Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar
Sometimes I attend somebody’s thesis presentation and I’m so impressed that I follow them home to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar at 3am.
Sometimes I watch someone eat mayonnaise out of a jar at 3am with such fervour I am compelled to attend their thesis presentation
listen I’ve managed to persuade people to purchase and read my traditionally published books by yelling at them with a mouth full of 3am mayonnaise. tumblr is truly a magical place.
I’m gonna blow your mind with this, folks in the tags, but I think people have been super brainrotted by big studios having hype trains for their releases. I don’t think a dev’s job is to do marketing. A dev’s job is to fucking develop.
You know what I think is good practice? Not putting a release date until you’re absolutely and totally sure you can meet it instead of putting a release date and having to crunch to meet it OR move it repeatedly, which will disappoint people anyway. The time to do marketing campaigns, ideally, is AFTER the game is done and you’re trying to convince people to buy and play it.
tl;dr I don’t fucking care about the marketing who gives a shit about marketing
how i’m handling my students using AI to write papers:
-don’t accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don’t know the meaning of
-ask to see their original file where they “wrote” the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like “certainly! here’s an essay about….”
-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don’t, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.
And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.
Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.
I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like “this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol” when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every “classical” looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad
In case you’re curious here’s what I mean.
Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):
Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):
Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):
The laws that govern the hydraulics are always interesting ..
For how this works:
When the straw is filled with liquid and tipped over, the output would create a vacuum if liquid doesn’t flow through, so the rest of the liquid is drawn up until the pressures equalize
If you ever encounter a conspiracy person of any type irl, you can act like you’ve never heard of
their particular conspiracy
online communities
Don’t start arguing with them headfirst, or tell them that they’re wrong. Make them explain the entire thing to you from the start, and once they have, ask them where has this happened? Whom has it happened to? How do they know these people that have experienced this? Like was that their uncle or a co-worker or who exactly is it that has told them about these things?
And as soon as they mention online forums, just look at them with deeply baffled confusion, and as slowly as possible, ask “so you were told all this by… someone from the internet?” with the exact same cautiously incredulous tone as if they had just said they receive all of their news from a talking dog.
I did this to a man who claimed litter boxes were being used in schools and got him to admit no it wasnt his school, actually it wasnt a school at all and no he had no proof of it ever happening. When he said he heard it on fox news and facebook i just looked at him like 🤨 and he shut up pretty quickly
this is just “people in real life: hey man how’s it going”-ing them. excellent
If you can’t find a normie for contrast to highlight how batshit someone is, playing the role of one yourself is fine.
