ive always rly liked the idea of a member of a group of adventurers having what everyone assumes is very well trained hawk and then at the end of their journey its casually revealed that thats actually just his buddy whos a shapeshifter and just rly likes being a hawk

the guy also like thinks everyone knows bc he never tries to hide the fact that the hawk is a person but everyone assumes hes always just joking. like the others being like "damn its crazy how he knows exactly what you want him to do its like he knows english or something." and the guy is just like "well yeah thats his first language so ofc he's fluent??" and they all go "haha good one" and move on, leaving him confused

they just think hes a quirky guy that really loves his pet and says things like "the 9 of us" even tho there are clearly only 8 people! he just cares about the bird so much he counts it as a group member haha !

HES THIRSTY

please read this story of a man accidentally discovering his wife is the world's best Tetris player

[image description: an excerpt of text that says:

“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”

What Flewin said next I will never forget.

“Oh, my!”

TL;DR on the article

The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.

The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.

They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.

She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.

which, they later find out, is her second-best record

There was a decent but ultimately forgettable fantasy novel I read a long time ago that had a single moment that stuck with me.

The protagonist has just won the world famous sword fighting competition in the big, rich capital and is talking to his mentor, and says something about being the best swordsman in the world. The mentor frowns and tells him that no, he isn't. He is the best swordsman out of the people that could afford to show up to this tournament. There could be a mercenary way out in the mountains, patrolling a snow encrusted fort's walls that could kick his ass and there was no way to know until he was already losing to the guy.

I think about that a lot, and how for every apparently dominant competitor, there might be a fucking ronin out there somewhere capable of destroying them.

I’m genuinely curious, can Caine abstract? He is a self-aware AI which is both very different from being a human & very different from being an NPC. Also, is the exit real or not? We really have four different possibilities:

1. The exit is not real and Caine cannot abstract —> This is the most likely & most realistic possibility; if this is true, the status quo remains the same at the end of episode 9, probably with a vague cliffhanger ending to the series

2. The exit is real and Caine cannot abstract —> If this is true, Caine will die from being deleted off the computer if the exit is successfully discovered

3. The exit is real and Caine can abstract —> If this is true, Caine abstracting is the exit; when someone causes Caine to abstract, all humans inside the computer instantly return to the human world

4. The exit is not real and Caine can abstract —> This is the least likely possibility; the reason I find it the least likely is because unlike the previous three scenarios, I can’t think of what specifically would happen if this is true

Art by me :>

I admire their work on 'all I am' on YouTube and have been listening to it, so I made art (　＾∀＾)

My very first post on this platform. Please be nice :)

Gotta lovr him. The Kignmer

prices are dropping across the board

“Caine was fucked up for making them believe they found the exit, he intentionally toyed with their emotions. Caine is evil.”

..

Caine saw the one thing they wanted the most: the exit. So he spent a long time planning an adventure he thought they would love and appreciate ☹️ ☹️

“I LOVE that game!” (watched a letsplay and commentary about it)

this counts and i’ll hear nothing against it

if watching sports counts as enjoying the sport, then watching video games counts as enjoying video games.

And literally a huge part of gaming has ALWAYS been the experience of sitting around together, watching one person in the group play while everyone else cheers, heckles, shrieks, and generally has a good time.
