We can bring to birth a new world

this is stupid but I genuinely worry that kids ARE being priced out of video games like. totk is heavily sanitized to maintain a particular rating that often works against itself but like, I struggle to imagine the kid who's approaching their parents like "one hundred dollars for a video game please" my biggest gaming triumph was in high school when my parents bought us an xbox 360 and one game. we got the wii as it was going out of style and played primarily gamecube games on it, and even back then to buy a new gamecube game or a DS game was a twenty dollar endeavour. what kind of slideshow does a ten year old have to present in order to convince their parents to drop a hundie on legend of zelda.

so magical how there was no leadup to the release of gollum, no advertising no warning it just came out and was bad immediately.

this is so fucking funny

me and the gang playing dnd

me trying to sound intelligent when asked about math

Let me guess, this is a hentai.

This is yu gi oh

Next Poll!

Terriermon got fifty percent, but is unfortunately the incorrect guess.

Ruki and Jen are closer, but my favorite is Impmon/Beelzemon (followed closely my Juri, Ruki, Renamon, Takato, and Calumon)

Impmon/Beelzemon got zero percent of the vote which is how I know @veradune isn't on here 😂

Only one vote on this poll as well.

Kabru is a good guess, but my favorite character is actually the freak man himself Laios!

Only one vote on this one, but it's correct!

Richeh is my favorite character! (tied with Coco)

Results are in and surprisingly out of 8 votes Teru got the highest percentage.

Now, I do like Teru, but he's not my favorite.

My favs are actually Mob and Tome!

Tumblr is known and also spoken of by its user base for its high proportion of lgbt+ users, but I'm curious as to if the lgbt+ user base is actually as large as though or if its just confirmation bias, so...

For fun if you want put how you identify in the tags and the part of tumblr you'd say you're here for

In the future, children will think our ways are strange. "Why do old people always grow so much milkweed in their gardens?" they'll say. "Why do old people always write down when the first bees and butterflies show up? Why do old people hate lawn grass so much? Why do old people like to sit outside and watch bees?"

We will try to explain to them that when we were young, most people's yards were almost entirely short grass with barely any flowers at all, and it was so commonplace to spray poisons to kill insects and weeds that it was feared monarch butterflies and American bumblebees would soon go extinct. We will show them pictures of sidewalks, shops, and houses surrounded by empty grass without any flowers or vegetables and they will stare at them like we stared at pictures of grimy children working in coal mines

We will be feeding our grandchildren strawberries and raspberries we grew in our gardens, dragging them along to the farmers' markets for tomatoes and eggs and goats milk and pickles and pecans and salsa and sunflower seed butter and jars of honey, as they complain and drag their feet because Gramma always stands around talking to people for like an HOUR

and we will say "When I was YOUR age, fruits and vegetables came from a supermarket and they were bred to get shipped 1000 miles in a truck and sit on shelves for weeks, and they tasted so sour and watery it was like eating paper compared to these ones. It wasn't even legal in some places to grow your own food"

and they will roll their eyes like yeah yeah just because everything was miserable in the 20s doesn't mean I have to have a smile on my face standing in the hot sun while you listen to that one guy talk about his bees FOREVER

But they will go, because there might be baby goats.

The Gollum game is such an incredible throwback. Back in the PS2 era that type of buggy movie tie-in game was a dime a dozen & no one would've even noticed but by virtue of coming out in 2023, the last of its breed, it's a king, beheld with quiet horror by all. It crashes every five minutes even on the best hardware and when apologizing for its instability the devs misspelled their own game's name

"It looks like a PS2 game" is usually an inane insult and I guess it is if used for graphics here but in every other way? Yes, it's exactly like something that went right into the budget racks in 2004. It captures the weird frenzy of LotR releases during the trilogy so perfectly, it's like those ones that had the book license but not the movie one or one of the weirder spin-offs EA jammed out to exploit the license

every so often, social media and video hosting websites discover that videos get more views when you set them to loop by default, and to begin playing automatically as you’re scrolling past them. and every time they’re like wow this implies something at all

that one post with all the edgy anime boys in a therapy waiting room but it's lain, rei, madoka, anthy, etc.

I put more effort into this than I'd like to admit lol

Congrats to shinji for transitioning

I’m curious about all my gaming followers: first Pokémon game, first Zelda game, and first Mario game in the tags?
