thinking about sexy multisharks....

feeling dysphoric about being stuck with two arms again....

i wonder if i should try playing magic the gathering sometime

it seems like everyone around us at least knows something about it
-F

oh stainless also contains nickel
-F

now, alloy steels are a different story, they're made by adding in stuff to carbon steel, usually some manganese and sometimes chromium (for stainless steel) or vanadium
-F

people think that stuff like wrought iron or cast iron are like, relatively pure iron, and steel is made by carefully adding in stuff

but both of those actually have way more carbon content than even carbon steel

getting pure iron is actually really hard, almost all iron stuff has a significant and uncontrolled amount of carbon in it

carbon steel has a very low and controlled carbon content

it just occurred to me that could also describe the wild arms series, which we also love

although the post-apocalypticness of wild arms is debatable and variable. WA3 is definitely post-apocalyptic, WA1 is definitely not, 2 you could argue either way

also the vampires play a very minor role in most games, at least compared to boktai
-F

metal gear never interested us at all, we don't want military sci-fi stuff

give us post-apocalyptic sci-fantasy spaghetti western with vampires
-F

you know, we probably have the exact opposite experience with kojima games that most people do

we played boktai as a kid and when we saw gameplay footage of metal gear for the first time (which was like, a year ago?) we couldn't stop talking about how much it was like boktai

no one else in the stream chat had ever heard of boktai

"there's a ton of people in the stadium!"
"Oh so it's really empty?"
"no that is literally the opposite of what i said stop being overly literal"
-F

you ever think about how a ton of people is like, a dozen people

@artemis@vulpine.club @packbat @chr Yeah that's what I find a bit of a leap--I suspect some single academic paper is being used as a source for all of those sources, and that paper is either being misquoted or wrong (or *maybe* right but that feels like a real leap of logic)

-F

@packbat @chr i'm having a hard time believing that the "testicle" sense comes from "witness"; that feels like a really tenuous link

it could be a case of unrelated morphemes converging into homographs though
-F

is it just something our brain made up or is it actually true that the word "testify" shares an etymology with "testicle" and originated from a custom of swearing on one's genitals
