Very normal about this scene. I've watched it a regular number of times. something so innately homoerotic about Mulder fixing Scully's necklace after he humiliated himself defending her profile

[image descriptions:

image 1 mulder and scully are in a quiet corner of the police station. both wearing suits. a shot over mulders shoulder scullys hair is tied back. her necklace of kilter. caption "scullly: it seems like you were acting very territorial"

image 2 shot is over scullys shoulder. Mulder reaches toward her chest. caption: mulder: "of course I was"

image 3 Over mulder shoulder as he pulls scullys necklace so it will fall in the correct postion. its a heart locket. scully looks up to him with bedroom eyes.

Assassin’s Creed 2

Completed: 9/5/2022

Playtime: 21h 14m

My Ezio looked nothing like the above photo.

In fact, my Ezio was such a bumbling himbo he’d frequently kill civilians to break his fall when slipping off ledges because he jumped the wrong way. I love him for it.

Assassin’s Creed II is frequently hailed as an excellent game, one of the best of all time, let alone in the bloated series itself. I’m here to tell you that folks - it ain’t great. It’s quite bad, strung together by tape and wire. It introduces so many inconsequential mechanics, like a heat system, multiple weapons, and a…gun, that are all so utterly useless you can ignore them the entire game. Ezio has the ability to leap from building to building, but it’s often times faster to walk on the ground. Guards increase their alert level the more brashly you do things in public, but lose you the minute you're above eye level. You can hire people to hide in plain site despite wearing the most outlandish costume in all of Renaissance Italy.

And you know what? It’s some of the most fun I’ve had playing a game in a long time.

It’s just pure silliness. I’m sure the family-revenge plot was hailed as the best writing of its time, a real serious yarn about conspiracy and bloodlust that showed games could do real writing. Nowadays it’s just dang goofy. Ezio is goofy! He never really became an Assassin in my game, so much as he just bumbled his way through all of the assassinations by jumping and mashing the instant-kill button. I’m actually upset the Steam Deck doesn’t record footage because this post would be filled with Italy’s Funniest Home Video moments.

What the game lacks in polish and solid mechanics, it makes up for in historical detail. When the game wasn’t being goofy, it was so cozy. Alleys and street corners, piazzas and churches, I enjoyed walking and climbing around the re-imagined cities I’ve explored first hand and soaking in the atmosphere. As a historical reconstruction, it was fun an entertaining.

Shame they didn't let me kill the pope in the end.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

This might be a hot take but can Mrs.Flood just be Mrs.Flood who knows what a TARDIS is cause she lived in London all her life, where alien shit is happening at least once a year and is always accompanied by the doctor and a strange police box.

Yk the doc aren’t as subtle as they think they are, word gets around as to what the box actually is.

#believe me when i say id love nothing more for the Rani to come back #but i also love the idea that regular ppl have finally cought on to the fact that theres an alien running around with a police box #also we need fresh characters #not everything needs to be a niche call back #i do reserve the right to take back this statement if it is the rani though #doctor who #the doctor #this is my life now huh #the rani #dw spoilers #church on ruby road #dw season 1 #dw #fifteenth doctor

"you only say you're autistic because you want to feel special and different" actually finding out i was autistic made me feel significantly less special and different. before i was autistic i was Strange and Unpredictable in some sort of Unknowable way which Surely meant i was Predestined for Greatness (like storybook character). now im just some fuckin autistic guy like any other. i significantly prefer it this way btw

#this isnt about being a gifted kid btw this is about being different from everyone else #seeing that all the famous people you look up to were Also described as being different from everyone else #and going “ahah! i must be a main character of some sort! i cannot wait for my fascinating tale to unfold!” #“perhaps i will be the first contact which alien life makes with earth! perhaps i am secretly a shapeshifting cat!” #only to grow up & find out what autism is & go “oh im actually just like millions of other people who are not famous at all. yay!” #autism #autistic #actually autistic

This animal is called Zngti or Jngti on the southern Shess peninsula, and Anglophone humans sometimes refer to them as "centaur dogs" or "hawkdogs." They are an omnivorous predator that occupied a niche similar to a fox prior to domestication, and now fill a variety of roles in centaur settlements. They descended from a viviparous sister clade of centaurs where the hind limbs developed into a balancing organ similar to the tail of an Earth vertebrate, but did not specialize into claspers and a pouch such as in Tep (the silk dairy livestock).

Zngti do not have a strong pack coordination instinct and are not commonly used for hunting large game or herding livestock. In some ways they're comparable to domestic cats, often left unsupervised around food storage or crops to hunt vermin, but their territoriality also makes them useful for livestock defense or sentry roles.

Although there are no commonly held breed standards, different regions may have one or two specialized varieties for different functions. For game hunting, varieties tend to have a build similar to the wildtype but with flashy coat patterns. Tunnel hunting and vermin control varieties tend to have stout bodies and a bearded face to protect them from clawing prey and dirt entering their eyes and nostrils. Bulky guardian breeds are variously used to defend livestock, property, and children from threatening wildlife or strangers. Sentry alert breeds will raise a continuous "siren" howl through their excurrent nostrils in response to intruders. Most Zngti are work animals first and companions second, but in some urbanized regions toy breeds can be found. Derived from squat vermin hunting varieties, they are usually brightly colored with concave skulls that make them resemble a trunk-smiling centaur.

Although to centaurs Zngti are relatively small animals, they are often heavier and taller than humans. Some guardian breeds can be as large as a cow.
