Re: archeops imitating voices: what if it learned to say cute things like “hello”, “wanna treat?” And “I love you”

Ough.. I feel like having a large & dumb bird be able to talk could backfire in some ways

#hoof draws #mailbox #on the topic of archeops being able to imitate noises like a parrot #<--tangentially . this makes me think of one of those scenarios where #it's been a few years and emmet makes friends with someone like e|esa/eve|ynn after ingo's disappearance #but doesn't tell them he has/used to have a twin . so they only start to figure things out once they come over a few times #and realize someone else used to live in the apartment #like. evelyn comes over and gets left alone with archie while emmet makes dinner or smthn #and archie starts dropping voicelines that are very clearly from someone else wishing emmet a good day at work #. archie enabled environmental storytelling

if you feel guilty about something you love because it contributes to capitalism:

don’t.

capitalism needs you to be tired. it needs you to be so exhausted that you can barely think of anything outside of work, so that you can’t imagine how things could be better.

if you do things you love, you keep that energy for yourself. that’s energy you can turn outwards. that’s energy you can use to grow and help others and be human.

obviously we wanna harm reduce. obviously in an ideal world, that thing you love has zero negative impact. but you can’t work towards that world if you aren’t working on liberating yourself first.

#clearly there’s limits #like if your hobby is drilling for oil or exploiting poor people this post does not apply #but i find myself beating myself up for relatively the tiniest things #if i abstain from a takeout coffee i use one less plastic cup #but if i allow myself that coffee im in a better state of mind to campaign against plastic production #you feel me? #leftism #environmentalism #affirmation #activism #eco anxiety

Clive my wheelchair cannot go up the stairs Gimme Ramp

Yes, this is... an ongoing effort. Unfortunately, you can't just build a ramp directly next to the steps. For the obvious problem of "that's a 45 degree incline, you will go rolling right back down it."

We have been pushing to put a ramp wrapping gradually around the elevated land Naranja-Uva is on, but that also has its drawbacks, namely that it would be still incredibly long (though better than 'nothing but service Gardevoir') and require some heavy demolitions. And collide with the stairs somewhat.

As such, we have also been considering cutting into the ground below the courtyard to create an elevator that might bring students directly into the school. But that, too, is a project with some controversy about it ("destroying historical land", and yet again, heavy demolition), and high costs the board enjoys griping about, though the endeavor is perfectly worthy.

If you are interested, @accessabilityanon has done quite incredible work in the area; we have been making progress within the Academy (with a new lobby elevator) but yet struggle with the exterior. Or rather, differing opinions about what to do with the exterior. For now, stopgaps are unfortunately the most agreed-upon alternative, so we have Gardevoir capable of teleporting students to the highest level of the steps and back and, for those more uncomfortable with teleportation, accessible Flying Taxis.

You, individually, do not have the power to save Palestine.

#it's not wrong to tell people this #i need to do a longer post at some point about how many years i spent making peace with the role of the individual in environmental activis #and how limited it is and how alienated people get from protest when you focus on the individual #only to see an entirely new explosion of individualistic thinking about pro-palestine protest #people apparently attempting to take an entire international conflict on their individual shoulders #it's very sad and alarming to me #the people i've seen calling this out the hardest have ocd like i do so that is clearly a factor #ocd around morality and activism is underdiscussed i find #anyway you are not bad for still living the day to day and not hating yourself

idk one fun quirks about my specific brand of brain snakes is that I get Incredibly guilty anytime I mention being Hispanic/Latino/Chicano/whatever because it's stealing valor.... from my own blood family.

#mu brain snakes are colorists #i wasn't allowed to learn my mother tongue i have permanent disabilities from environmental racism poisoning the water i grew up with #my mother had to change her name to be taken seriously and my sister is dead because of a racist nurse not listening to #a brown woman when she said something was wrong. #But im realy pale so clearly its race faking.

been thinking a lot about this specific phenomenon that's hard to put into words (so bear with me) where the technological limitations of the medium at the time a work of art was created are sometimes exactly the thing that helps lend it the atmosphere that makes it so compelling. and how sometimes superior technology is, despite the progress that's been made in so many ways, entirely unable to capture that same atmosphere for a multitude of reasons.

like, there's that brian eno quote ("whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature") that gets at some of what i mean, but not all of it.

i'm thinking about video games in particular, the way the forward march of technology does open new avenues but at the same time it inherently disappears older technologies and their aesthetics in the process, which is so tragic to me. and of course there's always nostalgia-driven attempts to recreate them, but those recreations inherently can't ever be entirely faithful to the specific charm of those older technologies and their drawbacks. (pixel art is a good example because sure, there's pixel art games being made now, but on modern LCDs they just won't ever look the same as they did on fuzzy CRTs; the fuzziness of the image made the pixel art come alive in a way modern TVs just can't.)

and this is extra amplified if games are set in a specific real world period or trying to emulate a specific real world aesthetic. because there's a little golden window of time where a game's technical limitations and the resulting art direction, and the period of time the game is meant to be set in, can perfectly compliment each other, like some sort of time prism. and any games made after that point can still do a good job at capturing the aesthetic of the era, but they won't ever be able to harness the inherent authenticity and atmosphere that e.g. noughties games and their 5 polygons can lend to a game set in the noughties.

there's no real solution to this and i'm obviously not advocating that we should be stopping any and all technological progress in favour of preserving certain aesthetics in amber, but it's still really melancholy that this is all so transitory. but i guess on the other hand we do get to enjoy those moments when technology and art/narrative can converge in the exact way they need to.

anyway, this was all just a really longwinded way to say that persona 4 is actually the best video game of all time. sorry if you thought this was about literally anything else

#genuinely have SO many thoughts abt the art direction in p4 #the specific flavour of rural late 90s early noughties bleakness it manages to capture SO faithfully #these towns that seem to be perpetually stuck backward in time even if the rest of the world moves on around them #the immense amounts of detail and thought that clearly went into every single part of the environmental design #from the little details on every single set and backdrop to the specific textures they ysed #the contrast between the two incredibly different styles of retro that the game goes for between inaba and the tv world #where inaba is a very earnest straightforward portrayal and the tv world is an exaggerated one #like e.g. the tv world tvs being 'typical' 60s tvs bc that's what most ppl think of when u say retro #whereas you have the clunky 90s CRT version in the protagonist's room in the real world #and how all of this detail and care and forethought just oh so perfectly collides with the ps2 graphics #could write a whole dissertation on this alone fr #and that's just the art style!!!! that's not even getting into the deliberateness and interconnectedness of the writing!!!!! #anyway. don't play p4 it's really bad sorry. like yea its the best video game of all time i did say that it's just also rly rly bad #txt

(okay the crotch sashiko post is making me a little insane bc like. huge love and respect for visible mending but i gotta say i would Not personally wear a pair of pants out in public ft. a swathe of bright yellow Xs drawing onlookers' attention to my groin unless i really and truly had no other option????)

#like maybe some ppl DO feel totally unfazed by that prospect‚ and more power to you if that's you #but it just seems like there's a wide range of possible approaches btwn 'do a bright yellow crotch repair' and 'buy brand new pants'? #and suggesting that ppl‚ say‚ thrift a replacement pair instead of buying brand new ones #or alternatively buy from companies who are working to reduce how much water it takes to produce their denim #(and hang onto the old denim to use for patching future rips in less sensitive areas) #seems like it might be a more plausible approach #for ppl who are trying to mitigate their environmental impact but also‚ you know‚ exist in the ordinary social world #(i mean clearly the BEST approach = 'be tumblr user fourpatch & deploy yr astonishing textile wizardry to produce genuinely subtle mends') #(but like. we cannot all be 4p‚ alas) #anyway. hashtag normieposting i realize #but it just seems 2 me like. probably there are ppl out there who would like to be less wasteful but aren't ready to become full-on hippies #and like probably it would be more useful to present those people with paths that feel possible for them #than to be like 'actually you can totally become a full-on hippie‚ it's great and i recommend it!!' #like. true! but. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

fucked up that this whole thing is more relevant now than it was in 1997 huh.

#did you guys see ppl on twitter saying they added politics in the ff7r bc of the environmental talk #this is so fucking funny. Obviously hardcore fans have been able to therefore pull the #'how to say you never played the original game without saying you didn't play the original game' #i would even say that the remake tries to soften the message a little #if only by softening a bit the branch of avalanche we represent + clearly showing shinra framing us and adding crimes #and like the og was totally supporting avalanche itself but yaknow #it's just so much. #'wow the wokecrowd added politics into this game' play the first 10mins of the OG and listen to Barret or so help me i'll commit crimes #ichablogging ffviirg

Is anyone irked by that weird line in season 2 about Sam’s family being rich from bitcoin investments..?

#ray rants and junk #personal #Ted lasso #like #wtf was that all about?? #like I kinda assumed that Sam’s family were wealthy #like that makes sense to me because clearly Sam is quite educated and all that and he seems like he came from money even before he became- #a professional footballer #that all makes sense #but like #bitcoin??? #of all things??? #I assumed that his parents/family were like business people back in Nigeria?? #and it’s ESPECIALLY weird coming from his father who is clearly very aware of environmental issues and stuff like that #you’d think he’d be super against bitcoin for obvious reasons?? v #it’s also interesting when Sam says that thing in season 1 about JKR and how he admires that she’s rich because of her achievements and not- #because of who her family is or whatever and then they just drop the fact that Sam’s family own bitcoin #yeah idk…

i'm so bad at writing action scenes...

#stuff sarah says #somehow the trials in a certain video game cringe fic were way easier to write #i think bc it's emotion based? like everyone's supposed to be so scared and fighting for their lives with no weapons #and i can do that. i can write fear. i can write getting impaled on a meat hook repeatedly #guns???? mutated evil scientists????????? environmental explosions???? #girl help........ #and of course i'm writing abt the gun evil mutated guy and explosions games... #while i would love to write 50k of people just crying and talking about feelings. that's not realistic to canon #nor is it actually the story i wanted to tell either. i wanted peril. #i'm just used to a lot more dialogue and less action in my peril i guess #but i'm doing my best #i should read things that have action in them for research while i edit i think #or oh nooo replay the games over and over again (actually i can't do that bc i already do) #(and clearly it didn't make me better at writing these scenes)

I am not sure my profs will like it or get it and I’m nervous!

#I very clearly explained what I was doing here in my proposal and I’ve spoke to all of them individually about it but still! #it’s hard to critique a ‘story’ played out on a computer #the piece is literally digging through the files on someone’s computer to get a feel for who they are #environmental storytelling mixed w like a point and click adventure/puzzle video game #m #my post #made a fake calendar too and a bunch of random browser bookmarks #I could not for the life of me get the email to work tho #and I made a fake AOL address and signed it up for a bunch of garbage and everything :( #something about the outgoing mail server not connecting idk I didn’t have anymore time to spend on it #oh I also have poetry I wrote and some fake journaling and the audio piece from my last installation

The first couple of times Silver went to the past it was coming from a fiery hellscape future, so he would've been somehow adapted to air with lots of smoke and several toxic gases. And since allergies tend to develop when you're never exposed to something, imagine the pollen allergies. Clear air but it's full of plant matter pfffffff

I like to think Silver joined the world of the past for real in late summer, when the pollen are less bad... so imagine his surprise when literally three-fourths of a year later, suddenly the very air around him is being all evil and attacking his airways for no reason. Scandalous! Outrageous!! Sonic meanwhile takes one look at his teary red eyes and running nose and comes back five minutes later with a hearty dose of antihistamines XD

Poor Silver would be even more miserable because he loves seeing the gorgeous flowers and new greenery after winter, so it's especially heinous that those are trying their hardest to keep him away through sheer bad luck. It's a good thing allergy medicine seems to be effective, so he can still enjoy everything in all its glory! But he quickly learns to always keep a package of tissues on his person, just in case he ends up in a bout of endless nose-blowing. And he might be just a little bit relieved when summer rolls around and the pollen become less bad!

#Sonic canonically has hay fever so he'd know how to deal with it #silver the hedgehog #I guess he'd do fine in a large city with lots of pollution then; at least when it comes to the lack of air quality lol #and he'd also know how to deal with urban heat islands during summer #clearly Silver is most capable of tackling the environmental causes and consequences of climate change
