i completely stumped this quiz (and also tend to stump people in my life) by having a dad who grew up living all over the map (including outside the US for a bit) and a mom from arkansas. they both moved to MA and ended up with kids who talk like "coastal elites." (i've never lived in cali or maine)
my personal map from the dialect quiz, which couldn't quite place me but did manage to eke out portland (maine) as well as SF and LA as possibilities

i was looking for some old tweets in my twitter archive file and i found them but decided not to respost them because they were stupid. on the other hand, these ones are pretty funny. i have no fucking idea what i was talking about in the gamecube one... a response to something on the TL that day?
old tweet i wrote on jan 3, 2021: part of twitter is also that there is this earpiece we all have to wear that explains to us why we have to keep logging in. that's the only reason why we're here. (touches ear) oh, that doesn't exist? ah

second tweet (technically sent first): i guess i'll log back in when it's not a constant stream of explicit trauma descriptions and unfunny jokes about same. (touches earpiece) oh, that's by design? ahone of my tweets from aug 18, 2021: i personally thought the gamecube was a cool console because i liked super monkey ball and melee and wind waker and also it had a little handle on it like a lunchbox. but i guess i forgot the other huge upside which is that it's a doorway into a cursed portal

another tweet i wrote (which also technically precedes the other one): "i didn't want to get trapped in the nightmare-scape of luigi's mansion but that's what i get for hitting on that suspiciously gorgeous goth gal with a forbidden necklace hand-crafted by her uncle who works at nintendo" -- a typical gamecube owner

i am writing a book! i’ve been talking to the creators of doom, marine doom, & america’s army, plus academics, drone experts, former military… it’s been so fascinating and i am excited to share it with you all. all that time i spent playing CS as a teen is finally paying off lol

A detailed look at the history of first-person shooters, the gun lobby, violence, military simulators and recruitment tools, and the psychology of why it feels so satisfying to point a gun at someone’s head in a video game and pull the trigger, to Jacqueline Young at Grand Central, in an exclusive submission, for publication in summer 2028, by Charlie Olsen at Inkwell Management (world English).

Charlit Floriano, a 3D artist who worked on developer KO_OP's upcoming title Young Suns, posited that beauty ideals may be embedded in how we teach 3D art. "When I was learning 3D animation, I would watch a ton of tutorials and every tutorial was the same kind of woman, body and face," she told Mothership. "It's actually really hard to find tutorials where you're learning how to model an interesting face. People think that if the face looks different it's a mistake."

i was curious about this and TIL (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain%27t...)
For the song's bridge, Withers had intended to write more lyrics instead of repeating the phrase "I know" 26 times, but then followed the advice of the other musicians to leave it that way. Withers stated: "I was this factory worker puttering around. So when they said to leave it like that, I left it."

i got way too close with this prediction lmaooo (from my review of episode 4 of life is strange 1) www.themarysue.com/review-life-...
"Now that I know the real genre of Life Is Strange, I'm ready for Episode 5 to conclude with something like Max's evil twin appearing from another dimension to reveal that Chloe is a long-lost space princess who has to die in order to reset the universe."

oh also this entire storyline for hank. venture bros does this interesting thing where if a character does something non-normative, the "joke" response often is that characters will refuse to react to it. which ends up being accidentally progressive

i've been reading a lot of threads w/recommendations of video game media/podcasts/streams/etc. with non-male hosts, for Reasons that'll become clear at a future point in time, & unfortunately i have become more mentally ill from reading bad takes about this. sorry for example bad take in screenshot
a screenshot of a reddit comment about the podcast What's Good Games which reads "

I used to love What's Good Games but what pushed me away is that it became more of a podcast about them being women than it did about them being gamers. It kind of almost felt like it went from being entertainment to being preachy. And sadly Andrea was kind of the driving force for that. Britney and Steimer(when she was a member) were fantastic at keeping it fun but Andrea (and even Rihanna) kinda drug it down entertainment wise. They both had amazing knowledge of the gaming industry and I loved that about them.

I will say, something else I loved about the show was the overall structure. It felt like there was an actual plan behind each segment and it didn't get too ranty.

But overall I wasn't surprised to see that they canceled the show because it really did become way more about them being women in gaming versus just being gamers."

this was such a nostalgia trip and so fun to look up!!! unfortunately, this isn't the first steam account i ever had; i actually had one in the early 2000s that was basically just counter-strike. i lost the login though and had to make a new one in 2007. anybody else remember zeno clash? weird game.
