concept for a tv show: a cute simple love story between an assistant and a chauffeur or bodyguard or whatever else rich people have and in the background the rich people are having the wildest telenovela level drama that we only catch glimpses of

[still-bejeweled-and-shining]

(Flustered assistant) "So... do you want to go on a coffee date?" (Very flustered bodyguard) "I'd love to!"

(While they're looking at eachother cutely, we hear a woman screaming in the background "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH MY BROTHER???" . Then somebody jumps off a window)

I had a dream last night where I built and released a computer game called HORSE and all it is is that you play as a horse and most of the gameplay is you being ridden and having to obey cues from your rider (which are visually displayed on the screen). You move through beautiful vast 3D vistas while you hear and see the story of your rider, a young nobleman who's just been given his first horse, happen around you. He makes friends with a ragtag group of adventurers and might romance one of his party members et cetera but you have no part in that, your job is to be a horse. How good a horse you are affects your bond with him and if you're really bad you can get sold to a glue factory. It's an intensely narrative game where this young boy grows up and might overthrow the king or be banished and flee on his treasured horse or might do a variety of other things all depending on how good he is at controlling his horse and on whether his horse takes him where he wants to go or charges off into the woods and gets him kidnapped by bandits or whatever. You don't have any special powers or anything you're literally just a horse.

In my dream this game did incredibly well for no reason, but when I woke up all I could think of was how my dream self had ripped off my previous game idea, Fine, you can play as a magic sword, which is a card battler where you're the magical sword of destiny in the hands of the Chosen One and the story depends on what battles you win or lose; you can intentionally get a weak Chosen One killed and end up in the hands of someone stronger who'll get you cooler cards for your deck but could become an evil tyrant, that kind of thing.

Is HORSE from a first-horse or a third-horse perspective?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

First-horse. And if you're too disobedient a horse then they can put blinders on you to restrict your vision and make you listen to your rider more.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Important side not about HORSE is that you cannot understand the language that the human characters speak. You should learn any verbal riding commands pretty quickly just through gameplay, but you can never be one hundred per cent sure what's specifically happening in intense plot scenes and thus can't make deliberate long-term plans to control the narrative yourself. You have to trust that your human rider knows what he's doing and is making good decisions. You're just a horse.

[natmasthestinkylizardliker]

god I would play the fuck out of conlang horse game

if they had bad horse actions I would be the most obedient horse of all time except I would bite or step on feet every time the game offered me the prompt, only prince dingdong gets to stroke me, everyone else gets chomped or stomped

I’m sure you’ll all be happy to hear that Hideo Kojima is living his best life after leaving Konami. Not only did he get to frolic around with Mads Mikkelsen, he also got himself a sub. You think I jest but...

Translation: Refn is a kinkster who use his movies to express his kinks. He knows Kojima is a kinkster too who also puts his kinks in his games and that he’s going to use Refn for something that turns Kojima on, and Refn thinks that’s hot. Their’s is a relationship you probably shouldn’t dig too much into.

+ Bonus: confused and scared Kojima fanboys

[thehmn]

I don’t know why this post is suddenly getting so much activity again, but I’ll use it as an excuse to tell you all that Hideo Kojima calls this grown ass man who’s a head taller than him Refn-chan

Japanese artists are almost always a lot more chill than their art makes them out to be. Kojima is one of the few who’s exactly what you’d expect him to be.

[thehmn]

It gets even better people!

Refn has described his and Kojima’s relationship as very intimate and highly erotic but not sexual (meaning they do something but they don’t fuck) and if you cross reference their interviews and the stuff they make each other do in their works it becomes abundantly clear that they’ve had long, in-depth conversations about their kinks and fetishes.

But they don’t speak the same language.

Refn can’t understand Japanese and Kojima’s English is very limited, so for all their conversations they need a translator.

Enter Saito.

Saito has been Kojima’s translator for years and years and Refn has joked that their arrangement is really a threesome because Saito has to translate every loving and dirty word between them, and Saito looks like the most resigned man in the universe.

He looked like this way before Refn even entered the picture. Nothing can shock this man anymore.

[thehmn]

You can actually see Saito in action as “the third guy” here (gif by fanhanlon)

While Kojima and Refn are hugging you can see Kojima tell Saito to whisper something to Refn.

Not gonna lie, even I was surprised by how close Saito has to get sometimes. I think I understand the look on his face a little bit better...

[thehmn]

This suddenly got a lot of new reblogs and likes. Is it because these two are at it again?

Something that’s super sweet btw is that Saito isn’t always around so Kojima and Refn have learned to just be comfortable in each other’s company without talking. Refn especially has talked at length about how amazed he is at having that sort of relationship with anyone where they can just chill in silence at a restaurant without it being weird.

Also, for some reason Kojima keeps giving Refn medication? Kojima has posted a fair few photos of Refn holding Japanese over the counter medication and Refn holding up pills and swallowing them as if to prove that he’s taking them? But hey, whatever works for them I suppose?

[dvandom]

Mind you, at the line, “Kojima has a sub,” I would also have been unsurprised to find that he has his own submarine and spends his spare time just tooling around and occasionally popping up to freak out fishermen at the docks.

[thehmn]

I wish I still had the clip but after an interview where everyone are walking around on stage and most of the microphones are turned off Kojima says something to Refn, Saito opens his mouth, close it, looks back at Kojima, sighs, turns to Refn and says “I can’t translate that right now” and Refn gets this curious look of “Oh?” on his face but Saito holds his hand up like “I mean it, not on fucking stage”

Why do they have such perfect comedic timing? This is way better than if Saito had just assumed his microphone was turned off and said whatever inappropriate thing Kojima was trying to tell Refn. I hope Saito is paid well because he isn’t just a translator, he’s trying so hard to save what little modesty these guys have left.

[thehmn]

When this post took off again I was kinda nervous about reading it because I worried I embellished too much for comedy but no this is literally just what they’ve told us about their relationship and done in public. So to the people who can’t tell if this is made up, no. They just be like that.

People also worry about their wives and while I can’t tell you what Kojima’s wife thinks because she’s very private I can tell you Liv Corfixen, Refn’s wife, is supportive and even had a scene with Kojima in Too Old to Die Young where she watch him torture/punish a businessman and she appears in Death Stranding 2 as Heartman’s new girlfriend who doesn’t mind sharing her boyfriend with another man.

We all know Kojima loves putting references to the real people the characters are based on in his games so it’s really sweet that Liv appears as a scientist who’s more knowledgeable about water and it’s connection to the afterlife than Heartman who’s otherwise the smartest person in the game and she keeps asking the guy she’s sharing her boyfriend with to look after him and be mindful of his health because Refn is pretty honest about his health being bad which is probably why Kojima is always feeding him meds, and Refn calls his movies/shows his own personal porn where he gets to film all the horny stuff that turns him on and apparently he really wanted to see Kojima cut a whimpering man with a katana while Liv looks all cool in the background.

They both have a ton of respect and love for her so I don’t think we have to worry about Liv in all of this. If you want to worry about anyone let it be Saito.

[thehmn]

I thought Kojima’s photos of Refn with the meds were lost to time because he only posts them to his instagram stories but luckily other people actually document their claims and took screenshots.

I remember thinking the carton was milk but yet again it was Kojima showing off that he’s giving Refn herbal medicine. This specific one is apparently for headaches, flu, colds, and allergies.

Two things; I don’t remember the tablets being that big. Please tell me they’re supposed to be dissolved in water because otherwise that’s adding sadism to the powerplay.

Second, it never occurred to me until Death Stranding 2 that Kojima isn’t just making Refn pose with the meds to show off but that Liv is probably on his ass about making sure Refn is doing okay. That might also explain why he post so many candid photos of Refn eating. He’s proving that he’s keeping his sub healthy and nourished.

The relationship is just way sweeter than I thought. Like I knew Refn is colorblind and can only really tell colors apart if they’re contrasting but I had no idea that’s why Heartman wears blue and orange. Not only are they contrasting but there’s no such thing as blue/orange colorblindness. Kojima made sure Refn could see his character properly.

I remember a Danish interview with Mads Mikkelsen where he was asked about Kojima and said “Oh yeah, he’s a fan of me but he fucking loves Nicolas. They love each other. It’s kinda weird but like in a good way for them” You made Mads Mikkelsen uncomfortable. Good job guys.

I’m so fascinated by them because it’s the sort of male relationship people don’t think exists in real life yet here they are.

It’s like the relationship between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost who had to share a single-person bed for nine months when they were young which made them realize they love cuddling so they still share a bed when the mood comes over them to this day and they started holding hands when they were happy (they made up after a big fight and walked hand in hand through town while laughing and crying) or got scared (when they went ghost hunting in old ruins at night, and when Quentin Tarantino invited them to a strip club but it ended in a tense situation with a gang so Pegg and Frost held hands to calm each other) and when Frost’s mother died he collapsed on the hotel room’s floor and cried for Pegg to come hold him. All those stories come from Nick Frost’s own biography.

Kojima and Refn are a more eccentric and kinky version of that. I just love that Refn is this controversial kinky weirdo filmmaker and as he said himself “I didn’t know how to be anything else so I just leaned into it” and then he meets fellow kinky weirdo Kojima in London who sees this tall lanky white man who makes dark violent movies and went “Oh my god you’re adorable! I shall call you Refn-chan because you’re such a babygirl!” and instead of getting offended Refn liked it and they’ve been Saito’s problem ever since.

I see people in the tags call them the most public queerplatonic relationship though I’d argue Pegg and Frost came first, we just didn’t have a word for it yet. But yeah, I see why people are tagging it as story and/or character inspiration because sometimes real life is just more weird and wholesome than fiction.

Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.

Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.

[bear-disguised-as-a-human]

This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter

[prokopetz]

Well, yeah. That's why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:

It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn't turn out like her father;

Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and

The opposite of poetry is math.

Ada Lovelace's biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.

[arqueete]

Hark, a vagrant: 298

[thislittlekumquat]

This post makes the rounds periodically, and it bothers me just a touch, because #3 above would more accurately be "bc she herself loved math, so Ada was gonna learn math independently of who her father was". Even Lord Byron himself called Anne his "princess of parallelograms" bc her big thing was mathematics

bob's red mill

they should not be allowed to sell that. literally the highest lead level out of all the cassava flour tested. not only does bob's red mill sell lead, they are really really really good at it too.
