Thanks to the whims of the algorithm, I have discovered that ocular prosthetics are a thing, and they can look a whole ton of different ways, and it's COOL AS HELL.

Is there a better feeling than taking a chance on a random YouTube video and bot only enjoying it, but going theoguhbtheir channel and finding a huge backlog of videos you're excited to watch?

y'all wanted pvp enabled on tumblr, I think that's exactly what this awful new note preview feature is because it's really making me want to fight people

#square up #real talk I see why they might've added it #because it (1) can show you important reblogs or additions and (2) may increase engagement #unfortunately that (2) is sort of based in how other sites increase engagement #showing you things you engage with even if that engagement is driven by you being super pissed at it!#given this website's delightfully bad algorithm I suspect it's just showing the most popular reblog? I hope? which again #could be good sometimes #but it's also ugly and distracting and I do not want all these random opinions on my dash :)#tumblr staff pls let us disable

Me: googling hyper-specific questions about video game mechanics

Google AI, crying: what are you fucking talking about nothing like that exists on the Internet

First search result: reddit thread with the exact answer to my question

#if google was a good site it would just show the results without their ai nonsense that only sometimes works #also glad they took reddit out of the algorithm but reddit is like the main source for video game info #considering ign and polygon always gotta make me read paragraphs of flavor text and scroll past three ads for a one sentence answer #sorry i want advice on inventory management in a 7 year old game

Aziraphale finally upgrades to a smartphone and

Crowley has an iPhone. Aziraphale knows Crowley has an iPhone. But he gets an Android device, because they're more customizable and he means to root the new phone anyway and install his own programs.

Of course this means Facetiming is now impossible.

The two angels, fallen and otherwise, have a very heated discussion about this incompatibility issue. Eventually there is a compromise and they both agree to install an additional messaging app in order to communicate by video chat. So Crowley is on Telegram, and Aziraphale is on Line.

Look, they're just going to have to meet in person...

#aziraphale #crowley #ineffable idiots #ineffable husbands #good omens #aziraphale would think of apps as programs #especially since he'll be programming #what like formal logic is hard?#aziraphale says while sipping his cocoa #and writing an algorithm that by all rights should run in double exponential time #(meaning it'll be sometime after the heat death of the universe before it's solved)#and yet it will work in polynomial time #again not hard my dears; eminently computable #i suppose i could have gotten it to work in logarithmic time but i got a bit lazy #and besides i have somewhere to go #aziraphale says as he puts in his coat to go meet crowley

random but just wanted to say that I think it’s really neat that you make your own versions of shiny Pokémon for your world, don’t see a lot of people do that. It’s just neat to see and fun to see how you change things up

Aaaaaa thank you! Most shinies I like a lot, but there are some that are just… egh. Mostly the ones that don’t change much. And there’s literally no reason not to change it later (I mean, look at Charizard, who they changed from purple/teal to black/red in Gen 3), but Game Freak won’t for some reason? And some of them they keep making worse???

Like, God, just look at shiny Pichu vs the non-shiny in the 3D stuff.

Holy shit dude, this is AWFUL. Where is my Pikachu-colored friend? QnQ Which one is even the shiny? Fuck if I know!

So I said, what I just change ALL of them, how about that?? So how about a palette cleanser? Inari world shiny Mudkip!

Modeled after a wildtype axolotl!

#munday ask #but it’s not munday tho #rant #long post #shiny exploration #mudkip #sorry for going off a bit there #sometimes gamefreak makes me so mad #we are past making shinies up with an algorithm #look what they did to poor pichu #and gholdengo and gengar and GARCHOMP #good god why

ok listen. i know hbomberguy said he doesnt wanna become the type of youtube who spends their time doing drama videos or ruining ppl careers but like. if somebody doesnt start doing crazy detailed research on ryan hall, yall then i will

#hbomberguy #meteorology #ryan hall yall #like his info is good and he generally seems like a good gug but theres. some weird stuff #*guy #the lack of clarity regarding his education #the giveaways #the almost unnecessarily high production quality #the way his mods behave during livestreams #(theyre biased when regulating politics they link weather.gov when ppl ask for forecasts but respond negatively when other meteorologists #are mentioned/linked etc)#occasional thoughtlessness (magenta polygons instead of red are more visible but they confuse ppl and studies say theyre less effective)#the fact they he claims to live in kentucky but said the us had very calm weather while there were wildfires throughout the south&appalachi #(also i could be forgetting but if i rmember right he mentioned the drought maybe twice until he retweeted that video from james spann)#the fact that he used to review vapes #the shady sponsorships and sometimes downright untrue info regarding those #the guilt tripping asking ppl to donate #like theres def good faith interpretations available #he himself says that theyre trying to reach as many ppl as possible w warnings so they have to play the YT algorithm game #but like. some of its looking kinda weird man

the amount of times i keep looking for niche shit by typing "[topic] reddit" so i can get it from actual humans during the reddit blackout protesting is endless

#rambles #my memory is actually so short term #anyways reddit is legit where i get most of my artist advice #not like the drawing shit #like the other stuff outside of it??#commission and job stuff yknow idfk #YouTube is nice and all but watching a video is sometimes a pain #and i just wanna read something and get it over with #also their recommendations on media are fucking fire #its not some repulsive shit like tiktok #recommendations on twitter or tumblr is slow word of mouth #i have to hope to find something good via algorithm on Twitter or reblogs on tumblr #and that rarely fucking happens

A tragedy that all the swifities at my camp hyped up chappel roan and played exclusively her music for 2 months and so now I think she’s overrated and dull.

#sorry we’ll see how she responds to fame and fortune and depending on that maybe I’ll like her again #I really went from barely hearing about her to having her and her music shoved down my throat I simply can’t enjoy any aspect of her sorry #so sorry so sorry. and I already feel alienatied from the white female experience so many pop singers idolize #I can put on glitter and cry too. I don’t know man I don’t know it’s so #she feels like she’s been created from a tiktok aesthetic algorithm #sorry that’s mean but that’s how I feel in my heart sorry #maybe she’s a good person idk #but it’s crazy cause all I’ve ever seen about her is just raving over the aesthetic. so even the appreciation of her feels superficial #no aspect of a personality shown on my dash beyond sad eyes and red hair and sometimes she’s wearing cool armour cosplay #very awesome. is there anything actually there

just saw tags from someone saying they "saw a completely empty blog that didn't even have public likes". we have Got to relearn and embrace internet anonymity. you can just do that, if you want.

sometimes people just like to look at things, maybe they DM others to socialise rather than talk publicly, maybe they don't talk at all.

#can we bring back the concept of ''lurker''#it's weird bc even tho I Do enjoy the function of reblogging to circulate posts -#on all the past popular blogging/art sites there was never a way to do that. people created art uploads or diary entries and others replied #and listen there's no way of saying this that doesn't sound like ''these lazy people today'' bc there's a good justification behind it #but improved suggestion algorithms really saw people's shrinking free time and took advantage of that #sometimes you have to seek things out yourself instead of it being recommended on your feed #''x community is so dead these days'' the tags look in the tags look in the tags there's posts in there

So I was feeling kinda depressed since my blog kinda dies when I’m focusing on my health and irl life, and character development, writing and art takes a lot of time to create something impressive and coherent.

so since I need notes for my blog to stay alive while I work on stuff i thought I’d make a cool sans au to show everyone on tumblr so I get thousands of notes and really cool fanart and get featured in tiktoks and stuff with my character.

Since this is all it takes to become famous in the undertale fandom I thought I’d just throw away all the research I’m doing and just go with what works yanno?

😳 maybe I’ll draw horny art of him next, that’ll reel in the notes.

#I wonder if you can tell that I made him up in less than five minutes #I’m a creative genius I know #give me an Oscar #This is mostly hj I’m just kinda frustrated by the on going trend of “overly complicated character design with little thought put into it-#Gets more attention than anyone else’s complex well thought out character”#I see so many amazing talented people on tumblr with the coolest characters and the coolest ideas and art that get so much less traction #than people who just like got famous after drawing one character in 2016 and now they have thousands of followers #I know tumblr has no algorithm but I admittedly get kinda sick of the apparent favouritism in the fandom. But maybe that’s just how it is #I guess if you post frequently enough you rule the world.#quality takes time #I wish I didn’t feel like I need to post art multiple times a week despite not having the time todo so #just so people will see my content and I’ll grow as a blog #i’ll never be good enough #no matter what I do #because I can’t draw as frequently and post with the tags people see the most #I try todo tumblr casually but it hurts because people won’t see me and get invested in my ideas because my ideas take time #I can’t get famous without posting I can’t post something that’ll be good enough if I don’t put the effort into it #I don’t know sometimes I feel isolated on here #everyone else has everything figured out.

#god theres someone i see on the tl sometimes and i dont wanna block them because i reserve that for like terfs and actually grim people #but GOD theyre so fucking negative and miserable all the time. about everything. i swear to god they could win the lottery and find a way t #complain about it. anyway i had to get this off my chest #into the queue it goes so that nobody can tell when i typed this #btw if you follow me its not about you this person doesnt follow me and i dont follow them #so if youre seeing this youre probably good unless tumblr creates an insane algorithm in the next X days
