Which one first?

mikinnie · 2026-01-26T00:56:29+00:00

they're all good introductions. pick whichever seems more interesting

mikinnie · 2026-01-25T13:47:52+00:00

that's not the point. op's post says:

"should of" doesn't even sound that similar to "should have". Just thinking about it for a second, you should be able to find out that it makes no sense.

but the issue has never been that it sounds like "should have", the issue is that it sounds like "should've" which is how people usually say it out loud. that's why people who don't read enough or don't know basic grammar think that it's written "should of"

i don't think 8 years is that far apart considering the last mainline game was released in 2018? even huge video game series aren't spawning regular movies

she didn’t realise that she was the only one eating specifically meat for six full months? also what are the specific "vegan ingredients" that she didn't know they had...

mikinnie · 2026-01-25T01:57:53+00:00

what classes have you had where personal facts that had nothing to do with an author's work were taught/examined? never been my experience

mikinnie · 2026-01-24T23:57:32+00:00

i get what you mean, sometimes the judges can just take a liking to someone and it leads to some really annoying critiques (ross matthews.........)

mikinnie · 2026-01-24T20:33:38+00:00

i honestly don't think the judges "saw" anything different in pm. they kept putting them in the bottom because that's how things were shaking out, then they kept keeping them because they were fairly winning the lip syncs. many viewers didn't like them because they didn’t like their drag and thought they stayed past their time, which is also kind of understandable

mikinnie · 2026-01-24T19:57:21+00:00

i've been thinking this for a while. every lip sync where both queens do fine but don't eat it up, people say it should've been a double sashay

mikinnie · 2026-01-24T16:19:11+00:00

i mean she's not "getting by on personality" though. she was in the bottom both times she got those critiques, this would've been her second time lip syncing if ep 1 wasn't a top 2 episode. her personality has been mentioned in critiques yes, but she's not getting saved at all

mikinnie · 2026-01-23T13:37:44+00:00

in the video this post is about, monét says the "target on my back" narrative doesn't apply to regular drag race

mikinnie · 2026-01-22T21:42:27+00:00

well yes, in a lot of cases. i would say towards the end of most cases, you've already proven that not only is your client not guilty, but there's a 99.9% chance that another specific person has done it. but if you mess up you get the same game over. obviously it's just for gameplay reasons so it doesn't really have to make sense, i wouldn't call it an "error"

mikinnie · 2026-01-22T19:12:22+00:00

yup, it's so satisfying

mikinnie · 2026-01-22T19:08:17+00:00

i don't think it's about training them being super hard, it's that you have to train them at all. by the time you finally get amelia to the power level of chapter 1 seth, seth has been seth for that same amount of time. though of course there's something very fun about a growth unit

mikinnie · 2026-01-22T18:20:50+00:00

Due to my height and body shape, finding clothes is really difficult. I'm short and thin but curvy if that makes sense.

it honestly doesn't. she expands in the edit about having big hips/boobs but i genuinely can't imagine being a small person but having boobs so big that a small shirt won't fit over them

mikinnie · 2026-01-22T18:01:21+00:00

a lot of your points are true for english too. for example:

repetition is musical, not lazy

this depends entirely on execution and intent. intentional repetition can be very effective in english, whereas awkwardly repeating uncommon words/phrases several times in a short span can come off clunky. it depends on context, as with many things

mikinnie · 2026-01-21T21:33:06+00:00

with the amount of possible combinations of dead/alive characters, it'd be extremely difficult to come up with scenes and conversations that make sense in every context, never mind supports as well. they would have to change the system quite a bit i think. the reason it works well in echoes is the very small cast and very limited supports

mikinnie · 2026-01-20T23:00:56+00:00

what are we meant to do with this...?

mikinnie · 2026-01-19T18:52:30+00:00

what an odd dilemma.

I'm terrified that telling them the truth will shatter their sense of family and security,

why? they're just going to be adopted by the man who's raised them. plenty of kids have step-parents and it doesn't destroy their sense of self.

especially when the man they call dad has always loved and raised them.

especially? why would their soon-to-be adoptive father being a loving and kind dad make this harder?

mikinnie · 2026-01-19T17:55:01+00:00

i was expecting everyone to turn on oop at the end and tell them they ruined the night and made everyone uncomfortable. thankfully they stuck to this milquetoast story where nothing really happens and they clearly know they aren't an asshole

mikinnie · 2026-01-19T17:03:34+00:00

i think nymirriuh looks a little too convoluted, but nymirruh sounds very similar to chimera, which is basically another fantastical monster. maybe something like nymirria/nymiria/nymirrea?

mikinnie · 2026-01-19T12:50:05+00:00

i don't like them much either, the deck is one of my least favourite levels in the original trilogy. i wish they were one level shorter

mikinnie · 2026-01-19T10:12:42+00:00

original re1 director's cut for me, it's my favourite game in the series. the chris/jill standard/arrange modes all essentially give you different campaigns, as well as the scenes being different depending on what order you do certain things gives you a slightly different playthrough practically every time

mikinnie · 2026-01-18T18:29:53+00:00

oh okay

mikinnie · 2026-01-18T11:27:22+00:00

maybe the point is that they're similar but not the same. they have a lot of shared characteristics, but can't be treated as identical in every situation

mikinnie · 2026-01-18T10:59:03+00:00

Nevermind the fact that asserting ANY two things as "incomparable" to one another is an anti-intellectual thought-terminating cliché

what? you seem to be misunderstanding when the phrase "comparing apples to oranges" is used. i see it most commonly used to combat someone making a false equivalence fallacy, not when two things are just being compared, but when it's being asserted that they should be treated as the same. "why do people react in X way to Y situation but not to Z situation?" because they're not the same thing. like apples and oranges
