I’ve Been A Half Life Fan Since I Was A Kid In The 2000s And I Have Never Once Had Any Issue With Skibidi

I know writers who take the time to edit their rants before publishing them, and they're all cowards. Fresh off the print, here's my longform view on some of the major takeaways from this presidential election

5 Theses on the 2024 Presidential Election

So, what happened?

Shortened, my argument is:

Inflation is the primary explanation for Trump's victory

Joe Biden's initial insistence on running is also important

Third party and write-in voters did not decide this election

The Democrats should stop taking voters of color for granted

"Never Trump Republicans" are not a real voting bloc

I hope everyone will read this and share it. I posted the full piece. Hamza Howidy is a Palestinian from Gaza City. He is an accountant and a peace advocate. I follow Hamza on X and his tweets are very important. Unfortunately, he is being blocked. In his words, “But the protesters aren’t interested in peace. Some of the groups have been blocking Palestinian peace activists like me—and I am from Gaza, the very place they claim to care about! Instead of blocking peace activists, they should be inviting us to join these protests and guide them in the right direction—a place without hatred with a focus on calling for the release of the hostages who have been held captive by Hamas for more than 210 days.”

Deconstructed Damsel has power that The Apotheosis can scarcely dream of. She only wants what makes you happy, and as such, she is the proverbial genie of the lamp. You could wish for the most terrible thing you can think of and she would do it, unflinching. There are no limits to her kindness, and no limits to her sadistic cruelty.

Fear The Damsel

Blacktabby games....why does Deconstructed have the intro you gave the Spooky bitches! (Nightmare, Wraith, Burned Grey, Spectre)

What are you implying about this absolute Cardboard Cutout of a vessel?

i'm honestly still kind of floored by how well these characters line up with one another.

"I think I have decided on a name for my little princess"

"She shall be named 'Zelda'"

"Huh?"

"After me?!"

"Of course"

Urgent Appeal for HelpGazaChildren: Help refugees flee to Khan Younis!

Because of the looming invasion and brutal bombing throughout the most densely populated area in Gaza, Rafah, many refugees are looking to evacuate to Khan Younis!

The bombing is random and even the areas not included in the evacuation notices are bombarded. Many refugees are asking Hussam for funds to help them evacuate to Khan Younis to help keep their families safe.

The above is a screenshot of a facebook post from someone in Rafah. A tent can be as much as $700 and the transportation costs anywhere between $250-$400 per family. This cost is primarily for gas alone!!

Please donate so that people may be able to evacuate while also being able to afford basic necessities.

Even if you're unable to donate, please share this post and the fundraiser even outside of tumblr and on other platforms! This is incredibly urgent!!

Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

I've been playing beat saber for exercise some recently and am rapidly realizing that oh. beat saber tracks can be an artform. dance choreography with more restrictions I guess? (except it's one that's like, an experience you, the "dancer," are having while it's happening, unexpected or emergent moves can surprise the "dancer" and I don't know that that happens quite the same way with choreography?)

First thing that got me thinking in this direction was, there's one song called "spinning eternally" that, for one section, uses a combination of notes and obstacles positioned such that the easiest most fluid way to clear it is to spin your hands in circles. It doesn't have to tell you to do it, you just are naturally led to do it by positioning and momentum.

And then, just now, I just did two different fan-made tracks for What's Up Danger (the song from Into the Spiderverse) that both try to make the player move like Spiderman using different but overlapping techniques. They both heavily used those big transparent blocks that you have to move your whole body to avoid, to make you stay light on your feet, juking, ducking, often thwipping out your hands mimicking web swinging.

The first one was I think better as a rhythm game track, fun movements, reasonably balanced difficulty throughout-- but the other more uneven one was using those blocks WAY more, often in the absence of any notes to hit, forcing you to thread the needle or RAPIDLY shift side to side to side to side with the music to avoid them, faster and faster as the song's intensity amped up.

And then the last thing at the very end of the song, no more notes, there's just one huge block in the middle of the stage taking up every inch of horizontal space you might try to dodge into, and stretching out into the last few measures. You can see it coming, it's the same object as the blocks you've been narrowly dodging for the entire length of the song, but this time you cannot avoid it. There's no way around it. You have to go through.

That's. That's art baby!
