Counter point and theory. What if everything was purposely staged? Mario 3 kinda showed that game was one. Why not have the rest just be something akin to a show.

I mean, outside of the RPGs, that's kinda how Ninty intends most of the games to be treated, just a series of disconnected vignettes staring the same characters but largely having no connection. don't think about how the the Mushroom and Koopa kingdoms can seemingly be in constant conflict but also the leaders of both are able to hang out at the go-kart track or play a few holes of golf every weekend.

over the past 5 years I've had this weird YouTube ad come to mind every so often. it's an ad for some Floam-like kids toy, but that's not what's weird, for some reason the background to this ad uses a bizarre, like, bootleg version of Unreeeal Superhero 3.

I initially thought that it was a case of someone on the ad team getting SiIvaGunnered and putting some HQR of the song in instead of the original. the thing is, I cannot source the version of this song, so it can't be that. so, the only answer is that, during production of this ad, the real song was used, thinking that it was Public Domain or something, until someone thought to check, at which point, for whatever reason, rather than using a different song that they did have the licence to, they had someone create a definitely-not-legally-distinct remix of the song to use instead.

@dba_afish: I think it's because tomatoes are kinda sweet tasting. Closer to what people generally think of fruits as this sweet part of the plant that you can eat. Unlike most types of vegetables.

It's also because people first heard about most science "facts" like that when they're kids, and kids are extremely gullible and impressionable. And depending on how the school educates them, or even just how strict the teachers are, students might not even bother to question whether what they learn from the book is true. A lot of schools recently have adopted a more explorative kind of learning in their curriculum. But a lot also haven't.

why is it only ever tomato that people do the "Actually it's a fruit, not a vegetable." thing with? never cucumber, or bell pepper, or anything else. honestly, it's bizarre that, into adulthood, I still will occasionally hear people spouting this pseudo-factoid at all, as if it's a) something no one's ever heard before and b) actually factual.

its like, in third grade they heard someone say this and they just accept it totally uncritically and continued to parrot it to other people without ever thinking about it. and it just kept spreading, like that obviously dumb "tongue taste regions" thing, or...

Made an artificer with someone new to DMing…
Dw i’ll pay for their therapy.

Yay! Instead of having a summer vacation like everyone else, I'm required to do the "short semester" program, where I still have to go to classes, and one of the courses will have me travel out of the city, probably twice a week.
And I already signed up for TOEFL practice, and also Art Fight for July. I am definitely not going to be so busy to the point of being tired at all. Fucking hooray!
And do you want to hear the very best part? They're gonna abolish the "short semester" thing next year. So I'm the last generation that has to do that. Wow. I'm so fucking happy right now. I don't have bad thoughts in. my. head. AT. ALL.

Unrelated, but here is the biggest sarcasm mark you'll ever see on the blips.

what's an "uncleared level"?

while i would love to tell you, i have been hired on by the Simpleflips team explicitly to NOT tell you what uncleared levels are. as the video you responded to is, despite the title, a viewer levels video

viewer levels are levels created and submitted by viewers of simpleflips

y'know, I was going to say "I don't even watch furry-based content so how would YouTube know I'm a furry?", but, I uhh... I definitely closely follow a channel that features co-op Starbound and Terraria LPs that were really just thinly disguised furry romance roleplay sessions.

...with a fairly prominent furry artist as the co-host.

yeah, I have no one but myself to blame.

Porn gives me inspiration for my sci-fi universe writing and i’m not sure why…

welcome back to another episode of afish's Adventures in Autoplay!

so, I've got the end of Definctland's latest video going while plugging away at some stuff. it finishes up, another video starts, I let it play for a bit...

some long internet drama video about some person who I'd never heard of. ehh, I'll just skip it... except. seconds before I do, about a minute in, I do see something I recognize. something I had seen for the first time fairly recently, in fact. something I only watched because it was part of a tag project I was working on. this video is about the creator of an NG era flash that I saw 2 months ago randomly.

I-- I dunno dude, fuckin', YouTube keeps doing this...

how does it know?

Wtf is up with wildcards? I was browsing around Jay Naylor's characters, and I noticed that some of them don't show up in a *_(jay_naylor) search despite being tagged in that format. And it returns even fewer results if you pare it down to just *or), contrary to the logic of a less specific tag.
It seems to work as intended when the wildcard is in the middle of the term, but that's not so useful for my endeavours.
I've never noticed this with any other artists.

Wildcards in post search only uses the top 40 tags (which fit the format) by tag count. This can be demonstrated by *_(jay_naylor) sundew_(jay_naylor)

Take a look at *_(jay_naylor) and despair
