if in homestuck the beginning of the alpha kid apocalypse is 11/11/11 skyrim will have had a chance to come out and circulate but it might not have had a chance to get released more than once, whereas the beta kids never got to play skyrim or minecraft
actually on further evaluation the world doesnt fully end until the 2020s when the usa government and media fully meld and everything just collapses and in the buildup media gets widely countercultural and rebellious and the layers of irony pile up so yknow what we’re actually probably well on track so im going to revise this
roxy and dirk know about more re releases of skyrim than us
do they know if another good fallout game came out or did the apocalypse happen to compensate for that
Man. I feel so thirsty lately. I can’t drink enough water. I feel like the senator guy in that X-Men movie after getting exposed to Magneto’s mutant machine, and he keeps drinking drinking drinking water uncontrollably until he dives into the ocean and becomes a terrifying jellyfish creature and explodes. Freaking Magneto. I was already sympathetic to the mutant cause. Why you gotta hate?
You’re not a mutant, honey, you’re a mermaid. It’s all right. Once your scales start coming in, you won’t be as thirsty.
You know, being a diagnostician in a world with more public magical creatures must be a trip and a half.
“Extreme thirst has a lot of causes. Let’s check your blood sugar, and let’s take a skin sample to see if you’re developing scales.”
“Joint pain is pretty common when someone’s pushing themself that way with training, and I’d definitely recommend some rest, but it sounds like it’s been coming on with the moon so we might want to do a blood test to check for lycanthropy.”
“I’m going to give you this journal. Keep track of how often you’re near bodies of water and copses of trees – not single trees, there needs to be a cluster.”
“Bear with me, I know you’re lactose intolerant, but buy a pint of milk and keep it in your kitchen. If it spoils faster than expected, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on here.”
“Have you considered that you may not, in fact, actually be a mammal?”
“Okay, I’m going to have to refer you to a specialist. It looks like your tertiary dentition is coming in.”
“I think we need to check for allergic reactions to silver, iron, a few types of wood, garlic, and holy water. That’ll help us rule out some possible causes for this rash. In the mean time I think you should avoid Italian food and holy ground.”
“Have you noticed clusters of birds following you? Were they corvids? Hm, interesting. You ought to come in to the office so we can discuss this further.”
“That itching sensation might be a rash, but I think we ought to give you an MRI and see if you’re about to grow horns.”
So basically, medicine in the Dark Ages, upgraded.
This is literally my dream as a writer and my worst nightmare as a nurse
So I imagine a supernatural version of House where almost every episode someone is like “it’s lycanthropy” and the House character goes “it’s never lycanthropy” except for the one episode it is where the title of the episode is lycanthropy.
magic brian probably wasnt even a bad guy, which really hurts me. captain captain bane was a great dude until suddenly he tried to poison thb and then drank the poison himself. this power… really fucking corrupts. brian was probably a really fun, sweet guy if he was so kind even when corrupted and faced with people who totally want to kill him. he was even polite when dealing with taako AFTER he had killed him once before. he must have been…. such a delight? i want more brian the sweet BoB spider dude who compliments all of his coworkers and can go toe to toe with magnus in the hospitality department. im love him
“Y’know, you have a lot of bad ideas, especially when it comes to riding sparrows, but hopping merrily onto a ride bristling with extradimensional ontomorphically corrupted Hive chitin has got to be the worst.”
“I think you mean ‘the baddest.’”
“That is most assuredly not what I mean.”
“Look, after the streak I’ve had in the Crucible, I’m about this far past giving a crap.”
“You were on a streak?”
“A streak of repeated crushing, yeah. Woke up this morning feeling like one of those old flattened cans we used to use for target practice in the Cosmodrome.”
“Oh.”
“So point is I’m about ready to try out some ascendant sparrow shenanigans and see if I can’t have a little fun along the way.”
“Will it be fun if this thing’s corruption infects you while you ride?”
“It’s not going to take me, if that’s what you’re worried about. No king left to do the taking, remember?”
“Yeah, but maybe the ontomorphic effect can still spread passively… like that taken goo we still find all over the place. What if it gets on your pants? Are you prepared to suffer the consequences of taken pants?”
It’s called a Laminar Flow. Water usually has a lot of turbulence in it, and that is that causes it to look rather chaotic when it’s spraying out of a hose.
Laminar Flow occurs when all the water is moving in the exact same direction, eliminating turbulence, and thus, creating a flow of water that looks like glass.
Still, the idea that this is creating Laminar flow randomly is quite incredible, usually it requires specially built nozzles to create it.
