Ok so I was curious about that fucking deathtrap and I noticed a couple… oddities.

Alright so this thing is pretty stupid; I’m not at all familiar with submersible vessels, But it activated a sleeper gene in my skull from my time being obsessed with a certain video game.
So I decided to check the promotional page for the contraption.

(I’m going to put aside the second image, where they state the previous shit they hammered out had a 500 meter depth limit tops (i.e. that they, at best, made something that could get to 500 meters then decided that meant they could handle making something that could handle 8 times that). Thinking about the fact they brag about this so brazenly hurts my head. Back to the topic at hand.)
Ok so google shows “cyclops class” is not. a thing that exists. But it sure is funny they keep saying that word. Again maybe it’s just my stupid video game brain but that doesn’t seem to be used in this context anywhere else. Then I saw the renders.

Ok the newer one on the left really loves that “single eye” thing and looks silly enough, but the older one is…. ok. I give up. That’s Subnautica. That’s Subnautica For Real.

They built their goddamn suicide death trap based on a submarine in a videoed game.
disgusting that middle school girls googling ‘real powerful magic spells’ will now get glamour and teen vogue articles full of sponsored links to amazon crystals as the top results instead of a homemade website with deadly serious instructions for how to turn yourself into a vampire
Multiverse stakes are actively counter to my enjoyment of a movie at this point, because when everything is at stake, nothing is at stake. Across the Spider-Verse works for me because, in spite of its reality-spanning plot, the stakes are crushingly intimate. I don’t believe that a film would destroy the multiverse. I do believe that a film would kill Miles’s dad.
We want character development. We want a decent story. We want practical effects. Rehashing the same thing again and again will get the audience to disengage.
“You can’t be a lurker on tumblr.” Yes, you absolutely can. I’ve been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven’t interacted with anyone in years.
See this is what I mean when I say men are incapable of being sexy. They THINK this is sexy. Meanwhile me and the other ladies in the comment section……disgusted. Horrified. Cringing. Feeling secondhand embarrassment
Yeah this wasn’t for the girlies
ok that was my first thought tbh but i think HE thinks it is 😭
Although there were planes used against the miners in the Battle of Blair Mountain, it is not true that this was the first time planes were used to drop bombs on American soil against Americans.
The Battle of Blair Mountain took place in August and September of 1921. Just a few months prior to that, on May 31 and June 1, planes were also used to help destroy the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a prosperous black neighborhood nicknamed The Black Wall Street. At least 39 people died during the event, which is known as the Tulsa Race Massacre. Hundreds were wounded, and 6,000 black people lost their homes.
Both of these events were hugely important moments in American history.
Ask yourself why neither was taught to you in school. Also ask your local school board.
I pointed this out in a Discord server I’m in and thought Id share here:
Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.
Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.
I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.
Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.
So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.
They are going to use excuses like “not enough funding for the server capacity” or “not enough views to warrent keeping the show”. These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.
Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.
the differences in peoples lifespans in breath of the wild is so funny. you will meet the rito and they will say something like “long ago… there was a hero.. the appointed knight of princess zelda… but oh that legend is all but lost to time.. but perhaps. perhaps you are a descendant of that legendary hero..” and then you will meet a zora and theyll be like “oh hey link havent seen you in a while whats up”
It’s even funner when you realise the reason Zoras suddenly acquired multi-century lifespans in Breath of the Wild is purely because Nintendo wanted to do a traditional high fantasy setting, so naturally they needed a High Elf analogue. They looked at the list of standard High Elf tropes, saw “dwells high in the mountains in soaring towers of silver and starlight”, went “right, got it”, and picked an aquatic species.
