PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

Here's the link. It was actually not immediately easy to find, so I thought this might help.

I see a child run out in front of this car and I throw a black lace shawl over their shoulders, saving their life

You might think your anime opening is cool, but is it “seamlessly put a ‘previously on…’ segment in the MIDDLE of the opening and have it kick ass every time” cool?

Study finds nearly every pre-2010 video game is unavailable

Games from older consoles are being made less and less available to the point so much of the industry's history could easily vanish without

Vimm's Lair: Preserving the Classics

Preserving classic videogames from consoles past.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

[anachronic-cobra]

I've been using Vimm's Lair for years, I have yet to see a single bad link or virus on the entire site. It's arguably the safest and most comprehensive archive of video games in existence. Preserved history

Fortnite, are you sure about this? Did you think it through?

this made me laugh so hard

steven is a really funny character actually. he never went to school. one of his powers is astral projection for no real reason. hes a musical prodigy. he was so traumatized by the end of the show they had to make an entire epilogue series about it. he spent seven years looking like a 3rd grader. he was even bisexual

[joeyclaire]

he went to the center of the earth. he saved the world in flip flops. he broke his bones every day and didnt even notice. he killed someone

[pawpels]

he didn’t have a bellybutton. he actively chose to eat super crispy bits of potato that got left in the deep fryer. he lived in a house but his dad lived in a car within walking distance of his house. he could revive people from the dead. all of his clothes were concert merchandise. he had an outdoor washing machine. he was put on trial for murder. he broke both federal and state child labor laws

[imhereformysciencefriends]

The murder he was on trial for was different than the murder he committed

[hedronalignment]

The murder he went on trial for was a murder his mom committed. The victim of the murder was also his mom.

[joeyclaire]

he plead guilty

#not to be That Guy but#what the FUCK happened on this show

They just explained what happens on this show

[eh-fandomtrash]

Steven Universe looks like a kids show, but it’s about child soldiers, war crimes, shitty family dynamics, adults behaving badly in front of and around the kids they’re supposed to care for and protect… and so… SO much trauma and PTSD.

But, you know, if every pork chop were perfect we wouldn’t have hot dogs.

This kids life was so fucked up…

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It looks like a kids show because it is a kids show. All of that stuff is stuff that kids like to see on tv and/or read about.

anyway saw a post that annoyed me so just a reminder that gen z is currently between the ages of 14-29, meaning all but the very youngest of us are fully grown adults. gen z turns 30 next year. like. we're adults who contribute to society and the economy or whatever. millennials some of us went to highschool together. you're not different from us

i dont think even the majority of the scottish themselves want scottish independence

Polling over the past few years has consistently put independence around or over 50%. You wrote that without even bothering to look.

Some of you are using pov (point of view) when you mean to say mfw (my face when). Get the word out

[weaselle]

this is the kind of thing that genuinely bothers me but i have achieved enough balance to let it go. But first, before i let it go, it bothers me.
