phoenixes are molotov cockatiels

I've come to a realization on my world building, but first: some context.

In my world there are no beings above the laws of magic. Gods are simply beings naturally skilled in manipulating entropy. In particular, dragons are predominantly worshipped as gods in the region I mostly work on.

My spin on mithril is a metal treated and forged with the help of the gods themselves. Superheated with dragonfire, imbued with magic by dragon lightning (D&D style dragon breath).

Turns out, there's already a metal that melts at super high temperatures, needs super high voltages to treat, is super light doesn't oxidize in room temp... I could go on and on.

Aluminium.

Aluminium is a near perfect fit for mithril in my world. Sure I can just put on a few magic properties whenever I need, but aluminium as the base metal pre-magic-imbue is much better than steel for my use.

I've Pavlov'd my friend into thinking any time I explain something in multiple parts I'm about to spew a shit joke

Whenever someone is feeling down and with no perspective on the future, simply send them this:

Non-cis folk who have kids are really hard to spot year round.

Even in TDoV they're trans-parent

You know, I've always wanted to be a doctor. But then life took its turns and now I'm a fish. I guess it worked out in the end, a sturgeon is a doctor down to a T.

Beats produced by wooden shacks are notoriously difficult to pick up.

Everybody I know has had a hard time with loggy rhythms.

From now on I shall refer to 2026-05-29 as my apocalype

Using lesbian double entendres is very cunning lingo indeed

I just saw someone with the username "Nonlinear Fruit" and that's probably the best username I've ever encountered

#gamedev Question:

I'm writing an entity component system for my game's rewrite in Lua. It's working fine so far, except for the UI system.

I'm struggling to come up with a solution that doesn't require a god object or multifunctional system.

Anyone have experience on this?

Mental health reminder:

Remember to imagine yourself as a tiny nautilus, it's guaranteed to boost your self esteem (even if it's at the cost of a little of your image).

Everybody deserves to be a little shellfish sometimes.

Pst.

Hey, kid.

Want something cool? You can get it real cheap, just don't ask questions.

Like a beacon 'mong the starlight
Always watching with intent
As if caring for us lowborn
When preparing for ascent

Chosen by the mighty lords
We accept our duty found
From the rites up to the sermons
'Tis a new life to be bound

Serve we may. Serve we will
And through powers given
May rivers flow though in still

For blade may not be driven
Lest both blood and water fill
The cup that once was riven
For others to then distill

Indenting your code is bringing it to the right. It is your civic duty not to let that happen.

Amazing talk. TL;DW:

We could have ended up with Rust enums IN THE FIRST VERSIONS OF C++ if Bjarne didn't take out a keyword from simula he thought was bad design.

What do you call a positively charged atomic pinniped?

A seal ion

Sean Connery once made a lasso out of a net used to catch river denizens.

idk what to say i just feel like i'm losing control of my life. it's not even a valid complaint because what's making me feel like this is just normal societal expectations. "society isn't fair" and "life isn't all fun and roses" and all, i know, but what the fuck am i supposed to do? accept it as it is or rebel against the system? i don't want either of those things, i just want to live the life i want. chores are fine, just the thought of dedicating 70% of my waking time to furthering the spread of genAI is fucking awful to me

Hear me out

Depressed misunderstood trans character works on a poem for months but it's never good enough for themself, doesn't want to publish it.

One day a friend sneaks a peek and finds out it's great, can't figure out why author dislikes it.

Time skip to post epic battle or something, idk

Author is fucked up but is going to live. Friend asks why they never published it.

There was an extra syllable and they can't take it out without losing meaning.

Ensue heartfelt discussion + self acceptance, decides to publish it

Then they kiss idk

So what are you going to do to me, doctor?

What I've always wanted to, spidey...

Say it! Say it Dr. Cocktopus!

I swear I've posted this before but whatever, I'll do it again! I will not be silenced!

Mike Wazowski nodding is the same as him twerking.

Reminder: The "boneful bonenless wings" incident shows authorities expect you to literally gag and bow to their whim just because they feel like it.

In the short period that I worked with kids, one thing that worked remarkably well was just to... like... talk to them like they're adults. Nobody ever fucking does that. And none of them like being talked down to.

Don't downplay the fuck ups they've done, but explain clearly why it was wrong and try to CONVINCE THEM your point of view makes more sense. Don't start telling them "no you're wrong" off the bat.

If the kids hadn't told me they liked the way I treated them, I never would've known that's not the norm. It's mind boggling to me people just repeat the way they were treated as kids onto the new kids. I thought we learned this lesson in the 90s already? Or maybe in the 80s? 70s?

Guess the game:

"Man goes into forest, eats a bunch of shrooms, turns into an evil raccoon, and you have to give him cocaine to bring him back"
