i was reading about crow languages ability for displacement and found this paragraph which made me laugh, for some reason


Honeybees use the waggle dance to communicate the location of a patch of flowers suitable for foraging. The degree of displacement in this example remains limited when compared to human language. A bee can only communicate the location of the most recent food source it has visited. It cannot communicate an idea about a food source at a specific point in the past, nor can it speculate about food sources in the future.[2] In addition, displacement in the waggle dance is restricted by the language's lack of creativity and productivity. The bees can express direction and distance, but it has been experimentally determined that they lack a sign for "above".

So just an advance notice, I guess we'll be watching The Idolm@sters: Cinderella Girls anime tomorrow February 10, at 1:00pm PST // 4:00pm EST // 9:00pm GMT, which isn't the most ideal of times for Americans on a weekday but shrug lmao.

I forget where the goon group left off but I think it was the third episode

Reminder that we'll be simulwatching some anime on synchtube in three hours!

been debating getting back into ffxiv once 3.2 hits ever since pat from best friends play talked about getting back in, especially since as he explained 3.2 is going to be the catch up patch so i won't have to grind bullshit as hard.

My highest class is still 33 so I'm very far from the point where I need to gear up for raids, but I'm glad that they're removing some of the grind with 3.2. I read up on the 3.1 stuff and it seemed a little ridiculous in terms of grind requirements.

completely irrelevant, but I just decided to check the lodestone page for my character and a character named Futaba Anzu was the most recent one to make a blog entry on the community wall.

they're a potato, but i think given the circumstances it's a fitting race for the character

that's how FF14 works, every other patch adds either a grind or a catchup

And that's why Wo-class is still the best Abyssal Fleet design, because she looks very human while also being alien and otherworldly. She has a very clean and effective appearance.

the actual final chapter is kinda weird though, cause the ending isn't really rushed, it gets there at a good pace and ends at a logical place but then the whole epilogue feels like it got about half the pages it needed. apparently the magazine went under, but it must have been really sudden. like it deserves another epilogue chapter

my biggest problem with the design that i was reminded of today when i saw the new akizuki class was that a lot of ships in the same class end up looking the same without anything to really visually differentiate them from each other. which makes sense because theyre sister ships, sure, but then i look at tatsuta and tenryuu, who are also sister ships, but are visually distinct from each other while also sharing common design elements to link them to each other.


(also their portrait art is fairly badly drawn, but that's beside the point.)

same with yamato and musashi



so when i see two who just look the same its just boring and lazy to me.
