Imagine a kobold with tits the size of her head, a lichtenberg scar of bronze scales over her eye, and the ability to shoot lightning from her hands.
And then imagine that kobold yapping angrily about video games.
That's me, basically.
it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul
congrats you want to live and be happy
bad news the world doesn't want that for you
I'll still love fully and crawl to hope until my body gives out anyway I guess
YouTube videos about open-world games are like "I CAN'T BELIEVE the devs thought of this" about literally the first thing any playtester who enjoys causing problems on purpose would think to try.
What usually gets that reaction from me is when the devs do something clever and specific. Like, wow, if you use a simple but kinda boring exploit to walk all the way out into the ocean, you get destroyed by lightning from a sudden storm. That's so much cooler than an invisible wall. If you finagle an item into the level transition, there's a voiceline rather than just stripping the item from me. Nifty.
Where it's less "the devs thought of this" and more "the devs put thought into this."

Here's an article from last year about his life and work and his reaction to being a meme:
Do your part - use literally anything other than Google Chrome
Reminder that switching to Firefox is incredibly easy and takes just a few minutes, you WILL be able to copy over all your cookies, browsing history, logins etc, as well as change the look/layout so it feels like what you’re used to.
I don’t know if this has been asked before but like, how do you draw gengars? They look cool the way you draw them and personally they are on my list of Pokémon I’ll maybe try to draw in a couple decades if I can bring myself to try that’s just how wack they are to draw for me.
I am very particular on how i draw Gengar, basically i make his body his face XD
I mentioned before i gave him very Pikachu esque figure but the truth is i just over exaggerate how i draw Gengar! Instead of the traditional boxy shape Gengar is, i give him a more roundish Egg shape that i can just play with.
His ears are typically static Cones with only the barest hints of movement. So i elongated them and made em rounder, good for expression making, and only turn them sharper and cone like in moments of intense emotions like anger or crazy. Then I give him slightly floppy feet just for the kicks, i thought it fiit well with how i was already exaggerating his body
Hope this helps with how I draw Gengar lol!
its 9 pm and the sun is just now setting >:)
The plan is simple
We have to kill the sun
#if this had said to say the thing 9 times I think this might have been one of those trick you into looking at the OK hand symbol thing#cuz in american sign language#six through nine involve touching your thumb to each of your fingers#starting with the pinky for six and ending with the index for nine#which would make 9 the OK gesture#.... I don't get it otherwise.
Tears of the Kingdom is the first time the Zelda series has produced a direct, it's-the-same-Link-we-swear-you-guys sequel since 2007's Phantom Hourglass, so this is probably many contemporary fans' first turn on this particular merry-go-round.
Allow me to assure you: there is no great mystery, and there is no master plan. Every worldbuilding inconsistency and every bit of timeline weirdness between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is purely a product of the fact that the Zelda franchise's writers have the creative impulse control of a pack of squirrels, and don't give a single solitary fuck about continuity.
When you accept that this is true, and you see how cavalierly they're willing to treat continuity even between two games which are ostensibly direct sequels starring the same cast of characters and set just a few years apart, you may begin to understand why the timeline of the series as a whole looks the way that it does.

i get your point. I promise you I do. But where the HELL did all the shieka tech go. The guardians i can see being all scrapped (impressive they all got got), the towers could sink back into the ground…but please god just give me ONE BOOK telling me the divine beasts left hyrule as a final will of the champions! or something! HOW DO YOU LOSE FOUR GIANT ROBOT ANIMALS?!
I mean, we can fanwank whatever justification we want, but the real answer is that it didn't "go" anywhere. It retroactively never existed.
In Breath of the Wild's continuity, the Ancients are all-but-explicitly stated to be the ancestors of the modern Sheikah people, so it makes sense that all the Ancient tech that's lying around is Sheikah-made.
In Tears of the Kingdom's continuity, the writers decided they had a better idea, and now the Ancients are – and, critically, always have been – an Ancient Aliens/UFOlogy-inspired culture called the Zonai.
Obviously, the surviving Ancient tech can't possibly be Sheikah-made if the Ancients were the Zonai. Any suggestion to the contrary is clearly the product of your over-active imagination.
The fanwank I'm going with is that I'd heard some time shenanigans happened in Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, so obviously any inconsistencies are just because reality literally got rewritten between BotW and TotK. And anything that sounds like NPCs seem completely unaware that BotW happened is because everyone except those most strongly involved in either BotW's plot or Age of Calamity's plot literally aren't able to remember anything about BotW except maybe that there was a big problem a few years back. They might even be vaguely aware that Link and Zelda were the ones that helped fix it! It only barely happened now, and any plotholes are literally the capillary holes left in the fabric of reality.
TBH I'm too happy to gush about the aesthetic differences between the 'Ancient' tech and the 'Zonai' tech and the way that the new powers completely change the play-flow and design space so delightfully, to worry about what happened to BotW's shit in the sequel most of the time.

A brief appreciation of Peter Falk in Columbo, by Joe Dator in The New Yorker
I need to watch Columbo.
Well, the other reason is that it’s all now available online to stream on Peacock. I am one of the people who mainlined all the seasons in about five weeks. I fucking love that show.
I stan Columbo.
Columbo is my ult.
Just biding my time really. I finally finished my chronological viewing of Murder She Wrote.
Bi-monthly reminder that the full series is also available on the Internet Archive, free of charge: https://archive.org/details/columbo
It's a smidge harder to put stuff from archive.org up on the television for a tuesday night watch, but it's always good to know when something's available on Internet Archive!
(If you're like my household, have a smart TV, and don't mind commercials, it's also on Tubi)
