#nerdy shit

[justsheerfilth1]

So this weekend I am hosting a powerpoint night with some of my pals, and mines is essentially going to be an at home version of the dropout show "um, actually"

For those who dont know, um actually is a nerdy game show where the host reads out an ✨️ almost ✨️ accurate statement about nerdy pop culture ( i.e dungeons and dragons, game of thrones, futurama etc. ) And the contestants have to begin their answer with "um actually, ..." and point out what the statement should be and why.

I've already got a few down and will chuck in a couple Scottish themed questions to make it a bit more unique, but was wondering if any of my fellow nerds want to contribute with a fact/statement?

Tagging some loveable dorks that might want in on this nonsense @raccoonboywrites @latenightsimping @aphrogeneias @cutiecusp @stretchedoutonthegrass @thornsnvultures

And anyone ive not tagged is also welcome to join in!

Hey y’all, I’m doing a Thing™️. And it’s kind of scary! So if you want to help me out, come check out the nifty new website I’m making! It goes live TOMORROW, and I make nerdy stuff. If you’re feeling fancy, you could sign up for my newsletter, which I promise will be very fun and cool.

i wanna be the pretty emo girl but I'm stuck as the chubby lil guy that draws shitty lil adorable creatures and is adopted by the scary pretty emo girls as "the innocent one" of the friend group ;v; or I join a cult of fellow artists that draw cute lil fellas

i got the scene kid hair but I dress like I'm about to befriend someone's cottagecore aunt and her cat

why are all the young people in my family cool like my mom is a semi popular ao3 author my aunt has purple hair and is a theater kid and is about to open a art workshop thingy and the nonbinary sibling of my mom is just the average nerdy kid from the 2010s (hi I know you could be reading this since I forced you to follow me on Tumblr) and my dads ex girlfriend is just cool all around and I'm stuck as the traumatized dumpling that makes people laugh ;v;

im jealous

What's the biggest question you have about the future?

Will we ever understand the nature of consciousness?

I know it doesn’t look like much of a big question, but if we do, it mean someone worked hard enough and cared enough to do it. If we understand it will we be able to replicate or change it?

if we CAN change it will Criminals’ time in jail can be cut down if we can “change” the part in their consciousness that make that behavior happen?

Would changing it be morally right if it can undo mental disorders but as they are a part of the way a person thinks it is also a part of who they are forever changing them.

IDK I just find it very interesting

Thank you for the ask💕💕💕

Dude this might make some ppl mad but I'ma say it anyway... I LOVE FFXIV ok, but the community teeters on brain dead way too often! Let's examine some things the community has thrown fits about since i started playing this game

The LalaFell chair ( bc it looked like a highchair )

Xenos for clearing the dt dungeon as warrior by himself

The new savage dungeons are too easy

Healer is supposedly boring ( as a healer it's not freaking boring especially when your team is .. challenged )

Wuk Lamat n how much everyone hates her after complaining about how much sad is in shb and ew

NOW

the worst most talked about lately one is wuk Lamat the dawntrail mascot:

She's too corny

She's too happy

Her VA sucks

She's n every cutscene ( SHES THE FREAKING MASCOT OF COURSE SHES IN EVERY CUTSCENE! )

HERES the reality.

None of this shit is important.

Most of it is untrue and immature to raise so much whining about

Everyone said that shadow bringers and end Walker had so much sad n it n it was so unfair and depressing blah blah blah

So the devs gave you happy n your pisses?!

HERES THE REAL KICKER

I just discovered a quest in dawntrail literally called the corn servant that is cheesier by far than anything I saw n msq for dawntrail n yet everyone loves it

That is a complete double standard and totally stupid. Not saying there's anything wrong with the quest but for side quests to be allowed corn and not msq in a FINAL FANTASY game y'all are completely out out of line and making yourselves look dumber than the community is already looked at as. That is my ted talk.

As everyone is welcome to their opinion feel free to state it but keep it within youtube guidelines or mods and myself will not be disinclined to ban you and hurt your feelings if you can't be nice about it.

I had a linguistics class in college. (Wish I'd had more of them. 😌) I have to say, I geeked out when I first saw gyat used as slang. I feel like it evolved at the same time I was growing up. 🥹🤓

Everyday I’m puzzlin

[noahhawthorneauthor]

A while back a good friend of mine sent me a Tumblr post which inspired my next book idea. Historical fiction and archaeology are two of my greatest loves, and this just pushed me over the edge.

Fast forward to now. I've managed to get my hands on a copy of the book that inspired me, and many others, to find the gay along the way.

Six pages in, and I'm not disappointed.

Hey, you! Do you like nerdy programming shit? Do you like LucasArts’ adventure games? (circa 1990′s?) Did you grow up playing Humongous Entertainment games? Do you love the SCUMM system used for developing games and want to know more about their development? Do you like weird anecdotes about stupid programming jokes?

Then you might be interested in watching my dad’s interviews about his time as a programmer as one of the creators of the SCUMM system and lead programmer at Humongous Entertainment!

My dad is literally so cool you guys, I love him so much and he deserves so much more credit than he receives as one of the people who helped create the SCUMM system, to the point that he was up until recently listed as “And various others” on Wikipedia despite being the only major contributor not named, so I feel I have a duty as the reason he left the industry to be showing off how cool he is to the world.
