Tumblr is so funny because you can make a post like "hey do not mix bleach and vinegar in your cleaning, you'll make chlorine gas and you do not want to make chlorine gas. It is dangerous to mix these two specific chemicals together", and the comments are like
"Um vinegar isn't dangerous?? My mom cleans things with vinegar all the time and we have never had lung issues. White people are insane." (<- does not use bleach, missing the point)
"OH MY GOD BLEACH IS CHLORINE GAS? NOBODY EVER TOLD ME I'VE BEEN CLEANING WITH BLEACH MY WHOLE LIFE, I WILL DIE." (<- has literally never used vinegar in cleaning, and never mixed the two, missing the point)
"This is just stupid fearmongering, we use bleach and vinegar to wash the floors all the time, OP is lying." (<- does not actually know what "vinegar" is, and is confusing the word for something else)
"Yeah this is true enough but also keep in mind that this kind of household cleaning product chlorine gas is too weak and unreliable to use for domestic terrorism purposes." (<- raises concerns, but potentially has a point)
WARNING
I know there's been a lot of chatter about Twitter rebranding to X, but if you have any photosensitive triggers, DO NOT go to Musk's user page to see what he's up to. There is a gif of the new X logo front and center in his recent posts that glitches around with a LOT of flashing lights. It hurt MY eyes to look at, and I don't have any issues with flashing.
genuinely speechless over this being seen as “chubby.” like i really believe some of you should be hit with a baseball bat
same energy as this. you are all so fucking stupid
We have to start killing people

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th
No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
This is humanity
Happy Birthday, Curiousity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity.
"Visual Novel" is a medium, not a genre. Most bad takes from both players and devs are from getting that backwards. But there's a reason for that: VNs are one of the few subsets of games where broad/common mechanics do ~not~ denote genre.
To use an example from a category that is a genre, when you say something is a FPS, you're immediately saying something about the core unit of interaction. Let's get even more specific and say something is a boomer shooter.
When you hear something is a boomer shooter you know:
1. You'll be spending a lot of time shooting. 2. That shooting will be fast-paced. 3. Aggressive movement
You can also generally assume the aesthetic theme will be something adjacent to sci-fi or horror.
When you hear that a game is a visual novel you know: 1. That you will read. 2. You might make narrative choices (but you also might not)
That's it. That's all you know. It's the equivalent of writing a book and then telling people "this is a book." Lots of things are books!
This is because the core unit of interaction in a visual novel is ~not~ a mechanic. It's the narrative. Which means that as a dev, you need to sell the fantasy of your VN, not its loose identity.
And as a player, "I don't like books a lot of books are smut" isn't substantial.
But because most categories of games do sell genre, it means a lot of devs market their work poorly and miss out on a large cut of potential players, and a lot of players miss out on some great narratives they might have loved.
I don't want video games to let me choose whether my character has Penis A or Penis B, I want them to administer a comprehensive twelve-part questionnaire about how I think elves reproduce and procedurally generate a set of genitals based on my answers.
This post has attracted the expected number of this-is-just-Homestucks, but I have several questions for the person who tagged it #pokemon mystery dungeon.
