Sing It With Me:

the colors of winter

Longest application process ever. So many interview rounds. So much traveling.

Tumblr engineering...

We do what we must, because we can.

For the good of all of us,

Except the ones who are banned.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

You just keep on trying till you run out of bells.

And the engineering gets done, and you dev some neat crabs,

For the people who are still around

i’m currently going through the process of getting my new laptop ready for mobile development through Cordova, a setup with the reliability of a coughing baby. i’ve painstakingly written down notes detailing every single step over the years and it is still giving me headaches every time. everything has changed somehow. i’ve just reinstalled a precise version of gradle (don’t ask) and the folder architecture is apparently completely different this time around. help me

Something that all the people shouting "the Twitter invasion will ruin Tumblr!!!!!" are not understanding is that those newcomers... belonged here all along.

We are talking about people who are willing to uproot from their social safe place and move to a wild new frontier... Because Elon Musk bought Twitter.

See, your average Twitter user who don't care about Musk, or even may dislike him in an abstract manner, is not going to move anywhere.

It's the people who oppose what Musk ideologically represents who will end here. Those who will get harassed there for being leftist, gay, trans, socially conscious, etc.

You know, the people who will fit well in the site of the blue haired people with all kind of pronouns and genders and identities.

They are our stranded siblings, they belong here. Be nice to them!

TW water temple in OOT, I guess

zelda dungeon design peaked in twilight princess

breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom have a combined total of one (1) real dungeon - the spirit temple in totk, which barely gets a passing grade. everything else is just "turn on the 4 batteries" over and over again, which is such a decline from what we used to get

sure, there were a few "turn on the 4 things" in previous games, but that would be just ONE of the AT LEAST 6-7 dungeons. we used to have such variety as

"enter this giant fish and navigate its insides"

"this is my yeti house and i'm a wife guy ohnO my wIFE is EVIL FOR A bit"

"flood and drain this cavern infinite times to access different areas, screw the ecosystem. also fight yourself"

what's your favourite colour of the sky?
