I legitimately think the first video game to ever say the word "bisexual" out loud was Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. There is a nonzero chance it was actually the first video game to print "bisexual" in a text format.

[normal-horoscopes]

It is very possible that the first video game character to ever say the word "Bisexual" out loud was Solid Snake.

[lakemojave]

Based on what I found, the first ever bisexual character in a video game was Curtis Craig from Phantasmagoria 2 (1996) but I have yet to find out if he says the word "bisexual" in the scene where this is revealed

[lakemojave]

He does not. He says he's attracted to his male best friend but he never says the word "bisexual."

The first ever character to ever correctly and overtly identify a person as bisexual was Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)

I once again have to point out for those who've never played mgs2 he says this when asked if another character that goes by the name of vamp is a vampire

[laliluleho]

Everyone here who hasn’t yet needs to see how fucking incredible this whole conversation is.

Snake: “He was at church when a bomb went off, got pierced by a crucifix, survived by drinking his family’s blood.”

Raiden: “So that’s why he’s called Vamp?”

Snake: “No it’s because he’s bisexual.”

adwd jon IS boring but it’s also my favorite because it’s on purpose on his part. after four genre-shifts from campy boarding school friendship tale to soaring adventure beyond the wall to star crossed romance to war drama he’s finally just like. No. no more of this fantasy bullshit. we’re not fucking doing this. i have shit to do. and EVERYONE around him is just SCREAMING that he’s a magic fantasy protagonist and he’s like, I’ll fucking kill you. I need this to be a plain political drama right now actually. melisandre keeps giving him prophecies and he has dreams about fighting the dead with a glowing red sword and he keeps accidentally warging ghost and getting mad about it and the wildlings swear their vows directly to him in the same manner as they would any king-beyond-the-wall and mormont’s raven is just constantly yelling KING KING KING YOU’RE A KING JON LISTEN TO ME HOLY SHIT and jon’s like. :/ Sorry but i can’t care. nothing suspicious about any of that. i need to go count our stores of salt beef

Can astrologers use astrological charts to understand people's character and lives? Our new study put astrologers to the test

Astrology is very popular — both Gallup and YouGov report that about 25% of Americans believe that the position of the stars and planets can

Astrology doesn't seem to work.

[performativezippers]

Some highlights:

Astrologers helped design the study

No one did better than random chance, even though they only included people in the study who are experienced with astrology and stated that they expect themselves to do better than random chance

They gave every astrologer a set of 50 things about a person and 5 birth charts to choose from. They weren’t even coming up with the chart themselves!

After taking the test, most thought they nailed it. Zero out of 152 did better than 5 out of 12. None nailed it

Astrologers who rated themselves highly experienced (“world class experts”) did the same or worse as those who said they have limited experience. Both performed the same as random chance

This is hilarious

Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.

This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.

I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.

RECURRING THEMES IN AN AUTHOR'S WORK

[ducavalentinos]

"There was much talk about the costumes ordered by the women and above all about the bride’s dress. Those who had met her [Lucrezia] described her as one of the most seductive women, as well as wealthy and generous. “Pray heaven this be true,” said the courtiers. Women exchanged information on the new Duchess’s fashions. It was known that she did not do her hair in curls but let it fall over her shoulders, hardly plaiting it at all, or else she wore it in the style of a young girl as we see in Pinturicchio’s fresco at the Vatican and on the medal struck at Ferrara called the Amorino Bendato. Her bearing was elegant and dignified, and as someone wrote, “she carries herself so gracefully that when she walks she hardly seems to move.”
