Dropping this without context

I feel this in my bones.

Fair, that’s just a lot of work for me, when I mainly fall back on ramen as a simple dish I can make with little time investment. It’s perfect for those 9-10 hour work days when I don’t have any leftovers.

I’m usually cooking the egg with the ramen, rather than separately. Crack it in after giving the noodles 2-3 minutes, boil it another 2-3 minutes, et voilà.

I am almost continuously reminded of a tumblr post I saw about a college professor that brought in a pencil with googly eyes, did a little voice, then snapped it in half and told the class (of whom at least some gasped in shock) “we’re at that stage of AI right now”. And that post was years ago now. I know people are apes that pack bond and imprint on anything, but it’s getting ridiculous how many people don’t recognize it.

This is the way. ⊹╰(⌣ʟ⌣)╯⊹

I used to think I needed to get around to playing the original Silent Hill at some point, but within the last few years, I realized I really don’t. I am not a fan of horror games and even if I just count emulation and ROM hacking, I have enough content to last me several lifetiimes, I’m good without playing a game that I only thought I needed to play because everyone says it’s a classic.

(There’s a lot more to add to this conversation but I’ll cut myself short to not have a wall of text.)

There’s a weird kind of poetry seeing this post next to one from c/greentext.

What an impeccable combination of image with username

I’ve not seen a whole lot of TNG so I’ve only managed to hear about that episode thru this exact kind of talk – I know I need to look it up and I’m glad you mention the episode title b/c I don’t think I’d heard it before.

As a minor language nerd, I would like to posit a 2.5, if you will: memery as a dialect and individual memes as bespoke words.

Like, consider this sequence of emoji: 🌍 🧑‍🚀 🔫 🧑‍🚀

Chances are, you’re familiar enough with memes that you can infer the meaning of an English sentence which has nothing to do with the actual representational meaning of those emoji independently. By placing them in this specific context, I have communicated a meaning beyond their intended representation.

By a similar token, different specific memes under the same genre (e.g. Gigachad) may be equated with synonyms, and different contexts may call for different “words” (i.e. individual memes).

I pray Lord Apollo is kind enough to me for that to make sense because Hypnos is buzzing 'round my head and it’s getting hard to think

I think that’s a (very slight) exaggeration but I recognize Pokémon is babby’s first RPG which is why I generally don’t count the series when discussing RPGs.

In the case of the topic at hand, tho, all the Pokémon games I’ve played have encouraged the use of status ailments against bosses and has hard caps on stat boosts that are easy to wrap your head around.

Hate to agree with an anon but that was always my exact experience playing any RPG outside of Pokémon. Between that and not having any indication how much stat-boosting moves actually boosted my stats, it trained me to never use anything other than offensive skills.

…Yeah, okay, username checks out.

XD Haven’t laughed that hard at a tubmlr screenshot in a while, thank you.

That’s kinda funny for me as a former pony fan because that exact bit got turned into a super-popular animation that at least cemented itself in the brains of all my friends.

Thanks, I’ll look into that.

Personally, as someone who has had to follow friends and friend groups through Skype, Telegram, and Discord when I didn’t have any of those things, I am perfectly fine making them do the fucking legwork to follow me this time.

FWIW, I joined that instance because it had the only RWBY community I could find.

(Also love the FLCL avatar)

Yeah, I’m new (also driven from Reddit after the recent changes) and within like a week I signed up for three different servers, and I’ll probably sign up for more if I can figure out how to navigate servers well enough to find what I’m looking for.

It’s actually rather nice to have separate accounts for different use cases and not mix, say, a memery and general discussion account with an art account.

This is reminding me so hard of an old webcomic I read like a decade ago about this witch girl who fell off her world and discovered hers was one of many flat, triangular worlds in the cosmos but I cannot for the life of me find it.
