I try to reward people for sticking through the dumb bullshit parts of my songs with something cool

Nintendo Directs are honestly amazing, cause you'll watch them, see an announcement that's like "For the first time in 20 years, this beloved series makes its return! Schranpfenbörg Adventures 2: A New Schranpf Börgs HD Remake launches this fall, for the Nintendo Switch family of systems!", and it's a game that you've never seen before, never heard of before. But without fail, if you look up reactions to the Direct afterwards, you'll see plenty of people going "OMG IT'S FINALLY BACK 😭😭😭 SCHRANPFENBÖRG FANS EATING GOOD TONIGHT", and be all to eager to explain why the game/series is great and how to get started to anyone who thought the game seemed interesting.

Wheres that stupid Eminem meme

You know when someone goes "Oh, you're autistic? You should meet my buddy Ronathon he's autistic you'll love him he's great" and you meet him and he's the fucking worst

And I should clarify the point Im making is not "I'm *special* and *different* and *better*" it's "Autism is not a defining personality trait"

It’s like the same as “oh, you’re gay? You should meet my buddy ronathon he’s gay you’ll love him he’s great” or “oh, you’re Hispanic? You should meet my friend ronathon he’s Hispanic you’ll love him he’s great” or “oh you’re a woman? You should meet my friend ronatha she’s also a woman you’ll love her she’s great” and then they’re always totally different from you. Like, people like to go, oh I know two people with this same weird thing about them so that means they’re the same they should be friends, but that never works because your descriptors don’t define your personality and it’s super annoying that people do that.

This is a good addition but I need to add that I am Delighted you continued to use fake name I pulled from my butt. Like ah shit it’s Ronathan

congrats to Ronatha on her transition, even if she's still the worst

Adjusted value of Bees. Now that was a special one… because every item in the game had a minimum value, and a beehive was a container for bees, which each had a minimum value… which meant the moment one of your dwarves picked up a beehive, your entire fortress’ net worth skyrocketed… a value used in determining how powerful the foes that visit and try to murder you are.

Reblogging for the explanation of what “adjusted value of bees” actually means, because I know several folks following this blog have been wondering.

Okay but you’ve all forgotten the best Dwarf Fortress bug of all “Flying creatures give birth in midair, leading to tragedy” 

Actually I lied it’s the one where after a major update werewolves and vampires started climbing the nearest tree and refusing to come down. It turned out that he’d given evil creatures the ability to sense each other, but forgotten to set a maximum range on it, so werewolves were aware Hell was underground and trying to flee by climbing 

THOSE POOR SCARED WEREWOLVES

“Demons masquerading as gods will try a little harder” lives in my heart now

#This is the representation I’ve been looking for

I wanna learn how to do this

not the twitter migrants putting "reblog heavy" in their bios on here... like yeah. that's what we do here

I'm so glad that that truncated fucking ran-into-a-wall-at-speed tadpole-ass looking squirrel only lives in high altitude forests in Borneo bc this means I am extremely unlikely to encounter one in my day to day life. thank god

DID YOU MAKE THIS BLOG SIMPLY TO TORMENT ME

WHERE IS THE REST OF YOU

Thank you. I hope everybody thinks this

being a humanities major who’s friends with stem majors is so funny because you’ll ask your friends what they’re doing today and they’re like “UGH it’s so stressful i have to stabilize the reactor core for my nuclear power midterm and then i have to build the supercomputer from i have no mouth yet i must scream for my electrical engineering homework :/ what about you” and you’re like “oh well i have to read a fun little book and write an essay about gender.” and they still think you have it worse

Being a stem major who's friends with humanities majors is ALSO funny bc you ask what's goin on with them and they're like "oh yeah my day's pretty good! I only have to read 50 pages for this one class today and half a book for another one. It's much better than last week where I read three books and wrote a 10 page paper about their overlapping motifs for one class while also researching a niche period of time that our library doesn't have any resources on. How's it been for you?" and you're like "oh I have a lil packet of fun math puzzles due tomorrow." and they look at you like you're carrying the weight of the universe on your back

This is your reminder that just because something falls within the skillset you've practiced, so you can do it and you don't find it particularly hard or stressful relative to other things, it doesn't mean it isn't actually hard work you should be proud of yourself for accomplishing!

this applies to writing and art, too

Ich bin immer begeistert wenn in irgend'nem Buch oder einer Doku gesagt wird, dass jemand "nach [...] eilte". Auch wenn eigentlich eine flotte Kutschfahrt usw. gemeint ist, muss ich mir immer vorstellen wie der Kurfürst von Schlagmichtot querfeldein losgesprintet ist. Und der Hofstaat hinterher. Nette Vorstellung.

Für mich ist "Eilen" nicht Sprinten, sondern eher so in Richtung Powerwalken. Immer ein Fuß mit Bodenkontakt. Die Vorstellung von Adel mit Hofstaat absolutely moving mit Wanderstöcken find ich aber auch irgendwie witzig!
