Most disappointing thing in all of Deathloop was the fact that you can't disguise yourself as a wolf and go to Alexis Dorsey's Devouring of the Lambs party

It feels so much like you should be able to do that that I actually think it might have been the plan and was cut for some reason

Everyone talks about how everyone knows Colt's face, but the wolf mask is the perfect disguise!

There's so much symbolism! You could literally be a wolf in sheep's clothing - or rather a wolf in wolf's clothing - among a bunch of sheep in wolf's clothing.

Imagine slipping through a fully stacked party with Egor and Wenjie in attendance, taking all three Visionaries out one by one.

Imagine stepping up to the microphone on that meatgrinder stage and describing everything you'd done in the loop so far, and if you'd killed enough people they'd start to applaud for you, until their cheers turn to horrified gasps as they realise exactly who you are

Arkane did us dirty when they didn't give us this, especially after the fact that they did the masquerade ball in Dishonored 1

I'm sorry

watching a video about this cargo ship that blew up in texas in the 40’s and it’s like . i know that with a lot of incidents especially older ones like this the reason that the safety standards were so shitty was because they literally did not know that these kinds of disasters COULD happen (and in many cases these disasters are what MADE the safety standards better) but sometimes you just learn about this shit and you think. how could all these people be so stupid

- cargo of the ship consisted of twine (flammable) peanuts (flammable, oily) and cotton (FLAMMABLE) from houston and POST WAR AMMUNITION (OH MY GOD) FROM CUBA

- additional cargo they were picking up in texas city was LOOSE BAGS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE that the dock workers described as being ANOMALOUSLY WARM UPON BEING LOADED INTO THE SHIP ??????

- small fire breaks out in cargo hold, instead of putting it out with water that could damage the cargo the captain decides to close all the hatches to try to make the cargo hold airtight and smother the fire (stupid but you can kind of understand how they got there)

- the heat of the trapped smoke in the cargo hold instead causes the aforementioned LOOSE BAGS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE to undergo a chemical reaction and turn into nitrous oxide, massively increasing the pressure inside of the airtight hold

- one of the hatch covers fails

- mfw all the pressure in the cargo hold is released at once causing an explosion that fucking levels everything in the port within 2000 feet

- mfw the shockwave shatters windows up to a hundred miles away

- mfw on-fire twine and peanuts and fucking grenades are raining down over texas city

- mfw some of the pieces of the ship got launched into the sky faster than the speed of sound

- mfw they found the ship’s anchor inside of a ten foot wide crater over a mile and a half away

- mfw this was one of the largest and most devastating non-nuclear explosions in world history

- mfw this could have been avoided if they’d just taken the L and put the fire out with water

also worth a mention: the SECOND boat that exploded in a very similar manner the next day which was an even more violent explosion, but less devastating because most of the port was. you know. already leveled and evacuated

someone running rescue and recovery after the FIRST boat exploded noticed that the second boat's cargo was on fire and reported it....and this just went. ignored. for several hours. until someone was like "oh shit better get this under control" and tried to move the boat to no avail and they just gave up and evacuated

next day it started raining glowing-hot metal boat chunks all over the city. AGAIN.

Today's problematic ships are the Grandcamp (first explosion) and High Flyer (second explosion).

Apparently Halifax and Texas really don't like ships full of explosives

hello people today i ask: what is your favorite artificial flavor, generally? like if you’re having a new artificially flavored thing and need to pick a standard flavor, what are you going for?

I’m reading a book on the history of man-made monsters and at one point it casually mentions “the famous Pope Formosus, who was the focus of the terrifying Cadaver Synod.” I can’t believe I went to Catholic school and was never taught about this… what’s the point. It turns out that in the 9th century a Pope decided to sue the previous pope, who had died the year before, and so naturally they dug up his corpse and dressed it in full pope outfit to hold the trial in his “presence”. The dead pope was pronounced guilty and cancelled (his papacy was declared null). Then the next pope held another synod that uncancelled him and forbade future cadaver trials. Then the next-next pope went “no, digging up a corpse to sue it was a good idea” and re-cancelled Formosus. Lesser-known chapter of Catholic Church history. 

What does this have to do with man-made monsters you might say—my book mentions that among other things Formosus was accused of dabbling in alchemy and creating a “frog with huge eyes” who showed “diabolical intelligence.” The brief mention of him ends with

if the pope’s sentient evil frog actually existed rest assured that it was possibly destroyed

It looked like this trust me I was there

God help me theyre playing wonderwall in here

(also, 2 more things: 1: if that photo has multiple fictional characters, all of the fictional characters in that photo will be your roommates. 2: for characters that can only live in certain conditions, those conditions will be ignored, and they’ll still be able to live.)

(sorry if you don't like this content, I just saw one of those "fictional character in photo roll" posts and thought I would make one.)

I'm gonna hear this mf yelling about bearing witness at 3am. And he "borrows" your stuff (limbs) and never give them back.

friendly reminder that you actually are morally obligated not to be horrible ghouls when someone dies no matter how much you disliked them or how bad they might have been

Also friendly reminder to particularly my religious followers that we have NO WAY of knowing whether someone went to hell and also you should not wish hell on anyone

There is NO POINT at which someone was bad enough that you are released from your obligation to be AT LEAST decent. Even if there was such a point Queen Elizabeth would not have come even close to reaching it. Stop being terrible and repent

Opening/shutting doors by hipchecking them is fun and useful, like, my hands are full, my ass is fat, and I'm about to send this flimsy gas station door to meet god.
