3 years. It took 3 years for me to crawl back to this hellsite
i also love her tamamo style bigger-than-average eyebrows
*vine boom*
i really want to play Elden Ring but I want to go through the entire series, so I booted up Dark Souls remastered. You got any tips?
I'm no expert soulsbourne player, but here's one thing I know.
For a series famous for its bossfights, Soulsbornes tend to kill you very often via death traps. When entering a doorway, move your camera to see if there aren't dudes with their swords held up ready to vibe check you as you pass by. An empty room is not always an empty room, sometimes there is instant death waiting inside. If you see a guy from a fair distance, consider it a warning. And if there are a bunch of shmucks on higher ground, always see if there's a way to get rid of them first; there's a fight waiting for you and the last thing you want to deal with is enemies shooting at you while you're very busy trying not to die.
Just my two cents if you ever get to DS2, try playing Vanilla first if you can instead of SotFS. Having played both the latter made many decisions I can only describe as maddening, such as the over abundance of “turned to stone” enemies that block important pathways and need a specific item to clear. They have one of these in the friggin TUTORIAL AREA. Not there in Vanilla. Another thing, they increased aggro range on Alonne Knights in Iron Keep so they snipe you from a mile away. This an many more baffling decisions in Scholar!
Seriously, try Vanilla FIRST. The only downside is the DLC isn’t already included, like in SotFS.
Hey does anyone want to see the Massive’s canonical size?
Too bad here you go:
Using the Earth as a unit of measurement in ETF, the Massive is around 6000 km long.
Also does anyone know any other fictional ships that match or surpass the Massive in size?
Because I’ve been searching and every time I search for the “largest ships in fiction” it gives me ships that are a few kilometres at most. Maybe like 100 km if I’m lucky.
So the Massive is the largest (non-planet. I’m not counting planets that someone strapped a big engine to as ships.) ship in fiction until proven otherwise.
Just as a comparison to other ships listed among the biggest ships in fiction:
The Massive is:
315.7 tiimes the size of a Super Star Destroyer (19 kilometers)
37.5 times the size of the Death Star (160 kilometers)
10 times the size of the Independence Day Mothership (600 kilometers)
And don’t forget:
1.7 Times The Size Of The Fucking Moon (3474 km)!
I headcanon that because of the sheer size of the thing, a sizeable portion of the Massive’s interior is taken up by trains, trams, teleportation systems and other various forms of public transportation to get all the people and supplies needed to keep the Massive working where they need to go.
Also, the Massive contains farms and other factories meant to make the Massive basically self sufficient in terms of food, water and other things that the crew may need. They have more than enough space.
Invader Zim was an unparalleled media experience. Some alien nearly destroys his planet so he’s banished to be a fast food worker. He decides to stop being banished when he hears he can destroy more stuff so they send him to the far reaches of space on a false mission so he dies but earth is there. He decides to collect information on the planet to collect its weaknesses by going to public school. The only people who can see through his disguise are a neglected rich kid 12 year old obsessed with Mothman and his gamer girl sister. Both the siblings are goth. The Mothman kid is the only one interested in stopping the alien but not out of any moral obligation or anything but for that sweet sweet daddy’s love. One time the Mothman kid got a therapist who killed the previous therapist and took his place, and this is a d-plot within the episode at best. The flagship brand of soda in the universe is called poop cola. There was an episode about how Zims entire alien race is more machine than human, and their entire being is contained in the little metal backpacks that are attached to them at all times, and their bodies are more things to carry these PAKS around and if they were to detach they would die while the PAK would attach to the nearest creature, overwrite their mind and kill them. This episode was cancelled to make the Christmas special. Gir is there.
Short DPXDC Prompts #648
The League gets incredibly concerned that their main tech mechanic, Danny Fenton, has instances of his heart or breathing randomly stopping. His skin is cold as ice and his skin is deathly pale.
Danny didn’t realize that the League doesn’t look at hiring applications. If they did they would have seen that he put being a half ghost on his resume.
Batman absolutely looks at hiring applicants are you kidding me. He’s the only not freaking out because he already knows. It’s on the other Leaguers if they decide that they don’t need to go over anything Batman does just because they know he’s a perfectionist. Him not saying anything is actually him teaching them a lesson that they ALL need to thoroughly do their jobs even if they think another member can pick up their slack
"Is it me, or are the others acting a little... weird.. around me?" Danny asked, looking up from the project he'd been working on.
Batman looked from him to his colleagues, noticing not for the first time the 'sublte' glances they were throwing Fenton's way. Unfortunately, their brand of subtlety stranded just below the level of a sledgehammer.
So of course, the kid had noticed.
"It's not you. They're just idiots."
Fenton huffed. "Yeah, but compared to you, everyone is."
Batman decided not to address that statement.
"So you know what's going on, then? Care to share?"
After sending a glare in Superman's direction, which the man finally noticed and prompty scurried off, Batman huffed: "They didn't read you resume."
Fenton froze.
"Ah."
"Hm."
"Oh no."
"Hm."
"And you-" Fenton cleared his throat, trying to rid himself of the high pitch his voice had taken, "and you didn't tell them?"
"Hn."
Fenton blinked, taking a moment to process the new information. He blinked again.
"Why?"
Batman huffed.
"Like most educations, I'm starting with teaching them how to read."
As for why Batman didn't invite Danny into the league despite reading the application.
Batman is Batman. He does extremely thorough background checks. So even though Danny didn't mention it, B absolutely finds out that Danny is a retired vigilante.
But B is also a dad. He sees this "kid" (anyone Dick's age or younger is a kid in Bruce's head) who half died because of parental negligence and was subsequently shoved face first into the night life lest he lose his home, his family, and his life.
Who just wanted to be an astronaut, but would never be eligible for NASA again due to a combination of physical abnormalities from his nonconsenual species change and poor grades due to rogue attacks eating his time.
A teenager who took up his mantle, not because he wanted to, but because no one else could. Then proceeded to carry it so well that, even as his enemies grew stronger; his fights became less destructive, his school work steadily improved until he graduated with honors, and not once in his entire 4 year stint was there a single casualty- human or ghost. And after those 4 long years fighting alone, Phantom managed to broker a peace between the two dimensions that were each half of him now.
Batman looks at Danny and sees a child who took up the burden and carried it to completion. Then hung up his cape to pursue the closest thing he could to the dream that was stolen from him at 14.
Batman knows Danny could be an invaluable asset to the team. Bruce can't bring himself to ask that of the boy.
That doesn't stop him from putting a note at the very bottom of his contingencies list.
Absolute Last Resort: Call Danny Fenton
Batman absolutely starts signing Danny up for shit and Danny just lets him.
Batman signed him up for piloting lessons? Okay..?
Batman wants him to be certified in field medicine? Why not
Batman wants him to spend 300hrs on the Javelins? That seems like a lot, but orders are orders
Meanwhile Batman’s skulking around trying to get Danny to a position where he can take the Javelins out for a spin whenever he wants
Possibly my favorite version of this prompt
Dick frantically scrolled through the JL database on his wrist computer, looking for a clue, even a hint of a hope that Bruce had prepared for this.
Bruce planned for everything, so surely he had planned for this: all the Justice League, incapacitated, down for the count; and the Teen Titans, not far behind them.
There must be a plan for this, but the trick was finding it.
Subroutines, contingency plans, back-up strategies—and then he found it. Last Resort: Danny Fenton.
…that couldn’t be right.
Dick was pretty sure Danny Fenton was one of the tech guys on the Watchtower, maybe? Bruce had introduced Dick to him, once.
"This is one of our engineers, Robin. If anything happens to the station and I'm not available, ask Danny."
Danny had sort of laughed and played it off, as Dick recalled. We'd be in a sorry state indeed if Batman were unavailable, huh?
Dick couldn’t think of a better phrase than 'sorry state' to describe this situation. The tower wasn't in jeopardy so much as the whole world, based on what Dick knew about Brainiac.
He decided he didn’t have time to second guess whether Batman really meant Danny Fenton when he listed him as a last resort. If it were a typo, then the world was ending anyway and it wouldn’t matter if Dick called Danny Fenton and Danny Fenton couldn’t do anything to stop Brainiac.
But if Danny Fenton could do something…
Dick flipped through the contact list until he found the phone number.
The concept tho, that the JL have probably had a debriefing on Mr.Freeze and so would KNOW how long Nora has been frozen and subsequently able to tell how old Danny is - eyeballing it maybe but still- and honestly believe that's a viable option is hillarious.
Also Dick just leaving out the mention that Danny knows about planets being destroyed is *chefs kiss*, Dick really went "The technician's business is none of MY business."
Okay but Danny’s literal actual birthday is probably also in his file and the way they could go and look and know for sure but choose to eyeball him and guess tho
This one gets better every time I see it
The Justice League (incorrectly) assumed that Batman would share any important information he found, but Batman decided not to so they'd be forced to do stuff for themselves; it didn't work
Salient point the leaguers will never appreciate is that Batman shares pertinent information, regardless of importance.
Danny, possible apex form of a mythical interdimensional hybrid race, can incapacitate any and all JL level threats with ease, AND has technical, combat and negotiation expertise? Not pertinent information, they'll find it if they need it.
The bokoblins in tears of the kingdom seem smarter. They collect hunted meat in backpacks. They build fences. They use crafted weapons rather than just sticks like in botw. It begs the question: surely these are sentient creatures Link is murdering en masse? We collect their organs. We make potions out of them and eat their flesh. This is getting weird
The yiga were one thing because while they were human enemies, they always teleported away when you beat them. We never see a yiga die on screen. The bokoblins die by the hundreds. You loot their guts. Is this okay
That seems worse somehow???
I think we failed to learn the lesson Undertale was trying to teach
I think we failed to

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Just because a monster has to go grocery shopping doesn’t mean that monster doesn’t go around murdering innocent people after his pantry is full. He’s an enemy soldier occupying stolen land, and he just happened to draw the short straw when the stronger monsters looked for someone to go pick apples.
It’s like a Nazi soldier in occupied France, grabbing some lunch while he’s on break. Sure, he’s still a human being, but he’s also an enemy combatant engaging in imperial takeover.
If the Yiga didn’t teleport away, I wouldn’t show them any more mercy. They’re enemy soldiers occupying stolen land. They could surrender at any time.
We see in a memory cutscene in TOTK that monsters only appeared with the first Blood Moon from the Demon King’s power.
They are LITERALLY made of evil.
I don’t... I don’t know how much more you can make the killing of these guys justified, they are made of literal evil and they attack any hylian traveler on sight. They serve a guy who wants them to fight and slaughter until nothing is left alive in Hyrule (I think he even says something along those lines).
Look I liked Undertale, it was cool and had a nice message... But sometimes a monster is a monster it’s not that deep.
Can you imagine how absolutely devastated Link probably is emotionally in Tears of the Kingdom?
(Serious Spoilers below the cut)
zonai ruins in botw and zonai aesthetic in totk are so different, i don't know why they decided to change it like that. it's triggering something in me. i hate inconsistency
As much as I do like totk I too am not the biggest fan of the direction the took the zonai... mostly because it’s just Ancient Sheikah again. A civilization far in the past with vastly superior magi-tek? check. One-eyed robots doing everything? check. Artstyle based on an extinct culture (Jomon for the sheikah, pre-colombian mesoamerican for the zonai)? check. Were the reason why in the distant past the “great evil” of the game was rendered a non-threat until the game starts? check.
There’s also this feeling that a lot of question we might have had about the zonai were answered in really unsatisfying ways. Like the Labyrinths, they’re such huge structures! How were they built, what was their purpose/cultural significance, the Sheikah placed a shrine in there so was it built in collaboration with the Sheikah, or was it refurbished for the shrine after the zonai were gone?
The answer was “The zonai had magi-tek and used their robot servants to make it as a trial for link.” and that just kinda... ruins the mystique I guess. It’s little better than saying, “It was put there so you could have a challenge at this part of the game.”
“If you wanted timely rescue, you or Rauru could have been a LITTLE more forthcoming with information. It’s nice of him to share details of his life and home, and explain how his arm worked, but he didn’t convey ANYTHING ELSE in the amount of time available to us both.”
“Look the Nazca Lines are pretty and all, but I feel there must have been a more efficient method of telling me what happened and what to do. The Purah Pad not have a note app or something?”
mmm

Addition about the image, courtesy of Twitter user @lui_log: wrt the background image, which is a stone plaque showing a winged goddess flanked by owls: “Also, we don't know whether this is a depiction of Ishtar, as the piece has been looted, thus has no archaeological context that could point us to whom it shows. Nor does it bear an inscription. The owls could mean that it is Ishtar's sister Ereshkigal, Goddess of the Underworld.”
I feel the need to add, before people start to bring up “first sunday after the full moon after the spring equinox seems pretty pagan”, that the hebrew calendar is a lunar/solar calendar, and the first full moon after the equinox is usually* the 15th of the month of Nisan, i.e. Pesach**/Passover, i.e. the holiday going on when Jesus was arrested.
“The sunday after passover” doesn’t sound so pagan, does it?
*the only exceptions are hebrew leap years, that add an entire extra month
** Easter in other languages actually tends to be based on the Aramaic/Greek/Latin version of the name Pascha
