Hi! I mostly reblog, but do make orginal post somtimes. I love no man's sky, folklore and myhtology(esp slavic one!), and religions, and i also adore cartoons. Ovtgw, amphbia, gravity falls, toh, adventure time, hilda and dead end are just few of my favourites.
@specialorangeangel is my art blog but i will also talk abaut my hobbies, mainly mythology and folklore there. Please check it out! I do mainly traditional art.
i hate it when game devs put “fixed several issues” in patch notes
no. tell me what you fixed. i wanna know what the glitch was.
you know those patch notes that are like “fixed an issue where if the player sat in a bush for too long, they’d become the size of a skyscraper”
i wanna read those. tell me those.
Adjusted value of Bees. Now that was a special one… because every item in the game had a minimum value, and a beehive was a container for bees, which each had a minimum value… which meant the moment one of your dwarves picked up a beehive, your entire fortress’ net worth skyrocketed… a value used in determining how powerful the foes that visit and try to murder you are.
Reblogging for the explanation of what “adjusted value of bees” actually means, because I know several folks following this blog have been wondering.
Okay but you’ve all forgotten the best Dwarf Fortress bug of all “Flying creatures give birth in midair, leading to tragedy”
Actually I lied it’s the one where after a major update werewolves and vampires started climbing the nearest tree and refusing to come down. It turned out that he’d given evil creatures the ability to sense each other, but forgotten to set a maximum range on it, so werewolves were aware Hell was underground and trying to flee by climbing
This has to be my favorite patch note ever
Sophia, Aeon of Wisdom, always attempts to do something ambitious. The nature of her great mistake has several interpretations. She tries to comprehend the Chaos beyond the Pleroma, or attempts to produce her own microcosm just like her bosses in the Ogdoad, or attempts to take actions without the collaboration of the male half of her syzygy. Regardless, the result is cataclysmic. She produces a malformed, abortive, pseudo-Aeon called Ialdabaoth. The exact meaning and origin of this word is hotly debated. Much like Gnosticism itself, it bares linguistic footprints of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, but the most common interpretation is “Child of Chaos.”
The Gnostic Microforms, Today on Patreon
They. They forgor
They were opened in AUGUST 2001. Oh my god. That's both hilarious and tragic.
this is a fucking futurama bit
so funny to me when white american christians are like “ooh i incorporate my religious trauma into my art and thats why i draw these stained glass gothic church gold multi eyed reneissance sculpture angels agnus dei” like i know your protestant southern california ass didnt have any of that. go make some art about this
Damn way to read the assignment and go above and beyond.
the bleakness and sanitized feel of most American protestant churches really is an underused medium.
idk why tf the images were deemed to be ‘violating community guidelines’, but here’s what this post used to look like
One of the major failures of Gnostic mythology is its lack of punchy anthropogenesis. They cant decide where man came from! Judaism and Christianity had "God created Adam and Eve so he might have something to love, and be loved by in return." Which is good and snappy. Gets the major point across.
Gnosticism doesn't have that! The primordial man is always some bizarrely Formal concept. The primordial Adam is an Aeon, or the child of two Aeons, or some philosophically complex emanation of divine Nous who exists pre-materially in an incorrupt state.
And how exactly did man end up in the Demiurge's prison reality? It's like the Demiurge made our bodies but the Pleroma made our souls and the souls can be saved but not the bodies. Which okay if the Pleroma is so powerful why don't they just kill Ialdabaoth and save us all? It's not snappy.
My job? I’m the bat enemy in 2D games that flies at you from a diagonal angle you can’t shoot in, it’s an under appreciated role but really serves to test the player’s understanding of the mechanics leading up to harder challenges. I also receive an intense smug satisfaction when they can’t hit me.
Olive Garden... When you're here you are nothing but a fucking sex object
The mythological women in Christianity are consistently sidelined even though they're by far one of the most interesting parts. The Gnostics were cooking with Mary Magdaline as the recipient of Christ's mystical teachings.
if you vote me for president i vow to make everything the ocean again. no more land only ocean. this will solve all of our problems and replace them with new, far more interesting problems
because maybe……..youre gonna be the one that maybe
and after all…..youre my after all
Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. That poison?
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
