here's also the blank without the writing on it, just in case uhhh... anyone in the #splatoon2 / #splatoon tags need

the 'you stop that' velma but with a splattershot and Pissed Off

teams where everyone is running missiles and spams them constantly in splatoon:

FIRST SPLATOON BATTLE I GET INTO IS A TEAM THAT'S PLAYING FOR THEIR 100X STREAK AND WE LOSE BY 20 POINTS

(i'm glad i came in 2nd in team tho instead of dead last so i can feel like i did a contribute towards the goal instead of dooming them lmao)

it's time................. splatoon time..........................

since the last splatfest in #splatoon2 is upon us, in the spirit of goodwill to all, may i remind/gift everyone with this playlist i made https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAOfbOmUUq1QbIdZosy90xVqZGyYdkj2_ that is full of Extreme Power.

if you define extreme power as "what majima goro listens to at the gym", which of course we do,

honestly though i have only taken one (1) entire class on the subject, growing up in a family of compsci nerds has taught me the two important qualities of any computer science student tackling a problem:

1. willingness to google what the fuck is up (and especially the Exact Error Message)

2. willingness to kluge together a solution (because if it works, it ain't stupid)

this is the internet equivalent of getting medicine in a childproof cap that's also so adultproof that to open it you had to get out your bandsaw and hack it open. i have literally broken it into working.

COMPUTERS, EVERYBODY!

so i found the more permanent solution to my keyboard woes and it is -

get this, y'all. just admire the level of idiotic choices of jury-rigging i and many others have stooped to.

- to keep windows from reinstalling the internal keyboard drivers after you uninstall them so you can use an external keyboard with your laptop, you instead tell it to turn off all the safeties and choose a driver for the internal keyboard that absolutely does not work, fooling it into obsolescence

i actually feel a bit bad because the group wasn't full of bad *people*

but it was obvious that with the average level of skill it was just not gonna happen.

so we parted fond farewells after giving it one last try, wishing each other better luck in future with 20 mins left on the clock

and now, a tragedy in three parts

i will forgive them for the costuming inaccuracies though because Enormous Fucking Hoopskirts are a bit of a hazard to acting sets

i can let a lot of the other historical inaccuracies slide because i sympathize with not wanting to constantly emulate the sexism and racism of the immediate US civil war (even if i feel a little like it's robbing the heroes of being heroic if like... you're saying your heroes are heroic for standing against it, but ....eeeeeveryone else is kinda doing the same damn thing and it's not a problem? like have them actually stand apart)

but that... that bugged me LOL

"i take heroin for my nerves" should not be met with universal "oh that's so bad for you... how sad that doctors still recommend this stuff and it still gets sold... smh 😔 "

NAH EVERYONE'S GONNA GO "OH OF COURSE, WHAT A GOOD TREATMENT YOU'RE ON".

COS IT'S

FUCKING

1 8 6 7

listen i'm sure there were some people sad about it, two years after the civil fucking war ended in america, but MOST people WOULD treat it as A SAFE AND EFFICACIOUS WONDER DRUG because THAT'S HOW IT WAS THOUGHT OF AT THE TIME

at least throw me a bone and have a character objecting to it laughed off by someone as "lol what a conspiracy theory, it's not like heroin could be harmful!" then stare at the camera

ok, "the pinkertons" is not what you'd call good tv.

it's like mediocre at best.

but the historical inaccuracy that got my goat? nearly every character treating heroin in 1867 as this thing which is definitely bad and is known to be bad and it's so tragic that it's still legal when it came up during the course of an investigation
