WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

i love this image but i never have the opportunity to use it so i always quote it in my head instead

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

  • the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
  • taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
  • at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
  • 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
  • it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
  • it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
  • you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
  • young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
  • there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

My favorite joke in Metalocalypse is how as the show goes on it becomes increasingly obvious they’re naming characters with the sole purpose of torturing Mark Hamill.

It’s been almost two years since I posted this but here’s a list of the official spelling of every character he introduces here:

  • Dr. Gibbitz
  • Dr. Amon Skagerakk Fredrickshaven
  • Dr. Donald Gorthian
  • Ronald Von Momnaldberg
  • Dr. Natasha Nesciantskidovich
  • Vicenzo de Alimamala Corningston III 
  • Professor Jerry Gustav Mangledink
  • Horace Marmingblat Wimplestein, Jr.
  • Dr. Chazz Fazzledopenhoffer
  • Vater Oorlag
  • Dr. Milminaman-lanilim-swinwamly
  • Dr. Gibbitz again (but for some reason it’s spelled “Gibbetz” in the season 2 subtitles)
  • Melmord Fjordslorn
  • Dr. Ralphus Galkinsmelter
  • Dr. Amomolith Chesterfield
  • Wilmore Unduntingiminen
  • Dr. Ninmiltrid Fmiltindryden
  • Dr. Imptnin Pmiltson
  • Dr. Tormindbind Mickmildididindnin
  • Dr. Krumpworth Chponglasia IV, Jr.
  • Dr. Borgermu Barret Swingdworth 
  • Dr. Richard Reinhold Rnawighiwowpj
  • Captain Slufgyflaysid
  • Dr. Bartholomew Grahsrihajul
  • Dr. Alsajahb Fifborgiltk 
  • Dr. Fsmilejera Irlelwoll 
  • Dr. Commander Vernmim Chuntspinkton

Like I just love how you can pinpoint “Ninmiltrid Fmiltindryden” as the exact moment the joke went from making Mark Hamill say funny but still vaguely name-shaped words to forcing that poor man to pronounce straight up keysmashes out loud.

my favorite coworker told me the scenario she thinks of to fall asleep is she stumbles upon a baby sheep and has to raise it and it grows up and she has to shear it and she says she envisions shearing it so carefully that she always falls asleep at that part
