2024: Donkey Hide Road to Riches Create Demand, Hike Prices

Another in the series of donkey-hide gelatin and the Africa – China donkey trade inspired by the work of University of Sydney Professor Lauren Johnston. The distinction between drugs recognized by the medical community and ‘health foods’, traditional remedies, and pure quack products is often blurred by false advertising, lobbying to persuade legislators to protect some categories of food…

Imagine the soul of the earth gives you god-like magic to save the planet from a climate apocalypse and you just hard focus on doing necromancy with it lmao. Imagine being handed the keys to life just to close off the door and declare that you conquered death. Imagine putting the embodiment of all life in a tomb and calling her an apocalypse to come. Incredible loser behaviour tbh.

sorry if youve been asked this already or anything, but is there going to be like. a time limit or anything on Getting Magpie’d?

no time limit :) if you check in and see that the comm is closed, it just means a temporary unavailability while i’m getting through the backlog, so absolutely feel free to check later or even shoot me a message on ko-fi and i’ll get back to you when it’s open again. i’m enjoying doing these, so i see no reason in making it a limited time offer :)

Hey if you have downloaded the Scarland Artbook i think you should read the text about marketing on page 154 and think about the laws of supply and demand

Sometimes I feel a bit at odds with LoZ fandom, but only because of how old it is and how much it's constantly changing.

I generally love to engage with the lore, and I love to play with the characters and setting...But good god is it exhausting.

I genuinely feel like my exposure to OOT and WW early on as my only point of reference for years have greatly shaped the way I look at games as a whole...So at times it can be super frustrating to communicate with fans who jumped on between the SS and BOTW era.

There are unique generational gaps in this fandom that I haven't observed before in other spaces. In part because playing older LoZ titles is just not possible for a large portion of new fans, but also because LoZ has always had a "current" game that doesn't require the player to have knowledge of previous games.

Each game can be a stand alone as much as they can be a piece of a larger picture.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately as totk draws closer and closer. It's impossible not to run into a popular theory or a speculation that I find incredibly misplaced. And even harder to remember that the basis for these theories comes from the lack of exposure to the rest of the series.

I feel like SS takes up waaaay too much space when it comes to current lore. But also when it's one of the only other newer LoZ games playable on modern consoles for the last 10+ years, it's only natural that it would.

HD remakes and reboots are great, Nintendo needs to be releasing the entire LoZ franchise for switch like yesterday.

I see so many ppl talk about Ganondorf incorrectly or from a post SS point of reference...but really I am just begging y'all to play WW....preferably immediately after OOT as a sequel if you can. (not TP, because he really was 2 dimensional and bland in that game. Even if he is daddy to me.)

Nothing more frustrating than having a dream set in an amazing book series and then waking up to find out it doesn’t exist. Guess I’VE gotta write this now

Yes, Universal Basic Income. But Universal Basic Sustenance and Universal Basic Housing first. Otherwise, a Universal Basic Income very quickly becomes Universal Basic Business Subsidy

smth interesting abt trigun is how SO many of the villains' motivations (at least initially) are money/scarcity-based. which makes sense since the protagonist is being hunted for a bounty but to me it sends this message that all this conflict is ultimately preventable. if people weren't desperate and violence weren't profitable none of this would be happening

I use etsy a lot to buy hand embroidery patterns from artists so it always amuses me when I load it up and get a notification that something on my wish list is running low and it's a pdf downloadable pattern.
