in which a wigglytuff is having a "capitalism, ho!" moment, unfortunately; cw also for mental health/ableism discussion
so after seeing it floated here, i'm going to give transcribing on rev.com a go
i know full well there is NO way i could actually make a proper career or support myself from this - but
my friends
here's what they don't tell you about being disabled:
IT'S FUCKING BORING.
Okay, today's theme is "true facts that sound fake". I'll start:
The opossum is the only marsupial native to North America. It's also unusual in that it is the only mammal with an odd number of nipples: 13. It also has more teeth than any other North American mammal (50), and more incisors (10; everyone else maxes out at 6).
So basically it's this big furry weirdo with an odd number of nipples and way too many teeth. LOVE.
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz honestly after a friend introduced me to the genre there's about a 90% chance* that if you put your ear up to my head like listening to the ocean in a seashell, you'd hear vaporwave/city pop, and i wouldn't have it any other way
on that power alone it gatecrashes all other genres
*the other 10% is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NWeKB8n7qw
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz i may not be able to click the thing to vote but running in the 90s for sure
but
BUT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPtJy0kOISU selfish high heels is superior to them both and that's facts
additional real spicy opinion:
kinda want one of my celeb crushes to end up cast as Captain Vimes in it too
like. hugh jackman in dad bod mode. or fuckit maybe idris elba. vimes don't gotta be white, just human, eh
no idea for who should play carrot but that's gotta be suitably hunky or else i riot
spicy opinion for today:
despite enjoying gaiman stories and being a discworld fan i've just never really enjoyed good omens and can't get into it
and i would gladly trade the good omens adaptation that is coming out for an adaptation of Guards, Guards! or Monstrous Regiment with similar high interest and production values
we don't need text formatting because we have unicode babey
unicode font hackery is
✅ compatible with pretty much everything except on some devices where it just displays as white squares but thats good enough
✅ completely unintuitive so you can prove that you're cooler than other people by knowing how to make the 𝔀𝓪𝓬𝓴𝔂 𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓵𝔂 𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼
✅ not actually formatting at all
✅ check it out you can do 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝 and 𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐 and even 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉 all using different character sets meaning that some devices support some and not others
✅ hey people with screen readers? get fucked
but tbh i feel like the college experience in sciences is that in middle school and high school, it's all figured out
then you get to college and actually?
actually????
nobody knows anything! grad students are weeping! half this shit's on fire! oh god! oh fuck! oh god!!
you just crack through that crust of torched sugar on the creme brulee of knowledge to realize it's all liquidy nonsense that gordon ramsay is about to get very upset about because it never set properly
whew lord i'm getting weepy about my favourite memorial statue that means i should go to bed
...said statue incidentally is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_to_the_laboratory_mouse
i'm not going to say the people who made it are entirely angelic and kosher, but as a biologist who understands how unfortunately necessary medical animal testing is, i think it's still good and right to recognize the sacrifices made to get that knowledge and to remember them with solemn appreciation
@fishboi@todon.nl @eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz this is a good point but honestly as a confirmed dumbass
if games do this, we gotta also demand a "write on map"/"set map note waypoint" function
otherwise it honestly verges into unplayable for me, trying to hold absolutely *everything* in my head with no clear function for putting the information somewhere in the game for me to remember later
