@coriander i’ve never watched the rest of an ad on a website

@coriander oh i mean yeah but they've been showing 5 seconds of ad and then saying “watch the rest on our website” for at least a decade

@coriander remember when they couldn't afford enough time for a real ad so they just put a url on the screen and were like please click

re: a hamburger 

@Satsuma you missed this amazing moment which happened before you started watching

a·o·3 miswrangling 

it’s 2024 and zelda fics are still showing up in my pokémon feed because they’re tagged with “Sonia (mentioned)”

#SnowflakeChallenge update: Snowflake Challenge 2024№5 – “Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents:” 

§01. “Something your favorite character would like”

Do I have a favourite character? I don’t really participate in character‐driven fandom.

(Actually, most of my favourite characters are probably fandom O·C’s.)

The answer is probably tea, regardless.

§02. “Something that makes you laugh”

“GUM!!!”

§03. “A fandom place you would like to visit”

There are very few fictional settings I would prefer over our real‐life one, but the setting of ‘Questionable Content’ probably ranks up there.

§04. “A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet”

I first learned about a number of comix artists in like 2014–2016 because they would post fanart on twitter or tumblr. Now I have their art on my walls or comix on my shelves! They all seem like cool people and I’d be happy to meet any of them in person.

§05. “Something you find comforting”

We have lots of quilts that my mom made :) .

§06. “Something from a favorite TV series or movie from your childhood”

I have so much pokémon‐branded stuff, altho if anything I am ⁜more⁜ of a fan now than I was as a kid.

§07. “A piece of clothing you love”

Shirts that I stole (were given) from my girlfriend.

§08. “A book or song with a color in the title”

<janicekwan.bandcamp.com/track/>="“Azure Blue” by Janice Kwan."

§09. “Something only someone in your fandom would understand”

<jellyfish-link.tumblr.com/post>="I’ll just leave this here."

@noracodes the important question is “what kind of search”? doing context-unaware plaintext matches against fulltext indexes is not the only way of searching, and not even a particularly good way for trained users when other mechanisms are available

@coriander i mean DA:O is the spiritual successor to BG3’s actual predecessor, but i think that makes BG3 like, a really young uncle, not a descendant
