pun is better than derfect

Unpopular opinion but literally not one person in the world should have their human rights violated

If one person's rights can be waved away, so can yours

yes, even those people.

Problems in computationally efficient fluid simulation which have stymied game designers for decades are being solved right now by artists on Patreon whose ability to afford groceries this month depends on whether they can render a video involving several gallons of jizz on a laptop from 2017.

this sure is a sentence

I've got more.

How many?

So far not a lot of people think Harrow is influencing John's dream, which makes sense. Although I do think it would be really funny if the whole business with G--'s arm was Harrow unconsciously inserting an explanation for him looking like an idiot's first construct.

I believe authors should be cryptic and unhelpful in the interpretation of their own work or even act like they’re dead and never comment on it ever

I read an interview where a guy calls a Le Guin story educational and she very nearly kills him on the spot.

You Are Not Immune To fanart of characters who die in canon that has them alive and well, with scars from the wound that originally killed them

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

…well this post sure took off

new ask game; what do you think my hobby, skillset or knowledge or any other details of me based off my writing

There's a kind of corollary effect, too, where if you happen to know the formulas for olivine and THREE feldspars, experts will fully forget that you're not one of them.

"next time, log in faster with fingerprint/face/iris recognition!" how about i keep typing my password like i have for the past 25 years and you fuck off

In my experience, one of the reasons the idea of "brain gender" is such a persistent gremlin even in ostensibly progressive spaces is that a lot of folks haven't really abandoned the bioessentialist framework of gender, they've just modified it to include trans people, and trans-inclusive bioessentialism falls apart if brain gender isn't real.

Huh. First time I noticed that he crucifies her.

When I was like eight years old I read a novel where the protagonist gets isekaied to a fantasy world and immediately bumps into a wise mentor figure who purportedly wants to help her become a wizard, except it turns out that he's teaching her a fake magic system that does nothing except drain her power for his benefit. This wasn't even the actual plot of the book (the scheme is uncovered after like one chapter), but I've always wanted to do something with that in a tabletop RPG where the GM is actively lying to the players about what the rules are and they have to figure out how the "real" mechanics work. I haven't put any deep thought into how that could actually work from a structural perspective that doesn't just immediately devolve into yet another tedious exercise in "here's the vague suggestion of a system, now have the GM make something up", but it's on my "to do" list!
