don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.
Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.
op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.
for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.
so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
It is funny (in a sad way) that take about Solas not caring about the elves, only started the rebellion to spite the elven Gods and his slave master and did everything as an out of control selfish egomaniac because he was salty as not being a wisdom spirit anymore…”
That’s what Veilguard made him out to be, we got Felassan scolding him for killing spirits and not caring when Bro was heartbroken in his DAI quest when he had to help his spirit friend, he’s so gosh darn sensitive that he needed to go cry for three days about one spirit being corrupted and having to release them. Veilguard did Solas so dirty thanks to the pov of Epler and Weekes in some half baked retcon that they decided not even Mythal could tell him to stop …
it's a bit wild bc it relies on a series of very funny assumptions to work haha
> we have to assume that, even IF solas started the rebellion partially for selfish ego reasons, this is... bad...? cancel him for not being ideologically pure about stopping slavery and saving lives from the blight?? ok haha. time to cancel 90% of historical and present day figures too. this doesn't even seem very plausible, bc for all of dai he is very ideologically consistent about not wanting any slavery.
> we have to assume that he had a cure for the blight, and was just executing his agents for fun. even though every game repeatedly says there's no easy cure, it's a horrible slow death and people prefer to be mercy killed rather than suffer for months, and solas himself is terrified of blight. but he definitely could fix them i guess. skill issue, guys! walk it off!
> we have to assume that "telling one group of volunteer soldiers to attack a risky target they'd already agreed to go after, while secretly sending a flanking party to do something else" is... bad. perhaps i am cold hearted but this is Normal. there are war table missions in dai that are more morally objectionable. there are no super clean insurgencies or wars without sacrifices, or people going into situations of nearly certain death.
it WOULD be unethical if he told them it was a safe mission before sending them in, or sent them to die for a personal goal instead of the cause they'd already agreed to. but he didn't even do that. you cannot actually tell an entire army "hey guys! ten of you are going on a super secret mission btw :) just so the rest of you have informed awareness :)" bc then it will leak, and the entire thing fails.
> we have to assume felassan, the guy who asks "is anybody going to feed these 50 dalish elves to a demon?" and doesn't wait for an answer, after gaining their trust and pretending to be one of them for years, and then calling them weeds to be pulled, is the moral core of the rebellion. lol. lmao even.
i actually think felassan comes off as much worse if you take his vg dialogue, bc it's like.... he's not sad about unsuspecting dalish civilians getting betrayed and slaughtered. but he is sad about Volunteer Soldiers dying in a battle that they all agreed to go into. that takes him from "ruthless about his mission" to "is not ruthless about spirits, but specifically disdains the modern elves, to a degree that makes solas seem like a sweetheart" hkskjdag
it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed
so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

okay but this is Vladimir Nabokov's whole schtick, he'll say some shit about the reflections or the bedsheets and you'll go "Oh you greasy fucker you just made me imagine what must be going on to cause that to happen" and he'll rub his hands and go "He he he he, bring meee more butterflieeeeees"

I need you young people to know it was almost never this hot when I was a child. Millennials and Gen Xers are all nostalgic and excited about summer because it was about ten to twenty degrees cooler to experience it back then!
I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now.
We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure.
but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.
But any time you wonder wtf the weather is doing- THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NO. THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS EVEN TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Israel holds the cards. They have the Epstein blackmail details on Trump.
Most elected Republicans are on the same boat. You can't get that level of subordination to a much smaller country without some sort of extortion. Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine Maxwell made their fortunes blackmailing.
i'm never leaving this fucking site i stg i love you all.
OK
final one
for all the marbles,
this one doesn't have an illustration bc i think it was just a kids novel but i haven't been able to find ANYTHING about it on my occasional internet queries:
kids is staying with his (grandmother?) in the woods and she warns him not to look a fox in the eyes bc they're tricksy and will swap places with you. obviously that's the first thing the little boy does and gets body snatched by a fox who uhhhh proceeds to pig out with his new little boy human hands and the boy has to trick the fox into looking him in the eyes again to switch back...
thats all i got, it's an older book i wanna say from the 60's?? 70's?? kinda the same jist of "Little Rascal"
okay I gotta learn blender, csp animating, and toon boom and Maya and unreal engine and photo room and the piano and guitar and welding and sculpting and painting and childcare
if you feel Represented by the status quo of the story then obviously the status quo cannot be allowed to move so much as a single inch from that point. the purpose of characters in a story is actually for them to slide one by one - as if like the pins in a lock - into position as Representations of you and all of your close personal friends until everybody is represented and the story no longer needs continue. at which point the lock will click and the door will swing open to reveal something so so beautiful and comfortable and unchallenging that it won't bring tears to your eyes or even indeed illicit an emotional reaction from you at all
