Chris/Hristos (he/him) Outgrew my quiet years, the name's now ironic.

Hi, welcome to whatever this is supposed to be!!

I just talk to the abyss and the abyss replies sometimes. You are the abyss now. Enjoy!!

The name's Hristos but noone bothers so Chris it is

The funniest part of A New Hope is that Luke Skywalker is a 19 year old who has not locked in yet and plays with toys and sleeps in his childhood bedroom at his aunt and uncle’s house and Leia Organa is a 19 year old with a mission to save the galaxy from fascism. Luke has never left his hometown, Leia just watched her planet be blown up. He’s peeved his uncle is asking him to do his chores, she’s imprisoned for resisting the government. You relate to them both but they’re on complete opposite sides of the 19 year old life stage spectrum.

Also Luke is clearly very lonely after his crush and best friend, Biggs, went away to college

Yes! Some people have misinterpreted this as me insinuating Luke is a wimp but he’s just in a very transitional life phase that is focused on growing and maturing. His friends are growing up and moving on, he’s anxious to join them but isn’t quite ready. He has ambition and goals but he just isn’t in a place where he is able to pursue those goals, he is immature and that isn’t a bad thing. 19 year olds SHOULD be able to ponder their place in the world and which direction they want their life to take. Leia has been in the public eye her entire life, she is a princess, she has been primed for greatness and she has been shouldered with so much responsibility. Luke is just his aunt and uncle’s nephew, they love him and don’t want him to leave, he’s trying to decide what to do.

[byjove]

He’s like a Midwest farm boy who is dreaming of the big city and she is like an old money New England heiress who has been told since birth she will follow her father’s career path into politics and has been sent to the most competitive schools and enrolled in the most rigorous extracurriculars.

[yourlocalquietkid]

Luke is the protagonist at the start of a coming-of-age plotline while Leia is in the 3rd season finale of her failed revolution plan when A New Hope takes place and you can fight me on this.

regulus black looked to his right and saw james potter.

yep, im definitely gay. he thought to himself.

he turned and looked to his right and saw lily evans

nevermind, he thought, im bisexual

[yourlocalquietkid]

As a multishipper, it warms my heart ❤️

[yourlocalquietkid]

This is the mindset. This.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

[omikronsoul]

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

[yourlocalquietkid]

The VOCALS in that thing, OH LORD

Oooo that girl knows how to sing. DAHM!!!

[yourlocalquietkid]

Seeing people in dresses just make me so happy, idk why

[yourlocalquietkid]

GUYS, I just realised, why does noone consider that Regulus' animagus form would be a bat? Like, I keep seeing cats and snakes but no bats.

BOY DIED IN A CAVE!!

[yourlocalquietkid]

How’s the sims going?

Haven't touched them in a while (that did not sound very good but we'll ignore it)

Genuinely been staying away from my laptop recently cause of exams

[yourlocalquietkid]

I'm starting to understand why people say artists and allat are fucked up, like, ye, mate, real astute observation, NOW BE A DEAR AND PASS THE COCAINE

[catchymemes]

[yourlocalquietkid]

I don't know why I stay up this late. I think it's because, once it gets late enough, life might just feel real. The night is so peaceful. I like how the wind blows.

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
