#nosepass #never been a huge fan of this guy but y'know. iiii've never seen anyone who is. i don'tknow if it's this one or probopass that has the like #compass functionality where they're always facing north for some reason. but i think this thing is like a fucking steel-type which is insane #ok. i was like. wrong about all of that. this one is a ROCK-type #and it is also the one that always faces north. probopass must be where it gains a steel-typing (and i think that's also a retrofit evo?) #(in liiike gen 4?) i dunno y'all pokémon is so fragmented #i looked it up and it said something about people of hisui figuring out that it always faces north and i'm wondering if that wasn't canon #until. legends arceus. but i don't think that's true?? if it actually wasn't until like gen 9 and i remember it as a long-standing fact then #that's. a little bit funny. lemme look up its older pokédex entries #ok no cool we've been saying that since gen 3 awesome. hi it's me from not the future but actually the present. i just edited shiftry's tags #to cut out a lot of the bullshit cleanup that i had in these tags. wow! see you in natdex 300 #↑ this is a reference to the uh. tags that i cut out. a reference only i will get………

I'm in love with your plane au. Out of curiosity, where did Vash get most of his scars from in it?

some of them are from before he got stuck in the plane, most of them are from armor piercing rounds and shrapnel that turned the plane into cheese :(

#ask #untitled plane au #honestly tragic #and kinda funny tbh #the legendary crimson typhoon the demon of the skies #was a jet with no combat capabilities at the time #its only real weapons being maneuverability and a dream #it gets retrofitted with missiles and a mountable gun a 100 years later

taking my driving test tomorrow morning wish me luck!!!

#aw jeez i hope i dont get docked points for not bringing my jorvik warmblood.... #do you guys know if they ask you what kind of tack your car has retrofitted? #idk i tried to learn all the shortcuts but im not sure where the examiner is going to put the wind boosts so im a little nervous!!

[kenzan-kiwami]

to be completely frank i think most of the people i've seen with major complaints regarding RGG 8's story are forgetting that 99% of what they're saying can be applied across the whole series

#this is not aimed at anyone in particular i've seen these sentiments all over #but things like 'well the story was mid' ok well come back to me after you've replayed yakuza kiwami. no optional majima everywhere allowed #and things like the ending falling flat - sure. but so did 7's #the pacing in the end chapter + chekhov's failboy were like. huh??? #i'm never gonna call RGGS perfect but they're NOT regressing at all. #if anything gaiden and 8 have got me extremely hopeful for whatever comes next #like it's their 20th anniversary this year they've left so many loose ends in 8 they can carry on from they've got forever to keep going #MY only complaint is that they couldn't have retrofitted more of gaiden into IW but i can't exactly fault them for that #idk for all of the dooming i'm seeing i want to say something more positive about the game as a whole #even if this post is still pretty doom & gloom #people just let their expectations get way too high for this one game and i'm not even sure how that happened in most cases #it met all of mine - hell it EXCEEDED them. but i recognise i may be privileged on that front lol <- kashiwagi likers are eating so well rn #text #8 #again i don't mean to attack anyone in particular it's just a general frustration i've been having #and i only hope that if there comes a time when people play over again that they're able to dig further into the meat of the story #and recognise that this game isn't uniquely 'shit' or 'mid'

psst nobody tell Thingol that his great-great-great-granddaughter (the spit and image of his long-reluctantly-lost daughter) grew up speaking Feanorian Quenya

#silmarillion #thingol #arwen #retrofitted feanorian elrond #seriously when Thingol gets re-embodied and finds out what his descendants have been up to linguistically #he's gonna pop a blood vessel and end up right back in Mandos

[pbandfluff]

the way my brain comes up with extended metaphor explanations for shit i will never be asked about, but it always seems so accomplished when it manages it so i just let the fucker keep doing it

#this brought to you by a new metaphor to explain disconnects in interpretive viewing of media #the tl;dr - media is like an illustration from those kids' 3D books #you know the ones with layers of red-blue color you needed to wear 3D glasses to get the full effect for #in the metaphor everyone gets a pair of those glasses #but most people only use them as directed - with both lenses at the same time #doing that lets you see the illustration as presented #but getting funky with the lenses - looking out of only one side or retrofitting other lenses in - strips away different layers of color #and sometimes you'll end up seeing shit under those layers that no one realized would ever be included #(and sometimes you'll see shit someone *definitely* wanted to be included) #and ultimately it no longer becomes a question of 'which of us is seeing the real thing' #because you're looking at the same illustration - the same piece of media - the same colors available to everyone #and now it becomes a question of 'well which lenses are you using' #and 'how do i see the shrimp colors as well'

[mensfrightsactivist]

okay i really need to eat something today but what meal says “might have just bought a house”

#that reminds me it has a GAS STOVE #yes my state will make me retrofit to electric in like 10 years but for now i get to cook with gas

conflicted on whether to make a new file for this playthrough (since carousel will be the wolf i play with most in the town area and thus it would be nice for her to See A Lot Of Cats) and lose some collectable progress...

#i get why some things cant be retrofitted to older save files but. sighs

[gingerbreadmonsters]

let's play a wip game!

rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have wips.

@friendlyfaded @bicyclepainting @krushkreates thank you for the tags! i tend to name a lot of my wips straight away, so most of these are more working titles than anything descriptive lmao ✌️

drop me an ask and we'll have a look! you can even send in several at once if you're feeling adventurous 👀👀

the whole shebang

tags: oh god ik loads of people have been tagged already - provisional tags go to @morgansplace @mar-the-magician @tiredandsleepyx @sealriously-sealrious @solclaw @barbabetos @amistytown bc i haven't checked the dash yet, but please - anyone else who is in the mood to play, you can say i tagged you, we won't tell anyone hehe 🤠🤠

#redacted asmr #ooh a game! #i don't normally share much about my wips until i'm in the home stretch #which is when you get those massive rb i do #and i NEVER share wip titles before the fic drops for good #so this is fun!! #some are subject to change but most will probably stay the same #i have so much fun coming up with and choosing titles #i much prefer to let that inform the direction that the fic is going to go in #rather than trying to retrofit a title to an already conceptualised piece

The term "walkable cities" makes me bristle. Despite the assumption that this is ignorance borne of U.S. citizenship, I do understand the term. I share a goal with the people using it.

But the focus on walkable perpetuates the exact design principles that makes my life hell: that anybody who isn't an ablebodied, healthy adult is not a consideration. The fact that other activists are telling disabled people to sacrifice our quality of life for a narrow vision of developed spaces is what's frustrating.

#accessibility #accessible cities #architecture #walkable cities #yimby #open mic night #not to pour fuel on the fire but straight up #this is a liberal talking point #it's the same milquetoast compromise that those aligned with the center continuously demand #this happened with white feminists shouting down Black feminists 'for the bigger picture' #this happened when gays insisted trans people were 'pushing the envelope too far' #again and again liberals and centerists are CONVINCED 'a battle of inches' means equality is earned by tiers #rather than the reality that it's not equity if you're offering rights to the few rather than the whole #accessibility isn't something you can fucking retrofit into architecture #slapping ramps on shit is pointless if there's only room for a fucking 20 degree incline #you can't even reach it if you paved the whole area in that cute cobblestone!!! #where are your seats for cane users? did you make pathways wide enough for crutch users to get through without balancing on uneven ground? #did you make the inexplicable decision of slapping down a transit stop without leveling off the ground? #there's a million and one ways even *buildings* that swear up and down that they are accessible #are actually completely unusable to so many people. and it cuts you off from so much more of the world than ablebodied people know. #infrastructure

#roserade #i was about to be like What Where's Roselia! but i remembered that this is another one of those evo lines that's all out of order #because of retrofit prevos and evos. i'm glad they haven't done any of these since like gen 4 bc these things are confusing #see i'm gonna say that and then someone is gonna point out one in like gen 5 or something. and then i will die. i will lose forever #i'm queuing this up waiting for the presents on august 8th. i'm sure i'll liveblog it on my main but like. it's not gonna be anything #it's just gonna be sv dlc. that's literally the one single interesting thing they're gonna mention. i swear. that's it #no WAY we're getting any other new games this year. we got TWO last year. and that was right after pl:a was back-to-back with bdsp #i would be Very wary about the quality of the next pokémon game if we do get one this year. which we won't bc main series DLC tends to #replace a new core series game. it stands in for one. as we saw with swsh. and then they'll do one next year on the fuckin switch 2 or w/e #centro pokémon says sv was the last $60 pokémon game. and now they're gonna be $70. which is sad but to be expected #dunno. the presents is gonna be long over by the time you all see this so maybe i'm wearing the fucking clown makeup and we got a pmd game #or hell. a new pokémon ranger. that has a dedicated fanbase. for a game i've never played. should i? maybe i should

Decided to dig up an old OC for funsies

#WIP #I guess lol - it's been ages since I took a picture instead! #Don't feel like scanning at the moment pffbtl #He only featured for one page back in 2018 and I gave him a first name with a question mark after it but that's good enough for me! Lol #I've been chasing a vibe for a little while and I feel like I can retrofit him into it - not fully but Enough #Plus I never really expanded upon his story concept so why not explore both at the same time #Other than that it's just fun and silly lol I haven't made this kind of meme before #It suits him hehe #Get rekt loser #He always looks like that don't worry about it he's greasy

had a dream that dwarf fortress had a space expansion where your fort became a spaceship and launched off into space, and it was all about space bullshit like meeting aliens at alien junkyards and mining asteroids and destroying planets with ur planet destroying laser. it had a really cool banner/logo that i might try to draw later.

#original #a specific detail i remembered was that to get into space you needed to find or construct a spaceship exoskeleton #and somehow construct ur fort around it #or retrofit your fort to fit around it #it was supposed to be like super lat game stuff #dwarf fortress

[wellenklavier]

ok i just found out you can bootleg the old ms paint so i might be able to survive using windows 11. we will see

#otherwise i will get my local shop to retrofit me with w10. #it was literally upsetting how bad the new paint is #im not using 'literally' flippantly i was actually so upset lol #like the tactile feel and then the mechanics... ruined... #now if they would only fix the everything else abt w11 that would be great ie start menu and taskbar calendar and file explorer

Specifically because I'm obsessed with old houses, I think Steve buys himself a little shitbox and makes it home. I don't think he'd go for anything as old as the 1800s, I vibe more with like Steve getting a little two bedroom at most 50s house from an old cat lady for cheap bc idk he drove by and noticed her struggling with her overgrown yard, had nothing better to do for the day, and somehow ends up her favorite adoptive nephew along the way (Steve is found family shaped)

#he moves in and gets bored #the floor is a little fucky so he tears it all up and ends up with original shit #the bathrooms are that cool pink/green tile style #he thinks the bathrooms look stupid initially but grows too fond #its just like he had a plaid room and yes i do hc his mom made that decision but also i think his parents were so absent they wouldnt have #even noticed if he changed it #steve harrington #give me steve who gets weirdly obsessed with restoring his old retrofit 50s house #give me steve who sets up little tendidos on his living room floor for the kids as they viciously mock him over having walked in to him #agonizing over which shade of white his semi sheer curtains should be

I need to commission a new profile because graphic design is no longer my passion and I’m not happy with anything I can come up with

but finding an image in my sea of images of attractive video game characters is really hard and i don’t know what to do lol

i’m too embarrassed too

#subeta #someday i'll get to it...... someday.......... #i could retrofit one of my 75 old profiles.........
