a japanese guy who made a bunch of creepy pasta videos a long time ago (you’ve probably seen Youtube666, he made that) is playing through minecraft for the first time and he’s not using any guides or anything other than the in-game guidebook and he’s fucking. doing it in such a buddhist way.

like, he’s so patient and detached from all of the stuff he’s gotten.

in the newest episode he destroyed 14566 blocks of bridge and blew up his original house just because he learned about xyz coordinates by accidentally pressing F5 and he wanted his house to be at the X:0 coordinate.

also look at this quarry. it’s his 5th quarry.

look at this absolute fucking massive hole.

and it’s not like “HELLOOOOO EVERYBODY WHAT IS UP, TODAY WE’RE GONNA BE PLAYING MIIIIIINECRAAAAFT” he’s just like. a quiet 30 year old japanese man who speaks very precisely and politely. and he even does his own english captions which are overlayed on the video and he uses emoticons like (0u0)/

he’s so wonderful and cute.

People talking about how innie!Mark leaving Gemma is fine because he's "exercising his autonomy" and that everyone who's upset at him for it "doesn't see the innies as people" is kind of missing the point. The point being that innie!mark's autonomy is being defined/symbolized by markhelly, which is a deeply uninteresting relationship.

They had zero romantic tension before they kissed and if I hadn't known before watching the show that they were going to be a pairing I would not have seen it coming. They were literally just a man and a woman who were main characters. Then they kissed.

Nobody is gonna give more of a shit about that then Gemma, a woman who has been tortured but kept holding onto the hope of seeing her husband.

Markhelly and Gemma's general existence do NOT hold equal emotional weight. innie!Mark's autonomy is tied to something uninteresting that I can't even summon any emotion for other than "eh okay" and "this could've been better", the only interesting thing about it is that it represents their autonomy. Can you think of a single strong emotion that it brings out in you? Is that emotion stronger than how you feel about Gemma's whole situation?

TL;DR: "you're just like the outies and don't think the innies have autonomy" innie!Mark's autonomy is tied to a generic boy-girl protagonist romantic pairing and Gemma is a woman who has been tortured and wants to see her husband. It's obvious what people are gonna care about more.

Bro, we are cooked. The knight that dogs the prince's shadow like a dark and silent wraith just knelt to press his forehead to the prince's hand. Yeah, now he's uttering a prayer whose recipient is ostensibly God but in reality is the deified version of the prince that exists only in his mind. Aaand the prince just caressed his cheek to preemptively grant him absolution. I gotta... I gotta get out of here.

rassicas, you have to help me. what is Octavio's dialogue in the JP version of Splat2's final boss fight, at least at the start of it?

this has been driving me up the WALL because, specifically, of the "Gwa ha ha! I remixed Callie's brain!" line in English.

this line. is the one thing. that localization wants to haunt and beguile me with. i can reasonably doubt other weird additions and choices in splat2 for other reasons, but this WILL not leave me alone.

it implies /very/ specific things about Splat2 hero mode that conflict with other things about Callie and her behavior and the whole narrative. did localization just add this because funny music pun? are the same implications of brainwashing there in JP? there's lore and characterization implications at stake here and they won't let me rest

i remember there being a convo in the inkipedia discord about this exact line of dialogue

i havent compared the localization of the s2 base story mode to the JP as much as ive researched say, octo expansion. it looks like its worth comparing, considering the conflicting information about callie agreeing to go and her kidnapping and all that? but tbh i am not invested in the idols like other people are otherwise i wouldve done that sooner LOL the way i understand it is that callie was willing to work with the octarians, but had to be hypnotized/brainwashed when it came down to actively fighting against the new squidbeak splatoon. i know hypnosis and brainwashing are Not the same thing but we're working with cartoon tropes i guess. i can say "brainwash" is not exclusive to english localization. here's that "Gwa ha ha! I remixed Callie's brain!" line in JP:

ギギ… アオリチャン チョロイ！ カンタンニ センノウ デキタ！ Gwa ha ha...Aori-chan [Callie] is so simple-minded! I was able to brainwash her with ease!

センノウ=洗脳=literally "washing brain"

if it means anything, the hypnoshades are called サイミンサングラス saimin sangurasu, which seems to be a double play on 催眠 saimin, hypnosis, and saimin, the hawaiian ramen-like noodle dish

WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL ME THERES A NEW STURGEON GENUS ?????

I’m like. Losing my shit

Sometime this year (2025) a scientific consensus seems to have been reached that the previously-obsolete genus of Sinosturio be used as legitimate classification once again. 

Reclassifications from Wikipedia:

The reclassification of kaluga (previously Huso dauricus) surprised me most of all as it leaves beluga (Huso huso) as the only member of genus Huso. I wonder if beluga will eventually be reclassed with Acipenser and genus Huso will become obsolete.

This must be what it feels like for gamers when a new dlc drops
