#things that made me lmao

thing im laughing an unreasonable amount at today:

(prepare for me being an absolute nerd for bit)

The Scunthorpe problem/ the 'clbuttic' mistake

Both things that have to deal with auto censoring and properly coding them.

The scunthorpe problem - named after a town called scunthorpe that was having trouble with profanity filters due to it containing the word "cunt". some filters arent programmed properly for this kind of thing and will either censor or outright replace offensive terms with a different one.

Which brings us to the hilarious world of 'clbuttics'. when offensive material is found, some programs dont check for context, (such as the surrounding characters to make sure its not in the middle of a word) and will accidentally change other words (sometimes in hilarious ways)

thats where the name clbuttic comes from, as its what happens when a filter set to change all instances of 'ass' to 'butt' without checking for context and mistakenly catching the word cl(ass)ic to cl(butt)ic

More funny examples include (ass)ignment to (butt)ignment, (ass)(ass)inate to (butt)(butt)inate and sometimes even just words changed for localization reasons, such as occu(pants) to occu(trousers)

It's not actually that hard avoid this kind of thing most times.

it really is easy and if i got a refresher on coding i'd be able to do it but uhhh its been a few months and i dont remember a ton tbh ._.

“Yeah, so like I’m actually a trans man! Uh, I finally worked up the courage to tell you, so yeah…”

“Ewww… why would anyone choose to be a man? KAM! Like you have the choice to be a WOMAN and you CHOSE to be a man?????”

“Huh? You’ve always said you’re a trans ally. Some of our other friends are trans. Why would you-”

“Are you trying to say I’m transphobic? I acknowledged that you’re a man!”

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

idia’s simultaneous call-out and self-reflection while also still being directed at rollo hits really hard man 😭

like he's not just talking to rollo, he is also acknowledging his own feelings especially with the whole book 6 debacle

decided to join in on @quezify’s eggtober again this year as a little art warmup and I actually ended up really enjoying it!! it’s obviously way outside of my usual comfort zone so I’m very happy that I was able to create an end result that I’m proud of :)
