#spent more money

[1eos]

what's with ppl acting like if you didn't pick up something as a child then you'll never learn as if you're locked in stasis once you're an adult? it kinda makes me sad bc you spend most of your life as an adult :/ the idea that most of your life you're just miserably unable to do anything new is just so.... bleak

#adulthood does suck but no more than childhood 😭😭😭😭 #like yeah i hate working but as a kid you spent so much time doing nothing waiting for your parents to finish #i feel like it's an even trade-off but now i have my own money and can do what i want when i want

showing off the commission i got from @ruporas for my fic, In the Next Life!

i'm still so incredibly excited about this. it's been some months since the story event that caused these scars, but i wanted SO BADLY to be able to see what they'd actually Look like... & Here They Are.

ruporas rendered the scars So Well, i just cant stop Looking at them... there's a Fresh & a Healed version, which ruporas was kind enough to give me without additional charge (Thank U Again😭😭) so i get to see what it looks like at different stages.

Lichtenberg Figures. in terms of actual scarring, lightning strikes that people survive don't tend to leave permanent scars, but the lichtenberg figures that they (usually temporarily) leave behind are just So Cool... Now, what happens when you get someone who can survive an amount of electricity/lightning that would be Frankly Lethal to any normal human person?

This :]

#speculation nation #trigun #vash the stampede #vash #in the next life #itnl shit #itnl art #there's a certain amount of Suspension Of Disbelief surrounding this whole injury #do i think it's necessarily realistic? not really. but the fun thing about fiction (especially for a nonhuman character like vash) is #I Do What I Want. #and so i DID shoot him with (what shouldve been) a lethal amount of lightning and it DID leave him with (what wouldve been) 4th degree burn #but his healing ability is fucking insane so it really only put him out of commission for a week or so #functionally. he's still dealing with pain from it though (not that he's gonna admit That to anyone) but yeah #im so in love with how ruporas drew the scars overlapping. he mentioned he did research for it and MAN it really paid off #and. man. vash really does look Chewed the Fuck Up huh #ultimately tho just one more scar for the collection! it just happens to be.. the most extensive single scar lol #but he'll be fiiine he's totally fiiine (pay no attention to the world-weary look in his eyes)(he's totally fine guys everything is Fine) #alternate caption for this commission piece: Chewing on him Chewing on him Chewing on him #god ruporas's art is so fuckin good. best money ive ever spent

i got an alien aisha from a fountain faerie quest 🥺 i named her cosmica...

#neopets #alien aisha #aisha #cats #art #neopets fanart #nostalgia #y2k #doodles #Twice Ever in my life have i used real life money to buy a fictional currency for pretend items. the second time was to make a slot #just so i could make and paint a brand new neopet bc all my free slots were full. best $5 i ever spent #now her name is not exactly cosmica but i don't want people finding my account. but also i need you to know i got reeeaaallly lucky #with the name. its hard to brag about the name without giving away the exact name asdfjklsdf #i have three fucking aishas. i like the cats ok #there are lots of pets i would like to own in theory but pet slots are limited and i don't want to buy another one #unless they release a really really cute color for the vandagyre. then i will make. ONE more

I see why they jokingly call gunpla an addiction. I simply opened the packaging and I'm already getting the happy-chemical in my brain.

it's basically the same explanation as in the manga, but the anime has made it easier for me to understand what Kabru's beef is with the Touden siblings, and I think that explanation was really well done

#in the manga i was like 'he doesnt like them... because they give their money away??' #but here its much clearer. he doesn't like them because they just straight up funded an underground crime ring #and they didn't know and kabru knows they didn't know #but it's that lack of thought of what the consequences might be of their actions that he really doesnt like #and its such a nice breakdown of a complicated situation #because WE have spent the entire last season falling in love with these siblings and their autistic tendencies #but kabru's brand of neurodivergence is figuring out how people work and understanding social dynamics #he cares so deeply about the dangers a dungeon brings to the humans involved #and understanding how everyone inside and outside a dungeon does what they do and why #and then these two very capable tallmen siblings waltz into town... and they just dont give a shit #they're changing the social environment so much without giving it any thought. thats got to be incredibly grating #/I/ find it annoying when people wont think critically about things i love to think critically about!! #anyway. i love kabru. i love that we're going to start seeing more of him. love that the anime fans are going to fall in love with him too #if they havent already

#i made another purchase last night. sigh. #in the grand scheme of things its not an insane amount of money #however its definitely more than the amount of money ive spent on merch for #every single other fandom ive ever been in put together #mostly because i wasnt really a merchfiend before this

Behold! this video of my cat Helios being bad at drinking water without getting his big ol head wet.

#he is beautiful he doesnt need to be smart #im blazing it bc i want more people to see the Doofus in action #officially the first money ive ever spent on tumblr btw #shoebox speaks #helios

Why do I tell people to play indie games?

K' so you may have seen that post I made a little while ago asking people reblog and put into the tags an indie game that they did NOT like.

I made that post because I wanted to hear about what indie games people had bad experiences with. There was another post I made saying "Tell me you don't play indie games without telling me you don't play indie games" in response to a ton of youtube videos saying modern video games are no longer fun. A lot of tags would say, "Well indie games can suck too!" This response was extremely silly to me and I wanted to know what games they could be talking about.

I didn't ask for it, but so many people starting explaining why they didn't like a certain game. So I decided to make a little pie chart with the reason people would give in the tags

There are some outliers not here. There were 5 tags saying a game offended them and some responses that were too specific to really count. Half of the posts also gave no explanations so I'm not going to act like this is representative of every response on that post.

Okay so what's the point? Why did I do this?

There's this one 30 minute video by Josh Strife Hayes that does a super good job showcasing all of the bad practices that happen with modern gaming. He talks about each issue thoroughly, but I'll list them here:

Microtransactions, Limited Progression, Invite Boosts, Premium Currency, Loyalty Programs, Selling Power, Battlepasses, and Selling Progression

He doesn't even mention other issues like games releasing in clearly unfinished states, games that are clearly chasing trends, and game developers being restricted by their publishers.

Why is this significant? Well answer me this: Was there a single tag response in my post that complains about an indie game doing these things?

Say what you want about indie games, but I bet you didn't pay $60 and got psychologically manipulated to spend more on that game. I bet you weren't getting manipulated by some free to play model to spend more money than you would on a normal game. I bet the game actually released in a finished state and even if it did, the game clearly communicated it wasn't done.

Sure, you could give me examples of indie games that do have those bad practices, but I guarantee you that you cannot prove that most indie games do this.

So yeah, play indie games. Don't support corporate bullshit unless you know the game was made with the player's best interest in mind.

#indie games #video games #aaa games #gaming #and yeah pay attention to middleware games too #long-ish post #think of it another way #which game is worse? The game you hate that you spent $60 on or the game you hate that you spent $25 on #Battlefield 2042 would NEVER happen with an indie game #remember how awesome gaming was “back in the day?” #yeah you can experience that right now by playing indie games and middleware titles #who knows maybe if everyone stopped supporting these god awful AAA games with their money they'll wise up and actually make some good games #also shoutouts to another post that could very easily flop due to my small blog lol #I like get my thoughts and reasonings out of my head though #dont want my thoughts festering in my brain I need more space my obsessions #would like to see this post reach those who responded to the other posts though #will probably reblog it later tomorrow

when i bought a laptop i forgot about checking if it had a cd player. only after the fact, did i realize it, because i assumed its something that every laptop should have.

and today i bought a phone, and only now do i realize that the fucker does not have a headphone jack, something i still use a lot cause i'm not a fan of wireless earphones. because again, i just assume it's something every phone has.

i think technology is becoming worse.

like it's my bad for not checking that out sure. but why wouldn't it have it? like if you have it and ppl wanna use wireless they still can! if you dont have it the ppl that want earphones with wires are fucked (i mean i googled it and i think i can still use earphones, but it has to be specific ones, not just regular ones? or u can use an adapter? idk )

#STOP TAKING THINGS OUT #technology feels more hostile aksdjksdhf #idk what i'm saying i'm just pissed off #having said that it is a good phone and i spent half the money i thought i'd spend but like damn
