I make a lot of OCs pls look at them

The Overwatch Diversity Index thing is so funny to me bc I feel like Alan Grant seeing dinosaurs roam for the first time, I’m like “How can you exist, you were supposed to die years ago…”
It feels like an artifact that was transported to the present from the mid 2010s when people did act like diversity was quantifiable. Like God of course you soulless weirdos would have this bizarre setup where you funnel points into Ethnicity like you’re allocating points into DnD attributes or some shit, and God only knows how many people in 2016 would have seen that and been like “Wow this is a great tool to help you diversify your characters!”
(I mean I’m sure there are still people like that now but I like to imagine that for the most part people have grown tired of that kind of shit and largely demand higher quality rep)
You know what it is, this is just those 4chan Privilege Quizzes only instead of mocking minorities it’s saying “Actually this is GOOD, please don’t ask us to tell you how we came up with the numbers for the Ethnicity Scale”
Okay I’m sorry I have to know more about what kind of fuckin race science is being employed to quantify this shit. Why is “Arab” a 7? What is above and below that. What about Culture? How many options did you even list and what were the parameters for quantifying THAT? Do they go into negative values, say if you’re rich? What the fuck is Cognitive Ability and once more, what phrenology ass pseudoscience was employed to quantify this. I must know
I went DEEP into this and found like the dev talking about it and God it’s such a good idea IN CONCEPT if they just made markers that get numbers based on how many of an identity you’ve included in your game (like 2 CIS 2 HET 1 WHITE 3 MEN kind of thing) but instead they deciding to QUANTIFY IT INSTEAD
The result is the torbjorn is more OLD than Lucio is BLACK. And torbjorn is more DISABLED than zarya is RUSSIAN. And Zenyatta is equally attractive as mercy and Moira is more Cisgender than Lucio and it’s like WHAT ARE YOU SAYING WHAT IS THIS
Oh also the head dev of the project is a white rich woman who loves Elon Musk and the NBA
This explains a lot, but also I wish there was a way for you to have heard the noise I made when I read “Torbjorn is more old than Lucio is Black”. This is so bad!!! This is so bad!!!!!!!

Elon Riverlands (Part 2)
Only one thing has inflicted change on the ancient structures in this part of the desert: Joko. Either the vistas have remained nearly unscathed for 250 years, such as the Throne of Pellentia, or they are now framed by Joko’s immense bone wall.
Or, for the rest of the riverlands, the flooding itself. For once not caused by Zhaitan, Joko diverted the river Elon in 1135AE to cause femine in Vabbi and Kourna, making them easier to claim, and turned the desert to the north into wetlands (although it seems Kralkatorrik’s brandscar hit the dam and restored the river’s natural flow).
A statue of an armoured human in the Arid Sea, visible in the background above, collapses in realtime when the played approaches it, allowing them to walk over its body to a raised plateau. This statue still lies there, albeit more mossy, serving the same purpose after two centuries.
“I’ve spent countless years guarding this place. And for what? These memories contain only death and sorrow.
I had faith in the Sunspears. Faith we could beat Joko, but there was only pain—again and again and again.”are there actually new tumblr users or are we just memeing ourselves into a fever dream where this site is popular again like two hundred thousand people hallucinating as they die in a trench
this is how Tidus gets made in ffx
more wing vivi because someone suggested that it would imply that Vivi was made as a waltz rather than as a generic soldier, thus explaining why he looks different from the other mage types, and…that makes a huge amount of sense actually.
i think the waltz encounters would go a lot differently if the waltzes recognized Vivi not just as ‘another black mage’ but their prototype/sibling.
thinking about sylvari grafting pieces of foliage of other sylvari they are close with onto themselves (with the other sylvari’s consent of course) as a very intimate kind of body decoration and a sentimental way to always carry their loved ones with them
Myself, @fivetail and @veggieblt played a completely normal session of popular anime genshin impact
GUILD WARS 2 : POINTS OF INTEREST
↳ Rata Sum » PR-1000 Prototype GolemThe PR-1000 Prototype Golem is located within the College of Dynamics, an asuran scholarly society known for devising ingenious, highly unstable and equally unpredictable magitechnology. Members of the college believe that an experiment is only a failure if nothing is learned from it.(via istanibald)
gw2 this is wild because I mean I’ve played a couple other mmos and if this asset were in an elder scrolls game they would have a huge empty room with just this in it npcs arrayed around it to talk about the set piece and a quest line about how it facilitates the momentum of the universe or something but it’s actually just a little environmental touch. some flavour. optional eyecandy and you know what I’ve never seen this thing before in all my years playing I swear I didn’t know it existed 193 notes6 days ago | 10 May, 2022

“Immature people crave and demand moral certainty: This is bad, this is good. Kids and adolescents struggle to find a sure moral foothold in this bewildering world; they long to feel they’re on the winning side, or at least a member of the team. To them, heroic fantasy may offer a vision of moral clarity. Unfortunately, the pretended Battle Between (unquestioned) Good and (unexamined) Evil obscures instead of clarifying, serving as a mere excuse for violence — as brainless, useless, and base as aggressive war in the real world.”
Ursula K Le Guin at it again, being right as always
