then again, considering biologists classified literally everything in the order carnivora into either "dog-shaped" or "cat-shaped" maybe that's not so weird

it's kind of weird how eastern dragons get called dragons in the western world considering how... very, very different they are from western dragons

what exactly is in the switch's base? is there a coprocessor of some sort there, or is it just able to do higher framerates when docked because it can ignore battery limitations

a thing I just said in an actual conversation 

"also diesel engines explode repeatedly, where a rocket only explodes once but for a very long time"

@drolltergeist oops, I delete-and-redrafted the thing this was in reply to, so here's what it's talking about: awoo.space/@Felthry/1023377371

A Walk in the Shire
The Hobbit (2003)
Rod Abernethy, Dave Adams, Jason Graves

A game many people probably don't know exists, but an old favorite from our childhood. This Celtic-inspired pastoral tune plays in the first non-tutorial level of the game, and its upbeat sound just never gets old. Fitting its purpose as the music that plays in Bilbo's hometown, it has a comfortable, familiar feel to it.

youtu.be/hICjXaJ_UzA?list=PLD9 Not going to do another VGM selection right now but this is also another really good one from the same game... don't remember what level it plays in though

@drolltergeist I think you mentioned before that you liked celtic-style music; I'm pretty sure this one is so I thought I might bring it to your attention!

looking at recordings now and oh dear, they did that hobbit video game that we played like a decade and a half ago

...that game had some memorable music. maybe I should vgm-selection-ize it

that feeling when you find a really neat animal and think "oh well it's probably endangered or something, all the good ones are" and then nope!! it's least concern!!

fun fact: etymologically speaking, resurrect just means "get up again"

Oh no, steam sale D: we don't have any money right now

do you get different breeds of steel-type pokemon with different steel compositions?

can you have a purebred ASTM 316 lucario, or a carbon steel mixed breed magnemite

Nachos are basically just taco salad with more tortilla chips and less lettuce.

It feels like they ought to be a good compromise between fitting larger flash chips on them and physical size of the card, but I guess they failed before that became a thing worth caring about

what happened to mini SD cards anyway, and why did they disappear when both micro and regular stuck around?

the solid programming of old video games like pokemon and zelda 2 is really damn impressive considering how completely broken they are. you can play through those games in their entirety and never encounter a single glitch, and yet if you know what to do you can rearrange reality by shuffling items around in your pack or by going into a door that doesn't exist
