It's so funny how Todd Howard's so beloved. This man lies to us year after year and every single Bethesda fan, fully aware it's an hour of lies, eats it up with excitement if only to see just what Todd will lie about this time.

It's so interesting a case because any other game developer who's tried this even once was witchhunted into oblivion (just look at the No Man's Sky director) but because Bethesda games are (usually) decently fun if hilariously broken and because Todd has been a public figure for so damn long that everyone's familiar with him, the man gets away with overselling and overpromising his games every single time.

As soon as I heard 1000 planets in Starfield and actually got hyped for just a second, I knew Todd had done it again.

Guy has legit charisma. When he was peddling Fallout 76, I did not believe a word he said, but thought to myself, damn, if it was anyone else saying any of this, it wouldn’t sell at all. But because it’s Todd saying it, yeah, it sounds fun, and the only reason why I’m not excited is because I already know about his wily tricks.

It's true. You see enough interviews and presentations and you realize there's actually a damn good reason why Todd's leadership has survived the incredibly brutal world of AAA game development for decades: this guy is a god at selling shit.

In an industry that started (and continues to be) filled with incredibly stiff presentations filled with either well-meaning but awkward developers or completely out of touch CEOs, Todd's ability to consistently sell his games as the greatest shit you've ever seen without ever losing his salesman touch for over two and a half decades is ridiculous, even more so that his fanbase spent those two and a half decades fully aware of Todd salesmanning them and yet buying into it every time.

I remember an interview where someone asked how they could possibly get away with rereleasing Skyrim so many times on ever platform known to the human race and Todd answered that, despite being old and literally everywhere, people kept buying Skyrim anyway. This man sold Skyrim so hard that people were buying ports of this game a decade after it already released on all major platforms.

I'm sure in another life he could have made a cult

im sorry for reblogging this again but this tag has obliterated me

For anyone who’s wondering, that is a yellow spotted box fish. And they love human attention and have the personalities of small puppies. Also, if you stress them out they release a toxin that kills everything around them.

every day of my life i scream and cry and throw up bc i dont have this jumper

Hot take: The much quieter level of corporate Pride this year is not worth celebrating.

Not because I want to spend my dollars on Pride merch sold by corporations that don’t care, but because the near-absence of corpo Pride is a canary in the coal mine. Corpo Pride is a barometer of sorts for social acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. If Corpo Pride goes away, it should be because being LGBTQ+ is so normalized and seen as “no big deal” that there’s no message to ‘sell’ anymore; but what’s happening now is NOT that.

“no polyamory at pride” is some chronic no bitches shit. that’s got to be made up. no gay person would say that they’d have no fucking friends

Pink dude in my yard!! Look at this guy!!!!!

Essential information of previous post:

If you are transfem, this shit will increase your testosterone levels.

They are lying to you to take your money. Don't fucking touch it. Tell your friends and family.

If you're desperate, DIY is an option. The subreddit r/TransDIY is an excellent resource, as is the DIY Wiki.

If what you really want is a herbal supplement, there are certain herbs that will have a minor antiandrogenic effect. The DIY resources here will have more information on it.

Edit: the dose of ashwagandha is so high that it will give you serotonin syndrome within four to eight weeks. This shit is evil.

Actually, the malpractise incident is 100% NOT Mimi Miney's fault in Ace Attorney.

1.) Her boss canonically overworked her

2.) I have a cousin that's a nurse, and PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO CHECK FOR MISTAKES LIKE THIS. The fact that nobody did is a problem of itself.

3.) The doctor, probably Dr. Grey, should have noticed the mistake.

She was the scapegoat.

NASA putting mice in zero-g environments is one of the funniest fucking tests anyone has ever done and I hate having to hand that to them. Put those beasts in a situation.

Watching the difference between the Twitter migration mentality vs. the Reddit migration mentality is fucking hilarious.

Like, when Twitter users started moving over here everyone was pulling out all the stops and bringing back old fandoms that they were into and basically firing rent lowering shots by being super cringey.

And then all of the sudden when the Reddit refugees start showing up we're like, "ah yes, pull up a log and gather around the dumpster fire. We'll teach you how to not get killed by people hunting down bots and carve out a little area for you guys to relax and get used to the site before we throw you into the deep end of this hellsite that we call home. Tomorrow is Let Papyrus say Fuck day so you can prepare for that if you want. You want some hot coco and a blanket?"
