according to An Immense World, apparently giant squid eyes are, like, UNREASONABLY large, even for something their size living at those depths. the next largest eyes on earth, blue whale eyes, are less than half the size, and swordfish, who live at similar depths as giant squid and have the largest eyes of any fish, have eyes that could fit inside a giant squid's pupil.
eyes hit serious diminishing returns wrt resource costs vs vision quality as they get bigger, so the question became: what the FUCK do giant (and colossal) squid need to see so badly that they couldn't see with swordfish-sized eyes that's justifying that massive energy cost? that nothing else in the deep ocean needs to see so fucking badly??
turns out the one strength eyes that big really have over much smaller eyes is: seeing large glowing objects in water deeper than 500 meters from an appreciable distance.
sperm whales are the primary predator of giant squid. sperm whales don't glow. BUT! water that deep is full of bioluminescent creatures-- these creatures light up when bumped into. something a sperm whale's size is continuously bumping into those critters, it's just surrounded by a glowing field all the time when it's swimming at those depths, visible from a distance-- if you have the right eyes-- as a massive glowing shape. so basically the only reason to have eyes the size of soccer balls is if you live in the deep ocean and your life depends on having a heads up when a hungry sperm whale lurking around
and also I gotta say, the imagery... the huge lurking threat betrayed only by the ambiguous glowing shape of its movements through the water, is really evocative, if spooky deep-sea games aren't already using that to make things extremely ominous then they should really start
What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?
When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are
Not deterred by the closed door
Working as a group
Protecting their identities
Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction
Getting away at the end
These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere
i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"
grandfather....

"girl dinner" "boy kibble" can y'all just eat a meal gender neutrally
gender neutrients
when boy bands sing a love song addressed to the listener does that imply all 5-10 of them are in love with you at once. that seems like a lot of pressure i don't know if i want to be the nucleus of the boyband polycule.
okay you know those posts that are like "this male character archetype would be better as a woman"? you know what we need more of? female loudmouth braggart hero antagonists. women who are cocky and comedically vainglorious and beloved by the public and also objectively suck so fucking bad. I'm not kidding. I don't care how sexist the audience would be about that. I want to see a woman who should be played by whoever the female equivalent of Nathan Fillion is.
no one ever did it like her
he fixed a bunch of potholes recently and all my gay neighbors won't stop posting shit like this
You forgot the other two.
if you're and indie dev it's your sacred mission to hide some inexplicable shit in the files of the game and never, ever explain yourself. it keeps things interesting. everyone loves it even when they hate it i promise
so early in this posts life there is already a clear trichotomy of secrets in the notes:
spooky shit
deliberately(?) unsolvable mysteries

I will lock in tomorrow like nobody has ever locked in before
my super inflammatory game design opinion is that no game should ever encourage you to to play every day. yes, this includes animal crossing.
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.
Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.
It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
I can't really put it into words, but it makes me really angry when people say that US aggression towards Iran started "to distract from the Epstein files". It feels dismissive of all of the horrible things Iranians are going through. Am I bugging or is that a horribly thoughtless and callous thing to say?
No you're absolutely correct. I said the same thing a couple months ago about Venezuela, as there were people ALSO saying that the attack against Venezuela was a distraction from the Epstein files.
Like it's not only thoughtless and callous, it also a) reveals a worldview with no sense of scale or priorities when it comes to international politics, and b) implicitly makes the point that you're in the wrong if you give a shit about what's going on in Iran or what's going on in venezuela or on any other country they're gonna say it about next time.
Like, if these people believe these things are a distraction from the Epstein files, the only logical conclusion is that they on some level believe if you give a shit about or pay any attention to the countries the US is attacking you're falling for the Distraction and playing right into Trump's hands. So yet another way US "progressives'" manage to construct a worldview where giving a shit about US imperialist violence is apparently actively helping Trump actually, and conveniently the progressive option is to not give a shit about it.
now i think psychotrenny was right to point out, when the subject came up about Venezuela:
The whole "distraction from the Epstein Files" theory could have some grain of truth to it. This wouldn't be the first time a US president engaged in a strategically pointless escalation of Imperialist aggression that was plausibly motivated by a domestic scandal. Bill Clinton ordering a missile attack on the Al-Shifa Pharmaceutical Factory in Sudan in the August of 1998, a week after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, is a well known example of this But whatever the specific motivations of Trump and his clique, however much or little thought went into it, the end result is the same.
like it doesn't really matter. even IF they intended it as a distraction it's not one! even IF you understand the war is the bigger issue, pointing out that it might have been intended as a distraction isn't a gotcha! that tells you nothing except "states are always doings a lot of things at once", no shit sherlock.
the facts are: the USA wants to disarm a potential nuclear power in SWANA for oil. and the only reason the U.S. bourgeoisie is able to spill the blood of children (and trans women, and racialized women, etc) for fun is because they spill the blood of SWANA for profit.
if you eliminate 1000 Epsteins overnight, there will be more imperialist wars and more Epsteins. if you eliminate the USA's capacity for imperialist wars, the number of billionaire sex traffickers will dwindle.
or, to repeat myself: despicable rulers are not an American aberration that creates unjust wars. unjust wars are an American aberration that creates despicable rulers.
people who believe the Epstein files are genuinely more important either confuse cause and effect, or they simply don't see Venezuelans and Iranians as human. plain and simple.

There's so many horror games about having to try to weed out and deal with inhuman imposters, but I want one where the script is flipped. You are something inhuman, you are an imposter, and if you want to survive you have to blend into a world that is trying to hunt you down and destroy you. You aren't human, but you must masquerade as one and infiltrate their world, or you will die.
I actually think we need to start inverting more Horror premises/tropes.
Like "You have to venture into the scary insane asylum!" VS "You're a patient who was admitted by force to an asylum, and you are very clearly in real danger, but everyone is pretending that you're just deluded, and are essentially leaving you to die because they don't really see you as a person."
I feel like there's a lot of Horror tropes built off of the fear of the other, when in reality it's actually often the other who is in danger. Maybe we could start recognising that more.
Interesting how the first half of the post has picked up popularity while the second part, which perhaps clarifies the idea of the original post, hasn't.
It's been interesting to see what media people are recommending based on the first post alone. A lot of recommendations for games/franchises like World of Darkness, Carrion, Kill All Humans, Among Us, etc. It's interesting because these are games that put you into the shoes of the violent other that has to infiltrate, without actually challenging the idea that the other is a threat. They actually parrot the ideas of the other as violent.
Funnily enough, the people recommending the comedy game Octodad understand the post much better than most of the people recommending horror media. A few mentions of Am I Nima, which isn't finished yet but does look like it could be what I am describing, so brownie points to the people recommending that.
But everyone saying stuff like "This is just being Trans/Autistic/Etc" really gets it, like really really gets it. Horror always communicates the fears and anxieties of the people who create it, this post was basically: "What if instead of communicating the fear of the other, we communicated the fears of the others, which are actually vastly more legitimate than the dominant groups fear of the other. We should recognise that it is overwhelmingly the others who are the ones who actually suffer and die, all for the perceived "saftey" and "comfort" of the dominant group."
This idea is about transphobia, it is about ableism, about anti-imigrant rhetoric and white supremacy, about queerphobia, it's about all of it. It is horror from the perspective of minority groups. It is the twisting of a trope built upon reactionary fears and narratives in order to critique them, it is a direct allegory for all those experiences you are describing.
Overall, it's just interesting to see who gets it and who doesn't.
