(Un)Official Blog Of The City Of Buffalo, NY

@buffalony-official / buffalony-official.tumblr.com

i made this gimmick blog and all i got was this gimmick blog

Currently being used as a temporary main account because i got shadow banned

hey, this is the (not really) official blog of buffalo, ny, usa

yes i actually live there

i'm a trans girl (she/they pronouns) and swear quite a bit so if you don't like that then you should probably not follow me

i'm very normal (autistic) about music i swear

i overuse parenthesis (as you can see)

i also run @deneb-the-star and @news-from-year-4000 (on indefinite hiatus) and my main account is @xyzee1212

my youtube channel for some of the music that i make (mostly the kind of thing you would expect from a trans girl)

ASK ME ABOUT THINGS I'M WORKING ON PLEASE

will update as needed

So to recap

  • Pillowfort is not dead (never has been). It's just smaller. If you join it, it will be bigger!
  • Pillowfort is consistently getting new features and improvements based on user feedback
  • Pillowfort is free to join without invites. Think AO3 waitlist. You'll be ready to go in a few hours at most.
  • Pillowfort was not "made by antis" (lmao)
  • Pillowfort is completely user funded, and thus will never enshittify
  • Pillowfort allows NSFW, is sex worker friendly (as far as US law allows) and banned AI images*
  • Pillowfort does not have reblog replies, on purpose, only comments. You own and control your own posts, forever.
  • Pillowfort is planning Ask Boxes, UX improvements, better image uploading, and tons more
  • Pillowfort is not owned by a transphobic techbro douchebag
  • Pillowfort has been around for seven years, where other small social media has withered and died. Cohost came and went all within PF's lifetime.
  • Pillowfort is small. It is buggy. It has no video or audio, only Youtube embeds. It runs on 7k/month, mostly spent on moderators. They use their resources as best they can, and have built a damn resilient product for it.
  • Pillowfort is trying to build a better, sustainable internet, without venture capital tricks destroying good services. It's not impossible, just harder, and slower. Don't believe the defeatists.
  • Pillowfort is not for everybody. The only way you'll find out whether you like it is by trying it.

\*: Linking to AI images is technically allowed if tagged, but PF will never host them, no exceptions.

Perhaps this is a weakness of the pure deathmatch model. If instead the robots had some nominal task to complete (e.g. there are a number of boxes in the arena and you win if you can move them all to your side) but where violently disabling the opponent was an encouraged way to further that goal maybe you would get more diverse strategies.

do you really think the shrieking maimer would be better than the nudge at moving cubes

BattleBots x FIRST Robotics is a sport I WISH my highschool competed in

anyway sound off. at what stage do ppl think Han figured out the Force was real. the boring answer is after seeing Obi-wan vanish but i think he could rationalise that away as his eyes playing tricks on him. what do we think.

Let me demonstrate my answer for you:

That's it. That's my answer. Endor.

Please just take a look at Han's face right after witnessing 3po float. The man just had his entire worldview blown to smithereens.

that's so funny. that means he accepted Vader deflecting a blaster bolt with his hand as just something freaky government cyborgs can do, and stuck by Luke for multiple years as he tried to figure this Force stuff out, and just treated it like your friend getting really really into neopaganism to cope with a loss.

like yeah kid good job with the witching. i'm certain it will be more useful against your enemies than your sharpshooting. no i do not think your witchcraft is supplementing your aim but i'm not gonna argue about it.

yeah Luke was like 'I heard Ben Kenobi's voice in my head telling me how to blow up the Death Star :)' and Han was like 'kind of an unusual coping mechanism but I'm not gonna argue with him'

thanks to carbonite han not only misses learning about luke's training montage on dagobah, he's also half-blind during their whole escape on tatooine. luke's out there force-kicking henchmen with his gucci boots and doing flips and shit and han can't see a goddamn thing. now on endor luke's yeeting threepio with the power of his mind and han's just like 'the last time we hung out i had to stuff him in a tauntaun sleeping bag'.

@softness-and-shattering I hate you I hate you I hate you

people genuinely do not consider that disabled people might be in abusive households, I have talked to so many people who wonder why i didn't get care when i was a baby or a child because i was disabled since birth and when i tell them it's because my family was and is abusive they tend to have the reaction that my parents were "trying their best" no they weren't, i was disabled, i was sick, outwardly so and my parents just did not care, and did not want to provide care to both of their children, they only could deal with 1 disabled child and that was not me! Now that im an adult who cannot drive and cannot live on my own i am quite literally trapped in my parents house because i do not have anywhere else to go!! it is not my fault i wasnt taken to the doctor as a child!! and it is not my fault that i still can't leave now!! I have almost died numerous times during my childhood, and teenagehood because i didn't get care, that is absolutely not my fault.

lol

hold on gotta look somehing up

Three pictures are displayed. The first is a picture with a Magic the Gathering card and a circular piece of wood. The card has a circular piece taken out. The text reads as the following:

D&D players, here’s a great way to turn your old Magic cards into tokens in case you don’t have any minis.

The second is a reaction meme with Skipper from the Penguins of Madagascar TV show.

The third is a screenshot showing the value of the Magic the Gathering card from the first picture. At TCGplayer.com the card, a Black Lotus, is shows at the value of $42,000.

After reblogging this post an hour or so ago I wised up and realized there’s no reason to make a game token for a blue flower. To demonstrate the utility of this craft technique, you’d use an orc or an elf or something like that. The first image above has got to be a photoshop. Here’s the original image:

I hope I keep seeing iterations of this post with new additions of “actually that’s photoshopped, THIS is the real image” with an increasing number of wildly expensive Magic cards.

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao
