Thank you Science side of tumblr

I hugely appreciate people taking to the time explain stuff like this, as it helps put an end to the “wow, science is magic!” trope that’s become far too common.

One of my long term fandom friends (back from ye olde message board days of yore) has been posting for weeks about how her teenage daughter is “out of control” and she just posted in the facebook group about how her daughter has ruined Christmas by deciding to be a lesbian and the whole group just went “Karen, you’ve been writing gay m/m slash fic for three decades” and she went “but that’s different, that’s not REAL” and I’ve never tried to actively set someone on fire with my brain before but

Two of the other mom’s in the group just offered to take M for Christmas and keep her with them when school restarts because she deserves to be loved. One of them actually said “deserves a real mother” and I just spat my tea everywhere.

#this is why it’s important to realize that shipping two guys does not an LGBT ally make

All the more fitting since the flavor is “Classic Salt”

my absolute favourite thing about this post is that it says “knew” as if don bluth isn’t still alive asfdkjdgl

I’ve seen so many posts like that that I genuinely thought he was dead

A lake of acid? Whoa.

“The Cake Is A Lie” is a genuinely brilliant piece of environmental storytelling in video games and I will never forgive you people for what you did to it

Alright I’ve gotten asked to clarify this post a couple of times now and what I mean by “it’s a brilliant piece of environmental storytelling” is that the place where you see “The Cake Is A Lie” first written is an entirely optional section of the game. You can only find it if you look in the right spot and figure out what to do. It’s not a necessary part of the plot, but it can clue you in on what is happening-that glados is lying to you and manipulating you-way before it ever actually happens. If you manage to find the ratman den that “the cake is a lie” is scrawled across the walls of, then you have made that discovery well before glados ever mentions a cake, meaning that if you were willing to explore, then you as a player can start to put together the larger pieces of the story without ever explicitly being told. It was a really effective way of letting the story happen to you rather than you being told what is happening and that interactivity is an advantage that video games have over movies and books and I think Valve handled it perfectly. Now if only they would make a game sometime this decade…
