i do think this is the most heartbreaking paragraph in annihilation, because it's the realization that the biologist and her husband just passed by each other with the wrong timing and missed the opportunity to know each other. even out here, when he was riddled with hypnotic triggers and couldn't stay behind, he took tidepool notes and clipped wildflowers for her to study, on the chance that she might read his journal some day. with the original intent to come home and sit down and bond with her over nature, on her terms, bringing something she loves back home to her. the idea of them volunteering together and finally getting to know one another, even in such a beautiful and horrifying landscape, keeps bringing me to tears. we wouldn't have turned back.
after hearing about the biologist's husband through her perspective, it's a bit of a shock to hear her recap his journal and share how her husband thought of her while they were apart. he wanted to experience the fascinating and terrible aspects of area x with her. he would've bonded silently if that's what she wanted. they could have met each other halfway.
oh. i’m sure its fine and normal that a video investigating the massive bot farm/slop channel shell company connections to the russian mafia and youtube’s own implication by allowing it to continue for profit has mysteriously vanished with no word from op.

Propaganda: "MURDERBOT MY FAVORITE PROTAGONIST POSSIBLY EVER. A "construct" of mixed human/robot parts, it is a snarky anxious loyal bitter mess of a person who is still kind of grappling with the idea that it IS a person and what that actually means for itself and its place in the world. Aroace feelings more relateable than most characters "deliberately" written to be aroace imo, it resonates with me intensely. Partially because it's just, a really good character with a really strong character voice. I have read these books probably more times than any other books because I'm like I want to hang out with Murderbot my friend Murderbot"

do you want to play tomodachi life but don't have a switch, $60, or just don't want to pay nintendo $60?
here's an all-in-one site where you can download everything you need to emulate it!
Floralith beta — downloads and setup.
also, with an emulator, you can directly screenshot and record your game, and even mod it! add custom hair parts! import photos directly! remove region locks! emulate it!!
everything?
everything! this site will walk you through downloading the ryujinx switch emulator, the firmware and keys needed, and the nsp game file for tomodachi life ltd.
is this safe?
the files are all directly downloaded from this site, so there's no third party to worry about. i didn't make this site - it was created by PotentialAd943 on reddit, who claims they scanned their files clean before hosting. just to be sure, i scanned my pc after downloading too. it all came up clean! but it's good to be aware of pc safety, especially when pirating. it can't hurt to do a scan of your own to be sure!
how much pc knowledge do i need for this?
you should know how to download files, how to make and manage folders in file explorer, and how to navigate a program's settings menu.
any settings i should change in ryujinx?
here's some i recommend checking before starting the game:
for tomodachi life specifically, make sure you set a timezone in settings! you can have it match your pc's time for simplicity.
there are ostensibly keyboard controls, but they're a little wonky to figure out. if you can, plugging in any controller should work just fine. just make sure to select it in ryujinx's input settings! (you should also still be able to use your mouse for things like drawing facepaint!)
graphics settings will be on a per-pc basis, depending on your pc's strength. it's worth it to experiment with them and see what gives you the best performance. ryujinx will explain what each setting does if you hover over it!
the game crashed?
that's very likely to happen! on first time loading a scene, the emulator can sometimes struggle. it happened to me the first time i opened the mii editor, and the first time i opened the news station. you should be able to relaunch and everything will be fine. if it's happening super frequently, though, you may need to adjust your graphics or cpu settings!
a sixth thing i didn't think of?
feel free to leave a reblog with comment or send me an ask! if you need more specific guidance, i'll be happy to help! i'm not an expert on emulation, but if nothing else, i can try to point you towards a reddit thread that is more competent than i am
i hope you have fun playing the game! i did not create this site, but i found the creator in a single reddit thread asking people to spread the word, so i figured i'd do what i can and make this post. if it works for you, please help out and spread the word even further! thank you!!
when you tell people passports don't need to exist and people should be able to travel as they did throughout most of human history they think that's going too far because in their mind there exists a hoard of nameless faceless immigrants waiting to flood their country and "take over". without realising that there is nothing inherently superior about the imperial core countries - the culture, the food, the clothing, the architecture is not superior than that of the rest of the world. all you've got going for you are the benefits reaped from hundreds of years of historical colonisation and the continuing benefits of modern day imperialism. do you think if people's homes weren't subject to manufactured violence, artificial scarcity, and systematic disenfranchisement they'd all just wanna leave? can you not imagine a life where someone would be happier living in uganda than the usa?
If you ever meet someone on the internet claiming they're from the USA, watch out because they're most likely an AI bot. nobody in the US can afford an internet connection (because they're so poor) and even if they could their schools are so underfunded they couldn't even know how to use the internet
Hungary finally got rid of its fucking corrupt government after 16 years. I have no idea about the video quality but there is a techno party in front of the parliament with fire show and I'm happy and drunk AF.
