trained video game designers who get paid thousands of dollars for making video game: some things are way too difficult to create with this engine, you have to understand that we are very limited in our possibilities for this game
modders with a pirated version of photoshop who work full jobs outside the video game industry: hey guys I made 100 hairstyles and re-textures of 750 outfits during my lunch time. Also this female character now has proper armor and can be romanced by a female protag. I was kinda busy last night but here are 20 new complexions you can download for free
also modders: hey guys! i created an unofficial bug patch that fixed 185930 places where the game could/does crash, cuts loading time in half and restores broken dialogue and new choices to allow better avenues of conversation! please just endorse and give me feedback :)
also also modders: hey i made this entirely new game full with voice acting and story
A prequel series that slowly but steadily stops making any sense. At first there are minor continuity errors, but only to the degree that could be put down to imprecise language or misleading statements in the original, then gets worse and worse until by the final episode the main character of the original series has never been born, the antagonist is already dead, and the worldstate is totally different from how it was at the start of the original
I was watching Clone Wars and thinking how fucking funny it would have been if in one episode Anakin just fucking died
you ever just…. fall into a burning ring of fire? and go down, down, down as the flames get higher? and like it burns burns burns etc. the ring of fire lol
concept: the year is 2034. i walk into work with coffee in hand. coworker is wearing cool shoelaces and i compliment them absentmindedly. they look me dead in the eye and say, “thanks, i stole them from the president.” scalding coffee leaks out of every one of my orifices and i hide in the bathroom convulsing for the rest of the day
it is physically painful to remember that people have continued to join tumblr since 2012 and that there are people–perhaps people reading this! right now!!!–who don’t have the foggiest memory of this fucking post. this post haunted me, do you understand, i saw and heard this code used in REAL FUCKING LIFE, I CANT FKJCLNG HANDLE THIS
okay but this unententionally happened at work. One of my coworkers has the same kind of shoes i have. same brand, style and colour. the only difference is the colour of the shoe laces. So i jokingly said “i like your shoelaces” pointing out that we have similar shoes and he legitimately said “i stole them from the president” i had to save face by pretending to not know what tumblr was and change the subject to politics.
The heart of NYC’s Financial District is built on a huge 18th century African Burial Ground. Some 419 Africans were discovered in 1991, a large portion women and children.
The burial ground extends from Broadway Southward under City Hall, and almost to the site of the former World Trade Center. It is believed that there are as many as 20,000 slavery-era Africans in graves under the buildings in Lower Manhattan.
Abolish historical amnesia and ponder for a moment the fact that this financial epicenter of the world is built on slavery, oppression, and death.”
Literally, and daily.
But if your tour guide, doesn’t mention this, they suck! It’s a big and acknowledged part of NYC history.
You can visit the memorial to the African Burial Ground:
Or the museum dedicated to it. Located at 290 Broadway, it’s run by the National Park Service and therefore free to all visitors:
There’s also public artwork in the Ted Weiss building’s lobby (the building being constructed when bodies were first found):
I literally teach a class on the African Burial Ground. It’s not as well-known as it deserves to be, but it’s not hidden either.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
