What people don’t tell you about watching shows is that after you finish watching a show there’s no more show for you to watch. Think about that.

Bitchy take incoming: "I'm against the existence of any state" and "actually I believe in dismantling all states" are essentially useless positions that add almost nothing to any political discussion except to allow the speaker to deflect certain types of criticism and project an image of being committed ideologically while dealing in unserious hypotheticals.

I like everyone I follow but some of you are pretty silly sometimes. You can feel this way if you want to and maybe on some large theoretical level it's reasonable but when speaking of actual policy and political action it is worse than useless to say "Actually I don't think any state should exist."

They do, and that's simply not changing.

so no streams from Cellbit this week in lieu of OPQ preparations, and Roier probably won’t be on qsmp much either bc of mc extreme, as already discussed

SO

i’m taking this as q!Cellbit crawling into bed alongside q!Roier

it’s been over two weeks, but it’s not like they’ve made any major progress towards getting the eggs back, right? he knows that. and they need each other more than ever now. so a few days of sleeping, maybe a week or so, just to escape it all, that won’t hurt, right? at least he can hold his husband close to his chest in hopes he can feel even in sleep that he’s not alone, and maybe when they wake up, the nightmare will be one step closer to over

just a little time to shut out the outside world and get lost in their own

oh fit is absolutely going to be taking at least a week long break starting from new year's eve and pac will come back feeling saudades for him just like fit does whenever pac goes missing for a few days.

2/10 - Naga's birthday coincides with me watching the finale of this show. I miss him already 🐍

Empanada honey... this is gonna be such a depressing stream, she's so traumatised from yesterday and can't talk about it without exposing Tina's secret... I'm gonna miss like 3 hours of this stream in a minute and I don't know what I'm gonna join back into... they better not return to harm or threaten Bagi and Em

I've also been working on a *lot* of new UI elements and mockups lately, here's a few of them! *(please ignore the aseprite font- it's not our actual font in game and looks kinda wonky on the mockups)

(Ignore the totally-normal-mannequin standing in in the place of the player model at the moment.)

Some WIP UI's (the last screen is the current state of the main menu and has our current menu/text font) -@recusantalchemist

i’ve watched the first opla episode and i must say: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I love when I read a book *after* seeing an adaptation and it gives me a new appreciation for the adaptation. Season one of The Expanse follows the plot and major scenes of Leviathan Wakes remarkably closely, and the characters are exactly the same. I’m replaying scenes from the show in my mind. Conversations that weren’t in the show still read in the actors’ voices. I swear I recognized some dialogue. And the changes I did notice (such as where Miller finds Julie Mao in the end, and how the dead man’s switch comes in) made complete sense in smoothing over the transition from page to screen. Fuck Amazon and all that, but the writers and showrunnners of that show should be lauded for their attention and dedication to the source material.

I’m interested to see how that holds up in the rest of the series. I know that the actor playing Alex Kamal left the show for reasons unrelated to the character’s original arc, and I think I know that the books go on longer than the show, so I have a feeling eventually the two will split, but I’m hoping to meet a few more favorite characters before that happens :)

(other books I've read this year)

stuck in clopening hell ….

Update #3 - Battle System pt.2

The player part of the battle menu and more systems have been developed. After all player actions are decided, entities are then called in order of greatest speed stat. A new pointer sprite has also been introduced to the menu.

Do you know any good qsmp lore supercuts? I want to watch more qsmp content (since i've really only been following along with liveblogs; i only really watched wilbur's vods almost up to when the eggs were first supposed to disappear) but there's so much to watch and it doesn't all hold my attention.

^^ this is the official qsmp lore recap channel!! honestly the best source I think you could get they condense so much of it so well. as for more recent stuff they haven't gotten to yet I'd recommend going on twitter (yeah i know I'm sorry 😔) and looking through your language of choices update accounts!! they're all run by official admins and have translated updates on every streamer per day. its a lot of lore but also liveblogging is how most people consume other lore, since there are people constantly streaming on the server. i look through the qsmp tag when i wake up in the morning and get home from school like a newspaper LMAO

typically I'd just suggest the twitter accounts, the recap channel, picking at least 2 or 3 different streamers to watch casually and looking through liveblogs. im a huge charlie guy obviously but I've literally never seen a cellbit stream before despite him being one of my favorite characters, I only know him through other streams and liveblogging. my spanish streamers don't stream on there anymore (cmon mariana and rubius D:) and so i mainly get Spanish updates from Spanish speakers on here!! point is you're doing great already LMAO just watch some of the recaps and look through the update accounts and you'll be fine.

(plus every stream they have to relay old information from one person to another so eventually you will get a lore info dump if you want to or not)
