I detest the 'empires typically last 250 years' factoid because it's straight up made up. there is no historical precedent for this, it's pure, unfettered cope.
I'm not even sure how you'd judge that. Likr does every dynasty of countries like China and Persia count as an "empire"? And do Rome and Byzantium count separately?
Let me just look that last one up, guessing it’s a simple settled yes/no.
*sound of increasingly frantic page flipping, book covers thumping on the table*

It is kind of funny when you read about the sums of money that get spent on, like, space missions or particle accelerators, and yeah, they're in the billions of dollars, but they're an absolute drop in the bucket compared to the bottomless amounts of money that get poured into the military or wasted on tax cuts for billionaires.
The Large Hadron Collider, which achieves particle energies of up to 14 TeV and recreates conditions in the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, costs approximately $10 Billion in today's money, a figure equivalent to approximately 1% of Elon Musk's fortune, or approximately 20 seasons of Amazon's Rings of Power.
(or approximately 1/4 cost of ending world hunger for one year)
Do yall ever fantasize about having some sort of major illness/injury just so that for a time it's justified for you to be given attention and cared for so you don't feel guilty about it or are you just normal?
snakes really make you appreciate how gross mammals really are. squamates are very dry and clean
a bird is a kind of reptile that has learned to be yucky.
people with siblings: how do you feel about them?
I mean it’s not their fault they have siblings, so take it on a case by case basis I guess.
They should invent a glasses that you can lay on your side in bed wearing
this is so funny i can't

It’s hard to eat enough library paste to be fatal, but he really stuck to it.
It takes a while to take effects after the first litre he was on borrowed time.

After a 5 year hiatus, national embarrassment Conor McGregor debuts in his own mma tournament called World's Baddest Man and his very first move is to blow out his knee and collapse to the ground
I am not what you would call patriotic, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just saw my doctor type "FUCKED FOR LIFE" on my chart then he turned the screen away and stopped making eye contact with me

RE: Zombie fucking
Brain Dead/ Dead Alive dir by Peter Jackson has consensual (?) zombie fucking and a zombie baby but that was between 2 zombies. Also, that movie is very uh wet and squelchy, so if anyone has issues with that-- not for you. (Very fun and silly watch, esp when you remember who directed)
Oh my god THAT Peter Jackson???? I'm adding this to my Movie Night roster
You may think learning that the LotR guy directed Brain Dead is a surprise but IMAGINE how it felt for those of us old enough to discover that the Brain Dead guy is directing LotR
we need legislation banning games >100GB
OPTIMIZE YOUR SHIT BETTER THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A 150GB GAME!!!
upon reviewing the notes I'm changing my position. games must be <50GB. no more mandatory 8k uncompressed textures!!! I don't believe in 8k I think it's fake
to be clear games really ought to be around 20 gigs or less. but I think in the spirit of generosity and mercy we won't criminally prosecute the developers until the file sizes breaks 50
Helldivers 2 heard you and went from 156 to 23
wait is that real
just looked it up. holy fuck. they did it by de-duplicating assets. I'm just. my jaw is on the floor. supposedly duplicating assets helps load times on HDDs but. holy fuck at what cost
it's worse than that: The Helldivers devs were told that duplicating assets would help HDD load times, but then they actually tested it and it had basically zero effect on load times!
So they had more than sextupled the size of their game by following industry standard practice that actually did basically nothing!
aren't you violating your parole with this pedo content?
I think i might've found the weirdest bot on this site
absolutely wild
back on the topic of game sizes and optimization, I was going to ask how this would apply to sandbox games with large sprawling worlds, would they just be prevented from having high graphical fidelity that more linear, smaller games can have, but then I realized that they already don't have to take that hit. as an example, Fallout 4, along with all the dlc, is 30 gb. Doom 2016, which is smaller, came out the year after, and doesn't look that much better than Fallout 4, is 68 gb. so big sandbox games probably wouldn't have to worry about it much more than other games
I don’t know if it’s still true, but when I played you could *masssively* shrink the install size of Elder Scrolls Online by deleting the voice assets of languages you’re not listening too. Would I ever want to listen to ESO in French? Not enough to keep those tens of gigabytes around!
At least Fallen London understands me.
i don’t need to say it
don’t say anything. just reblog this if you’re thinking of exactly that thing when you see this picture
