Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
[video description: mark kanemura lip-syncing and dancing along carly rae jepsen’s cut to the feeling, the chorus just starting im the video. he is wearing nothing but rainbow briefs, a rainbow flag wrapped around his hips, and a rainbow scarf hanging from his neck, while on his head multiple bob-length, colored wigs are stacked, which he plucks off along to the beat and throws off-screen towards the camera. every wig is colored in the scheme of the pride rainbow; the final bob-length wig he dramatically removes with the scarf, revealing a longer wig underneath thats in a rainbow gradient. pulling out a fan and opening it with a snap, he fans himself, then throws that away too, then grabs the last wig and shakes confetti out of it on top of his head. he throws the wig at the camera, and the video ends /end description]

Tawny frogmouth. Nightjars in genera look like they've got tiny little beaks when they're closed
and then they open their mouth and it is a not tiny at all beak.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I just played a video game called Vale: Shadow of the Crown. It has a blind protagonist and is 100% navigated by audio. You need headphones to play it. I was intrigued by the premise, but worried that it would be a gimmick that wouldn’t actually hold up well.
Turns out it worked just fine and I found myself really sucked in! I even turned off all the lights and played much of the game with my eyes closed. Though there were a few difficult sections (for me, using the bow was hard), it was mostly pretty intuitive. Honestly, the biggest problem was getting sleepy after a while, because as far as my body is concerned, if I spend that much time with my eyes closed, it’s bed time.
Anyway, it was a neat story with good voice acting and I actually really enjoyed the combat sections. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a novel gaming experience, as well as to anyone who has impaired vision.
Agreed!
To give more of a plot synopsis and potentially draw more people in, the story is about a blind princess named Alex who is sent to a remote corner of the kingdom when her father dies and her brother assumes the throne. Her convoy is attacked and it appears that war has suddenly come to her kingdom. She decides to go back to the capital to warn her brother, and enlists the aid of a shepherd to help guide her on the long journey. Though she grew up fairly sheltered, her uncle trained her in weaponry and self defense and these abilities flourish over the course of this adventure (she also learns some magic as well!).
It takes a little less than 7 hours to play through the story, and I mostly did it in one sitting because I got hooked. And if the Falling Squirrel development team comes out with any other audio based games, I’d definitely be inclined to give them a try.

Lemme tell you the story of this gun my wife showed me.
At first, I immediatly assumed it belonged to her grandfather who was a lieutenant in the french military. Not a fan of guns and didn't think much of it.
" No it belonged to my great-grandmother!"
She then told me the entire story of badass great grandmother Jeanne, that I need to share here.
Its important to note the time period it takes place in: Right smack in the middle of WWII.
Jeanne was of Jewish heritage but she immediatly realized things were starting to get ugly concerning Jews and took the decision to baptize herself and her children at the last minute so she had paperworks to show Nazi officials to lie about her jewish upbringing. This move saved her life and that of her children.
Some times later, another nazi official was investigating the weird deaths of his collegues in the area, and was suspecting resistance hideouts down the river because thats where they found the bodies So he knocked door to door, and asked if anyone noticed anything, under threats obviously.
Jeanne opened the door and told the Nazi official she didn't notice anything, playing the role of the frightened by everything going on, harmless young lady, living alone after her husband died. The guy immediatly dropped his guard , and Jeanne invited him inside for tea since it was already late and cold out.
The -moment- he stepped inside and his back was to her as he removed his coat. She took out this exact gun out of her dress and shot him point blank in the head.
-She- was the resistance member killing Nazis knocking on her door, dumping their body in the river, so the bodies would travel south to a region well know for resistance soldiers, and making the nazis think it was them killing officials patrolling the area. They -never- suspected her. Being a woman, living alone and "with a fragile constitution".
Absolute badass great grandmother Jeanne was shooting nazis daring to knock on her door with this very gun, avenging a large portion of her family, who didn't make the decision she did and were lost to the war.
Huge respect, Great Grandmother in Law. Huge respect.
