The struggle between C1 Neuvillette and potential Baizhu rerun…

#i’m guaranteed but don’t know what to go for 😩 #i was away from the game when Baizhu came out and i’ve wanted him since the start #but i have Nahida for Dendro app and the husband Zhongli for shielding… #it would literally be for another (to be) built Dendro unit and another husband #but #C1 Neuvi would be a nice QoL for him and open my team up to hydro resonance netting him more health and ergo more damage #but other than being interrupted every now and again he’s chewing enemies with not even a maxed levelled artefacts set #so i don’t know if it would be somewhat of a waste? #but i really want to C6 him so maybe it’d be better to start that journey now… #urgggg decisions decisions 😩 #personal rambles #neuvillette #baizhu #genshin impact #dying in my indecisiveness

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain

This article by Kate Wagner on her INEOS sponsored trip to the Austin GP at COTA last year was commissioned by Road and Track magazine and then taken down. Presumably because Kate has was pretty staunch in her opinions about what was essentially a paid trip.

It is exactly the kind of thing I have wanted to read about the felt experience of the money business of F1. It doesn't get into technicalities and does not produce any spreadsheets for reference. It's just, her experience of the presence of wealth in the sport.

She starts off by talking about how she has been covering cycling and NASCAR for a while now and both of those, in comparison, are scrappier sports with smaller sponsors and cheaper tickets.

What I also especially loved was how fascinated she was with the cars themselves, and how they seem like a true marvel of human engineering. She almost described the cars like these alien beasts that came into this dimension out of nowhere and were being constantly monitored and dueled with to furnish wins and glory (and shareholder value for sponsors).

I think I always had an understanding of the weird myth making surrounding F1 and the kind of media attention it attracts, but someone like Kate (who I have loved reading for a while now) putting it into perspective really made it click for me. This sport thrives off of the kind of cocoon it has built around it and understands exactly the certain exclusiveness it needs to maintain to keep the story alive.

Anyway, give it a read, especially because Road and Track is trying to bury it to not piss off sponsors.

#I think matt oxley was talking about how motogp has been struggling with money and hence dorna is trying to woo the American market #and the american tech sponsors #but bikes don't require as much data driven performance engineering as f1 cars do #Ducati is probably leading the operation in this regard because they have audi behind them #anyway I knew motogp does not produce the same level of wealth but I still decided to check numbers #Marc's net worth is $25Mn and he is arguably the best driver of his generation with enough sponsors behind him #Max's net worth in comparison is $165Mn easily over 6 times that of Marc #Vale's net worth is $200Mn but he is still somewhat of an outlier because his popularity far outweighs that of motogp itself #Lewis is still around $300Mn and he hasn't even retired yet #Schumacher was around $800Mn #I know net worth is a very stupid number to consider but driver net worth is an easy way to translate impact ig #the current Max to Mercedes rumours caused Merc valuation to rise by $11Bn #Billion! 11 of them! #honestly I frequently get desensitized to money just purely as a number because I am exposed to businesses with large valuations but #I still wanted a moment to reconsider how much money rides on this sport #and how that ties to how rich people function #just made me remember that Ocon is the last driver from a working class background #Fernando and Lewis are the only other with working class beginnings and both of them are over 35 and ridiculously talented #its not a sport for regular people to break into #Vale also started with karts and had to shift to bikes #anyway I love Kate Wagner please read this #and talk to me about money and F1 #Kate wagner #f1 #formula 1 #road and track magazine #lewis hamiton #mercedes amg petronas f1 team #Mercedes #INEOS

positive affirmations. i can be trusted to reinstall stellaris. i will be responsible with easy access to stellaris and sometimes do things other than play stellaris when i have reinstalled stellaris. i will allocate realistic amounts of time to have some fun with the video game stellaris but also stop playing stellaris when i don't feel like playing stellaris anymore instead of continuing to play stellaris when it is unpleasant and want to be doing other things and not playing stellaris. i will be normal about maybe getting one or perhaps two of the dlc on steam winter sale for stellaris to enhance my stellaris experience so that i may enjoy my responsible video game time playing stellaris.

#prattling about the self #we'll see #i want to play it some and i think my brain stickiness has been relatively better this past week or so #closer to my baseline level of brain stickiness i think #so will hopefully be able to uh enjoy in moderation #or nnnggg maybe will grab the sacred and profane dlc for old world #this post also goes for old world lmao but stellaris just tore me to pieces recently and made me frantically uninstall many games #video games are just. guy who doesn't have a good sense of time to begin with engages in the activity that makes time go away #and then expects a net positive experience

rip konpopoz i miss you every day

am i the only one who always saw him as the vacuum cleaner from teletubbies? was it intentional??

#felix net i nika #fnin #i made this in 2 minutes #konpopoz has a special place in my heart #like i know hes free now but the one we knew is dead. he died. he could never truly escape no matter how many copies of himself he made #also remember roznakin? hes still there. still alive in some garbage pile #thats fucked up right?? #i dont know if i want to go down the 'how ai are treated by humans (ibn specifically) in fnin' right now #maybe im just overthinking #but man IBN is not the same without him #like ai in fnin are portrayed as thinking and feeling while also being distinctly Not Human and i like that! thats a nice balance between #'cold unfeeling machine' and 'literally just a human in a metal box' #they are diffrent than us on a fundemental level but that doesnt mean theyre not #yknow. people in a sense #and kosik knows that #..... but its still kinda an iffy topic for me #the more you think about it the weirder this stuff becomes #okay i need to stop thinking about this

isagi repeating rin's words, probably because he's focused so much on rin this match: rin—>kaiser 「お前存在価値ねぇから」 "your existence doesn't have value", isagi—>rin 「お前も—— 存在価値ねぇから!!」 "your existence doesn't have value, either!"; rin—>shidou 「目障りだ」 "you’re an eyesore", isagi 「目障りはマジ同感」 "i agree, he's an eyesore" (it may say something about isagi and his main trait being a total acceptance/adaptation to any situation or person he's up against, but he's so quick to repeat things he hears from other people without necessarily grasping its weight or meaning?)

tokimitsu and nanase "if rin-san sinks, we sink too" applies to isagi and hiori-raichi(-kurona?) as well. if isagi sinks and can't be a hero, hiori-raichi as they exist now are ruined, that's the decision they made when they chose isagi as king, and rin-isagi competing would-be heroes each have their followers who depend on their performances to survive. (that's something kaiser doesn't have to deal with because he comes from beyond blue lock; members of his system have the most job security, simply because they aren't tied to the blue lock's bid survival system.) strangely enough shidou's system doesn't demonstrate any insecurity, maybe because he scored just chapters earlier but it serves to subtly remove shidou from blue lock as an entity as well

overall rin-isagi being a Fight and a Pair this match is visible in spaces big and small… they are a full-blooded blue lock battle. shidou is a weird one though i still don't get what’s up with him

#i mean i get it he's a guy who uses the net as an onahole but on a deeper level i don't get him. #is he not blue lock? is he too blue lock even for blue lock? is he so blue lock he becomes anti-blue lock? or is he a secret something else #who only pretends to be blue lock? i don't get it. the only thing i get is that his cock is massive and he fucked your dad last night #kaiserposting

Lace update!! Completely lost the thread and thus have been freestyling in the sense of basically doing whatever but I’d like to ask: what exactly is the point of self-teaching if not to make a series of increasingly egregious technical errors sjsjsj

#id in alt #to be fair on a technical level we were doomed from the beginning. I wasn’t working parts correctly and was like very well aware (and to be #fair vocal!) about that. but hey look you can see what it is :) #netting #lacemaking #filet lace #embroidery #fiber arts #my work #trypophobia

Viravos is so.

I feel like ive skipped a few stages of... something. Because whenever i look at viravos art, ESPECIALLY ones that like, completely nail Aaravos and his malicious trickster god nature, it evokes this... lowkey genuinely profound feeling in me.

It makes me feel like im a thousand years into the future and theyre being treated like Real myths. Like im part of a world where people will read the old texts the same way people read shit like the Prose + Poetic Eddas and start drawing fanart for like... the Actual Gods and Historical Figures, with an air of tentative respect but still a healthy appreciation for the inherently horny nature of him and Viren's relationship. Because everything is going to become history eventually and they are simply made to be remembered for the tragedy and the theatricality of what they are. Do i make sense?

Everything we've heard and seen about Aaravos up to this point paints him as... Such a Figure. Hes not a character hes a figure hes a symbol he is a MYTHIC GOD on par with the likes of Loki and Hermes and Sun Wukong and Pan, yet with this added note of real ill-will--he feels like he was created by a people to conceptualize and personify the cruel and unfortunate coincidences of the world, the sour ironys and examples of tragic hubris in life.

Hes egotistical and megalomaniacal and domineering and playful and aloof and dangerous and what are you supposed to feel when someone like that makes a game of wrapping humans like Viren around his little finger. Do you understand me? Does anyone hear me?

#tdp spoilers #tdpkin #tdp aaravos #tdp viren #the dragon prince #tdp #all lot of the recent art has seriously been hitting me somewhere special #but always If and Only if the way Aaravos is drawn and posed in a way that implies hes a dom #something about his appearance...he is so so pretty. so so sub-able on a material level. but when people draw him like a dom despite it #it unlocks something. something Big. like pandoras box big. its profound To Me #but maybe im just a gay kinnie i dont know #hes manipulative and its obvious that he is but hes just so compelling that it makes one willing to listen anyway #its about putting on wax wings and flying right up to the clouds to look at the sun up close. to let it kaleidoscope your vision #even though you can feel the drip drip drip of your safety net falling away from you

nothing like adding to a character's motivation, realizing that makes them more morally justified and potentially less complex, and then realizing that means you can make them do worse stuff

#net positive effect on the story after all lol #to be clear: I don't think there's a particular level of moral justification that all characters need #but I usually have a soft target depending on the wip/character #that sweet sweet fine line of ''their guilt is justified but somehow so are their actions'' lol #like bestie you're right that was a bad choice that had bad results for you and other people and it's all your fault #I totally get it tho <3
