I wonder if we have some forgotten trauma or something relating to reading articles about mental health stuff, because we have a really strong aversion to it

it might just be how frequently they try to categorize everything into neat little boxes though

if partners you don't see frequently are "comet partners", would those people you don't follow but frequently see boosted onto your home column be "comet follows"

@Duende@snouts.online I just looked at your profile and what is "car seat headrest"?

can people maybe... not put difficult-to-parse abbreviations in their CWs? I see things like "ec" and stuff and it's an extra step of trying to figure out what is meant

I remember reading once that the symphony of the night enemy called "frozen half" (which is just an ice witch, but has a unique, lower-pitched scream sound effect when killed, different from the other witch enemies) is meant to be a transgender stereotype of some kind but I can't remember what exactly, could someone explain (or tell me I'm mistaken if that's the case)?

this is kind of true too, because the ps2/gamecube/dreamcast/xbox era was the first one where games were frequently ported between all of the main systems

you didn't get games that came out on both playstation and n64, or both snes and genesis

only 90s kids remember when video game consoles were actually materially different and had different capabilities

I feel like water has symbolic importance in Final Fantasy X but I can't figure out what exactly it symbolises

I made a post earlier that mentioned alucard's actual name and I just realized I got the name wrong

his real name is Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes

that feeling when you feel like you may have just done a social faux pas but don't know if you did or not and aaa.

phone calls just sap all our energy and we can't do anything afterward

augh phone calls are hard

masto question: what does "unless otherwise specified" mean here? How do you otherwise specify?

thought: steel is such a common material for tools because, primarily, of the abundance of iron; it's the most abundant metal. As such, a lot of research has gone into making tools and structures out of iron and iron-based alloys.

But what materials would tools and structures be made of if given an unlimited amount of any ores you want? (you have to smelt, alloy, and forge them yourself though) If iron didn't have the advantage of abundance, what would tools have been made of instead?

*pixellates*

you know

if you have two component video sources and put the luma from one and the chroma from another

that would probably look pretty weird. i wonder if the tv would handle that. synchronization would probably be a problem
