Me as a child playing super mario 64: it’s nice that Nintendo included temporary guardrails on the hazy maze cave elevator when you bonk it into things so you’re less likely to fall off when it does its wobble. :-)
Several years later, when the parallel universe dutch pancake man returns to youtube to spend over 3 hours explaining how invisible walls work in sm64: It was actually a result of the game rounding the coordinates of where the elevator is and the wobble causing the fricking ceiling to briefly leak through infinitely upward like some eldritch horror. Nintendo definitely didn’t intend for that to happen.
Laios does not come across as a badass and it makes it 1000x times cooler when he reminds you how goddamn competent he is.
He's just so grounded and treats his job as so mundane, like of course he's concerned with having everyone fed and rested. Of course he thinks about the terrain, how solid his footing will be, how much space they have to move around eachother. There is not a single monster in this dungeon that Laios doesn't take seriously and believe could kill him if he slips up.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.
Another example of Janeway being a great tactician is in Flesh and Blood 2 parter.
On their best day, Voyager is no match against one Hirogen ship but they have to go up against two to save B'Elanna and the EMH Doctor. Voyager's also in no condition to fight.
What does Janeway decide?
Hide Voyager in the wake of the Hirogen engines:
And the moment the Hirogen tracks the rogue Holograms who kidnapped B'Elanna, disable the Hirogen ships before they even know what hit them.
And then disables the two ships just as she planned with Voyager having barely functional shields at this point.
Seriously, imagine the kind of damage she would have done during the Dominion War. Sisko and Janeway would've been a force.
The best part of tumblr imo is very much the niche shit you find on here. Like yeah "fandom" is mainstream these days, the internet is flooded with Star Wars content but where the fuck else am I supposed to find the most unhinged gay shitposts about the old men from 2000s hit tv show House MD. Who in the year of our lord 2023 is thinking about Ben from Lost?? ME and 12 other incredible ppl on this hellsite, that's who
Hey guys, a friend of a friend is doing a Fiber Arts survey for her capstone, and it would be a huge help if those of you who do any kind of fiber/textile art could take this survey and also spread it to anybody you know who is currently or was previously involved with textile arts, from your sister who makes subversive cross stitch to your great grandpa who took up knitting when he served in the Marines.
The capstone project is on the Importance of Fiber Arts to Female Socialization in Patriarchal Societies. She is looking to gather the data on the 21st century fiber artists to see how current fiber artists are viewed and view themselves.
