correlation is not causation, ghosts are drawn to poison and weakened minds

how does something like Pokemon evolve over thousands of years? once the construct of capitalism wears off, what's left of an omnipresent world-spanning franchise? personally i think it's gonna get religious. it's gonna get syncretic

Hey anyone notice how google translate is being pretty liberal with their translations as of late? Takin some real liberties to infer tone.

“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

i started noticing it years ago but i'm a little let down by how much in AAA games seems to rely on "tell don't show". Sims 4 takes you on magical multi-steps adventures through text boxes. No Man's Sky has your character go through all kinds of technomystical nonsense and it's just text boxes. Paradox games are riddled with events that are just text boxes but at least they've got a little flavor picture to go with it usually

see every time i see this status i get angry because i’ve played through literally every scenario in rct1 and there is no place where this is a thing. there is never more than one park per map. and in rct2 you can’t make that happen i the scenario editor either. it is not remotely within the game’s functionality to simulate two discrete parks and these games were coded in assembly for christ sake so it’s not like someone modded it in by adding the line “int const TOTAL_NUM_POSSIBLE_PARKS = 2;”. there is no conceivable way this post is anything close to true and even though i know how writing all this out reflects upon me as a person and even though i know exactly how meaningless and trifling of a takedown attempt this is on some random facebook screencap with hundreds of thousands of notes im going to post it anyway because i’m too petty to have any say in the matter

making a sarcastic fourth wall breaking comment towards the audience but i've misinterpreted where the camera is so i'm just speaking in a random direction while everybody stares at me funny

so interesting when a medieval fantasy world shows signs of a partial columbian exchange. dirt-caked churls may grow pumpkins and eat potato stew yet no chocolate or hot peppers to be seen
