yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she canât even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that sheâll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say âsuch a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone elseâŚâ and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-
did she just win.
I shall prepare a stew for the wedding! Extra salt!
wait wait wait stew goblin wait
get ready for the wedding
one year into the marriage
what do you wanna bet that like in a year from now when theyâve fully either canceled or removed every change made for overwatch 2 they just make a big thing out of making a big update going back to calling it just Overwatch. and itâs a whole thing, nostalgia bait and all, complete return to form. i donât think thatâs even that out there honestly

CAFETERIA SHOWDOWN! from fhjy ep 14!
Twitch Streamer Mary Ann Skuttle AU
She almost exclusively plays video games, tho sometimes she reviews the quality and cuteness of plushies. Sometimes she updates people on her quokki pet's level or how her personal AC Island looks, or her longest running Stardew Farm. (Maru IS her favorite Stardew marriageable NPC because it reminds her of her "loser boyfriend".)
Sometimes she gets her friends to play games with her on stream, or they're just in the background hanging out. Once when a game comes out that Mary Ann is legit excited for (in her own way) everyone gathers in a little watch party in the background with snacks as they settle in for the Marathon stream about to happen.
If she misses some streams she probably tosses out a simple update about her and her friends being on a quest or something similar that she implies is kinda lame. Her watchers KNOW she's an adventurer but there is never any elaboration.
They also know she has a boyfriend but known VERY little about him.
Loser Boyfriendâ˘ď¸ Confirmed Facts
1. Loser
2. His quokki pets gameplay is trash
3. Also an adventurer ig
4. Plays drums sometimes
5. They officially met when she curb-stomped his ass at a sports tryouts and he got mad. (No elaboration)
6. He made her a switch capable of running ROMhacks and mods.
7. Half-orc. The only times they have ever seen him is once or twice when he wordlessly hands her a mango soda from off screen. They have an entire emote of his hand with the soda bottle they spam sometimes. (#bottleboi)
Which is to say when Gorgug shows up in the background of the stream one day, cause Mary Ann rearranged or was streaming from somewhere else temporarily, people start freaking out.
Mary Ann notices but only comments "yeah, that's my loser boyfriend. Don't worry about it."
THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE MARY ANN!!!
THAT'S GORGUG THISTLESPRING, FAMOUS 4X WORLD SAVING RENOWN ADVENTURER BEFORE HE EVEN FINISHED HIGHSCHOOL, THE FIRST EVER BARBIFICER IN THE WORLD, AND GODDAMN FAMOUS ROCK STAR.
YOU CALL HIM YOUR LOSER BOYFRIEND?????
"His quokki pets gameplay is trash."
MA'AM-
This post by @recycledraccoon made me laugh real hard so i drew it
Beautiful. Majestic. BAM!
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.
past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you
(x)
we fucking found them?
Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:
"Smooth edges of screen fonts"
My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.
Y'all.
I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.
Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:
Then you'll see this:
TURN IT ALL OFF.
I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.
My computer is so quiet and reasonably-temperatured now and I barely notice a difference in utility, why is windows like this
maybe I can even play computer games again
The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.
10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.
Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")
The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.
i used to have no hope for the future but now i'm thinking. i want rich people food. i want rare sirloin steak. i've never had sirloin steak in my life. i think i want to try it before i die.
i want to get some tattoos. i want to learn how to play drums. i want to go back to the ocean. i want to land a heelflip. i want to benchpress with big plates.
it crept up on me but i want i want i want i want to live. i want to live
do you understand? i am living this life for the first time. nobody has seen the world through my eyes. i am alive. i want to feel the dry warmth of the sun in my bones. i want to breathe, again and again and again. maybe even forever.
do you understand? this world is a disgusting place forsaken by the one above and yet. it is beautiful. i want to live.
Now I don't think that I'm the one to write about this, but all the fics I've seen of Hobie meeting Miles' parents always feel so... light. It's either "Hobie calls Jefferson a pig to his face and Miles gets grounded" or "Hobie is surprisingly respectful and polite and Miles' parents love him"
Even when the former is done, none of the underlying issue is really addressed. It feels just like silly banter and classic "oooh, the parents don't like the new boyfriend" stuff. Guess what? There are reasons people don't like cops.
I can't stop thinking about Hobie who is polite to Miles' parents, but in an obviously stilted and forced way. Hobie who usually slinks all around a room, but lingers extra close to Miles when his dad is around. Who keeps an arm around him in a way that usually reads as affectionate, but between all the side glances he tosses Jeff it's hard not to see as protective. Who makes a point for Miles to know he's always welcome back in Hobie's dimension. Who doesn't say anything too confrontational, not while the cop in question is in a direct position of authority over someone he loves, but has one hand tensed and ready to shoot webs at a moments notice. Because Hobie is unapologetically loud about his beliefs, but knows how to stand back and be more subtle support when the consequences would spread to others (like when he was prodding Miles about the spider society)
And Jefferson wants to be pissed, he does, but more than that he wishes he didn't look at this young man and get it. That he doesn't look at the anger and protectiveness and see the fear underneath. But they'll never actually get along, because Jeff wants to help things from the inside and Hobie believes there are no good cogs in a broken system.
I've just been feeling a kind of way, seeing some cop shit happening at pride. This situation is too racially charged for me to properly in depth explore it myself, but it's something on my mind each time I read Hobie meeting the parents.
Something I feel like a lot of people don't seem to talk about is how Hobie's is putting on somewhat of a farce. He disguises himself in the Spider-Society as kind of a poser, going on and on about his ideals in anarchy, but not in a way that would tip off the other Spider-People to his true intentions.
He steals their tech behind their backs, allegedly goes on assignments where he wasn't invited, and seems to make a lot of connections with lower-ranking Spider-People. And if the Spider-Society knew (if Miguel knew) that Hobie's true intentions were to overthrow the society, they would see what he's doing and realize "This guy's doing text-book revolutionary stuff. That spells trouble for our authority" thus, kicking him out of the society.
But instead, they see him as the loud, idealistic, all-talk poser. "Oh he's the punk Spider-Man, undermining us is just his thing." They don't realize he has a plan, because according to Hobie, he "doesn't believe in consistency." "How could someone like him ever organize a revolution against us?"
But when the time was right, Hobie gave Miles and Gwen the push they needed to start fighting back against the authorities.
So, I think Hobie would do the same thing to Jefferson. Loud, idealistic, anarchist. But in a way that can only irritate Jefferson, not make him a threat to the system. And if the time is right, Hobie will make a more subtle push.
the rubber duck
For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it.Â
Itâs also very useful for writers, and Iâve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.
âwhen i say it out loud i realize where the stupid wasâ
I literally cannot count the number of times Iâve gone to someone and told them âI canât figure out whatâs wrong with my story, please let me explain it to youâ and that was all it took. Sometimes they ask helpful questions like âdid you remember to feed themâ or âso is this all on the same dayâ but other times I donât even need that, it just figures itself out as soon as I try to explain it to someone else.
Itâs one of my go-to pieces of writing advice. Youâre stuck on your story? sit down and tell me/someone all about it.Â
If youâre using Skype you should dump it and get Discord instead!
Pros:
Cleaner, easier to navigate interface
Free servers for more permanent group chat things (way easier to hop in and out of chats)
You can actually have different nicknames on each server if you want
Is actually well built and doesnât make your computer yearn for death
Stuff coming down the pipeline soon according to devs:
Video chat
Linux client
Cons:
All your friends arenât on it
But you can change that
Download it. Itâs great and itâs only getting better. Itâs aimed at gamers but it has nearly all the functionality of Skype and then some.
Since Discord first became a thing, it has added:
friends lists
group chats
changeable statuses
search function
and a hell of a lot more! Â Also this is a huge shout out to any of my friends who still use Skype â I donât use it, I use Discord. Â Mail me and Iâll shoot you my details :)
Also the audio quality is just way better and more consistent than Skypeâs.
Discord uses itâs own servers to host calls instead of relying on a user host like skype :0
