Back after, like, a decade. This will be my space for fanfiction, fandom (Zelda, D&D, Mass Effect, Sailor Moon, etc), with a good sprinkling of space science, astrophotography and a healthy (obscenely) dose of science fiction and fantasy

“i liked it before it was cool” well i liked it AFTER it was cool when everyone abandoned it

i get really into shows that aired like 5+ years ago like “have y’all heard of this”

Me with Bubblegum Crisis right now

I cannot stress enough how they - made this post - got hard ratioed and berated into the fucking stratosphere - deleted the post within the hour. - TRIED AGAIN ON A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT MEANT TO SPECIFICALLY PROMOTE PHOTOSHOP before they even changed the display name (similarly to this screenshot) - repeat of first three events.

Zelda Heritage Post

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.

TotK voice memo locations (preview)

So we have a new feature in the Switch 2 enhanced versions of BotW/TotK where they give extra lore via "voice memos"! In the Nintendo Treehouse today, we were able to catch a glimpse of the full TotK map with locations of them, and boy it is dense!

Here's what I've been able to plot, based off the map at this part of the video:

Note that, of course, some of this data may not be precise, and I can't account for all the overlapping ones in densely-covered places like the Castle or villages. Nonetheless, let your imagination run free with what Zelda might have to say at those locations...

yeah libraries are cool but have you ever found a library with a secret doorway disguised as a bookshelf that leads to a smaller, hidden library filled with ancient books full of mysteries and forgotten knowledge? me neither and i'm sad about it

I think maybe the real secret doorway with a tiny, hidden library filled with ancient books full of mysteries and forgotten knowledge are the links to Google drives people post in Discord servers.

Unironically, vegans need to be advocating for more and better sheep, llama, and alpaca farms. Wool is one of the best fabrics we have in terms of versatility, longevity and most importantly, insulation. Even wet, it retains 80% of it’s insulation potential.

AND IT DOESN’T SHED MICROPLASTICS

Like, there’s literally nothing you can do to a sheep that’s as morally reprehensible as dumping plastic down the gullet of literally every other living thing. You wanna talk about animal welfare? Talk about reducing the amount of microplastics produced by rayon, polyester, and spandex.
