I can’t remember if I told you guys this but my grandpa paid a guy to put up a rock retaining wall in the backyard when my grandparents moved into their house in 1966. They live at the bottom of a mountain. The wall finally collapsed this year and my grandfather with dementia was PISSED OFFFFFF and he wanted so badly to call the guy who did it and chew him out for doing a bad job. My grandma is trying to explain that the wall lasted 60 years and the guy who did the work is probably dead and it TURNS OUT HE IS STILL ALIVE. Now we’re worried grandpa is going to get through to him (small town) and we’re going to see two 85 year old men come to blows over a rock wall that has been there since the mid-60s. My grandpa is a scrapper, he’s been to jail over a bar fight, the possibility that he WOULD fight this guy is high.
To top it off? The stone mason is the only person in town with one arm so grandpa would definitely recognize him if he saw him. If that is your grandpa, please protect him from my grandpa.
Actually what is the expected lifespan of a stone wall? I grew up in New England
I don’t know. They could last indefinitely in perfect conditions on flat land. Like I said, they’re at the bottom of a mountain in Appalachia and this wall has held back 60 years of snow melt and ground shifting and it has survived countless major weather events. In my opinion it is very good work and I think 60 is a good run for a rock retaining wall. The problem is that grandpa feels like the wall was put up recently so he thinks it is shitty craftsmanship. He’s mad because he can’t quite grasp that this wall has done its job for 60 years. Dementia is a terrible disease but if you don’t laugh you’ll cry and grandpa’s righteous indignation at this man’s work is kinda hilarious.
I think you should tell the masonry guy that his retaining wall held up for 60 years
He'll either be thrilled at its lifespan or be equally outraged and come zipping over to fix it as fast as the tennis balls on his walker will allow 💖

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.
Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?
Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:
for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.
Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.
the true disco elysium spiritual successor will be made by someone who has never played disco elysium and had no idea they were making a disco elysium spiritual successor
because if you start with the intention of making disco, you'll never make disco. you'll just be aping disco. disco was a moment. we'll never have disco again. trying to imitate disco will just bury it deeper. the only way disco can ever happen again is by accident.
If it happens, I think it will go like this.
First, will come the wave of Disco Successors. Some will faithfully mimic the aesthetics of Disco Elyisum, others will cling to mechanical and thematic mimicry. Many of them will lean too heavily into the "Skills as characters" conceit, we'll see a wide variety of protagonists, but each game will almost certainly feature a patient, professional NPC companion character that they expect you to imprint on like a baby bird. At least one will feature deckbuilding elements. Most will fail pretty horrendously, some will be actually pretty decent games, but fail because the standard for success is Disco Again, and you cannot do Disco Again. Next will come a wave of games that are NOT trying to be Disco Elysium, but will have learned some lessons from the first wave of imitators. A game can have it's primary loop be about walking around, talking to NPCs, and making skill checks without being Disco Elysium. There will be an intense and ongoing taxonomical debate about if these count as "Visual Novels". These games are not trying to be Disco Elysium again, to the point that they'll aggressively avoid resembling it in the same way the successor games attempted to invoke it. There will be unspoken rules about these games. No amnesiac detectives in ruined cities, skills can talk to you to provide exposition like a GM giving you details but they're not presented as standalone characters, all politics remain firmly grounded in the fictional and fantastical.
It's only at this point, when somebody who has forgotten why those rules exist decides to break them that we might get Disco Again. It won't look like Disco, the superficial resemblances will be gone, but it will have the same madness and heart that Disco does. The developers will reject the comparison. Meanwhile, Disco Elysium will have been rebuilt as a mod for Fallout New Vegas.
in case you're wondering what the greatest AMV of all time is, it's this one from 2008.

sewing distrust in my players is super fun
writing is a fantastic hobby but the kicker is it's a lot harder to show your friends as it's progressing. with a sketch i can show someone and they'll be like oh that's an apple. you can't do that with words until you get a lot of them down. so i'll just be like damn fuckin. uhh. check this out
that's right. and that's just one of the several words i know
studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be
do not, my friends, become addicted to touching. it will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
it will take hold of me?🥺👉👈
