plymouth rock is so silly why is that a thing

i stand by the take that zelda's mom in breath of the wild is royal-born and thus must also be named zelda

Show thread

naming Zelda’s mom Genevieve sure is a choice

anyway cultural associations with colours are funny and it's awkward when a site like github decides to make one association universal (red ink = deletion, negative) when there are some very prominent others (red ink = addition, positive, success)

Show thread

everyone knows red is hot 📈 and blue is cold 📉 (not everybody knows this)

Show thread

it's fucked that one of the github colorblind modes uses red and blue but makes red old and blue new

squirrels are cute and the ecological niche they fill here is not one that exists without human intervention so they're like tiny terraforming partners in crime

Show thread

if humans disappeared it would be bad for seagulls sure but where i live it would also mean the death of every single squirrel

these are not real pokémon trainer quotes but they are VERY CLOSE

Youngster Luke: “I love wearing shorts! When I run through the tall grass, it tickles!” (on defeat) “Achoo!”

Honeymooner Chris: “Battling POKéMON is a great way to build up your stamina!” (on defeat) “Couldn’t keep it up!”

Swimmer♀ Bethany: “The only problem with wearing a bikini is deciding where to keep my POKé BALLS!” (on defeat) “I would have won if i wasn’t wearing my bikini!”

gamers are like “maybe they will finally give pokémon full voice acting”!!

1) do you even understand how much text is in a pokémon game

2) have you even thought five seconds about what pokémon dialogue would sound like out loud this isn't fucking dragon age

Show thread

i do not want anime video games with unrealistic dialogue to be voice acted

@witchfynder_finder what’s even the point of having a canadian girlf if you still have to learn celsius

@witchfynder_finder people emphasize meaning and thinking too much and the difference between languages is more like the difference between watercolours and pastels

you can paint a fucking boat in both of them but the AESTHETICS are different; artistically, toki pona is like a very particular set of paints and brushes and the corresponding techniques, which can have aesthetic value beyond just their ability to express concepts

personally? i have zero interest in learning this entire set of niche painting techniques for this niche art club that most people will never have access to. but it’s not without merit in its own way

@witchfynder_finder learning a small, esoteric invented language with a small number of very nerdy speakers will not help your mental state but it will help you write poetry that only a handful conscious entities in the history of all time will ever be able to understand

i’ll have you know my girlfriend called my writing “a bit tiresome and pretentious” though so clearly not everybody thinks as i do
