y'all know that one spiderman and deadpool panel? Yeah, that's Chen and River's post-reveal dynamic. Sidestep has become 20x more insuferable.

Rules: Pick four of your favourite characters from four pieces of media and let your Tumblr people decide which one most suits your vibe.

tagging @andrewblur @bidisasterevankinard @r0ryy @shyaudacity @eddiediaaz @turgite and anyone else who would like to do this!

I can fix him*

*bad writing, underutilized gameplay mechanics, characters with unfulfilled potential, funded by bootlickers

#ra speaks #personal #sorry I made dr phone calls and have like. ten minutes til I gotta get ready for first class of the semester. let me have this.#I think I should get every COD game ever for free. it’s MY tax dollars at work after all (actually anything produced w us military funding #should be free I think I can trap even my bootlicker tax hating dad into getting onboard w this one)#anyways. ghosts was…decent. but jfc if you give me a silent protag I expect SOME self awareness in the writing.#why are characters calling to him on comms when they know he won’t respond? why doesn’t he have an AAC device or something more futuristic?#I’m just saying if you explicitly limit a character you need to respect those limits in te writing. it’s not that hard.#like non of the characters even acknowledge that Logan never talks. esp weird when he first meets the ghosts #also. obv not a big fan of ‘all of South America has United into evil space terrorists’ but it was 2013 so ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#wish we got to see some SDC civis y’know? get a bear on the average attitudes abt the whole. invading the US thing.#(jfc do not get me started on The Wall like this is a 2016 trump voter’s power fantasy)#also Riley was such an interesting mechanic why couldn’t they have at least substituted him w drones or something on the other missions??#you get him for like. two missions. and then he gets shot and you have to protect him (gosh I actually loved that section)#just. it was clear Logan was The Dog Guy with an aptitude for tech. honestly Hesh felt more like the MC than Logan.#and while Logan doesn’t have a ton of personality we can glean as a result of non speaking + ZERO communication at all ever #seriously he doesn’t even like. wave or give thumbs up to people wtf dude do ppl just assume he’s psychic or something???#I do LOVE the few scenes we get with him acting outside of player control/where he actually has agency (Elias’ death. the final cutscene)#and like it’s not much but it’s enough that I WANT to see what happens next #but alas. a decade old game without a true sequel (I think??? haven’t actually looked into it.)#my brother is making fun of me for being a COD gamer now like boy. I have no defense pls be nice to me T-T

#long talk in tags incoming i guess #i don't understand why people keep following me when everything i do is complaining lately #and not about dnp per se. but about how the work is done and how their team *coughs* martyn *coughs* is handling stuff #i'm just looking at all this mess and i can't agree with basically anything #everything goes against my beliefs when it comes to work organisation. customer focus and etc.#and i'm trying SO hard to mildly help for free. and i'm just getting ignored. but that's like.. basic fixing and shit #any decent company would do it and say thank you for noticing and letting us know #but not irl merch lmao #and it all feels and looks like a massive joke #and i'm so so tired to basically pay for existence of this mess #i'm rethinking a lot of tour related decisions i made. and i know the reason i made them was about travelling more than the show itself #so i don't completely regret it #i'm just so tired of being spat in the face (figuratively speaking) over and over again #and tired of no one taking their job seriously ffs #neither martyn nor dnp nor their fucking editors #and i'm doing all that not for attention or whatever. but because I really care for the words to be correct and for the fucking text..#.. to be in the middle. like idc about the credit or WHO i need to ask for it to be fixed. i just want it to be fixed #so it looks good and how it should look #like. it's not that hard to put a little care into the things you do and getting paid for #I don't understand how it became so normalized. how being a bad manager is okay if you work with a fanbase and you're a 'small company'#a small company who has more than enough money to hire people to check things btw. if only anyone cared #i'm just so so tired of caring. because apparently it's not something everyone else does.#and i can let it slide when it comes to dnp. they are not being literally hired to do it. but others..... yeah #today was a moment when i thought 'that's a perfect opportunity to leave. enough.'#but the tour is in 1.5 months and i have tickets so i can't leave lmao #what kind of joke that is? oh and i know i'm fully responsible for this mild breakdown #personal

see the thing is i never had any problem getting used to immature adults at uni because i've lived and interacted with immature adults my entire life <3

#delete later #like why is it so hard #to be a decent fucking adult #and i'm not talking quirky nerdy or whatever #i'm talking there's not an OUNCE of emotional maturity in this family #everyone takes shit personally and holds grudges and has the emotional maturity of a 7 year old

After my last few writing classes that made me want to change my minor completely, I am absolutely in love with my classes this semester.

Like I am getting fantastic feedback from my professors! I'm excited about the projects! For once in my life I'm like "oh shit, maybe I don't suck too much!" lol

Keep writing kids. 🫡

#it's just the little things that make it worth it #intro to writing classes suck ass and I understand the importance of them #but when you have shitty professors man it makes it hard #it was like pulling teeth to get some sort of feedback previously #but yeah great ones this time around #I hope this momentum lasts...#it's so stupid why I lack confidence... in high school I always had decent praise for playwrights and creative stories #but I always think I've either peaked or maybe I've burnt out and can't do anything anymore...idk #I'm also just like wow alright I'm not stagnant like I thought I was and I'm still continuing to improve in the right direction #personal #writing

Shinichi

Shiho

Yusaku

Yukiko

The brunette to her cherry blonde.

You can not convince me that Shinichi's eyesight is still 20/20 after all that strain (fireworks (where he was so up close I'm surprised he wasn't burnt), flash bombs, and straining to see in the dark then suddenly having huge headlights pointed at you. Did I say bombs?). The explosions that happen in his vicinity –mind you, he's usually at the heart of them–almost daily must have had some sort of aftereffect on his eyes and ears, no matter how small.

In conclusion, I AM AT YOUR DOOR AOYAMA, OPEN UP. YOU CANNOT DO THIS AND THEN PRETEND THESE PARALLELS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU WHILE YOU GO ON ABOUT SO CALLED TRUE LOVE. 'Shinshi is never going to happen-' I WON'T HEAR IT, ESPECIALLY NOT FROM YOU, AOYAMA.

#I'm so bitter #Ran can do so much better #Eisuke is right THERE #PLEASE RAN YOU GUYS ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER GIVE IT A CHANCE #You can bond over martial arts and having absent people in your life that you desperate wish to see again #and you can fight me but Eisuke's personality is perfect for Ran. Another thing about shinran is that #they would've never looked twice at each other in the first place if they hadn't known each other since kindergarten #Shinichi literally had no other friends so I can see why he loves Ran. I think she was the only decent girl he knew #And with how nice and pretty she is ig it's not to hard to feel some puppy love. Aoyama overdoes it x10 because Shinichi #Is too infatuated with someone he can barely hold proper conversation with. It's mostly either him monologuing #about Sherlock Holmes or her talking about whatever she talks about. Either way they're both uninterested.#saff-ron tag #dcmk posting #dcmk #Dcmk rant #If aoyama wants to add romance and make it an insufferable plot point in the show that is too essential to the MC's overall motives then #Please. At least do it right. Give them a reason to like each other that isn't 'she's so nice' 'he's so dependable' and vice versa #Give them common interests that they can actually bond over. Make their banter not seem so... I don't know how to describe it #but 'unnatural' is the only way that comes to mind. You don't go around kicking a Chūya wannabe (watch the first episode.)#only to get mad when your skirt flips up and then blame him when it lands on his head. Girl. Wear. Shorts. Also.#you don't go around making jokes about your friend's dad and how bad he is at his job that you just so happen to be better at than him #You also don't go around destroying public property because your friend was being an asshole. Punch him. Not the public property.#This is only. like. two minutes of the episode but trust me I have too much to be angry about when it comes to their damned 'romance'

again, sorry for being so slow to get to asks, editing this film is making me genuinely want to die, things keep going wrong and I want it out of my site

#I got an extension because i got locked out of my editing room due to a faulty fucking lock #and all my stuff was inside so i had to stay on campus overnight with nothing but my phone and fucking toiletries bag #i was locked out from 10:30pm to 1:30pm the next day and i was still expected to edit #the audio i got was shit because the sound department art fucking hacks and didn't mount the mic #our director is a misogynistic idiot who didn't bother to record room tone #my fucking ex somehow got involved with the production so i have to edit around his shit acting #our cinematographer keeps hounding me to submit it #to a fucking film festival because she shot it relatively decently #BUT EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT IS TRASH why would you want to show that publically?#which btw our idiot director thinks we got personally invited to show our film at a screening... it was a general email sent to the whole #student body and i had to spend 5 minutes explaining that to him #men keep giving me 'advice' which is literally common knowledge like keep your levels between -21 and -6dB #which is wrong by the way #and all of this is happening a week after one of the worst shoots of my life that went so astronomically bad me and the other producers #are now doing damage control and setting up a meeting with the director to explain that you can't treat people like shit on set you're not #stanley fucking kubric autour theory is over and we want money out of his pocket for how we were treated #oh yeah and my fucking sex addiction is acting up which is making it really fucking hard to get shit done

People when you don’t find some crappy comedian’s shock comedy about assaulting women funny: 😤😤

#beef #beef netflix #I can take dark humor from a friend or a celebrity who has proved in one way or another to be a decent person #but describing a detailed story of how you assaulted someone and then going back to say it was a joke #like how tf does that work #why would you even say joke that makes yourself out to be a god awful person and then be surprised when people start hating you #it would make more sense if he made himself the victim #not that that is any better #buts it’s just weird to make yourself out to be the perpetrator in a so called fabricated story like that #it’s his delivery of the joke that’s making people mad #he delivered it in a way that’s hard to tell of its a real story or not #he delivered it as if he purposely wanted to make people uncomfortable and get people angry at him #if it’s a joke then he wanted to get a rise out of people #which still at the end of the day makes him a crappy person in my book personally

A few times a year I get the urge to learn basically every language ever and then I give up because I get too ambitious. So my new rule is I’m never allowed to not be learning a language. I have to do at least one language lesson per day for the rest of my life

#i’ve been learning italian since december #i feel like i know greetings and pleasantries really well and i have a decent grasp of pronunciation #(i know a little french and spanish so the sounds aren’t unfamiliar to me)#i can string together basic sentences on a few everyday subjects and would feel confident ordering food or doing basic shopping in italian #i don’t think i could do more than that and would probably fall to pieces if someone said a word i didn’t know #definitely i have no business picking up another language when i’m still so far of where i want to be in italian since i’m not understandin #media i consume in the language; wouldn’t feel able to converse at length in the language etc #so tell me why i picked up greek this past week #i’m trying to prioritise italian so right now i’m just focusing on the greek alphabet and learning to read greek #since i have a really hard time learning new alphabets and i don’t feel comfortable proceeding until i can break down a word and read it #i would say i can recognise the entire greek alphabet but i don’t have all the sounds and names memorised and can’t really read yet #so tell me why i want to pick up welsh #i know bore da. prynhawn da. ellen dw i. draig #i’m 1/4 welsh so i would like to learn at some point #my levels of french and spanish are about the same as my italian but rustier since it’s been a while #i have vague plans of improving them but not any time in the near future #so what i’m thinking is i try to learn 3 languages at once. i mean why not right #people do this. i think?#i saw about this kid whose dad is trying to teach him about a hundred languages and he did a video in some of them #and people were saying most of them were pretty terrible but there were a few (german; japanese; native language of tamil) were pretty good #so that proves you can maybe do this?#idk. girl i’m really high don’t ask me #personal

things-- i.e., life in general, etc.-- would be a lot easier if i could manage being reliable with things below my top three priorities.

#neither here nor there #eg [redacted] and food and sleep #if i was reliable with friends that would make life a lottttttt nicer #if i were reliable with household chores life would be a lot easier but NOPE #and thats not changing anytime soon as far as i can tell. so.#wheeeeeee #fightinf the brainworms calling me useless :3 #im half-decent at fighting brainworms but it's still hard #edit #also i think i made a new friend and im trying really hard not to hyperfixate on him-#got a little too familiar too fast and now im ignoring my normal boundaries #well. not ignoring. i have them for a reason. im catching all the oversharing and Keeping It Inside so i dont scare him off #but brooooooo why is he In My Thoughts Always. like a blorbo. real people i know are not blorbos.#this is. distressing. how do i avoid a hyperfixation on an actual person. i usually dont get like this #i dont like this. why cant i be normal about People Being Nice To Me

wild how addicted i am to nuzlocking now lol i expect this period will abruptly end at some point in the future but i was like "lemme just finish inclement emerald so I can drop this fixation and do other things" ... then promptly started renegade platinum instead of doin anything else.

sidenote after radical red (and to a lesser extent, inclement emerald), all other games feel like torture for nuzlocking. it's absurd how much time proper level grinding takes without infinite rare candies/auto cap function. like there are tons of other great QOL features i got spoiled by in those roms (especially radred) and I know renegade platinum is a good bit older so it makes sense that it's different. but i'm like i surely hope everyone who makes romhacks now just makes at least an optional setting for infinite candies and infinite repels at the bare minimum. those features alone make the game feel so much better.

#personally i also realllly really liked the ability to turn off EVS #as well as a toggle to automatically get supplied with farmable items #as well as infinite move relearns/nature changes #however I can recognize that some hacks are purposefully designed around stuff like nature changes and iv changes being a limited resource #so i don't mind those being left out purposefully #but RR minimal grinding mode just made me go like #'oh yeah i could see myself nuzlocking hard games if it's like THIS'#it lets you get down to the actual DIFFICULTY of strategy #and not just lose to things like not being leveled enough or taking the time to meticulously EV train #which takes AGES for you to do but all the enemy trainers have perfect spreads #anyways it's funny that renplat still has good QOL over base games #like 'infinite' TMS #but i'm also aghast at the amount of level grinding i've had to do even just around the first 2 gyms #i'm like ok if you don't give me access to fast training methods until a little bit into the game alright #but there's not even that many TRAINERS to fight yet #i've had to do so much wild battling just to keep a decent number of pokemon on pace with the boss/miniboss trainers #it's an absurd waste of time #i know i could use a cheat to get candies in but #i've always had issues getting action replay cheats to work with my emulator #like sometimes they do but sometimes not and i hate the tedium of trying it till it works #so thats why i was trying this first run without candies #bc i see that there's apparently a training 'solution' in solaceon town #but now i'm like my god. how much more grinding do i need to do before i get there #pokemon sp #d

One of my neighbours has dumped a bunch of bags of rubbish against the wall between my gate and someone else's. I am pretty sure it's the same people who put a plastic bag of stuff directly by my gate on Sunday, which I've had to get rid of myself

I'm decently sure I know who it is. I'm decently sure it's the family of the woman I met a couple days ago who quickly said "no" and changed the subject when I asked if the bag was hers. I'm decently sure that the only reason the new bags aren't directly beside my gate is because I was polite and checked on her cat

REALLY hoping the bin men take the bags so I don't have to report fly tipping. Worst comes to worst I have the number, and will mention to the estate agents that a neighbour (don't know for certain who) is leaving rubbish around

Being an adult sucks

#delete later #being an adult is also great but. fuck me its annoying. shit just happens and you have to deal with it. thats hard #also turns out the water meter person is coming tomorrow. same day I've got a flat inspection. so thats great.#screams #just gotta get through this week. just gotta get to the weekend #she mentioned she and the previous tenant for this place didn't get along. i have a feeling shr wasjt aware and that's why there's been #litter and that bag left by my gate. hopefully it won't happen again. im a polite person so tend to make a decent impression on neighbours #we'll see

Fucking...

Oof.

#im dying at these reactions #these theories #it looks all... very... 'wrong puzzle piece'- ish to me #im dying they really said STRIP THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER WE'RE REBUILDING IT FROM THE GROUND UP #oh bud. oh hon #that's rough buddy (im trying really hard not to make a joke here. biting my tongue so fucking hard-)#on one hand yay eddie go getcho kid and work on that #even though it kinda stands in complete...opposition to last episode but then again do any of the episodes this season actually go together #dont get me started on the whole timeline thing Im just-#what is actually going on this season?#they really do be directing all and any resources to the spin-off #like where-what are these actual storylines my guy?#does anyone actually know anymore?#also question; why does the hot shots storyline have more weight than literally any other?#gerrard storyline? resolved after like two episodes #ortiz ordeal dealt with in one half of an episode #these were supposed to be decently big storylines no?#i mean the only storyline that kind of has decent pacing is Eddie and Chris? but even now it feels a bit rushed?#idfk anymore man #idk #im not even mad about the bucktommy thing anymore Im just kind of...sitting here with major whiplash #cause I really dont know where we're going anymore.#this is the consequence of having a really good last season and dropping the ball the next.#oh god it's house md all over again.#how much you wanna bet the 'new' person they bring in is Lucy #my only evidence being that one interview where Oliver was like #'Yeah i really wanna see buck explore these queer spaces maybe with someone like Lucy'#like okay sure gimme fucking Lucy back but thats so off base because Arielle Kebbel was/is shooting the other Hawaiian rescue show #so.#it really does feel like a strip down of the show possibly to rebuild possibly to just gut it so the spin-off does well

This is one of those things where the discourse is just completely broken. Both of these takes are shit and no one is concerned about the actual problem.

Republicans want to bring back incandescents because they just want to trigger the libs and have decided light bulbs are woke.

And the "LEDs are fine" crowd are throwing people with flicker sensitivities under the bus. And, no, you don't have to be "pretty far on the spectrum" to notice a difference. And even if you did... why in the world is this person so dismissive of the millions of autistic folks?

LEDs, for the most part, are superior to incandescent bulbs. Collectively they save people billions of dollars in energy costs and greatly reduce fossil fuel use. You have more options for color and brightness. You can control them with your phone. LEDs are fantastic.

Unfortunately there is a design flaw that makes LEDs hard to use for certain people. Due to AC power, most LEDs have a 60hz refresh rate. Meaning they turn off and on 60 times per second. With incandescents this didn't matter because the filament didn't have time to lose its glow between cycles.

Most people cannot see this flicker in LEDs. But there are millions of people who are sensitive to it and it can cause migraines and discomfort.

The solution is definitely not to go back to incandescents. There are flicker free LEDs and I think with some regulation we could make sure all LEDs are flicker free or at least make sure flicker free bulbs are easy to find and not priced at a premium.

Thankfully there is a group testing bulbs to find the ones that will most likely cause no discomfort. They call themselves the Flicker Alliance and their website has a pretty decent selection of tested and approved bulbs.

So if you feel like your LED bulbs might be causing you distress, that is a good resource to try. I think there is also something you can do to make sure the LED drivers are using DC power, but I haven't really looked into that.
