Terrible arknights idea# …..213 I think
One day you walked into your office, just to fall through the floor. It turns out that Cemet has been drilling a labyrinthine maze in the guts of Rhodes island. A system of “escape tunnels” it goes without saying that the repair cost is coming out of her paycheck

charles’ recent yt video really cemeted in my head that that boy is a fucking menace
like i can totally see him just snatching a book out of readers hands because he wants attention or just laying directly on top of her
or when they’re with friends he just gradually pulls her closer to him until she’s pretty much just stitting on his lap
- 🪐
PLEASE THE BOY WOULD BE SUCH A MENACE
also he definitely gives the vibes that if yous are fighting over something incredibly stupid and you’re giving him the silent treatment, this boy goes out of his way to hide something you need so that you have to ask him for help
never anything serious, maybe like your book or something and he watches you storm around the apartment trying to find it. and he has this wee smile on his face as you start to get more and more frustrated but he looks like an angel when you eventually turn to him like, “where is it?”
and the wee shit is grinning like, “your payment is one hug and then I’ll help you find it”
and it’s so stupid and it cracks a smile on your lips and it’s usually how these stupid fights end because you hug him and he doesn’t let go and yous eventually talk out whatever was bothering yous before he gives you your book back

With all the stuff about the Titanic submarine I keep thinking about the tourism of sites of mass tragedy and human remains. It’s a really important conversation that I haven’t seen many people discuss outside of historical and final care provider circles.
The Titanic is a grave. The only reason that submarines are even permitted to go through it is because it’s in international waters. Other shipwrecks, like in Lake Superior, are frequently declared grave sites and have restrictions or bans on exploration of their structure. At the very least, there should be incredibly strict restrictions on Titanic exploration. It should not be a tourist destination. There may be still be human remains in certain parts of the ship, and the mud around the ship is filled with corpses. Considering the tragedy only happened 100 years ago, this tourism is very disrespectful. Also, exploration of the Titanic could potentially damage the structure, which would hinder academic research as well as further disrespect the dead and those who remember them. The structure will not be around for much longer.
Tourism of sites of mass tragedy can also be very dangerous. Obviously we know why the Titanic is dangerous, but it goes beyond that. Oftentimes people are not aware of the danger, or are reassured by authority that it is safe. For instance, many people visit active volcanoes, and some have been injured or killed by eruptions. For some, the danger is a feature. There are people who visit Chernobyl, an even more recent site of mass tragedy than the Titanic, despite being aware of the danger of radiation. It’s thrill-seeking, but instead of a rollercoaster people are putting themselves in danger to walk through human remains.
Our natural fascination with mortality leads many to disrespect the dead. The viewing of human remains in museums is a big debate, and I personally don’t think that we should display human remains without previous consent from the person. Imagine how you would feel if yourself or a loved one was displayed in a museum, or had your resting place constantly disturbed by tourists.
It’s also important to note that this type of tourism disproportionately impacts people of colour. Eurocentric society systematically dehumanizes the bodies of POC, and this becomes crystal clear in how we treat their remains. Egyptian mummies remain on display in museums despite the disapproval of many Egyptian people. Many black bodies, particularly of women, have been displayed in museums, such as Saartjie Baartman who was finally buried in 2002. Indigenous human remains are also frequently displayed, and ancient burial sites are viewed as cursed land and get destroyed by construction. The remains of people across Asia have been sold and displayed, with recent displays posing the human remains of Chinese prisoners. Most human bones being sold originated from graverobbing the graves of Asian and Indigenous people. None of these people consented to this treatment, and these communities are still being harmed by the commodification of their dead.
Engaging with sites of mass death needs to be done respectfully. The dead deserve our care.
It’s natural to be curious about tragedy and death, and engaging with our own mortality can be healthy. There are ways to engage with these topics respectfully. Many online resources are available to learn about death, with my personal recommendation being the youtube channel Ask a Mortician. Visiting cemeteries is another great way to engage with death, so long as you abide by the rules and have good intentions. There are some great documentaries about instances of mass death, with many available for free on youtube. You can visit designated memorials of the sites. The Titanic itself has a section in a graveyard in Halifax. I also recommend donating to and supporting the efforts of communities to have their human remains and cultural artifacts repatriated.
Sites of mass death need to be treated with the same respect as cemeteries. They are important and full of education, but we need to remember that these are real people. The dead are not fantastical oddities; they are us.

Any chance youll be updating your older games so theyre compatable with newer mac versions? Fell in love with Cemeter Mary and got very excited when I realized you had a whole bunch of games with these characters- only to findout most of the other ones use rpgmaker, which is no longer compatible with mac bc apple is a bullshit awful company that doesnt actually care about its users and wants us to be completely disconnected with the rest of the online world :,)
Totally get it if not- I know there are ways to make rpgmaker work with newer mac editions, but ive heard its hard asf to do so. Again, fuck apple. Great games also
Ahhh yeah, I'm sorry about that! :( I haven't looked into any methods myself that I could do on my end (I didn't even know there was any!) but it's something I could try looking into later if I have the time.
As you said though, it's a lot of stuff on apple's fault and while I like to try making my games as accessible as possible, there's not much I can do when it's the mac operating system that won't cooperate
