Thinking about the fact that in the Stuart Little book he's not adopted

Not only does the mother of the Little family actually give birth to him, he's not even a mouse, he's a human with a combination of genetic disorders that makes him exactly resemble a mouse. I am not making this up. This is real.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

Why do the formal definitions for math concepts that are simple enough to explain to a kindergartener look like this

this is the "formal definition" for "add up all the digits in a number, then add up all the digits in that number, until you have a one digit number" as seen in the video game 999

can wikipedia please move these to the bottoms of articles instead of the tops because this is basically a math jumpscare

do you think roombas were named after goombas since they have the same movement logic

[helixsnake]

Literally the same character how did they get away with this

I actually don't believe how the people who own tumblr don't realize the golden goose they have

Tumblr is already clearly trying to be the ship people jump to with twitter sinking and literally the only thing they have to do to unambiguously be the unanimous choice, is to unban NSFW content. Twitter had no problems getting advertisers before Elon even with NSFW allowed, and the only reason other candidates even stand a CHANCE against Tumblr, which has so many other advantages like having no actual algorithm, is because of the NSFW ban. Tumblr has a time tested functional website, lots of already existing similarities to Twitter, and a huge existing userbase. It's such a no brainer and I don't understand how the leadership of Tumblr doesn't realize this.

Thinking about an Oblivion bug that is the perfect demonstration of how that game was a disaster

There is a quest where an evil person in the mages guild instructs you to go into a well to retrieve a ring. When you go there the ring is on a corpse (the previous receiver of this quest) and it is a ring of encumberment, which leaves you unable to move and makes you drown if you pick it up without the inventory space for it. Upon most people getting the ring they will be encumbered and forced to drop it. One of the two obvious things to do here is put the ring back on the corpse and go do something else until you have enough inventory space to try the quest again. You can not complete the quest by knowing what is going on, you have to actually have the ring.

In a few days the corpse will disappear with the ring and the quest will be uncompletable, softlocking the entire mages guild progression (one of the game's bigger sidequests).

Here is a list of things that had to go wrong for this bug to occur.

The quest programmer had to not think of this happening and program in an exception for this corpse.

The QA had to not test one of the most obvious things a player would do in that situation and would be obvious may occur knowing how corpses work.

The programming design team had to not have created a system in which important quest items would stop corpses from disappearing if they're carrying them.

The programming design team had to not have created a system where manually placed corpses, as opposed to those of NPCs you've killed, do not despawn.

The programming design team had to have not created some other system for acquiring important quest items that the player has, by some unpredicted manner, fucked up and lost permanently.

I can only say this about Bethesda games I played (I stopped at Fallout 3) but these games have a special level of fucked in their development in order for bugs like this to happen, in my opinion.
