with my own two eyes, that someone didnt interact with anything monsters inc because it encourages abuse towards children

#imma lose it for real #what are people sniffing #pls talk to someone not chronically online

#one of its major sponsors is marroccan oil #i say it every time #its one of the first things you see when it starts #its not a mystery why theyre still in it

For all its flaws, I miss E3. I miss having a big video game expo to look forward to and often make fun of. These individual companies putting out a video showcase will never compare to the Unraveled guy nervously showing off his handmade Yarny doll on stage and capturing the hearts of everyone.

Like so many things, I think it’s the loss of community. A live, in person presentation in front of a live audience just hits different than a perfectly polished video presentation for everyone to watch solo. Remember when the FF7 remake was announced, and one guy in the audience screamed ‘THANK YOU!’ You don’t get that kind of thing these days.

#it was also easier to keep up with one major event #rather than all the different ones popping up all the time #e3 was also generally better for smaller titles

And what, pray tell, is so wrong with that? Must a king lower himself to the vocabulary of insects? Must an academiac explain his reasoning to kindergartners? There is no shame in knowledge nor is there in verbosity. Quite the opposite, they are to be celebrated. But I guess this is the world we are forced to inhabit. This world... This planet, teeming with life and all its infinite possibilities. And you would dare dilute it, so that a simpleton's mind could comprehend it? I will not stand for this. No more shall a man be judged for his might, his ambition, his intellect. No more shall we look down on those who propose a mere thought experiment about owning a human pec9sdjv0 c9i2ewokhndvoi adsjvci uwqeowdsxujvnli ufdsiuljfcniu ofeidcvjpc9nUIODSuljvniuwqopisafjvp985erioewaudJHB9jrg8frjuv8ar9jvuw08rd9vujq35g89spdujigk[0e9ravjik0rvu9jq54w8yvh r8og;af9ukjgmoiaelgurj9g8zboifyhvlo8fivujawp89 OC:Ivjare0sd9oizl

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”

elucubrare

#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”

REALLY endorsing these tags from galileosballs

#i have beef with everything i like #even my nr 1 game #its healthy!!

Dearden opens up about playing a “sweetheart,” growing up in Hollywood, and what’s next.

No shade intended at anyone romantically shipping them - I think they have potential to be cute as a couple if the writers take it that direction, too - but for anybody on the autistic and/or asexual spectrums, this kinda stuff is just really nice to see mentioned in press for a beloved and successful TV show. <3

#this is super cute but i once again sigh at the use of asexual #if its a lack of romance it should be aromantic #its not the same thing :')
