settlers are always so enthusiastic about ''foraging'' and then you'll start talking to them about indigenous horticulture & sustainable harvesting practices and they quickly reveal that they're more interested in the aesthetic of being a Crunchy Woodland Creature than like reducing their reliance on exploitative industrial agriculture or rebuilding their local foodshed

can’t believe I only just learned about the attested Gaulish word “marcosior” (< PCeltic *marko- ‘horse’ but as a passive verb in the desiderative or future) which means “I want to be ridden like a horse” and occurs in exactly the context you’re imagining

Imagine they made Space Jam 2, but they were like, "parents hate hearing cartoon voices, so we're replacing all the voices of these characters," so Porky Pig was voice acted by Generic Male Actor #1, and Tweety Bird was voice acted by Generic Male Actor #2, and Elmer Fudd was voice acted by Generic Male Actor #3, etc etc. That's what these Mario movies are like to me. "We can't have this child cartoon character be played by a woman doing a Cartoon Child Voice, so let's make him sound like some random grown ass man instead." And I see and hear that during the game awards and cringe and think, "Okay, well that sucks, but these movies aren't for me anyways. They're for normie parents and children who are too young to care about what the characters sound like. So I'll just keep trying to ignore these movies." But the reality is is that I'm an adult Mario fan who follows adult Mario fans online and is friends with adult Mario fans. So I open Youtube and it's like, "here's what this Twitch streamer thinks of the newest Mario movie," and I gotta just keep scrolling. And then my friend is like, "Dude did you hear Yoshi's voice in the newest Mario movie? It sounds awful." I'm not clicking that link man. I already know they made Yoshi sound like Generic Male Actor #4, I don't need to hear it.

No, Word, I do not “want to rewrite this paragraph with copilot”. Similarly, I do not “want to hire a drunk chimp as a chauffeur”, so perhaps you can fuck off?

What the fuck is that

Remember when the entire internet believed that it was entirely the fault of Anish Kapoor that consumers weren't able to purchase an airplane paint that required proper ventilation and a paint booth to use, entirely on the word of a pigment manufacturer who then used the video to advertise his pigments?

I am NOT cooked. However I am softly simmering on a low heat for several hours

i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

biopics need to go back to hating their subject like the social network. enough puff pieces. spend 2 hours making me hate that guy and have the subject be so mad at the existence of the movie that it only makes people want to see it more. activate pvp mode and don't waste my fucking time
