CRPG dialogue tree essentials:

• Option that looks like it should back out of the current sub-tree, but actually terminates the conversation entirely
  
• Response that exists solely to get you yelled at
  
• Line that’s, like, way more critical of the NPC’s life choices than the clickable text would suggest
• Two identical replies, except for one of them you’re lying
  
• Non-repeatable event flag disguised as routine query about current events
  
• Disconcertingly abrupt sign-off
  
• Errant reference to cut content that will drive you nuts for days until you hit up a walkthrough to find out what you’re missing
  
• That one line there the VA is weirdly intense
• Seemingly innocuous remark with really high skill threshold for no obvious reason
• Rude

Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse is just one giant LGBTQ metaphor

• All of them feeling like they’re the only one in the world/ at the end, describing how ‘it’s nice to know we’re not alone out there’
  
• Miles running home to his dad after realising he’s got Spider-Powers and immediately asking whether he ‘really hates Spiderman’ aka a metaphor for kids tryna come out to their families
• Spidersense is gaydar
• Miles struggling w his identity, wanting to do & be one person but feeling forced into something he’s not
• Every single one of them being a complete fucking disaster, thereby paralleling all LGBT folk ever
  

• That one scene in Miles’ room where they’re all talking abt how being Spiderman comes with a price, then going thru a list of people they’ve ‘lost’ (My uncle, my dad, my best friend etc)- a metaphor for how being LGBTQ can often lead to losing people that you love bc they can’t accept u for who you are
  

This is fine and all, but Spider sense is in no way gaydar.

Yes it is Miles Morales said it himself in Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse

“That’s a funny trick to play on god” is so fucking raw and powerful but it was said by this man in reference to a video game on YouTube

Are you forgetting the fact it was spoken about this wretched spore creation

Some of you have never played Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance or its sequel, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and it shows.

Peter Parker, part of gen z, understanding how bad this country is: god I hate America

Steve Rodgers, literally “Captain America”: god me too

#he was a tiny furious bisexual socialist in the 1930s i mean goddamn#and he woke up almost a century later and found out there are literally *nazis* in america *still* so like Imagine (robotmango)

steve: i punched so many nazis… i spent years punching nazis, i went around the country punching hitler and singing showtunes… how are there still nazis? i kind of died to get rid of nazis and there are still nazis!

bucky: good thing you like punching nazis

steve: it’s the only way i feel alive

my favorite trope is the thing star trek does where when a character lists something and they’ll list real things/people but add 1 thats fictional, like “great writers such as shakespeare, robert frost, edgar allan poe and zaxar the giant rat man“

apparently food inspections stopped bc of the shutdown so things bout to be real fucked up for some of us

“The Food and Drug Administration has stopped routine food safety inspections of seafood, fruits, vegetables and many other foods at high risk of contamination because of the federal government’s shutdown…”

Most companies are probably going to continue their regular food safety procedures, but a few things you can do to reduce some personal risk:

Buy hard, solid veggies and fruits (apples, melons) or ones with rinds (bananas are probably fine). Scrub the peel/rind thoroughly with soap and water before consumption.

The more solid and dense the meat, the less likely it is for contamination to spread very far. Buy your meat in solid cuts, NOT GROUND. Especially not ground chicken rn, salmonella bad.

Cook things thoroughly. Follow guidelines for the internal temperatures meat is supposed to reach and stick to those guidelines. Use a meat thermometer. Make your steaks well done for a while.

I’d stay away from shellfish as a whole if I were you. The diseases you can get from it are some of the nastier ones. No sushi for a while, too. If you have fish, make sure it was frozen following anti-parasitic guidelines and cook thoroughly.

AVOID LEAFY GREENS. This is where we’ve been seeing the most outbreaks lately, so be very careful.

The pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, and the very young are the ones most at risk in an outbreak. If you are in one of these groups, be extremely cautious and avoid soft cheeses and prepackaged deli meats. Check on friends and family in these groups. Report symptoms of foodborne illness to a doctor so they can report to the state health depts that are still running.

Even with these in mind, remember that most outbreaks of foodborne illness are due to things like improper cooking and storage. Stay safe out there, folks 💙

if u ever find a genie and you’re really craving a dessert that looks like this:

do NOT say “i’d like a lifetime supply of raspberry crowns”

while this is, in fact, the name of the pastry, it’s ALSO the name of a species of wasp for some reason. the genie, being a nasty trickster, will no doubt give you a bunch of wasps.

this is an oddly specific post are you ok
