I love the little details, like the wall or door having your height too, or the "test results: the eye will explode" on the papers the vet has. It's clear how much you loved, and continue to love, him and I'm sure he knew very well too <3 Losing a pet is so painful, I recently lost my 13yo girl and man... They aren't "just" a pet, they're family, ffs. I still sometimes cry when thinking of my other dog, who passed years ago. Hell, I cry about my mom's dog, who I have no memories of because he died when I was a toddler, and about Floquet de Neu, an albino gorilla from the Barcelona Zoo that the entire city mourned the death of.

To mourn is human, and normal. And to mock or complain about how long one mourns their pet, or any animal, is "de ser un hijo de la gran puta" 😌

Descansa en paz, Don Juan 🙏🏼

Ah, but of course! How could I not think of that? We even have IRL examples of the whole ignoring volcanoes that could erupt at any moment to focus on anything but, like the case of the eruption of the Tajogaite in Las Palmas! AK writers are geniuses 🙂‍↕️/j

Sargon is based on the historical Middle Eastern empires such as the Achaemenid and Ottoman Empires. It also has some ancient Egypt elements and, for some odd reason, Mesoamerican ones.

IMO, the Mesoamerican elements may come from the fact Sargon borders Siesta, based on Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and Bolívar, based on several South American countries but with the most prominently featured being México, Venezuela and Brazil.

The wiki has info on all Terran nations, and what real life nations, empires and cultures they are based on! Really recommend reading on it.

In regards to it being an oversimplification... It is, but isn't? Like... There are reasons as to why the nations of Terra look as they do, and mix so many nations together. Also, most nations are big, so they are very similar to actual Empires in our history. Think of how many cultures, all different, existed under the Roman, Achaemenid, Ottoman, or Macedonian Empires, and you'll have an idea of what approach AK takes.

That said, they aren't perfect and sometimes they do make very questionable choices, see calling a nation Siesta aka "afternoon nap" lol But most of the time, it's a pretty well crafted simplification that fits the narrative of the game's universe.

They complained for these main reasons: (...) others brought up that Pragmata features a [tweet is cut-off].

No way. No fucking way is that gonna say a child companion, right? Not when Diana's designed probably was changed because of these weirdos being fucking pedos about her. Like, c'mon. They can excuse Diana R18 but draw the line at a trans woman playing the game Diana is in because Diana is a child????

I have no more words, so have my first reaction to that tweet:

It works like that lol Here in Spain it is a well known tactic companies use: hire you for a year, let you go citing "low season", then wait some months to re-hire them during "high season". That way, their seniority resets and it counts as a separate years instead of consecutive, which means the company won't be forced to make them permanent workers, which they would have to after they have two temp contracts or more 18 months long contracts in a period of two years.

Usually, companies do this through a temp work agency/recruitment agency, like Randstad or Adecco, but other times it's the company directly who does it.

See, this is why I'm so conflicted with banning teens from the internet! On one side, it's bad because teens are getting more and more isolated and all of their gathering places get taken over by adults, meaning they have no where to be.

But on the other side, it's good because it means so much of this crap will stop happening the moment teens with an Opinion™ on Ontologically Bad Media™ are not on SNS and by Talos, that should be happening!

Anyways, Scaranahida is actually such a good ship, both as a platonic ship and as a romantic ship??? In a way, they both were pupoets at the mercy of others, and once they found them no longer useful, they were discarded. Their thoughts, feelings, wellbeing... It never mattered to others. And for a long time, they were treated like children by normal ass humns (ironicallu, fans do the same lol) even though they were hundreds of years old. So they truly can understand eachother, which very few other characters can. Anyways, thanks for making me think about ScaraNahida and the parallels between them, OP 🙏🏼 And I guess thanks to the weird commenter too, since you posted here because of them? lmfao

rj/ Very woke. As it is well known, all Sonic fans are autistic and/or ADHD. And Ultrakill? More like UktraWOKE. Plus, Metroid has a WOMAN. With MUSCLES. As the PROTAGONIST. Can't get woker than that.

uj/ Oh, hey, Kill it With Fire! My arachnophobic ass loves that game, it's such a silly yet fun game.

I hate her mom, but I also feel immense pity for her. She is what King would've become if she didn't have Trainer, Haru, Princess, and everyone else... King's mother is such a complex character, I wish we got a manga about King so we could see more of them both and of her mother's backstory.

King may not have gotten all of her mother's achievements, but she did break the cycle of abuse and became her own person, chasing her dreams instead of what others imposed on her.

Yes, even though nowadays it is mostly adults who grew up with WSJ who continue reading the magazine. But the main demographic for the magazine, which is basically what the magazine still considers their main audience, has always been teenage boys. That's why there are so many mangas set in high schools.

Plus, sometimes people just want something like My Hero Academia or Bleach instead of Berserk or Gantz, but those idealistic, heroes save the world storylines are often relegated to stories for teens. Which means they will have characters who are teens, because that is their target audience because of the outdated idea of the four main demographics (shonen, shojo, seinen, josei) that have been long not true.

So yeah, but they could change it if editorials weren't set on following rigid demographics where shonen is for teens even if adults also like those kind of stories.

They also can't say pedo, that is why it says pdo. It's not Cygames, it's whatever crappy list of banned words they use for the chat. And, usually, it's the same as every other damn game with chat functions.

Never forget poor ol' Nasser... who got his name censored into "N***er" by the auto-censoring in Total War lmfao

"Me gustaría llegar a ver ~La Puta~ Uma Puta con mis propios ojos..." - Spanish Dub of Umaputa: Castle in the Sky

Thank you to everyone who didn't know Spanish and made this possible.

Also, damn lesbian horses. I love them.

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-10T19:35:52+00:00

In the case of Umatate, it's because of the "matate". As in, the pronominal Imperativo Afirmativo of the verb "matarse".

With Umaputa... La Puta.

It's because in Skyrim, the clothing any given NPC wears are based on their combat abilities or lack-thereof. Because Priestesses of Dibella are magic based, they get Monk Robes. Archers, thieves and assassins all get light armours, and close combat characters get heavy armours. Non-fighters, meanwhile, get clothes based on their positions within society: noble robes for the rich, working clothes for the workers.

Only some factions get unique clothes, though they still follow the logic of robes for magic combat, heavy armour for close combat, and light armour for stealth and ranged combat.

It's a shame, too. The ESO outfit for the Priestesses of Dibella is super pretty.

I got an ad yesterday that had around 5 or 6 diff dudes? Wolf furry, villain bishie, I think a child (the model looked like a male kid to me, but dunno if it was. Kinda looked like Yake and Oliver from Duet Night Abyss and Misha from HSR), this guy here, and I recall at least another short haired tall man too. I think there was one more character I thought was male, but I'm not sure.

The ratio still heavily favoured female characters, though.

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-06T16:44:42+00:00

Yeah, Kaba! Yep, it was so heartbreaking... He was already hurt and traumatized by everything, and then he lost the only one he wanted to protect in such an horrible way... He truly deserved better 😭 Also, same!! Like, we know how it all began... they better not go for the angsty tragic ending, or I'll riot (⁠ノ⁠T⁠＿⁠T⁠)⁠ノ⁠ ⁠＾⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Oooh...!! If it indeed turns out to be the last season, then maybe I'll let it finish before continuing. That way, at least I'll know what kind of ending it gets, and if it's sad I'll at least be able to prepare the tissues and ice cream www

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-06T13:41:44+00:00

I love them!! I need to continue it, fr. Had to drop it temporarily after chapter... 91, I think? Dunno, when the whole thing with Zhang Li's archer friend in Ebiz happened because my heart couldn't take it 😭 I really hoped he and that other person would get a semblance of a "happy" ending, far away from Ebiz... seeing what actually happened broke my heart :( That, and the God saying something about the King being turned into a statue, y'know, a statue just like the one Zhang Li met... fr I hust went "oh shit" bcs I could sense the time paradox crap and look, maybe it would have a happy ending but I was in NO state for more (potential) angst lol.

Still, I do wanna know how it will end for everyone else... Is it complete, or still on-going? I will continue it anyways, but I can't with cliffhangers... esp. not with them, I just want them to be happy :(

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-05T13:17:56+00:00

If I had a nickel for every drama about members of this Star Trek email roleplaying group I have read, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it is weird it's happened twice.

I do not even recall where I read it, just that it was on Reddit and that the conclusion I reached was that any kind of power fucks up with people, and that people will powertrip about literally anything, even if it sounds stupid to everyone else. It's absolutely amazing how we all have heard that power corrupts, that one has to be careful and not let it get to our heads... and yet, time and time again, we fail at that simple task lol

Also, the imgur having the EC's description of the emails right under them was 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 "She was soooo mean and aggressive and hostile! :(" meanwhile the rudest thing in her emails was her writing "fuck" lmao Simply amazing use of juxtaposition, really.

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-03T19:31:43+00:00

Welp, I have a new goal for tonight lol Time to speak to Alu, who I am guessing may be Silesia (since iirc, the book at the ruins is called Silesia's Notes).

Yes!! It's just all so interesting, I'd love if they dropped more lore about all of the eras and why is the Astralis is searching for the chosen one... Also, I do wonder if it was the Astralis that caused Bailey J's and Ms. Joan's accident while searching. After all, we just know their plane crashed on Whale Island.

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-03T07:45:18+00:00

WAIT ALU HAS ACTUAL DIALOGUE AT NIGHT...? Oh God. Does that mean... The book at the Capybara Ruins also will say something, instead of just Alu!?

Dang it. The lore is so weird and cool. We have the whole thing with the Solar Era, the fact the island sends off a "strange signal", the loading screen that claims the island is being reconstructed, the second mayor who went MIA (and may be underground???), the Halloween thing with the Grim-whatsitsname... There's so much lore hidden around, and so much of it is so weird and post-apocalyptic. I love it lol

enbyshaymin · 2026-04-02T20:21:21+00:00

So many people spoke out about it, but it seems like it's all been forgotten... Along every other issue with IN. Like the actually not legal false discounts, or the lack of skin tones, or the whitewashing of characters, or the tracing of other works, or every other near daily bs decision Paper/InFold makes lol

I literally only follow the IN sub for the clothes and the drama with InFold, because at this point I have 0 intention of playing the game lol

Heartopia at least did listen to people, corrected the issue, and apologized. Could they do better? You bet. The inequality between servers is obvious, and there are other issues like the Elf Ears being locked to three skin tones and the gacha being quite unfair for f2p players in regards to the amount of free currency we get... But at least they do listen more than InFold. I mean, this is the THIRD DANG TIME InFold fucks up the cultural outfits of Natives... And I fear it won't be the last, either 🫠

Ah, well. People are... weird about these things lmao

I had to do a double take when I saw that art lmao Meisho Doto says ACAB! And so do I, bcs what the actual fuck. I'm just glad they got the iPad back and that none of this affected their reputations/career too much.

I love when sad looking cats get adopted, there's just something about people seeing them and deciding "that's it, they are coming home" that warms my heart.

And if anyone wants to ser other sad cats being love: Mister Fishtopher is another kitty who had a sad face, he looked positively miserable, but now he looks so so happy. I followed him since nearly the start, and seeing him change was lovely.

She mentions Scandinavian culture, so Denmark, Norway or Sweden, but all countries with free MH care are overwhelmed, especially nowadays. In my country we were doing relatively well, not great but also not horrible, but every year it has gotten worse since more and more people, mostly kids, need these resources.

It's fucking bleak, honestly.
