See this is the problem though. We’ve hit a point where tech is expected to advance and be twice as good and with all these advancements, and not just in graphics departments, it makes games that much more complex and time-consuming to develop

Genuinely unreal 5 is incredible but games don’t need that much more power. games don’t need to be 4k ready for consoles because a lot of people cant afford 4k televisions. And yet we’re prepping for 8k now. AAA studios have become obsessed with making things prettier and utilizing hardware to its fullest when its wholly unnecessary.

I genuinely don’t like Nintendo as a business because of the way it treats its fans but i do respect them using less powerful hardware and making that work. Games don’t need unreal 5 to be good. Games don’t need complex system programming to be good. there is like this inherent expectation that more powerful hardware will yield more impressive games and that’s not necessarily true

Like to this day most of my favorite games were on the GameCube. The Gamecube and Wii generation (not just nintendo, but ps2, 360, etc) were some of my favorite moments in gaming and i wish games were simple again. and not like simple in terms of content but like. Not all games need a 5 year dev cycle.

Fuck this is so disgusting

This post is a fucking Pandora’s box of awful

Oh my God. This gets worse every time I see it!

This is why I live alone. I don’t want to be remembered as a murderer, and I’d kill each and every one of these jerks.

It’s so interesting to see these men carefully plan and go out of their way to ruin something harmless and fun, like put real effort into it, and then go “it’s just [x]”

Like if it was JUST socks or an app or a blanket or some jars, why did it BOTHER you so much? 

Because it was a symbol of your s/o not being entirely dependent on you, on getting happiness outside of you, of being their own human with their own feelings. And you KNOW that deep down, or else you wouldn’t have gone to such effort to sabotage it.

Good news! Prom picture (ex) fiancée called off the wedding and broke up with the asshole who shredded her picture!

And the woman whose high school poetry got stolen and used in the asshole’s song made a throwaway account to publically dump him and drag him over his shitty music

Oh, and colorful mismatched socks girlfriend? She dumped the proper-sock obsessed asshole too

I’ve seen this post before and I always wanted closure so I googled them to see if I could get it. I think it’s important to show that these assholes fucked around and found out, and that these girls are now free to look for partners who actually care about their feelings!

It’s never too late to ditch someone that makes you feel inadequate, childish or silly just for doing things that bring you joy.

We have limited time on this bitch of an earth and you sure as hell shouldn’t waste it with a partner that puts you down. You can find better. You deserve better.

Hey, if your current partner reminds you of ANY of these men, please take this as your sign to leave. If your partner destroys what is harmless and what you enjoy, they are an asshole and you do not want to spend the rest of your life with that. You can break things off.

tumblr. you’ve got to understand that it’s literally you guys being ableist towards us autistic folk.

it’s not a twitter thing or a tiktok thing or a whatever other social media site you personally dislike the most thing.

you constantly make fun of autistic symptoms. all the fucking time.

you always insult people who have trouble understanding. you always insult people who have trouble with reading comprehension. who struggled in or cant/couldnt pass school. you make fun of people who take things too literally. too personally. who are too emotional. who aren’t emotional enough. who don’t have empathy. you are the one doing it and you do it without even thinking you may be ableist.

like yeah it can be annoying to deal with people who don’t understand something but you don’t have to be an asshole about it. stuggling with reading comprehension, undertsanding details or hidden meanings, etc, doesn’t mean you deserve to be made fun of.

I know from trying to get my college to divest from its fossil fuel investments that this is Big Fucking Money for these institutions and they will not let go of a single stock without a hard fucking fight. Nothing like getting escorted out of the president’s office by security for the heinous crime of suggesting that maybe, just MAYBE, profiting off the destruction of the entire planet isn’t the most ethical choice when your students are going six figures into debt for an education

Check your hand sanitizer y'all

Here’s the full, updated list from the FDA. It’s currently (well, as of March 14 ‘24) 67 pages.

Also be aware that a LOT of companies substitute cheaper ingredients in their food products. Which is obnoxious but fine, unless you’re allergic to the substitute ingredients.

Olive oil, tea, honey, cinnamon (not that lead is exactly “safe” to eat), vanilla, coffee, fish, blah blah blah. The list goes on. Any corners a company can cut to save .001%, they will. Usually the substitutes are mostly harmless, but it isn’t as if companies care about consumer safety when there’s profit to be made.

To clarify, the list linked is ALL hand sanitizer products officially recalled (and may have ongoing additions). It is NOT just the Aruba Aloe brand; there are many brands by various manufacturers on the list. So please check to see if you own anything on that list.

To clarify further and reduce overall panic: methanol isn’t that bad if you get it on your skin. It causes blindness when you ingest it because your liver tries to break it down like ethanol (as in, sippin’ liquor) and accidentally creates formic acid, which dissolves your optic nerve.

Interestingly, one of the best ways to prevent methanol toxicity if medical treatment is unavailable is to just drink a fuck load of ethanol (i.e. get shitfaced) because your liver is like “oh, shit, now THERE’S the good stuff!” and just kinda ignores the methanol for a while until you pee it out. This also works if you are a complete moron and you drink antifreeze, but through a different mechanism that keeps the antifreeze in solution instead of allowing it to crystallize inside your kidneys. If methanol gets on your skin (like from windshield washer fluid, where it’s used to lower the freezing point of the liquid below temperatures typically found on this planet), it evaporates even faster than ethanol or isopropanol, so the odds of absorbing a toxic amount from a little squirt of hand sanitizer are pretty low.

Just don’t fucking drink your hand sanitizer or slather your entire body with it a la Frank Reynolds and you’ll be fine.

learned today (after googling it upon seeing the “Sadomasochism Brothers” post) that masochism was named by a psychiatrist who had read Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s erotic writing and was like “I feel safe in concluding that this man had Fucked-Up Freak Sex Disorder, which now until forever will bear his name”, while von Sacher-Masoch was still alive. there are accounts of von Sacher-Masoch being like “bro what the fuck” about this

Pour one out for a real one.

Reading up on him, he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first people to stand up to John Money about his theories of gender development and position that intersex infants should receive surgery and never be told about it using his abuse of David Reimer as ‘proof’, asserting that Money didn’t have the evidence and standing his ground even when Money straight up started screaming at him. And then later he was proven right when he got into contact with David Reimer, not only discovering proof that Money was wrong but also how abusive and horrific Money had been. He then went on to write advocating for intersex and trans rights and to avoid unnecessary procedures on intersex people without full informed consent and that intersex people are part of natural human variation and that we deserve acceptance and not to be treated like a disorder.

A quote I really like from him: ‘Nature loves diversity, society hates it’

And you can use their reality to keep them calm if they are panicking! We had a husband who was always panicking trying to find his wife. Telling him she had passed away was not an option, but through the family we figured out their routine and could tell him not to worry, that she was at the salon or getting coffee with MaryAnne and would be home soon. It calmed him down, stopped him from trying to climb out of windows looking for her, and kept him in his own reality.

If you are working with dementia patients and they aren’t your family, try to get small details from the family that can help!

We had an older gent who was always wanting to get in his car and drive off so we would tell him his car was in the workshop. Eventually someone came up with a car of a make and model he’d owned that was non-working so we parked it up in the garden and he used to get in and sit happily behind the wheel and go for ‘drives’ - he even used to give other residents lifts to wherever they thought they were going.

Trying to orient someone with dementia is cruel in the short term and ultimately pointless. You’ll only upset them by trying to tell them the truth and they’ll have forgotten in an hour and be asking after the same long dead people again. My mother has worked in dementia care for over 25 years and will often tell families “So-and-so is happy in their dementia world”

[ image id: a screenshot of an answer to a question regarding dementia. the question asks “how do i answer my dad with dementia when he talks about his mom and dad being alive? do i go along with it or tell him they have passed away?” the answer, written by david mcphee (ph.d. psychologist, therapist) is as follows: 
“enter into his reality and enjoy it. he doesn’t need to be ‘oriented’. thank god the days are gone when people with advanced dementia were tortured by huge calendars and reminders signs and loved ones were urged to ‘orient’ them to bring them to some boring reality.
if dad spends most of his time in 1959, sit with him. ask him questions he didn’t have time for before. ask about people long dead, but alive to him, learn, celebrate heritage. his parents are alive to him. learn more about your grandparents. if he tells the same story over and over, appreciate it as if it’s music, and you come back to the beautiful refrain.
this isn’t ‘playing along to pacify the old guy’, this is an opportunity to communicate and treasure memories real but out of time.”  / end id ]

pro tip, if you’re using twink to mean:

- loser

- effeminate in a negative way

- weak

- pathetic

- annoying

you are probably being homophobic and probably just using it as a free pass alternative for gay or faggot. you’re not slick it’s not okay and you need to think about your words more. you’re not immune to doing this if you’re queer either I’ve seen a LOT of people doing this all across the sexuality labels.

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually  die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”

Yes. A Death that is kind, and patient, and inevitable.

A Death that need not fight against you, that will often fight for you, because why not? It will gather you home eventually. Why not enjoy you first?

A Death that treasures those who fight it most ardently. That loves healers and defenders and survivalists and necromancers and mad scientists and immortal gods. That lets them pour everything they are into fighting it, denying it, adoring every desperate scrap of strength and will and brilliance and raw determination poured out against it. That catches you when your strength is done and all your will and brilliance run out, that gathers you close beneath a warm, dark cloak, and whispers well done, oh child, you were magnificent, well done.

A Death who will not seek to hasten an inevitable end, who will chastise those who seek to hasten it for others in Death’s stead, who will slowly and patiently plot and sow and siphon away from the great monsters of the world. Because who are they to hasten Death’s domain, who are they to deny Death its time and its place, who are they to cut short these vital glories that illuminate it so? Who are they to presume upon its will, that is so much larger and so much longer than theirs?

Who are they to call, and presume that Death, of all beings, should obey?

A Death that is not a hunter but a gatherer, who is always and eternal, who loves you, and can afford to wait. A Death who will fight for you and defend you, who will place its hand upon those who would speed you to its embrace, who has no need to rush you, only to greet you when you call.

A Death who is kind.

And patient.

And, before all and above all,

inevitable.

Who are they to call,

and presume that Death, of all

beings, should obey?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Death is no hunter nor gatherer. But rather a farmer. Do not forget: Death wields a scythe, a farming tool. Death will harvest you when you are ripe. Not a second sooner or later. Death will protect you from vermin, fire, and flood. You are Deaths crop after all.

Oh, and one more thing: Death always completes the harvest.

Today I had the spoons to hunt down my neighborhood council’s email and send them an email that basically said “I would like to be able to leave my house but my neighborhood is not wheelchair accessible. Who do I talk to in order to get this fixed?” And I am planning on hunting down whoever is in charge of sidewalks in my neighborhood and getting real annoying about it.

My plan is to email them every time I want to go somewhere but can’t.

Email 1: hello, please fix sidewalks so I can ride the bus places I am very passionate about public transportation and also being able to leave my house.

Email 200: This morning I woke up and wanted some delicious coffee to start my day, but upon getting out of bed I discovered we were out of coffee. I would’ve liked to take advantage of the city’s public transportation system in order to support a local business like [examples of local coffee shops] but alas I cannot because I am a wheelchair user and my neighborhood is not wheelchair accessible. [Insert rest of arguement RE accessibility]. In conclusion I don’t work I can keep these emails coming until I die please just fix my sidewalks.

This is going to be my new spite hobby. I was already mad about the abuse and general shit hand the disabled get dealt in our culture but then I started using a wheelchair and places like doctor’s offices have been inaccessible to me so now I am filled with rage. So I am going to take that rage and do something with it. Like emailing my city counsel representatives at 2 am like “I crave a moonlight walk fix my sidewalks please.”

I encourage you to do this!

After the Americans with Disabilities Act passed in 1990, my grandma - who used an electric wheelchair, having survived both polio and getting hit really hard with post-polio syndrome - made a hobby of filing complaints against businesses that weren’t accessible.

She also used to run over people with her chair if they were blocking ramps, but that’s neither here nor there.
