its so cool that a palace full of unfired clay tablets can have its records preserved indefinitely by the same fire which destroyed the city. like a broken stopwatch telling you when the victim died in a mystery novel!

funny idea i just got for an Eridian character. meet Hardtack

[pineappical]

like a sick victorian child

Ocarina of time had such fun idle animations, I wonder how they will be animated in the remake (and if there's more!) On that note, I wonder what Link will sound like... his original OOT voice clips are iconic.

If you can correctly identify what type of dog Zorro is, you get a prize*

Also go watch Min-Maxed!

We need an alternative to doesthedogdie cause they’ve started fucking paywalling warnings that include timestamps for triggering moments.

[thedreammweaver]

Like what the fuck

[autisticharrywells]

I just checked and

Need to read about trigger warnings? Please click the whimsical dog icon for more information!

I recommend Unconsenting Media. Not as comprehensive as DoesTheDogDie, but if sexual assault is a trigger for you, it’s a good resource

rbing again real quick--i and other(s?) have noted in other rbs that this is almost never done. it's for very few properties, and it's only for timestamped warnings that are done in-house, not by users.

there are still timestamps available for warnings on those same triggers for those same properties. just bc there's a paywall on something doesn't mean other comments and timestamps can't be posted or read for free on that property or that trigger.

see here:

i don't have an account and haven't paid for anything on the site, so all of those comments are what i'm seeing for free.

i had to search and search to find anything that had paywalls, and had to resort to looking at The Substance, as referenced here. i've been using the site regularly since the op posted and have never organically encountered a paywall on anything, including on very popular properties.

i don't see any reason to stop using the site--everything is still available for free. they just have added another way for some ppl to choose to pay some $ (in addition to ads), since this is a completely free service, and no website is free to maintain.

as an example, someone with the money could pay to see the timestamps, and then leave a free comment with the same timestamps for others if they wanted to.

I've seen this post on my dash a few times now and I want to boost this specific addition. I've emailed the owner of the site to get clarification on this, and I was told the motivation behind this. He wanted to start paying some people to memorize all 200+ triggers on the site, sit down and watch popular movies/shows to thoroughly analyze whenever any trigger pops up, and note down timestamps and details of them. Ads unfortunately do not cover this (they probably only cover the site's base upkeep), so the subscription service is specifically to pay these people. Community comments have never been paywalled and are still accessible.

He thanked me for my feedback when I expressed confusion and concern about the paywalled comments being mixed in with the free comments, and has since updated the site to make them clearly distinct, along with a preview of what the paid comments look like:

He was very transparent about it all and very kind. He also said this was his mistake and is trying to clear it up. Please continue to use DoesTheDogDie.com, it is an excellent resource and there is nothing else like it!

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, being Electrified is a purely beneficial status condition for anyone who receives it (whether it is Mario's party or an enemy), as all it does is deal contact damage to whoever attacks that character with a non-ranged attack.

However, it turns out that in the game's code, an unused functionality for Electrified exists that would have made it act more like the Paralysis status common in RPGs (e.g. like the Pokémon series games), whereby it would also have a chance of preventing the afflicted character from making a move on that turn. Note how in the footage, Mario and Goombella only briefly shake instead of being able to perform their attacks.

This actually explains an odd behavior in the game whereby enemies would sometimes use items to cure Electrified when it never needed to be cured in the first place (bottom image, dramatization from an earlier post explaining this phenomenon). These enemies must be acting upon a script written under the assumption that Electrified is still able to incure the Paralysis-like effect, which was not updated when the effect was removed during development.

The Spiky Goomba in the scenario means well, he is simply acting on outdated information.

H P Lovecraft may have been a cranky racist hack, but we mustn't let his proclivities taint our appreciation of pretentious verbosity. Sometimes "cyclopean" is in fact the word we're grasping for. Sometimes it's even "rugose".

why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? it won't hurt him....

lmao what an incredible metric

[wetsaltinesworld]

dorohedoro side characters are always like ‘my name is ham and cheese sandwich and everybody in the whole world has hated me since the day i was born’ and their design looks like 3-day-old roadkill wearing a gas mask and 4 belts and a feather boa and brand new nikes. and theyre awesome.

Huh? No, long hair is when it goes down to your waist. Hair down to your shoulders is still pretty short....

Top 10 branches of science ranked by how bad it would suck to be killed by them (from best to worst)

Physics - probably the nicest just on the grounds of how fast that's gonna be. Like if you're a goner before any of the other sciences can get to you, you probably don't even have time to feel anything.

Biology - the most standard default way of dying. Most of the time it sucks but not badly enough to warrant you its own wikipedia page.

Geology - one of the oldest OG classics. Rock hits Og. Og is gone.

Psychology - slow tigers are chasing you.

Zoology - fast tigers are chasing you.

Sociology - idk me and the rest of the angry mob agree that you had it coming.

Chemistry - this is a hard one to place because there's a lot of variation. But anyhow you're getting undone on a cellular level.

Mathematics - how the fuck did you even do that.

Cosmology - why the fuck did you even do that?

Theology - what the fuck did you even do?

Cartoon bully with a black skull t shirt transitions into a woman. New shirt. Skull over each breast.

[theterribletenno]

So is she still a bully or did she figure out the source of her insecurities and fix it?

[cryptotheism]

She is a bad person who hurts people for fun.
