Shitty Emperor Belos aesthetic: due to my dedication to objective journalistic integrity, absolutely no editorialising went into the making of this aesthetic. :)

i humbly request some pre-observer block BUD tech info dumping, if you're up for it!

THIS is one topic i'm not as suuuuper familiar with because I did not touch redstone much until after observers were already a Thing, but I know a fair amount still

To recap for anyone unfamiliar with the terminology, "BUD" stands for "block update detector", they're a rather niche part of redstone that is hardly ever used these days due to the existence of observer blocks, but were quite useful back in the day. It's considered a bug, but it's one of the many "useful bugs" in the game mechanics that was never fixed because there wouldn't be a satisfying way to introduce the same sort of game mechanic in a "non-buggy" way. Essentially, if a block is "BUD-powered", it means that it is technically powered by redstone, but the block doesn't know it's redstone-powered until it receives any kind of block update. Thus, block update detector. It's useful for more than just detecting block updates, too, but I'm not sure that I can get into the specifics without reeeally digging deep.

Some lesser-known background on BUD switches: The reason "BUD switches" were ever a thing in the game at all? Doors. Back in the day, when they introduced doors, mojang wanted them to interact with redstone, but because they're technically comprised of two blocks, they just couldn't get it to work unless you specifically gave a redstone signal to the bottom part of the door. The hacky workaround solution they had was to just make the top half of the door open anyways, causing a block update, which would then inform the lower half of the door "hey, you're actually being powered by redstone!", so it could open too. This was never limited to just doors though, and thus it became an intrinsic part of redstone mechanics which could cause a lot of accidents, but also a lot of innovations when utilized intentionally.

I wish I could tell more about just how BUD power was utilized in the older days of mc redstone, but it's been a long time since I delved into technical minecraft stuff, and even longer since BUD-switches were ubiquitous! One thing I can say is; if you've ever messed around with pistons, you've probably experienced bud power yourself, and wondered, "why the heck is that piston getting powered..."

@lapisbuchananlazuli replied to your post: things that are scarier when fast: zombies...

i’d argue also computer glitches are scarier when they’re slower. theres nothing more terrifying than seeing your computer get screwed over right before your eyes and not being able to do anything about it, especially when the shit it’s saying starts coming through the speakers in a slow as molasses microsoft sam voice even when you unplug the speakers.

i STRONGLY agree with this and i think that the reason why this works is because part of the horror of a thing being slow is that it’s inevitable in some way. not simply out of your control because like, a murderer with a big knife is also out of one’s control, but they are less scary when slow. i mean existentially inevitable, like you have all the time in the world to react but you still can’t change anything about it. also one time i dropped a wooden horse model on my old laptop and the screen turned into this weird interlacing pattern of purple and yellow pixels and it made a noise i can only describe as screaming

I didn't see any frogs but when I was visiting my aunts' little slice of paradise in the middle of nowhere, I heard two frogs singing to each other one night. just barely audible under the crickets. one would go, then the other, with a brief overlap in between.

N’awwwwww! ♥ 

Do you think they were lovers? Or just friends keeping eachother company?

🤝 as a mx tumblr tumblr sexyman kinnie, it's been an honor to compete with you, mx twitter tumblr sexyman. and by being a hunter kinnie who has influenced the belos aesthetic, i am winning twice. :3c

y'know, really shortly before th belos reveal, i got a request about philip. an i held off on it, cuz i had a feelin deep in my stomach that i would regret makin it based on th information i currently had, an then one day it literally jus disappeared from my inbox cuz tumblr is not a functional website. bu i think about that anon a lot. i wonder if they've done any swift pivotin or if they saw this comin all along.

anyway mx. palmer it truly was an honour an a delight. enjoy yer crown. it was very well deserved. never call me a twitter sexyman again i'll die

lapisbuchananlazuli replied to your post: “Both The Dales and Ferelden need a National Personification. (And, no,...”:

ferelden's can't be a dog, okay, so it can be ALL THE DOGS. every last dog.

LOLOLOL

Andraste’s dog can be like the American eagle. But no, they need a real personification.

a good thing to remember about hydration is that even if you feel hydrated, if your pee is still yellow or yellowish, you're not hydrated enough!

I’ve heard light yellow is the ideal. Clear is a bit too much water! But yeah that’s an easy way to check!

congrats on your upcoming wedding!!!!
