“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Taliesin, talking about Percy and Vex in interviews: *laughing* Oh, Laura just decided we were going to be married on graph paper and I went along.
Taliesin at the table, when a villain is hurting Vex: I am going to commit a MURDER.
I think one of the greatest appeals of Dishonored 2 is how tactile this whole game is.
everything makes these perfect little noises, from the menu screen to typewriters to walking sounds. everything is so alive. the slight camera wobble as you walk. if you play with a controller, the perfectly put vibrations here and there.
it invites to explore, if only just for that.
If anyone's following me who has seen the: they brought dire wolves back articles.
Please understand this is a drastic failure of scientific reporting. What they have done is impressive science, but they have not brought dire wolves back.
They found a few gene fragments that were in dire wolves and manufactured similar in wolves.
To quote a reddit thread: it's like putting a few words of hamlet in another play and claiming its hamlet.
We have put jellyfish genes in cats to make them glow: those cats are not now jellyfish.
It's impressive to be able to identify and insert the genes like that, but these are not dire wolves and, to be frank, do not even resemble current models of dire wolves.
I want to make this clear. It is an impressive scientific achievement.
But the communication here is near outright fraudulent in my opinion.
I am rather dissappointed and can already feel the numerous convos I'm gonna have to have with random people online about this.
I hate being a killjoy.
Hating yourself is harming others. Like, almost always. Even if you don’t mean it to.
Loving yourself enough to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself is what makes you more capable of helping others and doing good.
You’re not going to shame and hate yourself into being a better friend, a better spouse, better parent, better person, better service to the world. That’s done through love and gentleness. I promise.
And I know it’s work! There is no switch to flip that takes you magically from self-hatred, self-denial, insecurity, and depression to self-love, self care, gentleness, and joy! It takes work and, for many people, seeking outside help! But it’s worth it worth it worth it, not just for you, but for everyone around you.
Hate how lighting a candle does wonders to my mood. Like wowwww. Grug like fire? Grug not sad anymore because Fire in Cave? Wow. Real predictable of Grug.
