not weird: grown ass adults taking part in fandom culture; roleplaying, drawing fanart, writing fics, sharing theories, shipping, etc

weird: grown ass adults making fandom culture their entire identity and attacking people over shipping wars or conflicting headcanons, generally exhibiting behaviour that is barely acceptable if you’re 15

Today in “Nintendo is a bunch of sweaty corporatist goons who want to be Disney so fucking badly but never will be”:

Nintendo creates artificial scarcity of its products, and the medium of digital games is especially susceptible to this. They make no effort to make any significant portion of their massive catalog of previous-generation games available and accessible to the public, at best only selecting piecemeal titles here and there restarting every console generation but now seems to have abandoned even that. And they release products like the NES and SNES Classic because they know this, they know their games are in such high demand because they don’t make them available on a wide scale. And when they do make these products, guess what? They’re sold in extraordinarily limited quantities and if you don’t act fast you can only buy them from scalpers. 

To think Nintendo is doing this any of this unintentionally is just closing your eyes to the facts. It’s obvious Nintendo tries to create a mystique around their products by holding them back, just like Disney used to do with its “Disney Vault” scheme of making old movies limited time purchases. 

Is it really strange people turn to ROMs and emulators for these games? If they’re not available, what else are people supposed to do if they want to play these games? Pay exorbitant multi-hundred dollar prices to get the original versions of the game used and scrape up money to try to find a functioning old console to play them? The money isn’t even going to Nintendo at that point. This holds especially pertinent for games on systems near the middle of Nintendo’s history like the N64 and Gamecube which have seen the least distribution since their original releases. Nintendo’s paltry system of remaking a handful of titles like Wind Waker and Twilight Princess and then selling them at or near current gen full price absolutely is not enough and is more abuse of the fact they hold such a tight control over the games in their catalog. 

And even putting aside games people want to play for fun, there’s the entirely separate issue of historical preservation! Taking down massive ROM sites and forcing the people running them to pay millions of dollars they can’t afford means less and less places old games are cataloged and preserved. Not just the big titles, but every little game that came out during that time period, disposable or high quality, popular or obscure–how will we ever study our own cultural history if we do not know it? There’s a much wider discussion to be had about digital preservation in general in the internet age but Nintendo is just obliterating huge swaths of their own history for short term financial gain. 

Twelve million dollars is just a tiny drop in the bucket for the multibillion dollar multinational corporation Nintendo but will almost certainly ruin the lives of this couple who engaged in defying shortsighted capitalist greed. Please stop thinking of this company as anything other than another than another soulless ball of wealth generation for a particular elite. Nintendo clearly employs many talented and creative artists who aren’t to blame for stuff like this but that shouldn’t distract from the complete lack of morality underpinning the institution as a whole. Fuck Nintendo.

So this just happened! Scary clouds passing through Anna, Illinois

Licensed 🎥 video by Maranda Marie Benefield 

So anyone else here seen “The Mist”?  All I could think of when I saw this…

This is so cool can someone explain the scientific phenomena behind this?

Just checked, this is a shelf cloud, a type of arcus cloud that usually signals the coming of severe weather. This is actually fairly normal behavior for shelf clouds, I think it’s just that the video is really close to the squall so it looks extremely ominous.

Here are a few more examples of shelf clouds.

Pretty sure I’ve seen that last one somewhere before

• Hot cocoa in a Styrofoam cup but there’s not enough room in the cup for a full packet of hot cocoa so it’s either too strong or too weak
  
• A piano that hasn’t been played since the 1980s
  
• A room that’s always closed and has adults talking behind it but you’re not quite sure who they are or if they ever leave
  
• Donuts that you’re not allowed to eat
  
• Scented markers and multicolored craft sticks in an old basket
  
• Veggie tales on VHS and two rolling tvs on ancient tv stands
  
• A room behind another room that has christmas decorations in it
• This table:

• that one bitch who’s always always wearing tights and a dress even though the basement never gets above like 55 degrees 
• Dusty ass bibles and one lone dusty ass hymnal
• Old programs for concerts, baptisms, events, and VBS printed with black ink on colored 8.5″x11″ paper folded in half 
• Little acrylic bead craft projects in the shapes of lizards or cats that some girl made at church camp and forgot to take home 
• Glitter but not in the joyful gay way
• Moms in fleece 

This is fascinating to me because I never went to church, I’m not a Christian, and yet I can so clearly imagine this it’s like I was there

I can smell this post

i tricked a kid into chugging bubble solution in one of these basements

i live in california, where basements are a myth, but the church i grew up going to had a room like this in the rec building and i would like to add the following:

• theres lights in there but the whole place is never more than half lit
• the tvs are like 24in max, probably smaller, always CRT
• theres a nintendo 64 but it only has one game

In my dad’s church there is no basement so it’s the second floor that’s like this. The room-behind-a-room is the storage space behind the Sunday School room. Also none of the carpets have been replaced since at least 1970.

ours was the “multipurpose room” aka the gym for the gradeschool

which was itself a functioning church before the big church was built

so there’d be us having hawaiian punch and pizzelles and just look up and. notice. a basketball in the rafters.

maka albarn and edward elric are the same 

They’re also both small, angry, love their friends, hate their dads, and are basically genius child prodigies. 

This is official art. They’re friends.

Both produced by bones

Both have bones (presumably)

Ed has 126 less bones than Maka

Fuck Off.
