Nothing of Note

Fallen London is a Gothic horror/comedy/romance wherein you are a deathless denizen of Victorian London, which has been sent to the lightless underworld. Right now, everyone is disappointed that the apocalypse didn't happen, so they're reliving the five times it did. One of the following does not happen in-game:

-

Alien space bats put chemicals in the water to turn the people gay

Sigmund Freud claims that chessboards featured in your sexual development

You threaten to kill every member of an oppressed minority to do better at cards

Eating a snowman costs about as much as becoming immortal

It is possible to make a hat out of the eggs laid by the local supermarket

With your assistance, the Prince of Wales realises he's gay

Satan has established trade relations with the Queen of England

Gilgamesh and Enkidu are exes due to the latter being an island

The censorship agency keeps having to erase the graffiti that sets you on fire

You set out to steal a really big diamond but end up adopting a bug instead

Government asks you to stop killing yourself, you refuse

I know this setting already

Remaining time: 6 days 19 hours

Huh, where have I seen this before... Wait

not to be art snob guy but everyone knows that the Mona Lisa isn't the most valuable painting in the world cause he painted the woman so "beautiful" right. Like I just saw someone compare another painting (that was good!) but go this one should be celebrated as much as the Mona Lisa, look how beautiful it is- okay you know that's not why tho right.

Da Vinci stepped into a realm of anatomy and technique that no-one had ever done before. He Mastered light in a time where they were just painting the background and the subject the exact same focus.

What we understand about aperture, perspective, the human eye- Da Vinci was utilising before the scientific community even knew what a retina did. Do you understand how Crazy that is.

He invented a 3D stereoscopic picture in the 1500s. It would take two more centuries before physicists even arrived at the concept of stereography.

Do you understand how much math that is. A lot of fucking math man.

And I'm not even talking about colour or texture rn!!! He did it so we can't see the brushstrokes! It would require x-rays to view the work he did.

I just know sometimes people go oh why's this painting so special- it's very important to me that you know that the Mona Lisa was like an Atomic Bomb on the Renaissance art community. Almost EVERY piece of art you view today you could track it's influence back to what da Vinci did.

Like other art deserves its time in the spotlight, of course, but you know we didn't all gather around one day and go this lady is the prettiest this painting shall now be the Best. It's the most valuable painting in the world because..,. Well because it's the most valuable painting in the world.

I'm gonna go on a thing here for a sec

I don't play fighting games. I have the utmost respect for fighting games, and for the people who play them, and for the culture that has evolved around them

I don't watch fighting game tournaments. I do watch people react to fighting game reveals, analyze fighting game characters, check out how hotfixes and patches might change the fighting game meta

so I've been getting a lot of marvel tokon videos lately

and it seems like it is receiving some very positive feedback, character designs look absolutely stellar, and it's an arcsys game which means the music

my god, the music

these tracks are some of the most creative, the most motivated, the most fun and the most varied I've seen music be in a single game

it's no Clair Obscure high art but it is something

they gave the Iron Man theme a late 80s Mötley Crüe pastiche with full lyrics and a reference to the 90's cartoon opening AND Legally Distinct Avengers Epic Horn Motiff

they gave the Spider-Man theme a nod to the 1970s japanese tokusatsu show and urban new-york jazz AND electro-swing

they gave the Magik theme a magical girl main opening and epic choral refrain AND black metal growlcore

they gave the Green Goblin theme the musical equivalent of having a manic episode and a panic attack at the same time

and the main theme is just

I know we're going with "what if this was an anime" vibes

but can this PLEASE be an anime

[failbettergames]

damn do you think we could get Markiplier From YouTube to play fallen london if yall put one of the eels in like, a FUCK ton of blood

i dread to think what would happen if markiplier from youtube played fallen london

[ihniwtr]

we need to alert Travis Teaspoon to the existence of Fallen London. He got IronMouse to start playing Warframe with one (1) well-aimed propaganda video; if we can get him, we can get Markiplier

Gown in Black Silk Cloth

Should I be saving my money for a down payment on a house and getting rid of furniture so I have less to move? Yes. And also yes.

But consider:

She's $300 and I need her

[hellenhighwater]

She's here!!

This side-by-side was built by the Rockford Desk and Furniture Co., which only existed from 1891-1895. I've found one singular other example of this cabinet, which was auctioned over a decade ago, and was stained a dark cherry color. I personally like the color of the quartersawn oak as it is, so I'm not planning a full restoration.

[hellenhighwater]

Wait I just realized this puts her in line of sight with my favorite chifforobe and I love how they look together. Very different periods and styles (art noveau vs art deco) but I feel like there's a dialogue there.

We are not judging the mess in my drawing room, that's a later problem. Work table all covered in nonsense...
