“Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles—is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.”
David Foster Wallace, This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

Akabaka does not have a favorite character from SFL Date to Die For. He loves his children equally.
I, however, DO.
Look at my boy~ Amazing.
The VA, Justice Washington, was so compelling. I feel like I should do a supercut of streamers reacting to Buck's voice for the first time
(I am a pathological villain supporter)

Bg3 hitting the "actually this game is bad" part of the hype cycle more than like half a year after it released is so fucking funny to me. Usually it only takes like a month or 2 for people to start overanalyzing the fuck out of a good game and convince themselves it's actually shit but the fact the game is so big and dynamic that it took this long is impressive
#not to say a decent amount of the criticism is unwarranted#the game has flaws and could definitely be improved#but saying larian doesnt care or did a bad job is fucking nuts to me#also bg3 is an indie game (granted a very high budget and high profile one)#thats what makes bg3 such an impressive achievement

btw gamedev accessibility check speedrun tactic is just have every element use at least two senses. i also think of it as the nirnroot test, specifically because of the plant in Skyrim that glows and makes a weird noise at you so you can locate it.
often, because these are games, that will be "sight" and "sound", but with things like controller rumble it can also include "touch". most games do not include "taste" and "smell", but to the devs out there inevitably working on that, you have my respect.
anyways. the multi-sense check is basically:
if something is only present as an audio cue, like a sound effect in a certain direction, add a visual effect / cue or captions that include a directional indicator. if all dialogue is spoken, try to include subtitles (even better if you have various font sizes, or light and dark mode toggles).
if something is only present as a visual cue, like an item you can interact with being a different color, add an audio effect like a sound that plays when you're touching an interactive object. if all dialogue is written, try and include text to speech options, voice actors (a big ask, I know) or compatibility with screen readers.
it doesn't cover every situation (toggles for flashing, snow / rain / particle effects, high pitched noises, etc for example only affect one sense) but if you're really lost on where to start with making your work accessible. well. it's a start!
#patch me through to palaven command#typing it out feels like im talking down about it because its just. really that simple. but SO few games actually check for it#i can understand a solo indie project not having a full va roster obviously but some of these things should be common sense. and yet#if your game is less accessible than nirnroot there's room for improvement.#accessibility#disability#gamedev

that 1billion project is such a poor idea and the way that it’s being run feels so sinister to me sometimes…
the fact that they (armys) started it after like crazy got 1B...
Oh, absolutely. They couldn’t even let 24 hours pass after LC hit 1billion before they started on this project, like they were in a hurry to co-opt the energy for LC and have it distributed to the other members. And I think that’s because there’s a good section of ARMYs who genuinely can’t comprehend the fact that Jimin has a really large solo fanbase (I don’t even mean just solos, just anyone who casually listens to his music). I’m not sure why they thought the energy for LC would suddenly transfer to this 1billion project when overall ARMYs have just been losing energy as time goes on in CH2.
They could have started this project anytime during CH2 or after Seven hit 1billion but they literally waited until the day that LC hit that achievement because imo it feels like so many of them use Jimin and his achievements as the goal-post for the entire group.
It’s like, why are they choosing to update that 1billion projection chart suddenly during Jimin’s comeback, knowing how the quotes/comments would just be full of people being vile. IIRC they did this during SGMB too, where they literally started pushing the 1billion project hard after it had been quiet for a few weeks. They even did it during SGMB’s 1st tracking week. I understand pushing some SGMB x 1billion goal focused playlists, but why entirely try to divert the attention from a NEW song if you’re actually OT7?
Like I said, they suddenly see a lot of energy on the timeline because Jimin is releasing music and they try to co-opt it to get people to push for other members too. And I understand to a point because they just think that this is the fandom being energized, let’s take advantage of it to boost the members that need a push, but… this is solo era. And the excitement and energy for Jimin’s music is because… people are excited for Jimin’s music. There’s just something off to me about trying to use the hype for Jimin, created by Jimin (because of his consistency with releasing music that resonates with the fandom and having engaging performances) and using it for other members.
Especially when doing so has led to so much nasty discourse being AIMED at Jimin, as if all the western stans and kpop stans and akgaes and shippers going after him nonstop every day wasn't already enough. And that’s why I side-eye the main people doing this, because they should know that by pushing this project in the way that they are, it just brings hatred towards two members specifically, and in particular Jimin when it’s during his comeback. Is it really worth it, instead of just setting more manageable goals for HL and using positivity and small improvements over time to encourage ARMYs instead? Isn’t that more practical to begin with?
Mind you, I know the reason that this is being pushed so hard by some ARMYs in particular is because they want the BTS members to get the achievement of “all members of a group with one solo song reaching 1billion” before the BP members do, and that’s just… so dumb imo.
Anyways sorry this got away from me, this 1billion thing is just really driving me up a wall lately for a lot of different reasons. And I want to specify I'm talking about some of the organizers and main people behind this project and not ARMYs at large (and ANOTHER disclaimer I don't think everyone organizing/pushing this project has bad intentions).
And ofc I wish we could do better for RL, but I feel like there are SO MANY different projects we could be doing instead of whatever this is, which imo is just so counterproductive and just brings hate towards Jikook, and especially Jimin considering they keep doing this during his comebacks.
#ask#jimin#discourse#fandom#and im saying this as someone who has rpwp as their#favorite album of CH2#but maybe because i like indie/alternative music so much#i know that the numbers for those genres#will never be as high as pop#it is what it is#there are better ways to improve streams for rl#sorry for negativity#back to hyping MUSE & AYS 🫡

2024 vs 2021
I always attempt to do this as fast as I can, as loose as I can, without references. As you can see, the first four attempts (from three years ago, haha) I gave up including Ro'onui entirely, because I couldn't manage the perspective/anatomy involved without a reference.
anyway none of these pieces are finished/polished, but it's wild to see that my "unfinished" work now can pass as complete!

Out of curiosity I checked out how many matches a month Takeshita had in DDT. In 2019 he wrestled 10 matches a month.
In the last five months in AEW he wrestled four matches a month and half of those weren't for AEW.
I can understand this rate if you're going on 40, and you already spent years working something like a DDT or WWE schedule (in WWE without injury it's 16, 17, 18 matches a month!), but in AEW, without houses shows, with you being lucky to have a match a week at all between three TV shows and ROH, AEW is a graveyard for young wrestlers.
#you have the old talent who learned their craft somewhere else#and you got the young and indie grown talent that's never going to improve and never going to get over with that kind of competition

Song: Waterfall
"All these flowers talk about are stars this, stars that."
"..."
"Ok, maybe I would like to see them too..."
Day 15 brings a redraw of a veryyyy old piece, I can't remember exactly when I drew this one last. 2021? 2022? Maybe 2021, hard to say. A mix of my fav from Undertale and favorite location :D listening to Waterfall on loop while making this brought over more nostalgia than I anticipated.
Oh and here's the original pic from a long while ago:
I think I improved!
