The dunmeshi anime should have one of those EDs where they make anime girls do choreographed idol dances except it’s marcille doing the worst dance you’ve ever seen in your life. Not even in a cute way it just sucks ass and you wish someone would put her out of her misery.
i watched a really insane guilty gear combo video with cadence the other day. it was titled like “10x sidewinder dustloops” which clickbaited me because i know that’s almost completely impossible. it was way stranger than i thought it would be, firstly because it was narrated entirely through segments of lyrics video style text. there are several mechanics in that game that make it nearly impossible to do that combo. in guilty gear accent core +r when a player is knocked into the air a timer begins for when they regain control of their character, which gets reset but shortened every time you get hit. certain moves (sidewinder) have a property that can effectively extend this, but it has to be a “clean hit.” the hitbox for sidewinder has to touch a very small section of the other player’s hurtbox or it will not count as a “clean hit” and the combo fails. the problem is this section shrinks every time you hit it during the same combo, all the way down to a single pixel. so, to do this combo you must hit at least nine clean hit sidewinders, seven of which must literally be pixel perfect. then, the tenth sidewinder has to be roman cancelled into. the video ended with footage of the single time he was able to do 9 in a row, then another screen of windows movie maker lyric video text describing himself as an average guy talented at nothing. saying he wasn’t even good at guilty gear. that he just wanted to see if he could do it, so he practiced for like 1300 hours and is still going at the time of that video, still trying to hit nine in a row again so he can try the tenth one. that if someone with no talent like him can do this, you could do anything. it ended with a frame saying “light your hearts on fire”
I’d like to update this with the fact that he just uploaded a video of him finally hitting the tenth one
obsessed with the immortal girl thinking she'll be alone forever until she meets another girl and falls in love - and it turns out she's immortal too 😳
I post these two a lot on twitter, but the dark haired shortie is Citrus, a troublemaking fae, and the one with the ponytail is @bibinella's lovely introverted vampire Lexi!!
How I feel everytime I have to be a customer
Wait a minute if elves take a hundred years to grow up that has some weird implications.
So… if we say a human comes of age in fantasy worlds at 16, that means it takes an elf 6.25 years to age one human year. If we say the age of maturity is 18 that’s 5.55 years.
So then… okay with people that live a long time have to see their human friends die and probably see them like pets yeah that’s been explored to death. But what about a human just seeing their friend not grow up?
An elf toddler and a human toddler become friends at a playdate. At the time the human is two and the elf is 13. Emotionally the elf is just a little older than the human. But then the human grows up. He grows up and as he grows up his friend doesn’t. Not much, anyways.
She’s still sucking her thumb and throwing tantrums the entire time that he grows up. When he reaches the age where he’d choose a trade or go to an academy he’s earning extra money by babysitting her. During his initiation into adulthood on his 18th birthday she’s there with her parents holding a stuffed animal. Later that afternoon he sees her being shown some colorful flashcards with letters of the elvish alphabet on it by her father.
The human gets older. He learns how to fight, he goes from town to town getting work. At some point he joins the army. Every time he visits his hometown he has at least one more scar and by the time he’s 30 and the elf girl is mentally seven by human standards she starts to understand that something is wrong. Even after he settles down to be a home maker for the local blacksmith something feels wrong.
And she watches him grow old. When she’s in her 80s she babysits his grandchildren for extra cash after school, coming over in her school robes and ruffling his hair. She doesn’t remember why she became friends with this human or when but a strange sense of jealousy fills her heart.
Now she realizes it. She realizes it too late, on the day her friend learns that he is dying. The first day of her 100th year and the start of his last. Humans’ lifetimes may only last for the childhood of an elf if they’re lucky, but they learn so fast. They do so much. They cram their days full of love and hate and learning and wonder.
He knew this was coming. He knew all of this decades before she did, because elves are slow. Not stupid, certainly not stupid, but very very slow. She holds her old friend’s hand as he lays down on his bed. A man that has led such an ordinary life but feels so extraordinary to her. Because he has always, always been there and now he just won’t. Because in her eyes he became so wise so fast and now he’s just gonna be gone.
On an elf’s 100th birthday they are allowed to choose a new name for themselves. It can be important, or not. Usually it will follow them until the end of time. She stands in front of her family’s elders and is asked what name she will be called from now on.
She names herself after him.
what they dont tell you about strategy based games is that its hard if you're stupid
i have some awful news. logic based games are also hard if you're stupid
it's so fucking funny that tumblr had it bad for the "alcoholic bassist with shark teeth" from bocchi bc let's be real they're right and she gets cooler and hotter every episode she's in just by the sheer amount of coolness and patheticness she's paradoxically embodying at all times
a lot of scantily clad women with numbers in ther urls are following me lately. they must be smitten with my devilish charm
Imagine if thousands of years from now, the only thing that's left of you is your broken heart???
