There are three kinds of creatives in any sandbox games:
-person breaking the Geneva Conventions,
-person meticulously recreating the most advanced engineering feat of humanity on a 1:1 scale
-the Garry's Mod player who does both as a side effect of using a rocket propelled bathtub.
- the computer scientists who prove you can make logic gates with it
- the hackers who then make the game run doom
actually the computer scientists were forced to admit that totk is not turring complete and cannot have logic gates in it
YES GOOD :D
FUCK YES!!!
if you didnt make it. you dont own it. simple as that
Context: This grown ass police inspector is asking a teenager to resolve a hostage situation for him
I love lying to kids. It's so fun. My coworker's daughter said she speaks 2 languages and I said I spoke 17,000 and she narrowed her eyes at me and was like "... no you don't" and it was the cutest thing.
The last time I saw her I told her I was a "half-magician" that can only do 50% of a trick, and I showed her how I can tear a piece of paper in two but can't make it come back together, and she got soooo annoyed with me. Absolutely adorable. Lying to children is the best
Oh Jeffrey? Jeff the killer? Oh yeah he's not a teenager anymore. He's 28. Yeah he's still into the killing part just not as much. He says it lost its spark. Yeah he still says go to sleep but he'd honestly rather go sleep himself. He's pretty chill. Past the killings. He's a beloved member of the community. Yeah he's on estrogen
the kicker is he was being asked if his work was coming from the approach of man vs. nature aka “THE ENVIRONMENT STRIKES BACK” but no. his literal words were along the lines of “sharks are not very scary if you are never in the water so i had to make them scarier, and now they have legs.”
Junji Ito has the best fucking take on horror, which is ‘wouldn’t that be weird’ and then he draws it into the most terrifying thing possible.
One of his strangest stories is about a cursed type of honey that, when ingested, is guaranteed to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. But, if you consume it, you have a 25% of being flattened like a pancake by a giant tree demon. Characters eat it, get addicted, and that addiction forces them to risk it over and over again until they eventually get turned into a gory puddle by this ghost tree thing.
It’s a weird story, but the funny part is that Ito wrote it because he thought it would suck to be a mosquito.
INTERFACING - You fuck it up. Your juvenile glee at finding a slide leads you to swing down into the pipe far too fast. INLAND EMPIRE - Like the child you used to be. AUTHORITY - But you are not a child any more. ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY - Fuck that shit, bomb it down there and scream the whole time! PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - We can take it. We can always take it. PAIN THRESHOLD - Pain, radiant and sharp, jolts through you. You can not, in fact, take it. [Health -1] REACTION SPEED - You fly out of the slide, propelled by your weight and your enthusiasm. ENDURANCE - The metal jars against you, then you're sliding over the harsh ground instead. COMPOSURE - You land heavily at Kim's feet, and begin to whine like a child with a scraped knee. ESPRIT DE CORPS - His infinitesimal regard for you as a normal human being is so dead at this point he's not even surprised. KIM KITSURAGI - "Normal people, when they go down a slide, they're fine." AUTHORITY - He's questioning your authority! VOLITION - Sitting on the floor and crying after being beaten up by a slide, you have precious little authority to question. [Morale -1]
mythbusters was so good because it wasn’t a killjoy show. they didn’t just say “see, it doesn’t work” and leave it there
whenever they find that the stunt doesn’t work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask “what would it take to make this happen?”
“we know it takes this amount of explosives to work, but what if we doubled it anyway?”
Some myths I’ll always remember:
* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)
* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?
* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?
I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they “failed.” Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn’t matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON’T CHASE YOU.
And each time, they reacted with just… pure glee. “Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!”
And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it’s information.
my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him
normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me
me: either you are wrong about god or god is wrong and i will fight him and i will be the one to find out
me at 7: he would not fucking say that
This felt like a punch to the throat
On one hand, this would exasperate any Frenchmen within earshot, so good for her.
let them be comfy
why are the killbots femme coded?
