My tags!

#nsfw text — mentions of NSFW topics.

#if i had to see this so do you — stuff that freaked me out, but in a I-must-reblog way (as opposed to “I-must-not-share-this-with-anyone” way).

#too funny not to share — stuff I found silly. The line between this and #funny is arbitrary and the distinction is made by yours truly.

#minimum deaths run — I’ve done a run for Fire Emblem: Three Houses where I try to kill as few enemies as possible. I may do other runs. I also use the tag for discussing theoretical aspects of minimum death runs (like strategies and such). Here is a post that talks about my rules (though it starts off talking about the Three Houses run).

#vent post — me complaining about things. Generally nitpicky in nature, but I do enjoy the games I’m posting about.

#shipping discourse — What it says on the tin. Some may find this tiring.

#jojo’s bizarre liveblog — I watch JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure on occasion. The #dad edition tag refers to when I watch with my dad.

#liveblog engage! — I am playing Fire Emblem Engage. I have thoughts on it, mostly of the critical variety.

#game design sins — Sometimes, video games have ill-thought out mechanics, or mechanics that simply didn’t age well. Think of this tag as “what not to do as a game designer.”

#snes classic modding — I have an SNES Classic. I have modded it. My (mis)adventures are chronicled in this tag.

If you need me to tag for anything, let me know! I will update this post as I add things I tag for.

"You can't ship that!"

lol what are you gonna do, climb inside my mind and shut off the imagination switch?

This kind of response always fascinates me, so while I've got you here, can I just ask: legal by what standards? Do you mean real world standards, where laws vary from country to country, and in the case of the US, state to state? Or do you mean the fictitious laws set in place in the fictional setting of the ship? What standard exactly should we use to tell people "you're not allowed to enjoy this fictional thing?"

I know you didn't mean any harm by your response, but I feel it's important to reiterate that nothing gives anyone the right to police what people do in a fictional setting, full stop. Because at the end of the day, it's fiction, it's a fantasy, none of it is real, and so real world rules and standards do not apply. So, as long as you are not actively causing harm in a real world setting (i.e. harassing real people over fictional ships) then you do you.

a very important addition

Whoops. Sorry guys, looks like we can't read, write, or watch any fictional content with murder in it because it's illegal.

I wonder something.

If one were to somehow edit Edelgard’s lines as the Flame Emperor with the echoing effects removed, would it still sound like her?

Tara Platt/Ai Kakuma are credited as both in the end credits, so I assume so.

the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys

funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls
