Gen Z Meets Gen X: A Love Story with Rotary Phones
Ever feel like your generational label doesn’t fit? I’m 26, but I feel more Gen X than Gen Z. I don’t mind avocado toast or TikTok dances. But, I don’t want to be known for chaotic memes or short attention spans. Instead, I love cozy nights with ‘The Golden Girls’ and the click of a rotary phone. My love for rotary phones is more than a hobby. It connects us to a past that still speaks to us…

for some reason I can never take those heartwarming diaspora industry speeches seriously. Like that star navigation metaphor was cool and all but I'm not getting how your mother escaping being killed by US bombs in vietnam and you working for nasa uh. reconcile with eachother.
#like yeah whatever choose your career based on what you want but it#crosses into the realm of disrespectful when they try to paint it as a Good Deed Of Generational Connection#because thats just simply not true#maybe this is a really distanced and cynical opinion I'm sure it makes more sense to lie to yourself when said family is supporting you and#you have limited career choices#still lying though. hence why I dont like the syrupy thinkpiece making thats worse because they actually believe what theyre saying#txt

why is he posed like a dead oblivion npc

#stranger things#martin brenner#oblivion#not going to think about the martin brenner martin septim parallels for too long#esp with the duffers’ lotr autism vs martin septim being played by sean bean#and esp with the fallout references in st vs oblivion/elder scrolls and fallout being both bethesda etc etc#staring at martin septim’s whole weird time thing & him starting as a priest vs brenner priest stuff#and all the weird brenner-one stuff vs martin being ‘The One’ & the remple of the One#(and ‘the one’ is its own specific thing/its not the dame as just casually saying ‘the chosen one’)#and martin’s weird blood/the septim blood vs brenner sr’s weird blood#and how martin’s blood is what connects him to the time weirdness/akatosh & allowed all the shit to happen in the temple of the one#and martin being Dragonborn vs the whole ‘dragon inside rhe body of a man/creature inside a human body’ thing irr to dragonborn#vs brenner’s weird creature stuff#anyway not saying its anything firm i just think its interesting#especially re: oblivion & adam adamowicz’ hefty influence/work on it#vs him also being the sole concept artist/The Guy TM for fallout 3 & st having a ton of specific song dialogue etc references to fallout 3#and like re: elder scrolls vs st in general#its also like. elder scrolls is unique compared to other typical fantasy stuff in the sense of how often it crosses into sci fi and horror#ESPECIALLY oblivion#and esp with elder scrolls’ ties to dnd which is a whole other can of worms#and uriel septim getting trapped in the void & then returning changed like brenner sr in dimension x and both#having military backgrounds#and having fruity little sons named martin HGWDBDB#also 4ever thinking about baurus describing the septims/uriel and martin as#‘they see more than lesser men’ and uriel’s fucked up visions and him ranting about the *gates* opening#anyway it is just funny to me like#if i had a nickel for every old military man with weird blood and a weird little son named martin who got trapped in another dimension and#then was the sole person to return in a piece of media that talks about ‘gates’ constantly#i would have two nickels which isnt a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice#oh and dont think 2 hard about the creel rose stuff vs martin septim’s rose stuff re: the sanguine rose

i have an idea for a character design but what animals are usually associated with medicine??? the most common answer i got was snake, but i also thought of lab rats/mice, rabbits etc
#snake has the longest history with medicine especially since its shown on the rod of asclepius and the myths around venom#i also didnt know this but their shedding skin is referenced as symbols of rebirth and growth while their appearance resembles an#umbilical cord which gives it a really strong connection to health in some cultures.. although if i had to think abt modern medicine and#pharmacies the first thing i think of is white lab mice like pinky and the brain. for some reason i also thought of rabbits#bc of how its used for anti animal testing logos but thats more loose. however i did learn that the jade rabbit is shown to#use a pestle and mortar to create medicine in some stories so that could work...???? but its not as well known i think#i also thought of possums but that was more of an irony thing. same for bats but both are ironically really resistant to disease and act#as carriers. a death symbol like vultures or ravens/crows might work with a plague doctors mask but i feel#like that isnt the vibe im going for. black cat would be interesting considering superstition but im also on the fence abt that#actually what else is associated with medicine?? normally its stuff like pills crosses bandaids syringes etc#doctors coats and gloves.. especially plague doctor masks or medical masks in general but not much else huh#hand sanitizer and tissues.. pill bottles... blue nurse uniforms.. gauze and casts with signed names... hmmmm/.........#nurse dresses..??? sure?? i also see scalpels and knives but thats more for like. horror doctors for scary stories#im going for cute maybe even regular ass doctor vibe. like harvey sdv. or tony tony chopper#yapping

We made a small game project!! It's a program designed to learn how to play Connect 4, based on the MENACE model. Its algorithm needs some work, so it's a very slow learner, but we're pretty proud of it so far! ^^

Kinda starting to wonder if all of the references to Arthurian legend on the Xianzhou is supposed to be foreshadowing Su or a Su expy showing up soon
#honkai impact#hi3#honkai star rail#sorry hi3 fans i know y'all dont like cross tagging but I'm talking about both games so i think its relevant#for those who don't know: Su trained king Arthor in hi3 and was referred to as the lady of the lake (shown in 2nd key manga)#and theres been a strange amount of arthurian legend connected to the Xianzhou#ex: “Guinaifen's” real name being Guinevere#miekka kivessä meaning the sword in the stone#plus we've definitely gotten Fu Hua forshadowing with “general Hua” Yunli and Lingsha#and Kevin got referenced back in Penacony#those 3 tend to go together#I'd cry (affectionate) if hi3 Su showed up in star rail but I'd also be happy with an expy

You guys have no fucking clue how much we have to correct our character names here, btw. We'll be writing something and we'll think to ourself "oh yeah, the time loop guy, the guy who's in the time loop, we have a whole ass character named loop right" and then The Time Loop Guy's name is Siffrin and Loop is an entire different character that we're not even entirely sure is in the time loop, per se, as much as they're meta-aware and existing on a slightly different angle of reality to most of the people here. Their name's, like, been at least halfway reassigned to Dandelion in our brain. We swear we're gonna, like, call them Bonnie or Isabeau or some shit some loop and then not catch it in time. We've got Character Roulette Syndrome.
#we speak#not liveblog#we're like half sure that if we descaled loop in one time loop and then came back the next they'd still be descaled#we're like half certain that they're the particular flavor of meta character where they're partially immune to the narrative#due to existing closer to the player's UI and such and thus more detached from the general game events#they aren't affected by the loops because they're not a part of the pieces of the world that's looping in the first place#they're a layer up woven around the very interface that the player uses to connect to the game#they feel like physical consequences would persist cross-loop even when they really debatably Shouldn't#still don't know what precisely they represent though

Btw all the protests and this whole situation felt extra poignant because December 12 was the anniversary of the 1979 military coup that led to the brutal military dictatorship that lasted until 1987, under which thousands and thousands of people were horrifically injured, tortured, and killed. Korea's in a different place now, all because of the sacrifices the Korean people made to usher in and maintain democracy.
#that reminds me...i keep forgetting to watch 12.12: the day#if you haven't watched it everyone highly recommends it to get an understanding of what the coup was like#it's available on a bunch of streaming services#this didn't happen long ago and as several people expressed through the past week and a half#there's now a deeper connection between the older and younger generations#the latter who got a direct education in what the older generations fought for#and how fragile it is if you don't protect it and fight for it#it's been beautiful to see that cross-generation support and appreciation

Spinel's kind of fascination with Friede..
I wonder if he is done playing with him for now (he said Friede was still worth playing with, which sure was a line of dialogue to have him say), or if he was "happy" when Friede got out of his trap in HZ044 and surpassed him in that one moment because it meant they were equals.
#in general i like thinking about the two of them because they are similar in some ways and act as foils#both fascinated by mysteries and curious/researchers.. both having a cunning side to them which shows through in different ways..#it's just that friede is a good person so there are lines he won't cross but spinel will cross those lines#i love spinel's fascination with friede because while he has some personal ties to other characters it goes back to the mysteries/plot etc.#(like his beef with amethio possibly stemming from gibeon's connection to him. though we still don't have the specifics etc)#so his thing with friede stands out a bit in comparison. friede is the leader of the rvt sure#but messing with him doesn't bring him specific answers related to rakurium/etc?#so it almost comes off as cute that he went out of his way to mess with friede in ep 54 <3 getting some kind of personal satisfaction?#on top of personally getting the eternal blessing from it.#like aww. he just wanted to play with friede. do you still wish to play with him? do you have plans regarding that?#i think maybe spinel got something out of friede escaping his trap.. friede showing he could challenge him/be his equal#which is amusing to me. because i think that friede specifically enjoys his rivalry with amethio#because amethio can challenge him/be his equal in battle#so my interpretation is that friede and spinel both potentially take out the same thing out of these dynamics#like idk. i'm thinking about it and spinel didn't have to keep playing with friede in such an elaborate way#i do wonder if he'll still seek him out.. it felt like he had his fun and now is going back to his plans with agate#but maybe they'll cross paths again. who knows#hz044#friede#spinel#character notes#episode notes

Happy 10 Year Doctor Who Anniversary to me!! 🎉Genuinely crazy that I’ve loved this silly little space show for a whole decade 💙
#the impact this show has had on my life over the past 10 years is immense#realising I’m gay choosing to do a teaching degree helping me to understand my autism helping me heal trauma making me cry and laugh and#act generally crazy#and not to mention the people it has brought into my life friendships irl and online (some crossing over both) the creators writers and#actors of the show and expanded universe I have had chance to meet and connect with I just would be a completely different person without it#also all the media it has led me too which have all brought me even more fun and joy#the feelings have been great today but also the events now that I think about it#a girl in my lecture was wearing 4’s scarf so I talked to her for the first time and my cy crush said she’d love to watch it with me it’s#been a fun one!#here’s to the next decade (and let’s be honest the many after that)#doctor who#classic who

I think (after a lot of thinking) that my main issue with Marcella in Vengeful is the fact we don't really get to watch her struggle?
Marcella is on a rampage the entire time. Her plot for revenge against Marcus wraps up very quickly despite it being a perfectly compelling story on its own.
Partially because of her lack of compassion, we don't see her struggle with her EO power, seeming to come into it and accept it very naturally.
June and Jonathan don't have any conflicts with her. She's very intelligent so all her plans work without a hitch.
This isn't necessarily bad. The issue comes from the fact that she is a main character of Vengeful yet there is nothing besides rage (which after the quickly wrapped up revenge plot against Marcus is unfocused) to make you feel for her.
The issue isn't really having a larger cast or a prominent role but that nearly all her scenes are ultimately forgettable. Other characters who have less time dedicated to them/no POV (June, Rios, Dominic and Stell) manage to be more memorable.
#Marcella is one of the characters where both less time focused on her or more time focused on her would have been better.#Realistically. the time we spend with her needs to be redirected.#Especially with her involvement with EON and trying to take over Merit.#because a) Eli's work with EON already shows their hypocrisy and b) it takes away time from her revenge story.#anyways. If i was in charge Id have Marcella's take down of the Mafia cross with Victors mass murder in hunt for a cure.#(the shared intrest but refusal to work together due to a simultaneous conflict of interest.)#(This would also make Marcella look less powerful. theres someone she cant immediately kill or convince to join her)#while the EON hunts Marcella down and eventually setting Eli loose on her. having blamed Marcella for all/most of Victors murders.#Giving a reason for the three to all meet in the same final conflict and for Victor and Eli to team up#I generally don't remember why Victor was at that final showdown.#Marcella has no emotional connection to Victor and Eli.#thats teh other big problem i have with her

I managed to take a few sets off of one of the people who beat me in bracket next time and I definitely have a lot of notes on the counter-adaptation for next time, so I thiiiink I might have a shot this month if she's there again
#the connection is still really difficult#part of me wants to figure out how to make myself teleport around the screen that much but I think somehow it's one sided#feinting more in neutral and generally playing lame seems to be the play but I can't tell if that's netcode abuse or a player thing#and I have to figure out a way to handle anti-airs when I really can't tell where they're moving once they leave the ground#it might just be to go for cross-unders and then punish landing lag#she likes backdashing instead of throw teching which requires some harder reads than I like going for#big arrow oki is also just nauseating against ky in general. that doesn't seem like a spot she likes reversaling though thank god#she also gold bursts a lot as like a counter-poke which is a tad threatening but if I'm already playing kind of lame it's a non-issue#and she burns a lot of meter on combos when she doesn't really have to#so there might be something in doing fewer rrcs and being ahead w/r/t tension pulse

Sonic x Shadow Generations
Why'd they have to call it that?
#Like okay the letter 'x' has been used to signify crossovers (with the x specifically being a cross) for years now.#But like... they could have just called it 'Sonic and Shadow Generations'. Or if they were funny 'Sonic Generations & Shadow'.#Everyone has already made the connection 'Sonadow Generations' but honestly... Sonic x Shadow Generations sounds like a sales pitch.#Like a working name that you refine later. Generations but also with Shadow. Sonic x Shadow Generations. Something to go with For Now.#But I mean hey if they think this will sell the most copies of a remaster of a game that's barely over a decade old then be my guest.#I could think of like 6 other Sonic games way more in need of / deserving of a remaster but whatever.#Sonic x Shadow Generations#StH#Jouska's Thoughts#Complaining#Negativity

ifeel like literally everything i am supposed to do to be a like. well adjusted human being is so so so exhausting? like i dont even mean a job or being "productive" or whatever.. socializing and hobbies often physically and mentally drain me so much and so fast and its really hard to keep up with things like that when having one (1) conversation or trying to do a cross stitch pattern for like half an hour makes me feel like i need at Least 2 weeks to rest and recover
#chatter#the socializing thing isnt as much of a problem if i know some1 Extremely well but currently that only applies to my immediate family .#and its really hard to form like. meaningful connections and get comfortable w ppl when im that inconsistent?#but its not that i dont want to its just that even when i manage to get my anxiety under control enough to try i still get So Tired#and idk how to like. work around that?#Also cross stitching was just an example . creative hobbies in general usually do this to me

...people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us.
The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes
#honestly this is something that i love about my work#every generation is well represented at my workplace and i can make meaningful connections across age differences#in both directions now that i'm not the youngest staff member haha#cross generational connections means a lot to me

i know it's not my birthday anymore but someone should buy me sonic x shadow generations. i deserve it.
#or i could get a job. ugh.#i have the og sonic generations (it's real cheap on steam) but it's maybe the worst pc port ever made#it only has xbox controls so i have to cross reference the controls with a diagram to figure out what button it is on my ps4 controller#and half the time it doesn't even connect to my controller#and also you can't alt-tab out of the window (it's onyl fullscreen no windowed mode) without it crashing and closing without saving#which is. so annoying.#however... from what i HAVE played of the game. banger.
