[cannibal-nightmares]

that scene in the anime, steins final battle against Medusa, when he comes face to face w Marie and he hides his face in a childlike way, retreating inward and finding less solace within himself even in contrast to the death and turmoil around him

yeah that's the scene

that moment means so much to me

What kind of fish do you imagine your boys to be 👀

I have a chart!!! I love to base the UF bros off betta, since 1 they're one of my personal faves, and 2 they're rather notoriously violent fish lol

The ut bros are based off tetra, since they're rather playful and friendly and the colours work really well haha

And the us bros are based on goldfish! Because they're very very smart and curious, it seemed to suit the both of them! And also the colours again shfjjdjsf

I really truly and honestly didn't intend to base them all off Pet Shop types of fish, so I don't know if they'll stay those types forever, but I have to do more research to pick types for my SF and FS boys, so maybe I'll find some new types I like more...

That being said, I would like to consistently keep each set of bros in their same families of fish regardless (like both uf bros being based on betta, though Edge is specifically delta betta and Red is crowntail) and I also like all the skeleton bros to look a little similar since they are still alternate versions of themselves! So if I like, suddenly changed them to jellyfish, I'd want all of them to be jellyfish, regardless of au, yk? I also always think shark mer boys are super cute but I'm addicted to big swishy tails ahdjdks

Actually, nah. I've recently changed my mind. Blacklisting tcest is clearly not enough in this fandom. I have to do HARD BLOCKING to get those repulsive, violating dipshits off my blog.

WEIRD WATER EFFECTS:

insane increase of carry weight limit -> improved endurance and ability to run faster and for longer and move faster through swamp water

wobbly vision, kinda like pleasantly drunk

better performace of my fucking laptop?? ever since i had it equipped the game barely lagged while on best quality graphic settings that usually don't run that smooth for me???

[replicastarglobe]

having a hard(er) time writing for Yvel so have a doodle in the meantime instead

Stage 2 Anger... just for entering the scene?

Man I haven't done art in a while...

I know I also said before that I was playing TGAA2, but I couldn't help myself (Athena is so precious to me)

(The state of the Mood Matrix is actually based on one of SoJ's sequences, by the way!)

I know someone said it already but it's truly insane to me how quickly gomens2 devolved fans into tjlc-levels of unwell

see the thing about clear sky that drives me in fucking sane is that it's impossible to separate his likability from his character. like. it is through a LOT of charisma and ability to find what motivates the new cats (from fear to pride to dreams of conquering one's enemies) to fight and die for him. he is extremely charismatic, even when he's being horrible. in fact, it you cannot divorce his terribleness from his charisma. there is something about him that makes other cats do many things for his approval, which he knowingly uses to his advantage. im obsessed with him and i need him dead (at the same time)

case in point: his scolding woud have much less effect on jagged peak if the latter didn't look up to him so much.

I think one of my most achievable goals in life is to see a UFO

So, as of the latest time I've updated my video card drivers, the screen capture utility I've been using for ages is suddenly once again able to actually capture my screen properly in games such as No Man's Sky. There was a process by which I could force a screen capture prior to this, but it involved hitting the screenshot hotkey, toggling out of and then back into the game, and then screenshotting a second time. This process would get the second capture to be a largely unprocessed version of the screen; the toggling seemed to force the screen at the time of toggling out into a buffer that the screen capture software could then see and read from (the first screen capture is whatever was on screen the previous time you toggled, but if you don't create it the buffering doesn't seem to occur). This was not exactly a rapid process, and the image quality also wasn't noticeably any better than the game's in-built screenshot tool. It's only real benefit was that it preserved the in-galaxy address displayed in the lower left corner, so prior to this I only used it when grabbing shots of things like starships or particularly interesting multitools.

So I've now gone from only being able to get jagged low-quality screenshots that don't have things like anti-aliasing happening, to actual decent quality screenshots, with just one capture and no toggling required. You can see the very distinct difference this makes in image quality between the first two pictures shown here.

Which of course meant I had to run around my current WIP base and take good-quality screenshots of it to show off :D

This is a semi-randomly placed base on an ice planet; I found one of those spots with a base computer in the middle of a large flat area (legacy of back when bases could only be built in specific locations and were one per save, I believe - which was before my time so that's based off of old forum posts). There were a few cave mouths in the hillsides bordering the flat area, including one particularly round one that had a very strong "that's a mine entrance" vibe to me from the way it was set into a recessed slope.

I'd been thinking of doing an on-planet frostwort farm instead of making a big gardening area for them on my freighter, because harvesting from biodomes is more plants gathered at a time (7-8 instead of 4, though they are more spread out). I decided yeah, this would be a fun place to build something (despite its lack of a power hotspot or resource node nearby) and hence ended up with this small mining-town-inspired base.

It has three mine entrances (01 is the original mine-like location), a biodome structure, starship pad with adjoining structure, a bar, powerhouse, etc. One of the caves behind the mine entrances (03) is small and very pretty with a skylight opening over top so it gets good light, and I ended up deciding to plunk my portal in there, which looks great and is only mildly dangerous when the scant handful of toxic plants have regenerated (I can live with that).

Still need to dress the interiors of a couple of the buildings, and possibly build some more of them. Have been having fun working on it for a couple of days already.

One of my all time biggest pet peeves with historical(ish) fantasy is when the writer constructs a religion with a clear bias that it's stupid and false and therefore only the Stupid People and/or commoners believe in it and all the smart/elite main characters are like, quasi-atheists or otherwise just routinely flout established religious conventions of orthodoxy and/or orthopraxy because they're Too Smart for it or etc.

It's usually an extension of assumptions that people in the past were just less intelligent than in the contemporary, just being like "I know that the sun is a star millions of miles away that the earth orbits, but this ancient religion describes it as a chariot flying through the sky" and not really bothering to learn the context and just (consciously or subconsciously) settling on 'that's a crazy thing to think and was probably believed in because they were Stupid'.

And that whole attitude pisses me off so much. People were as 'smart' 10,000 years ago as they are today. These beliefs aren't just desperate, random flailing to explain phenomena that could not directly be accounted for either, it's not like people just looked at the sun and went "Uhhh I don't know what the fuck that thing is, actually. I guess it might be a chariot or a boat or something?? Yeah let's go with that." and based entire religious practices on this. Every well-established belief system exists within broader contexts of cultural values/subjective perceptions of reality/knowledge systems/etc, and exist as part of a historical continuum of religious practices that came before. Even when not Materially Correct, they have context and internal logic, they're not always dead literal with zero levels of allegory, and they're never a result of stupidity.
