there’s something about it that’s just disturbingly real.
like i can come here and spout whatever nonsense i want, and ya’ll will tolerate it.
twitter is like an alien world where i don’t know what’s gonna happen, if fucking ted cruz is gonna respond to me or what.
it’s nerve wracking, it’s too mainstream.
i prefer this bullcrap where no one knows anyone or what’s going on at any given time.
But do u remember that time when a writer came at you here?
that’s true, but unlike twitter, i was only tumblr shamed.
and tumblr shaming doesn’t work on me because tumblr shaming is like if a group of furries came with signs to shame a filthy otaku.
on twitter, it’s like JK Rowling is gonna slap me with some half assed white corporate feminism and have her drones of cult followers come to shit on me for speaking.
or like blake shelton is gonna @ me for making fun of his music, and all of his fans are gonna light the fire under my feet.
it’s way different, being controversial on a mainstream media site.
tumblr’s a cesspit of stupidity, but it’s an obscure and strange cesspit of stupidity.
twitter’s a little too real.
trump and obama can have a rap battle on twitter and make it a part of us history.
tumblr isn’t the same way.
we all die in obscurity on tumblr, and i prefer it.
twitter feels like im in full sight of the snipers and i cant even duck behind a clown car to avoid them
On tumblr you’re in the clown car, hurtling towards a cliff at mach 3 with a few dozen others in the same car.
See, it’s metaphors like these that you can only get on Tumblr, that perfectly describe what it’s like being on Tumblr.
The reality is im sure obsidian has been working on their new game for a long while and had absolutely no idea fo76 was even going to launch and definitely had no idea the launch wouldve been such a horrible experience for a big portion of bethesdas customers
But the absolute comedic timing of everything that happened in the timeline of bethesda and fo76: beta deleted self, no refund policy, bag fiasco, releasing info of customers…
Then obsidian just like. Shows up with a new scifi rpg ip thats themed anti-capitalism and retro…ish, right after all that. Like im sure it was absolutely unintentional, they had no idea fo76 was going to bomb, it just, did that. The trailer might not even have had “from the creators of the original fallout/fnv” in it since some obsidian writers have been specifically trying to break away from it but like i just imagine last night somone probably told the video editor after seeing the flank like “hey joe…i have a petty thing i need done…”
a leucistic common raven going for a stroll. while usually leucism (a reduction in pigmentation) presents as a few white feathers in ravens and crows, they can also be overall paler like this bird.
Trying to find the perfect name for a character, but you only have a vague idea of what you want, like “he feels like a 2-syllable kind of guy” or “It need a hard consonant at the end.”
we all gripe about this site’s past and present and future because yes it sucks so why has it been literal years since I’ve seen any posts recalling ye olde Post Limit
I’m sorry the What
You could only make and reblog like 150 posts within a certain period of time to control traffic or whatever, and when you hit that limit you would be unable to post or reblog anything for sometimes several hours.
There was an ENTIRE external site called postlimit dot com that everyone had bookmarked because you’d search up your url there and it gave you a countdown to when the effects of your banishment would be lifted.
A lot of people would hit Post Limit at similar times so we used to go to like Skype or whatever and chat (because tumblr did not have an on-site messaging system beyond fan mail at the time) while we all waited for tumblr to free us from the little shame lockers they shoved us in.
I still keep hitting post limit because I keep dumping my queue out in order to include them in my backups
Post limits still a thing, postlimit dot com still works
Can confirm that post limit is still a thing. It’s currently at 250 posts a day, and I’ve hit it for the last couple days… probably because of reblogging so many posts about how messed up the new tumblr changes are, ironically enough.
Holy Shit It’s Still Here
oh, and if you’re still curious, this spreads across all your sideblogs too. so if you post 100 things to your sideblog, you only have 150 things for you main and/or any other sideblogs lmao
