I'm sure a discussion of the reason for the disappearance of adventure games in favor of RPGs would be fascinating.

Rules: answer 17 questions and tag 17 people you want to get to know better

I was tagged by @lacefuneral and @subliminalheadspace

Nickname: My parents/grandparents call me Mew, and my friends call me Swamp Witch. My SO isn't really a nickname guy but sometimes he calls me a smol peanut or a chicken nugget.

Zodiac sign: Cancer

Hogwarts house: I never read Harry Potter cuz my mom thought it would turn me into a witch but GUESS WHO'S KIND OF A WITCH WITHOUT ANY HARRY POTTER INFLUENCE MOM. anyway my youngest sister who was allowed to read Harry Potter and is not a witch says I'm a Hufflepuff.

Height: 5'1" I am a wee lass

Last thing you googled: "xkcd Bobby Tables" lol

Song stuck in your head: Lay Me Down by In This Moment

Following: 298 Followers: 91 but most of em are probably bots from Ye Olden Tymes when Tumblr was just pr0nbots

Amount I sleep: It varies WILDLY. I normally sleep around 8 hours like a Regular People but if I get that too much I just. Stop sleeping properly. And get like 4-5 hours a night until I hate myself.

Lucky numbers: idk but 13 and 31 make me feel spoopy so I'm going with those

Dream job: if I didn't love my current job (teaching dance to the childrens) I absolutely would not be doing it bcuz it pays basically nothing lol. So I'd say my current job but making like a lot of money doing it.

Wearing: a really really old Evanescence shirt that used to glow in the dark

Favorite songs: heer comes the Song Dump!! some of my all time forever favorites are Nothing Else Matters by Apocalyptica, Here Come the Vultures by Delain, Jane Doe and Hand of Sorrow by Within Temptation, Dark Chest of Wonders and The Islander by Nightwish, Night Witches by Sabaton, 100 Years by Florence and the Machine, Tik Tok by Kesha, and Rose Colored Boy by Paramore

Favorite instrument: love me a good cello

Random fact about me: I can wiggle my ears. Makes my face twitch like Lore's tho. It unsettles children.

Favorite author: as a kid it was Eoin Colfer, CS Lewis, Lemony Snicket. I don't really read books much anymore cuz if I do I get IMMERSED and I forget to eat and sleep and cannot find joy in anything except the book. It's A Lot so I just have a hard time committing.

Favorite animal noise: when cats go "brrrrp?"

Aesthetic: spooky enchanted forest. Pirates n witches n fairies n elves n that kinda shit. So basically Divinity Original Sin (which is a game series I recommend to pretty much everyone and I WILL infodump about it if asked)

I was slow af to actually fill this out so I think everyone I talk to has been tagged? If we don't talk yet and u wanna do it just message me or whatever and we will become BEST FRIENDSSSSZZZZz

For the IPv6 map just imagine the XP default desktop picture.

Map of the Internet [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

Map of the Internet The IPv4 Space, 2006This chart shows the IP address space on a plane using a fractal mapping which preserves grouping--any consecutive string of IPs will translate to a single, compact, contiguous region on the map. Each of the 256 numbered blocks represents one 8 subnet (containing all IPs that start with that number). The upper left section shows the blocks sold directly to corporations and goverments in the 1990's before the RIRs took over allocation.
