Happy Halloween season to this tweet specifically
huh it is weird how purple is so often used in video games for stuff like corruption or dark magic or whatever
Makes a lot of sense actually:
Purple barely occurs in nature
is a good contrast color that stands out in most environments and as such can overtake them
It is dark enough to benefit from the evil = black association, but is much easier to work with than black and gray in animation
It mixes blue, “good“ and red, “evil“ together (while still being vibrant if you want it to be, mixing green and red as an alternative wouldn’t work bc you just end up with brown)
associated with royalty and as such with power, and corruption through power
green as a poison color doesn’t work for a lot of games bc green is already associated with health, so you need something else
It fucking slaps

This “hanging out” you mentioned is intriguing. Have my people call your people

do you guys think jesus, the son of a carpenter, smelt the wood of the cross & temporarily thought of home
This is killing me
I found photos of those Pallas Cat kittens born this year and bye I'm deceased
why do these kittens have the exact same energy as a nest of baby owls
@curlicuetruth you are very right

Happy Holiday’s!
Found this far funnier than I should have
someone please tell me if this is actually in accordance with how you spell irish stuff
I appreciate your curiosity!! This is exactly how we’d Gaelicise English names.
The J in Jason becoming an S is based on the model of Seán being the Irish version of John, and of Séamus being the Irish version of James. Séason would be pronounced Shay-son.
T is pronounced very softly in Irish, and when it’s followed by an E, it becomes a CH sound. The EA diphtong in Tead is pronounced as ‘ah’. So Tead would be pronounced as Chad, exactly the same.
As above, the EA is pronounced ‘ah’ and the combination GH is silent in Irish, so Hearraigh would be pronounced as Harry is in English, despite the initially alarming length.
Darach is already an Irish name, meaning ‘like an oak,’ and it’s usually Anglicised as Dara or Darragh (pronounced identically to each other), so suggesting Dairech = Derek is just extra funny.
I don’t think I’ll actually be able to scrub Ailfiagh out of my mind. It sounds too Irish, to the point that it’s replaced Alfie as the default spelling for me.
In short, We Need to Talk about Caoimhín (Kwee-veen) is a genius.

Alfie’s antique emporium in Church Street NW8 has a building beside it selling primarily Middle Eastern and Asian antiques, called Al Fayez. They can now open an Irish building…

i think about this so much

i think that, if youre usamerican and any time someone calls out your lack of knowledge on global geography you start talking about how bad the usa education is and how its actually not your fault that you dont know what continent nigeria is on because you cant look at the google maps bc donald trump will personally shoot you, youre very annoying
literally nobody is asking you to point them all on a blank map or know their capitals or count at least 3 major cities but there was someone in the notes who thought egypt was in eastern europe and someone who thought canada was on a separate continent from the usa. knowing sort-of where myanmar or bosnia or montenegro or somalia or laos are is literally the basic minimum and you cant even do that. if you think your knowledge of the georaphy is lacking instead of telling everyone on this site about how "they just didnt teach me that in school!" you can literally open the wikipedia list of countries and look at them. there are blank maps of continents online which you can use to practice. you can google "learn all the countries ever" and youll find a free flash game or some shit. "they didnt teach me that in school" jesus fucking christ
some fun games to build up your knowledge:
Seterra quizzes - lots of 'click where on the map [place] is' games
Worldle - guess a country by the shape of its outline, with the distance/direction if you get it wrong. You can also guess capital, neighbours, population, flag, currencies, major cities, and size
Globle - enter the name of a country and get a warmer-cooler colour for how close the target country is
Globle capitals - similar, but with capital cities
Flaggle - a flag divided into sixths, and each guess reveals another portion along with distance/direction as a hint
Wheretaken - guess which country a photo comes from, then guess the capital, capital's location, a landmark, the landmark's name, and which city another photo comes from (this one can be tricky: pictures come from wikimedia commons so sometimes it's like... a gutter)
Geoguessr - drops you somewhere in the world on google street view and you can navigate around trying to to guess what street in the world your drop point was
I started playing these daily a couple of years ago, and now I can point to almost any country on a map (South Pacific is still a little tricky). Along with trivia like flags and capitals, I've picked up a lot about different places' architecture, languages, and foliage. Often when you play these you'll become curious: why does a Spanish-speaking country have a French-sounding capital? Why is there a really long edge on that border? What does the bird on that flag represent? Where is that beautiful temple in the picture?
You might feel stupid at first, but it's really exciting to realise you're improving.
