medusa lashes and manga lashes trends respectively probably indicate we are finally entering the sophistication stage of the lash extension era which is huge for me because if i have to see one more irl woman walking around with crusty piled-up horse mustache extensions in line at the trader joe's im going to scream

2018 was a good year

[tamara-kama]

We absolutely did care about graphics. On the PC side we were blown away by graphically demanding games like Quake that forced us to upgrade our hardware to some of the first graphics cards capable of 3D graphics acceleration and CPUs that could handle the floating point requirements of the game!

Console people had to buy new cutting edge consoles to play the latest games with the latest graphics on that side too like shown in the screenshots!

Oftentimes we like going to the arcade because they could get hardware that was more advanced than what was available for the home capable of even better graphics.. this was especially true during the 16-bit days!

Arcade games had bespoke hardware and most of the time for one reason or another compromises had to be made in home versions.

Another example: When Killer Instinct was the hot new fighting game in the arcade people used to glance over at Mortal Kombat II with the stink eye and speak derisively of it because the graphics where more cutting edge in Killer Instinct with the higher resolution and 2.5D backgrounds it had!

What's in a Name — Miraculous Ladybug

5. KWAMI

5.1. Yin-Yang Tier

Tikki: according to Thomas Astruc, it's supposed to mean "happiness" in a language he can't remember. After doing some research, I believe he was going for the Greek word "eftychia". Interestingly enough, this word had the meaning of "good luck" in Ancient Greek, and is ultimately derived from the Ancient Greek word "tyche", meaning "luck, fortune", which was also the name of the Greek goddess of luck, equivalent to the Roman goddess Fortuna.

Plagg: from English "plague".

5.2. Top Tier

Trixx: from English "tricks".

Wayzz: either from English "wise" or "ways".

Pollen: self-explainatory.

Nooroo: either from the Japanese pronunciation of English "null", as this was his name in previous drafts, or from an Arabic word meaning "light". That, or "neuro-".

Duusu: either from French "douce" ("sweet", F), Luxembourgish "duuss" ("gentle, tender, soft") or various Slavic words for "soul", like Polish "dusza" or Czech "duše".

5.3. Zodiac Tier

Mullo: from French "mulot", meaning "field mouse". It was initially supposed to be Toppo, from the Italian word for mouse ("topo"), but this was changed during development. This latter name did, however, still end up being used once in the English dub of Kwamibuster.

Stompp: self-explainatory.

Roarr: self-explainatory.

Longg: from Mandarin "long", meaning "dragon".

Sass: most likely from the hissing sound a snake makes.

Kaalki: in reference to Kalki, the tenth avatar of the god Vishnu, which is depicted as a white horse.

Ziggy: most likely from German "Zeige", meaning "goat". Is also a reference to Ziggy Stardust.

Xuppu: in reference to Xu Sheng, a character from "Journey to the West" who initially rejects the existence of Sun Wukong before becoming a devotee of his in the story "The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal" by Pu Songling. The name is a blending of the character's name and the author's.

Barkk: self-explainatory.

Orikko: from "cocorico", which is the French word for the sound a rooster makes.

Daizzi: in reference to the pig character Zhu Baije from "Journey to the West", who is often called "Dai Zi", meaning "idiot".
