Remind me again what I'm doing here?

ffxiv is awesome because within the game's community it's widely known that there's an entire datacenter occupied by people with max level characters who don't know how to play the game and also taylor. and there's another entire datacenter occupied by people with max level characters who don't know what the game is about and also kessel

ive been doing roulettes on crystal since my criterion static is there. cross datacenter matchmaking is going to destroy these people. im playing paladin, a class i havent bothered to learn the exact rotation of because im not max lvl yet, and getting second on the damage chart in trials as tank. first in dungeons. im seeing mechanics i never knew about. im watching the same people get blasted out the ring four times in a row. mixing crystal and aether players is dumping baby seals into an orca tank. this is an arcane ritual. this is human sacrifice. rivers of roleplayer blood will stream from the altar to get dynamis queue times under 20 years

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!

Ramb is the funniest Toby Fox character of all time actually. This random reskin of a Chapter 2 NPC shows up out of nowhere with zero foreshadowing and acts like he's actually known literally every single major Darkner from the previous chapters drops the words "chaos" "big shot" and "freedom" three sentences away from each other like he was in a "i remember youre genocides" meme except fully unironically says he's gonna show Kris "some REAL fun" and give them Freedom only to traumatize them with an evil ass zelda knockoff that railroads them into killing people and John Mantle and then has the fucking gull to die on you no boss fight no crystal no resolution no nothing before being spirited away by god knows what. if you don't pursue his evil ass sidequest he gets off-screened and some hater talks about how he sucked ass and nobody loved him right next to his own fucking corpse. kris and susie don't even take him to castle town they actually just leave him to die. he helps your gay uncle imprison your mom in a hampster ball. he's british and he lives in boston.
