Fallout New Vegas is one of the best games of all time not for any of the great stuff it actually has in it, but for how funny the brain disease it gave Bethesda is

#IIRC there's several reliable reports that a lot of major figures at Bethesda are pissed out of their minds #about how New Vegas is infinitely more popular than anything they made #but honestly even if it weren't for that you could kinda just tell based on the stuff that keeps making it into bethesda fallout stuff #fallout

Bound Man by John Singer Sargent, c. 1917-21

#john singer sargent #i think his sketches are soooo much more interesting and alive-seeming than his portraiture #just found out his male nude sketches were “hidden” until a gallery show in the 1980s and then everyone was like hmm maybe this dude was ga #tho apparently that was well known by his friends at the time lol #i saw this sketch irl at the art institute several years ago but its not on display now #its funny bc iirc it was like. a kind of underwhelming exhibit of portraiture and then these REALLY COOL sketches at the end #s

reminder that if you're not watching Crayon Shin-chan then you are living a hollow and empty life. this is not edited. this ripped straight from the movie (Movie 8: Jungle That Invites the Storm, highly recommend for fellow Masaaki Yuasa lovers)

if you need further convincing: these monkeys run an animation sweatshop

#i've made this disclaimer on another post but will again since i've seen a lot more of the movies now #the movies are VERY good and very enjoyable but unfortunately the first handful are bogged down by transphobic/homophobic/okama stereotypes #they kind of vary in their severity. Movie 5 i think is the biggest catalyst because it features the stereotyped characters the most #prominently. Movie 3 doesnt really have caricatures per se but saves a very backhanded reveal for the end #Movies 1 and 4 are a bit more tolerable if my memory is correct. Movie 2 i think is kind of comparable to Movie 5 with its caricatures #in that the characters have similar roles in both movies #i admittedly can't remember what caricatures there were in Movie 6 or 7. 7 i think barely had anything #RAMBLE RAMBLE BASICALLY: these jokes are within the first 7 movies or so 5 being the zenith then reducing down and down. by movie 8 it's sa #e #i give these disclaimers because these movies are all very enjoyable and i would not recommend them if i didnt think there wasnt any merit #o them. they are all very much worth watching. Movie 5 still has a lot of very enjoyable stuff in it (there's a showdown in a supermarket!! #but i just want to make sure that is clear and established since transparency is good to have and i dont want anyone's viewing experience t #be ruined because they weren't given the proper warning #if it's any consolation it's my understanding that even the directors hated doing the jokes #iirc Keiichi Hara really didn't like doing the jokes and i think had a talk with the mangaka Yoshito Usui and was like 'uh dude this is #gonna age horribly can we maybe not' #ironically Hara's first film is Movie 5. which is again the biggest offender #BUT! that is my spiel. my understanding is that it's contained to those 6 or 7 first movies and i think is strictly just a movie thing #so please do give these films a watch but just be mindful at the same time #if anyone needs recommendations my favorites have been movies 4 and 9 but i genuinely really enjoyed every one that i have seen #i've seen the first 11 and a half movies (need to finish 12) and movie 22. the worst i've felt about one is 'oh that was pretty good!' #each film has its own merit and is very very very much worth watching #22 was the first Shin-chan anything i watched and all my Shin-chan expert friends say 4 is a good introductory piece #in case that influences anything/makes it easier to break in #so. thus concludes my spiel #csc #vid

This seems to be a reference to Lorentz transformations? The first formula is apparently a derivation, and seems to be the inverse of the time part of the transformation (there's a space part too), for what I've been able to find.

The second formula is Newton's second law.

#I don't know physics so I've had to read about Lorentz transformations and I'm still unsure because I lack a lot of context #But it seems extremely interesting #It all seems to work so well with everything else Ratio has going on. The needed reference frame works well with his line in his ultimate #It seems the framework are usually cartesian coordinates? I have to check if it's not that in later physics #It all also seems to work in a Hilbert space for what I've read but I wonder if that's always the case #iirc Gauss was quite set on non euclidean geometry working on larger spaces #For what I've understood Newton used Galilean transformations and Einstein did Lorentz #Lorentz though still takes into account Galilean transformations and includes time if I've understood right? #Reading about this has made Poincaré look more interesting than he had ever before to me maybe I should look into it again #But mostly I've been thinking of Riemann. I don't know anything about any of this #but for what little I know of Riemann it crossed my mind several times that some of what I've read tonight pertaining Lorentz #would work nicely with him. Something about pseudo Euclidean spaces too iirc made me think that #I kept thinking of him from time to time so I was surprised I never actually saw him mentioned #Oh that reminds me I ended up finding an essay that proposed unlike atoms matter could be infinitely reduced and its implications #It was an extremely interesting read if nothing else also due to how it waved different fields. But I'm rambling #Veritas Ratio #Traces #I talk too much #Sorry for the tag again but I want to be able to find this in the future #I can't believe going to those group theory classes for fun has been useful in any way in my life #even if to help me understand with a little more ease something I ended up reading due to a gacha game haha #I don't remember much of what I studied back then but it was enough to recognise what was going on at times #and not struggle to understand the very very very basics of some things I read #ANYWAY again on my bullshit but so much of this could work nicely in Penacony and it will be so sad if they do nothing with it #Also I forgot to add that dp/dt is also used in medicine #It's a blood pressure ratio iirc but I haven't looked more into it bevande it seemed clear to me it was Newton's second law #Especially with the F. But I mention this to save the information. Who knows #Perhaps the formula was intended to be taken with that double sense to reference his medical facet #and perhaps it was intended also as a joke if it's really a ratio. I still think it's just Newton but yes I'm writing this down just in case

you really admitted to feeding your pet Rachel Ray brand while discouraging people from using vet approved brands huh

Yes, anon. Because that is the food my veterinarian recommended for my dogs, you ninny.

this is what I feed my dogs, again, something discussed with my vet, who I would imagine knows more about pet nutrition than you do.

#This isn’t even a good roast because Rachael ray isn’t a scandalous dog food #it was one of like 50 brands with dog food the fda investigated the grain free diets for something that could cause DCM #but the fda couldn’t decisively link the DCM cases to food at all let alone any food in particular #and I can’t stress enough that I don’t even feed grain free to my animals so this isn’t even relevant #shocking: dog food company makes more than one line of dog food #and the only recall on this brand was for specific flavors of wet cat food in ~2015 or so? Iirc #which. as stated in the post. my cats don’t eat Rachael ray #my dogs do #supplemented with other canned food #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #again #my cats eat a prescribed Royal canin and 4health #Stay mad about it though I guess #Purina has had SEVERAL RECALLS AND LAWSUITS FOR THE RECORD #but sure we can pretend they get a gold star #hills had to recall 30+ food lines because they had enough vitamin D to kill pets and this was just in 2021 #can we stop acting like the ~vet approved~ brands are any better than any of the rest

A Friendly reminder:

SO THAT THIS BITCH! COULD! RUN!

I think “tsukasa cusses (said fuck in law evading rock)” and “Tsukasa does not cuss (feels like he needs to set a good example)” can coexist actually. Tsukasa cusses around ppl his age + nene (she wore him down by bullying him) and emu (after the 9000th jumpscare she subjected him to in the first month of knowing him he gave up) but if they’re saki’s age or younger he’s like I need to be a big brother/be responsible and set a good example as a future star.

#crucially saki does cuss she just knows she can’t do it in front of tsukasa because he’ll act like he’s just been shot #and go where did you learn that… you’re too young… #(saki having a flashback to tsukasa stubbing his toe & loudly saying fuck at age 10) don’t worry about it!! #obv this is with an English lens I’m not familiar enough w Japanese curse words #although I do know there’s a tendency to borrow English curse words and they’re viewed as less severe #and Japan has more of a rude grammar thing and not a rude words thing #fascinating to learn abt how many English curse words don’t really have an equivalent just bc cultural differences #like the western emphasis on paternal line -> bastard as a swear word isn’t really a thing in jpn iirc #jpn sonic cartoon said English curse words because they’re not viewed as super severe #+ iirc places like Costa Rica have a large amount of younger ppl who use English swear words bc their parents don’t know what it means

What is the wildest piece of trivia from the game you know?

Coming from a wiki editor, I'm a behind the scenes historian. Some few examples include:

The fact the key promotional artist was semi-viral in the Spanish JoJo community.

The fact Jacksepticeye played a prior project from Genow (Robin is the game in question).

The fact Maki was the first character created in general.

The cut cutscenes between Vanessa & Hoaxe.

Being indirectly responsible for leaking new info about the game because I copied & pasted something from the discord server.

And the funniest one.

Genow accidentally liking a NSFW artist's SFW Kabbu fanart and being unaware on the content that person draws.

bold of you to assume i know any cool trivia that i didn't learn from the wiki lmao. EVERYTHING you just said is new information to me

like, some background lore i know is the "you shouldnt be able to use the compass in the beehive" argument, leif used to a lady named cerise, some of the characters came from an earlier version where the game was about sea creatures instead of bugs.

but yeah most of the trivia i know is throw away lines from having team snakemouth chit chat/talk to npcs that mean absolutely nothing to the overall game but mean everything to me <3

#fun facts from such throwaway lines #vi is Very Bad with machinary #she also wants own a shop #Leif is older than the invention of glasses #leif HATES “termite pop” #leif thinks that running something like the coliseum would be fun #kabbu is scared on the bridge from the hive to the tree #but he thinks that the bounce mushrooms are a lot of fun #he also wanted desperately to roll down the sand dunes for fun but leif and vi wouldnt do it cause they didnt want sand in their fur #the bees that work in the factory work several day shifts #iirc the bee in the hive running the shop. it was like literally her first day or something lol #when talking to the stickbug someone comments to leif 'not used to seeing someone taller than you huh?' #which is where ALL my tall leif proof comes from fuck the sprites i am correct #kabbu is incredibly curious and wants to buy everything from the junk seller on metal island #he sees a crack in the wall and he HAS to find out whats on the other side #i dont remember any more off the top of my head lol #ask #chit chat #aged-string

[everybodysaycbx]

#not counting the japanese songs bc they dont remember ANY of those b sides you cant convince me otherwise #btw none of these songs are bad imo exo just has a lot of songs and most if not all of these they havent performed in several years #even including exploration in 2019 which at least 8 of them werent performed during iirc #also yes i remember when kyungsoo was at his birthday fanmeet and didnt remember how walk on memories went #thinking about that inspired this but i didnt include it bc i think theres more songs that they also dont remember lmao #and i will fully admit there were a couple of these where i had to listen to them again bc i didnt remember how they went just by title #i might make another one if anyone else has some suggestions for songs that are so forgotten that even i forgot them lol

one of my sister’s cats that I grew up with passed away :( rip dimitri you were the biggest boned boy i’ve ever known

#gd these pics are so old #‘grew up with’ is strong but I lived with him for several years as a teenager #anyway his normal weight was 18 pounds #he wasn’t chunky he was just Huge #i’m more than a little worried that her other cat is going to follow suit though #close to the same age & they’d lived together for like 13ish years iirc #animal death - #marc.txt

genuinely wonder how fate would hypothetically adopt the apricot yellow flag (杏黄旗) used by Jiang Ziya in Fengshen Yanyi as a Noble Phantasm

#like ik it wasn't originally his and was more wu ji gave it to yuanshi tianzun who gave it to jiang ziya iirc?? #(pls correct me if I'm wrong though) #but yeah while not originally his he still Used It several times during fengshen yanyi #and while i know his Rider class nps are more or less set in stone i just wonder how fate is going to establish its mechanics if it does #come up at some point...i have my ideas but im a little curious regardless #jiang ziya (fate) #jiang ziya (fgo) #jiang ziya #taigong wang #taigong wang (fgo) #fgo #fate grand order #lulas's randomness #for sure id be surprised if it wasn't a defense-oriented NP though

gently shakes mxtx hoping some worldbuilding falls out

#this is re: the night hunts discovery but also in general #you have shit like chapter 2/3 mentioning wwx coming up with a classification of the 'severity' of the hauntings based on how many people #were killed in a timespan. or the fact that apparently there's A list of the most ??? young masters #but like. details? how did these came to be? they're just thrown into the wind and Deal With It Dear Reader #who came up with the ranking. are there monthly polls that the young ladies from the cultivating families vote on #is this something an association of matchmakers came up with. is this something out of a 'magazine' for non-cultivators #because i guess cultivators are kinda like celebrities in this 'verse? what are the criteria? WE JUST DON'T KNOW DOT BIRD #and the night hunts. what IS a night hunt. is this when people are like 'help i am being haunted/something is OFF' #is this when there are some vague reports and a group of cultivators goes 'ok we meet on the 15th around 5pm and #whoever deals with the Thing first gets to harass the locals for the payment' #is this an official tournament organized by one of the cultivating sects? #what's the difference in 'there's a Weird Beast That Oozes Slime' and 'this woman saw her child and husband get eaten #alive by a furious ghost' and are they both equally game-fied #because like. iirc the organization of a Big Official Tournament-like 'night hunt' requires one to... gather? the monsters? #oh yeah and there's that. what's the monster/ghost/fuckery density in this world. am i going to stumble on 13 different #ghosts/monsters/whatever 5 minutes into what was supposed to be a pleasant walk in the woods OR are they #more like... rare? i don't know man. i'm already tired #and like DON'T system me i know. i know this is a webnovel its purpose is Not to have impeccable everything #it's primarily a fun romp with oooooo main gay couple!! but. nng #shrimp thoughts

in the very. VERY. distant future. i hope to have all of my bitches bios like this.

#FR #Flight Rising #and yes that includes having a pixel sig of them . . . . i need to hunt down several more artists #not that i wouldnt mind solely giving ado money but they already got like a 2 mile long list iirc LMFAOO #anyways. trying to figure out how i wnt the rest of the bio to look. bah

I thought "Forest of Swords" was just a pretty name, but now knowing it's a punishment given by the Ten-Lords Commission I wonder how it links to Blade

#Fragments and scraps #I talk too much #It's the punishment given to the criminal whose capture marked the beginning of the alliance between the Xianzhou and the Foxians iirc #which makes me even more intrigued given the‚ well‚ everything #It's also restricted to name Jingliu to this criminal which is interesting but several of such criminals had this warning listed #So I wonder if there's any particularity here or if she was 'just' the one to apprehend these people #and the story is not much more interesting beyond that. I would love to know though #There are several mentions and names thrown in this that intrigue me very much. I think they make sense #such as Huaiyan being permitted always to visit the Flint Emperor or the marshal of the Xianzhou being the one dealing with Shuhu #but it makes me wonder about them too. Yingxing being the one designing a binding for the criminal that formed delusions to imprison them #in one of their own is very interesting and I'd love to know more about this story. The concept and process. But I guess this will be all #Jing Yuan's name being restricted to be called in front of the criminal they use for interrogations works so well #with how the criminal is being used in exchange for seven days of freedom yearly. That feels such a Jing Yuan move indeed. I loved it #There was a Memorysnatcher that tried to steal the general's memory and I wonder who that was since it wasn't specified #I guess Jing Yuan since we're in the Luofu? That was intriguing too. The previous general was also mentioned at some point #The fact they wonder whether Shuhu is the one in the box is extremely intriguing #especially in the context of what Jingliu said about what Yingxing did #The silence around Imbibitor Lunae is extremely intriguing too but it doesn't surprise me at all. I wonder if it has to be with Jing Yuan #Because that too is a very Jing Yuan move I think. And I love him for that. I adore how he deals with things #I don't talk about him all that much I think but he's one of my favourite characters. Probably my second favourite #I digress... Everything else intrigued me but didn't surprise me all that much #The 'Forest of Swords' mention‚ though‚ I wasn't expecting at all. And maybe I should have‚ given 'Shuhu's gift' #and the mention of being reborn from a husk. Apparently weightless details that later on got a lot of development and importance #I love that they got that treatment. I say this a lot but I truly adore how this game deals with details and how they get developed #ANYWAY this was a joy to read. I see genius craftman Yingxing being mentioned and a reference to Huaiyan existing at all and I go 🥺✨💕 #I wonder if we'll ever meet Huaiyan. Oh‚ or see the Zhuming. I would love to #So many typos but I'm not sure I'll be fixing them. It's annoying #And sorry for not censoring but I go here to put down some thoughts while I play and it's such a hassle to remember to do so #Besides I always seem to forget doing so once or twice and that's enough for the post to appear in the tags anyway

one day i might want to make a master post with all of my AO3-user tips because (and this is a toxic trait of mine ik) i get REALLY irritated with a lot of ‘advice’ posts that just repeat the same basic information in a patronizing way without offering like... actually specific input. 

and i think ao3 as a whole is a relatively easy site to use you just gotta get the hang of it. in a sense i would really liken it to tumblr because one of the things about tumblr is that you can’t just join the site and then hit an explore page directly, that’s not really how this place works, you usually have to populate your dash with blogs. with ao3 it is significantly harder to just search up ships and works imo, it’s best if you already have favorite tags and how you do that is finding specific fics and then going from there and exploring in a branch off method. so once you use it for a while it’s extremely comfortable and remarkably convenient it’s just not really the easiest from the get go.

#nightmare.personal #i think a LOT of people talk about like. don't over tag. but idk do people know when they should and shouldn't overtag? #that's a specific thing i think about because. i mean TLDR i think when it comes to characters and ships #you tag them if by removing them from the fic you would lose a substantial portion of the fic's content #like a fleeting mention to a background character eh you don't need that #but if a background character is not directly pictured but is repeatedly referenced then yes i do say you tag that #though you can note them as being mentioned and i think that's a tag that filters into their main so #just helpful as an indicator #also as i was saying earlier you can tag pretty broadly #bc ngl there are a Lot of Really Specific Tags on ao3 but they honestly lack a LOT of tags that i at least commonly use #derealization and dissociation iirc aren't formal tags there so i kind of do my best to tag that anyway and then #clarify in the beginner's notes. notes are SO useful #i think when you approach something like a series of drabbles in one fic that gets a little more difficult to explain but #i think you can find a way to manage that too #it would just mean only tagging the most critical components of the fic or things that are sweepingly occurring #so like a several chapter dump of drabbles might warrant a whump tag if like 4/10 are whump centric #but if like 1 character appears in the background of only 2 of them i wouldn't say tag that #also having a table of contents chapter or very descriptive (non artsy) chapter titles + beginner's note is super helpful

Honestly CWD is criminally underutilized in animal xenofiction imo (as is horror in general). We need to talk more about how deer essentially have their own zombie plague.

#this is also one of several reasons you shouldn't fuck with or feed deer #like not only do they become more dangerous to humans if you feed them. if they congregate they can spread deer zombie disease. #also there haven't been cases of it spreading to humans iirc but it has spread to other primates in a lab setting. so.
