The Main Reason I Have A Tumblr Is Second-hand Joy From Other People's Fixations.

I love it when I see a nice art and it immediately dissolves into WTF-ery. Give me those man-made beauties beyond my comprehension.

Moooola!

wait

hold the fuck on

so ok, i was thinking about the "silica's equipment" situation again and realised something

^her own equipment

^the equipment kirito gave her; which to say *kiri just had that on her at the time*

and just... that design

?????! the similarities?! the collar!!! the shape!

and we know kiri explicitly chose the ggo outfit!

that's kirito's style!

oh

and also

while rereading the novel volume for this

???! wait why did the anti-harassment code not go off for this?!

so much going on here

reki what the fuck

explain yourself

The fort, it is Dorf

So, egged on by distant friends, I have picked up Dwarf Fortress again. I'd not played in a few months, EVE Online scratching the 'learn through disaster' and ' horribly documented' itches.

Right now, it looks like the save I loaded is doomed. I hadn't arranged for any food supplies first time out, so while I've managed to make a farm (irrigated entirely by dwarves carrying buckets of water from a well: my only water sources being 20 levels below ground). Obviously, that means no food until the end of the season, and already I have numerous dwarves hunting vermin for food, which is very bad.

I can't just quit, though, you never know what can be saved.

these are my thotz as someone who has been directly exposed to 2022 and 1966 batman within less than a month: there's a sweet spot between silly/gloomy ways to write bruce wayne, there's unpleasant extremes, and then there's the real extremes that are such weird little freaks that they make perfect sense

Black asexuals of tumblr (from the UK and Ireland), I need you...

to fill out a questionnaire about asexual tv/media representations, what you think about them, and what they could be doing better. Almost all questions are optional, so you can come and say as little or as much as you'd like!

Please help a fellow ace out, and help me make this research not be just another look at white asexuals...

Go to https://tinyurl.com/acetvquestions or the link in my bio

Please share, even if you don't wanna do the questionnaire, many thanks!

You should play Tactical Breach Wizards, the only game that feels the need to, in a dream sequence, reassure one of the characters that play testers like them as people, even after fixing the balance issues.

Look, Rion. The only way I know to knock Liv off this incredibly tall building is to chain-lightning through her and her intended swap target. I tried to arrange it so she was the only one to get knocked off, but that just wasn't an option. Yours was a necessary sacrifice, and it honestly wasn't even that sacrifice-ey. Banks shot you in the head and brought you back to life. She even undid all the damage your lungs took from brellium calcite, so honestly you're doing better than if I didn't knock you off the roof!

Huh? Why did I need to knock Liv off the roof? Don't ask stupid questions!

The whole Weakness Of The Flesh Immortality Of The Machine conversation is fun... I really appreciate the point that in the modern real world technology is controlled by an ever-rotating pile of tech companies whose business model is predicated on obsoleting everything older than like 4 years. If you, the person reading this, managed to upload your consciousness to a file, it would struggle to interact and be read in, like, 10 years max. And if you rely on medical aids that are connected to computers and the internet, you are already facing that problem.

All that said, I cannot stress enough that obsolescence is not an issue for the in-universe source of the whole "from the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh" quote

The Ferengi Commerce Authority is significantly funnier if you work in UK finance, as our regulator is also the FCA.
