Honestly? I'm of the mind that unless someone is altered by external matters, everything we do is in character, just not necessarily things we prefer. By external, I mean something like a drug, heat exhaustion, etc, that changes how our brain and body function, and thus can lead to success/behaviors that we wouldn't do at all otherwise.

Everyone feels anger and wants to scream a little, even if extremely rarely. That kind of thing, it's all a matter of how extreme the situation is vs the internal resources available. Stuff like asking for a hug is sorta inverse in vibe, but the same principle.

I get what you're asking, and I'm not poopooing it, just prefacing my actual response.

For me, my out of character stuff is when I'm social. I don't like most people, and dislike groups of people even when it's a group of people I like. So in those rare times when I want to go out among strangers, particularly if I want to go along, that's such a rare and unusual thing that I think it counts for what you're asking. But it is still part of my character, just a very tiny part (unlike me getting sick enough of people to do some screaming lol)

I'm planning on a massive heart attack at 70. That's all y'all motherfuckers are getting out of me

Alas, the bottom half.

Look, my entire left arm, right testicle, and half my cock are pure chocolate at this point

Ouch. Desktop version on mobile is bad, but not because of the font. The color scheme along with the background makes it rough to see the letters at all. The buttons are also hard to use. I don't have my laptop available right now, but ima send a note to myself to check it tomorrow

For real, someone putting in effort for accessibility is a really cool thing to see. If I brain fart and don't respond again tomorrow, feel free to dm me as reminder.

Ahhh, I'm on mobile. Lemme try to load it as desktop

I'd say it's about 90-95% readable without effort for me. The italics sections are a little harder, but that's not unusual for me to begin with. I don't think increased spacing beyond what you've got would improve anything, though a single increase in font size might.

The numbers are actually harder than the letters tbh. Again, not unusual for me, but I think a littlemore spacing would help there.

Just be aware that dyslexia can be a pain in the ass to be accessible for. It kinda defies attempts, and it expresses a little different between individuals, even with the same basic type. Imo, where you're at is a great starting place. Compared to something like the new York Times site, you're better for my eyes. What with the c/ for gift articles, I think it's a good baseline to compare to.

Ehhh, gotta go with fascination street, like a basic bitch, maybe pictures of you.

Can't lie, disintegration is their peak album for me, though they have some great songs on all the others.

Sorry, but this is in my head with the Swedish chef's fake accent, and nothing can change that

Surprise and fear.

Nobody expects the septic inquisition

I think that this can serve as a litmus test for Mastodon. If you don't like this performance, you'll probably not like the band at all.

I happen to like it, and hope anyone seeing it does too ::

Romancing the gith (sh.itjust.works)

So, I only recently started my first run through. Didn't give a flying fig about the romance stuff, it was just something to click through to get back to story and combat.

Annnnd then act 3 hits, and Lae'zel wants to talk one morning and gives a dialogue that actually brought a tear to my eye. Ffs, she's one of the least likable characters at the beginning of the game. More an annoyance than anything else, story wise.

And then she rejects her queen, finds love and there's this beautiful moment. Definitely not the writing I expected for her, but damned if it didn't work.

Makes me want to actually pay attention to the romance arcs now, see what the rest are like.

Ahhh, that sweet, sweet Viking brutality.

Not that anyone but other comic geeks are likely to care, but I knew from one thing that the show would flop.

This one thing showed very clearly that it was a show being pushed by executives that didn't understand the source material in the hopes of wringing an little cash out of the Inhumans since the X-Men were out of the running. At the time, that was Marvel's big push, to make the Inhumans popular so that they could take the place of the X-Men in fandom. Which was doomed to fail to begin with just like the show.

But, that one thing. Medusa. The second she was bald, it was obvious that the entire show was half-assed. Making her hair, the super power she has, disappear could be a decision made only by someone that didn't want to spend money on the character.

Which showed blatantly that the show would be low quality in every other way too. If you aren't willing to invest in your main characters, any show is fucked from day one. Anyone trying to make an Inhumans show, seeing Medusa and thinking "Damn, that hair is going to be a major CGI expense. I know! Lets shave the hair off! That'll fix it!" Is about as uncreative and stupid as it gets, and needed to find a job outside of tv and movies.

It's a freaking super-being show. And they went out of their way to make said beings as un-super as possible.

At some point in that process, someone with some authority didn't just scrap out as a bad idea and wasted a shit ton of money and time. It was doomed before it ever got the first scene filmed because the people running it were idiots

Yet again they manage to surprise the hell out of me

Not a typo, not a mistake, just a perfect cover

Do they ever release anything that isn't balls out excellent?

So, there's this video all about evolution and our growing understanding of flight and feathers.

Me? I'm watching it going "oh, who's a cute little chicken?" And "awwww, baby birdy!"

I'm a fucking chicken simp now.
