i went with a they/them tiefling druid with a criminal background and i’m gonna play them as a slightly feral fairly antisocial hoarder who is food and money-driven. raccoon vibes. unfortunately you can’t wild shape into a raccoon but you can wild shape into a badger or a cat which is pretty close. headcanon is that when i close the game they turn into a raccoon.
You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.
Dogs.
I don’t even have to do this one because PETA did it first by insinuating domestication is inherently abusive.
The sky
Used to trick and mock anyone who asks “what’s up?” A bullying tactic.
Super Mario Bros.
Stereotypes Italians, enforces the narrative of women who need men to rescue them, and encourages violence against turtles.
John Mulaney
He was over on the bench and he SAW what they did to Tyler and he did NOTHING.
Omfg
Pokemon
Making your pets fight repeatedly is animal abuse.
OP
OP literally argued that dogs were problematic but go off I guess
This is a work of art and should be sent to everyone as soon as they sign up for Tumblr so they know what they’re walking into
can’t tell at a glance who’s online right now and what they’re interested in
literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.
i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog
can’t tell who someone used to be if they change their username
squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped
ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you’re trying to scroll past ones youve seen before
people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them
makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear
list of problems solved by removing icons:
?????
who the fuck was asking for this
ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way
here’s some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere
the two most popular responses to this:
“oh thank god i have xkit/it hasnt rolled out to me yet.” i regret to inform you that you are not insulated from this, because it isn’t actually a full roll-out…yet. as an A/B test, they only roll it out to half the users and compare the two groups. and it happens with or without xkit. if you don’t see it yet you’re just one of the lucky ones who is part of the other group for now.
“they DO have a feedback form! it’s in the support ticket!” yeah, i know, and i used it, but it’s buried under like 3 menus, none of which make it clear you can/should fill out that form for things other than bugs. i guess i should have said “they should have an *easy to find* feedback form that is actually specific to updates and not bug reports” but i didnt really think that was necessary.
anyway if yall want to send feedback about how much it sucks you go to help>contact support>choose a category>feedback
I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.
It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
This for real. Alllllllll of this. All of these sounds are the way different people speak based on their emotions. A snarl is not going GRAWR like a dog. It’s so furious their teeth are bared, every syllable sharp and cutting and loud. A growl is lower, the words dangerously rough and hot, a warning.
It’s the same with softer sounds. A purr is that low, gravelly mmmmm noise of pleasure, or words warm and smooth as melted chocolate. When someone chirps, it’s bright and happy and quick, the syllables a little clipped in excitement. Panting is not tongue lolling like a dog; it’s a heaving chest and words that are half-breath.
This is what language, what storytelling IS. It’s symbolic, it’s imagination, it’s metaphor and analogy and simile. Strip that away and all you have is textbook descriptions, which are of course useful when reading actual textbooks, but far less entertaining when reading a goddamn fictional story.
vtubers aren’t very popular on tumblr because their main role in society, in function if not in intention, is to give lonely guys a view into the lives of very weird neet women who turned their terminally online lifestyles into a career. Tumblr however is already 80% terminally online weird neet women but the corporatism doesn’t stick because we do it for the love of the game
Titanic: Project 401 allows you explore a jaw-droppingly authentic recreation of the RMS Titanic, from first class all the way down to the engine rooms.
I say this with affection: the Honor & Glory guys are absolutely fucking insane. They’re going on? Eight years of work now? With the eventual end goal of recreating every inch of Titanic in painstaking historic detail. There used to be an actual game planned for the environment as well but I think at this point it’s 100% about the ship.
Godspeed, you lunatics. Hopefully my computer will be able to handle the end product.
