word of the day is strabismus. brought to you by at least one of my mutuals. referring to the condition also known as lazy eye, squint, or cross eye. origin comes from the ancient greek word for squint. y'know considering what squinting is it seems pretty bizarre to call it a squint but what do i know. also good structure. it's got that ancient greek vibe to it and it goes from str to b which is pretty rare

It's like you're all just saying whatever words and phrases come to mind, with no regard for if you're making any sense or if they're actual words.

I'm pretty sure that's the same hat.

I am once again thinking about the Robin Hood to Han Solo to shitty action hero pipeline

i literally want to like. icepick the brains of everyone involved in the thing of 2002 (INCLUDING john carpenter but we've known that etc etc) because like... okay the studio thatcreated it (computer artworks) had exactly one other game under their belt and then like. literally went under before they could make a sequel despite this game somehow being a resounding success (it made an 8.5/10 on ign, i suspect because the critic who reviewed it had no idea what the fuck they were talking about) and this was UNIVERSAL that owned the thing property they decided to hand off creation to this game to a studio so underground that if you search the lead designer he literally does not show up! they did that! and then the game itself which is so clearly a rip off of games like half life that it's almost laughable. but they also introduced many interesting mechanics! but those mechanics literally do not work! it's concept work! freelance modders made it such that the mechanics actually operate as intended! computer artworks didn't do that. and the story! the story which is a direct spit to the 1982 film it claims it's based on! it resolves the question the ending centered around within the first ten minutes of gameplay, it completely brushes off the way the thing actually operated, our central struggle isn't "what if the thing reaches the rest of the world" but "what if this guy who injected himself with alien can't control it"... and john carpenter okayed this (presumably because there's a character who he voices and looks like him who is arguably the one of the only good npcs)

god I love it when two very different OCs of mine seem to have the same MBTI type so I’m like ‘ookaaay clearly my typing is shit’ but then I think about it and realise those two characters do actually have a fair bit in common on a level so fundamental I didn’t notice it. This is why I love this method of character development, it really gets me thinking about my characters. (except for Tallon, the apparently-impossible-to-type one. fuck you, Tallon.)
