I’ve played so many JRPGs that if I walked into this room I’d fight the pope Maybe take out his two healers first

I’ve started to just be really up front and honest about my ADHD in work situations and it’s really helped. I know not everyone is comfortable with that and worried about being treated differently but I just can’t be bothered making things worse for no reason any more I keep it short and just say sometimes doing just one thing keeps my brain from working optimally but doing multiple things has it working better so I’m actually more able to concentrate and pay attention if I’m also working on something else at the same time or whatever

I watched First Man last night which reminded me that on this day in 1965 Alexei Leonov became the first person to exit their spacecraft and do a “space walk”. It’s one of my all-time favourite space race stories because it’s so wild it sounds made up Leonov died at the age of 85 in 2019 but honestly I still can’t quite grasp how he survived terrifying situation after situation within hours of each other. The famous first space walk? His spacesuit ballooned so much it stiffened and was stopping him from moving

Every time I see disagreements on the sexualisation of women in videogames, the differences of opinion always seem to come down to the same thing: some people act like the characters are real That might sound patronising but I don’t mean they literally believe the characters exist in the real world. I mean they think about their sexualisation in the context of them existing as real people and having agency

I take it we’re all watching Interstella 5555 tonight then? Well, after the new Perseverance data drops

The “stop people replying” feature was fun for about 10 seconds. I’m not worried by the boring “look at me being controversial and you can’t do anything” tweets. Whatever, they’ll stop. But a lot of misleading bullshit is going to get tweeted without being debunked in the replies Art that’s been stolen? No reply naming the original artist. Those “facts” or “amazing places” accounts that always post incorrect nonsense? No corrections in replies. “Look how many people came to see Trump during COVID”? Replies show photo is from 2016 etc

I've taken a look at the code and genetics for the flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons and thought I'd share a simple explanation since most flower breeding guides online just say colour 1 + colour 2 = colour 3 and I'm sure some of you aren't getting the colour you'd expect The flowers aren't just labelled in the code as red or yellow; they have genes that influence their colour. Two flowers of the same type and colour could have different alleles (versions of each gene)

Feeling a bit homesick so here are some of the words I miss hearing down here:

Drookit (sopping wet)

“Yer breeks are aw drookit, sataboot?”

“Your trousers are sopping wet, what’s all that about?” Hoaching (busy, crowded)

“Am cuttin aboot getting the messages but it’s hoachin”

“I’m walking around doing the shopping but it’s too busy”

@MattThorson Thanks for sharing! Is there something similar to the super wall jump where you dash in the direction of a wall, you can jump “from the wall” without even touching it? The dash is horizontal @MattThorson I thought it would be in this video but it’s not. But the bit at 8 seconds, I feel like it always happens at that wall. I swear I can change direction without actually touching the wall

Kazuko Shibuya created basically all graphics in the early Final Fantasy games. The chibi characters? That's her. The monsters? That's her. The menus and fonts? That's her. She created 100% of the graphics in the first Mana game. But no Wikipedia page so I've started a draft @Skazuko I have to stress this. Her name doesn't appear on the Final Fantasy series page. Her name appears once in the entry for the first game, despite her doing almost all the in-game graphics including user interface design, spell animations, and even the iconic opening bridge scene
