do your best even if it doesn't last

Three years ago my friend and I were discussing why the whole “eldritch abominations all look at humans like humans look at insects cuz they’re so cruel and unrelenting nyeh” trope was really stupid and after it crossed my mind again I’ve somehow found even MORE reasons to find this trope too simplistic, considering:

People (like me) are irrationally terrified of cockroaches

A lot of designation/fear of certain insects as “pest creatures” (ants) is deliberately drummed up in advertising (so a lot of our aversion to ‘pests’ is as much a socially influenced sentiment as it is our own need to not be inconvenienced)

Beetles are beloved, especially by collectors

So are dragonflies, and other insects I’m probably missing

Bees, one of the most socially advanced insect species out there, are highly valued and protected for obvious reasons, and the bees themselves (farmed anyway) often work symbiotically with human intervention

That mantis sure can do kung fu

You have felt guilty about smashing an ant before. Don’t lie to me, you have at least once in your lifetime.

If we have such varied emotional reactions to insects, from terror to joy and admiration to guilt, I don’t see why a creature larger than the planet or universe should be different. Not everyone feels like stepping on an anthill, Jared.

hello yes i return with more thoughts on bloodborne and how the umbilicals resemble cochleae yet are called umbilicals because all of the infant great ones have some sort of connection to oedon or some other formless great one, which exist as disembodied sounds,

and how we literally see the formless umbilical connecting the wraith of kos' child, yet the orphan's physical body has an umbilical connected to a placenta-blade-thing that also happens to resemble

ear

and all this is to say the umbilicals were coveted for their connection to the formless great ones/oedon, and that paleblood IS the blood of the formless, as hinted by the blind patient who remarks "everything is pale now" and how adeline begins to see the voice of the celestial attendant....

Nexus Mods was acquired by Chosen, a company focused on growth and monetization of gaming startups.

Reddit thread

Dark0ne, creator and ex-owner of Nexus Mods, stepped down today in an update post:

NexusMods post

Users on Resetera were able to found out more about this sudden change of ownership:

Resetera thread

Victor Folmann, CEO of Chosen, published this "Gaming Startup Monetization Cheat Sheet" on his LinkedIn

Link to the post

Users are already sharing their fear of NexusMods allowing more bigoted mods in the future, and taking down inclusive ones to follow the current "anti-woke" trend in the gaming industry

Reseta threada bout their change in moderation concerning bigoted mods following Oblivion Remastered launch

Another User, this time on NexusMods forum, noticed queer and inclusive mods being removed following Dark0ne's post

Link to the forum post

It is also worth mentioning that Chosen and its CEO are seen using AI generated images on their website (including generated images depicting Tracer from Overwatch) hyping up ChatGPT on his Linkedin account, and are including "rewarding gamers with crypto money"

Users speculate that Chosen buying out NexusMods is to potentially train an AI model that generates mods

I always thought the reason I saw so many of your posts on my dash was because you were popular but it turns out that I’ve been following you this whole time without realizing it. I’m too intrigued to stop now though

I only have ten followers so you actually just told me who you are, think about that a little bit

I actually passed away quite a few years ago, but I'm a very private person and never told anybody.

Actually watching breaking bad is fucking hilarious. Like for ages walter white has been presented to me as this cool tough smartguy and he’s genuinely the dumbest motherfucker on earth. These business strategies would sink a regular business, he’s fully clueless about the realities and risks of selling illegal substances and just hands those things off to a guy who keeps telling him “dude yo this is a bad idea”
