hell and trou macauq sound so similar like its wild they straight up have the same melody at some points “teeth are extruded and bones are ground” and “charming enchantress and bones can run”, and even the solos kinda sound the dame

Dear Hollywood excecs (who obviously scour tumblr for new ideas)

In addition to

Can we please have a movie with Brandan Fraser and Cary Elwes called Swashbuckling Adventure Time and be them just reacting off each other with physical comedy?

Thanks for listening, ok bye

A bad FE game that has:

an actual terrible story

completely balls to the walls crazy, constant plot contrivances

inconsistent characters

disorganized lore

terribly excecated foreshadowing

stupid dialogue

all wrapped up with a neat little bow alongside Hot characters and amazing SRPG gameplay.

Anon, you want RWBY with Fire Emblem gameplay.

Some more thoughts on Pony Express. There's a gun for the captain to use in case of mutiny. The dialogue made me think that the addition of the code scanner is a recent-ish addition to the freighters, and the crew has to constantly ask the captain for codes like a manager at a supermarket, which likely causes malcontent fast given that their deliveries take months to complete. A mutiny is very likely to happen on any of these ships. It made me think of how some excecs and investors will intentionally push a company into a death spiral once they can't milk ever rising profits, and Pony Express is mentioned to be one of the last manned couriers. It was likely intentionally made to fail to be replaced with AI and automation. The Tulpar crew was failed even before Jimmy joined them.

Another thought. In some other post someone said a solution to Jimmy was to put in in a cryo-pod for the remainder of the journey but how feasable is that plan? It requires Anya and Curly getting Swansea and Daisuke alone to explain how Jimmy assaulted Anya (and having the victim explain herself to others is already a big ask), have them believe Anya, and the necessity of pulling out the gun to drag Jimmy into the cryo-pod. And then live the next several months with one essential worker less.

I was posting about my OC’s on bluesky but like I kinda feel more comfortable to do it here. Do you guys wanna read oc bs? I hope so!

I have a main 40k cast, some I’ve had as long an Venria, others I’ve just made, and others have no art but they live rent free in my head in stories. In a rough order:

Venria - Tech Priest, main oc.

Konrad Tiberius - Valhalla Commissar, secondary oc.

Zalika - Lord Commissar General Staff, secondary oc

Wulfrick - Terminator Space Wolf, tertiary oc.

Remedy - Apothecary Emperor’s Children, tertiary oc.

Ferris - Dreadnaught Storm Wardens, tertiary oc.

Sedric Bayard - Emperors Champion Black Templar, minor oc.

Kuthleho - Prideleader Celestial Lions, currently minor, but I have big feelings for this man.

Markus & Hector - Steel Legion Storm Troopers, minor currently but I have big plans for these men.

Unnamed/nameless - Tech Priest Dominisu, minor oc. (But he’s ever present with his engineer lackies) I have some bonus characters like Warthog and Rhino, two Black Legion Terminators, who are inseparable brothers. I've written some fun Thunderbult and Lightning pilots as well but most everyone else is fanfic fodder or just a cool idea I never excecated on.

Seeing Anakin guide Ahsoka through a podrace is basically their relationship in a nutshell. You have to love these two. Anakin couldn't even pretend that he wouldn't have done the same thing. Especially since "reckless and irresponsible ..but well excecated" is basically how Anakin lives his entire life as a Jedi.

The comic is Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Crash Course

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics

Writer: Henry Gilroy

Artist: Fillbach Brothers

Did you guys know about this person publishing Harry Potter fanfiction? It’s called manacled. They didn’t change the names or anything. My coworker was telling me about it. It’s all over tiktok but I’m not on there so I’m late to the game. She’s loving it but I guess it got pulled from ao3 today so I’m too late to the gravy train (I’m sure I’ll find it somewhere)

I mean there’s a whole lot of warnings in it so I’m not recommending it but like, does this mean we can publish our marvel smut? I would love for Disney excecs to read some darkficsyouneveraskedfor or biteofcherry 😂

Edit: I’ve done some digging. So apparently they are changing the names so more twilight and the such. You know what I want: someone to publish my immortal. No name changes. No nothing. Just exactly how it is with all the author notes and everything

i only kept up at a causal level with gaming news as a kid whenever i got a hold of a magazine or online news sites but looking at it now is just so sad and stressful because of how its literally just constant layoffs, greed, players being seen as pure cash cows publicly and unshamefully for games that look like copies of eachother back to back almost daily like what is the breaking point for the excecs? do ALL the employees need to leave on strike atp?

The one major flaw in the last of us show I cant ignore is the zombie virus being spread by bites and originating in flour based products. But once the world has fallen to shit we don't see high level celebs anywhere bc you know damn well that no member of the backstreet Boys leaves home without a bodyguard and Beyonce hasn't touched a carb since 1999

This goes for any zombie media really. No body guard worth their salt is gonna let Snoop dog get bit by a zombie. The only reason we don't see celebs play themselves in zombie shows is be excecs are cowards and Miley Cyrus is too expensive.

Are video games art? Heck yes! And here's practically a TED talk-length YouTube comment I ended up making regarding two games (unintended) influence on my views regarding irl events at the time. (Reformatted, hopefully, for better readability here.)

Why not both? (Being both fun AND a powerful work of art) I'd say video games could similarly allow you to experience perspectives outside your own like books or movies...but, even more interactive!

To the point that it'd be relatively easy to associate those simulated experiences with those of your own (outside the game).

Weirdly enough, in retrospect, I can name two games in which my experiences with them could be considered factors in my current stance regarding what's going on in Gaza (That the Right-Wing Government of Israel is carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people, and that's a bad thing.)

More specifically, that keeping the Palestinian people in an open-air prison is also bad.

And that targeting civilians to try to get them to "turn on Hamas" is stupid and highly likely to backfire. (Not that Hamas is in any way good, both them and the Right-Wing Government of Israel are the bad guys in that conflict.)

In (what's known in the US) as "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor", you and your friends have to do all you can to survive...even though the Japanese SDF (with the assistance of Angels) are using military force to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the area "Quarantining" the area so aggressively that anyone who gets "too close" to the blockade is shot to death. And emergency supplies are only rarely air dropped in. So people absolutely swarm the containers (like a particular something else that's happening irl). There's also how fast polite society and it's rules and customs get thrown away in the face of...dealing with literal demons. Oh, look. The military's basically treating everyone within the quarantine zone as though they *are* demons themselves. (Like the IDF behaving as though all Palestinian civilians are part of Hama). Not to mention cutting the electrical power to the entire area (The Right-Wing Israeli Government also did this...but, with the water as well). Basically...forcing people to "live" in an open-air prison's cruel and inhumane.

As for that second game... Well, that's the opening of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I'm sure most reading this already know. You get captured by Imperial soldiers (for whatever reason) and are about to be excecated alongside Stormcloak soldiers when...a mother[fudge]ing dragon interrupts it and you have a choice on who to follow to escape. Do you follow the Imperial Soldier? Or the Stormcloak one? I'm not sure about you, but, I'm sure as heck NOT going to join the same side as the people who LITERALLY tried to KILL ME! (Except...that's the rather weak tissue-paper like excuse The Right-Wing government of Israel's going with for their current actions of carpet bombing everything in Gaza... What!?) I wouldn't be surprise if this's the sort of "logic" The Empire's going with. But... That ended up with me joining the Stormcloaks! (Oh look, like how more Palestinians are joining Hamas in reaction. *facepalm*)

ok this post is very real and all that but im a nerd and also very obsessed w the pepsi vs. coke marketing techniques and research studies.

from what i remember from all the books and study papers ive read abt the blind taste test, there was an advertising ploy pepsi made to show ppl that pepsi was objectively better than coke and that was the one sip blind taste test. where ppl took one sip of both drinks from identical cups blindfolded and chose one and that one almost always turned out to be pepsi. and atp coke was Bigger than pepsi as a brand but they were losing sales to pepsi and wanted to know why so they also did this. but! the point of the matter was that ppl Hated the new coke. well. most ppl. coke sales had famously declined in the 80s w new coke.

this was bc of a fundamental problem w the ad technique that pepsi used that made pepsi sales shoot up and coke lose market share. in the business of tastebud+nerve psychology there were many speculations and studies abt this amongst the ppl coke HIRED even. the trained ppl who created the formula for new coke to make it like pepsi failed to understand the fundamental problem w the one sip test. which is that when ppl buy pepsi/coke/any brown soda they DONT JUST TAKE ONE SIP. they buy a whole bottle usually. and drink that. or a Can. point being; the slightly sweeter taste of pepsi compared to the more acidic tang of coke will Always be better in one sip methods. even to ppl who are avid coke fanatics; the first sip of coke is Never pleasant and pepsi IS. the reason pepsi always 'won' was this.

the main reason that new coke failed was that the already present consumers for coke drank coke BECAUSE it wasn't like pepsi, thats true. and by making new coke more like pepsi they failed to take into account coke's already Massive market share. which they lost some of. so the moral of the story was basically that one sip taste test methods are almost Always innacurate according to professionals. and also coke maybe has some drawbacks (the not pleasant first sip and the generally more tangy acidic taste) that pepsi remedies. but ULTIMATELY! in the LONG RUN! those qualities is what gives coke that Edge. those are the reason coke had such a big consumer base. and while pepsi was sweet and good at the first sip it slowly got Annoying if u finished a can bc the repeated sweetness becomes weird.

but the excecs at coke had no faith in their product and placed so much trust in the one sip taste test method that they forgot their USP. so while this post isn't completely accurate to the actual situation. the analogy still stands! even better after this clarification imho. coke being tumblr's configuration that has drawbacks but ultimately IS THE REASON coke had a large consumer base (tumblrinas). pepsi being new algorithmic social media sites that captured attention bc they complemented the drawbacks coke had. coke changing their formula to be more like pepsi (tumblr implementing more and more algorithms) and ultimately falling into decline.

we have LIVED thru it before PEOPLE. u guys know how this ends. the analogy is actually stronger than ever w the added info. the point is; TELL COKE HOW MUCH U LIKE COKE AS IT IS. NO MATTER HOW NEW AND SHINY AND AMAZING PEPSI SEEMS. COKE IS LIKED FOR BEING COKE. NOT for succumbing to the pressure of pepsi's steady rise in popularity.

that is All thanks for coming to a business and psychology double minor nerd's TED Talk.

You know that study that found when doing a blind taste test the majority of people prefer pepsi over coca cola so coke changed their recipe to taste more like pepsi, and people actually liked the new coke a lot less because the people who were buying coke didn't want it to taste like pepsi they wanted their coke to taste like coke. That's what a lot of the new changes tumblr is working on feel like.

“How come I always end up calling you when I can’t fall asleep?”

“ well - i hear from time to time that i can give some pretty okay advice.” she hums out in response, ear pressed to her shoulder to hold her phone in place as she moved around in her bed - pulling the blanket up over her knees as she curled up against the head board. 

there was still sleep in her eyes - and she was only somewhat awake - but she wasn’t going to let that get in the way if someone had needed some assistance. “what did you need, exactly ?”

“Hi Mark, Max was kinda hyping you up a bit there, so I’ll let you hype him up a little bit. He had his 300th career goal tonight, what’s it been like for you especially playing with him on a line for about two and half years now, and seeing his wrist shot in action that time?”

“Um, yeah. I mean, I’ve said this numerous times, he’s the best shot I’ve ever played with... probably the best goal scorer I'm ever gonna play with...” (12.04.2021)
