reminder that Gregor Samsa’s first thought to his kafkaesque metamorphosis was “aw shit I still have to go to work”

I’m sorry did you just refer to the metamorphosis in the book Metamorphosis written by Franz Kafka as “Kafkaesque”

I mean is there a better way to describe it than the word literally invented to describe it specifically?

“now with US troops occupying Washington DC it could turn into a quagmire like all our other military interventions. we’ll probably have to have troops in DC for a decade or more i have no doubt the US military will be able to hold the capital city but can their occupation troops win over the hearts & minds of the Flyover Tribal Areas? track record not so good”

— Weather Duck (via arcticdementor)

The subtle issue is “This but unironically” because a third of America now considers all future elections invalid and successfully stormed the Capitol Building.

I don’t know what follows, but it’s not peaceful transitions of power.

I agree that tumblr is objectively the best social media right now but we CANNOT let this go to our heads. If we act like this site is anything more than trash our hubris will lead to tragedy

I truly believe what the video game industry needs is to bring back the aesthetic sensibilities of mid 1990s JRPGs. An epic tale of sacrifice, betrayal and true love, culminating with the heroes murdering God and shattering His throne, starring a pirate, a cowboy, a sexy librarian, and this little Pikachu-looking fucker, and – this is key – played 100% straight, without the faintest hint of self-awareness nor irony.

Also everyone has queer vibes

The male lead is described as a heavily armoured knight, but his actual character model is wearing dancer’s tights with gauntlets, boots, and shoulder pads on top. It’s unclear where he keeps his sword when he’s not using it. His hair is magnificent.

Honestly my favourite thing about WeWork is how it perfectly encapsulates the modern conceit that “tech,” in the investment/startup sense, isn’t so much a thing that involves actual tech or STEM shit as it is a sort of humanist prosperity gospel. it’s like, Acute California Syndrome

Looking at WWII bombers and I’m struck by how Wikipedia recently has a lot about development and procurement programs for military planes and honestly its striking to realize that casuals caught up with WWII say defensive armament placement analysis circa Quake III and bombing analysis circa like Warcraft III (and logistically, the dissemination of the M:tG concepts of “card advantage” and the “mana curve” were like Scramble for Africa-era) and strategy circa like 2008 WoW theorycrafting

Does give some context to how so many 1990- era personal computing and table games were like, simulations of major war theatres for people who’d been Navy engineers

the flame sword

1. the flame sword may be ignited quickly, like a gun shot, or slowly, to build menace.
2. the flame sword must be lit in dark places, or where the air is already thick with smoke.
3. the flame sword will burn yellow-white, fading to red in the smoke; or blue, fading into green or magenta; or even a brilliant mixture of hot pink and sharp cyan and soft yellow and electric blue.
4. the flame sword is the brightest thing you can see.
5. the flame sword may billow, or lick, or waft; but in all cases, the fire trails the motion of the sword.
6. the flame sword produces sparks.
7. the flame sword may be swung in a wide arc, or thrust forward like a white-hot needle.
8. the flame sword is rarely still… and when it is held to guard, the flames might die down to a thin hot line, so that its light can catch the intense gaze of the swordswoman, all coiled with potential.
9. the flame sword should be swung quickly, but stop just as abruptly; the swordswoman must hold a powerful pose as the fire carries her motion.
10. the flame sword should leave a trail, still sizzling, on the ground.
11. the flame sword casts light everywhere; it glitters off skin and shines in metal.
12. the flame sword is composition, timing, lighting, acting and animation… and, second to all of these, a sword that’s on fire.
13. the flame sword should be a message; that message is ‘power’!

hey this “occult” language people are using is an African language called Amharic which people have used as a generic “curse” language for a while, it’s really disrespectful and portrays African cultures and languages as demonic.

wait till you hear about how people use Latin!
