[Id: News Article: "Ubisoft exec says gamers need to get comfortable with "not owning your games"

Ubisoft's director of subscriptions says that gamers need to start "feeling comfortable" with not owning the games they are playing"

Meme: "if purchase isn't ownership; then piracy isnt theft"]

The first time I saw that article, I said that if they're renting me games, I expect to be paying rental prices. But, now I'm thinking that Ubisoft maybe needs to feel comfortable with people not paying them at all.

The Art Block Cycle:

1: Commence creation of a dozen fan fictions

2: Develop art block

3: Realize you have art block

4: Be rendered completely unable to work on anything

6: Make a solid plan to get rid of the art block

7: Watch tv shows and movies to fight the art block

8: Watch tv shows and movies you haven't thought about in many moons

9: Fall in love with the characters all over again

10: Commence creation of a dozen more FRIGGIN FAN FICTIONS-

. . .

Trying a Tzeetch playthrough in Total Warhammer and, like-

no idea what the narrator/tutorial dude's deal is, but I do enjoy that he's apparently just textually totally amoral and happy to work with literal demons as much as anyone else

'peck out the eyes of a god to claim his sight for themself' is a great motivation for an oracle-demon.

Tzeetch's strategic level fuckery is real fun.

On the battlefield still adapting to having demons who can throw enough plasma to melt a swarm of charging marauders but will crumple like tissue paper is any of them actually connect.

Had a nice heart to heart with my sister that basically summed up that as soon as I stop needing to care for my grandparents we will need to start caring for our parents, and that I have zero mental boundaries set for what my handling threshold is.

You joke, but that is true. The "algorithm" is the collection of blogs followed. Every person has a unique set of "rules" (re: blogs) determining what they do and don't see, but it's not dictated by a singular, separate entity that happens to take input from the userbase at large; it's the natural byproduct of a multitude of entities which only pays attention to the userbase you have curated for yourself.

there is no tumblr algorithm except for the fact that if you put 5 hours of work into a post it will get 20 notes but if you put five minutes into a post with no tags that's completely nonsensical it'll get 10k.

me as a writer

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit

Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before

Can you believe I'm having to make this meme even after successfully finishing up taxes and applying to job

[scribefindegil]

being a writer leads to a genuinely helpful but also very stupid kind of mindfulness where you'll be having a sobbing breakdown or the worst anxiety attack of your life and think "okay, I really need to pay attention to how this feels. so I can incorporate it into my fanfiction."

Me at age 13, exhausted at school after staying up all night to read fanfic: I can’t wait until I’m an adult and I can stay up reading without any consequences!

Me, an adult, exhausted at work after staying up all night reading fanfic: Fuck.
