I'm close to buying a house: my current offer is at 225.000€ for a 88m² house with 4 rooms, 163 m² parcel. However I have to do a ton of work there to get it to a state that is up to current standards, like the electric switch box, the bathrooms, windows... The garden is also more a jungle than habitable. I hope I won't regret it.

@scribus The garden is full of bushes and other stuff. The owners planted a fir tree relatively in the middle and it has grown so big that there is barely any room left for anything else. The first thing that has to be done in that garden is to fell the tree. Also it is such a kind of fir tree that is not even beautiful and full. It looks more like a skeleton of a tree with more branches than needles.

The biggest trap in"adult" animation is that it uses vulgarity and crass situations too often. It's easy to appeal to juvenile adults with "forbidden" stuff like violence and sexuality but the more lasting stuff are the more day-to-day real adult situations the characters have to deal with. These situations can be comical or otherwise but the basis has to be familiar and relatable and somewhat a base adult life experience. The earlier Simpsons seasons are one of the best as they are not flanderized to the extreme. Bob's Burgers is similar as most episodes deal with heightened but not completely unrealistic situations. I'm not against some violence but it can be grating and numbing and boring when it is used too often.

@chomper These days you can throw a stone and always hit one. The last one I saw was "Inside Job" on Netflix, mostly because it was produced by Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) but it was sadly right in the valley of mediocrity because it went "adult" route and used unnecessary vulgarity.
-
@chomper Hey, I love "Helluva Boss!" I don't deny any of the accusations, lol. Just saying that uuhhhh..... I guess it's lazy *if* you're doing it for fauz gravitas, but it can still be fun. I wouldn't say that's *all* HB has going for it or going on; there's a lot of interpersonal relationship and character development under the bloodbath and pottymouth.
-
@scribus I like most of helluva actually! I just find the edgy humor to be boring and uncreative lol. But I genuinely like a few of the characters and the worldbuilding/lore.

@adiwan oh apple wait does this still work?? all the 3rd party apps I was using got locked out earlier this year and I've been stuck using a hacked version of the main app that fixes most of my issues but is really buggy lol.
-
@chomper It works for now. I was also surprised it wasn't blocked. I guess the user base is so low (and open source) that it doesn't make any difference.
-
@chomper And thank the Users that we can't be bothered by the rest of the Fediverse anymore!

Trying to hit a balance on content is frustrating to me because I don’t want to be vulgar for the sake of it but I also don’t want to be made to tone the adult themes down because the show’s not vulgar enough to appeal to adults. It just seems like there isn’t a market anymore for The Simpsons-level adult content that’s adult on a more conceptual level instead of just relying on vulgarity to appear adult, and that frustrates me.

The teenagers working for me seemed to be under the impression they could just show up to work on their own schedule because I couldn’t possibly fire ALL of them, so today I fired all of them and now they’re super confused about it.

@scribus tears of the kingdom not being multiplayer is a wasted opportunity in general tbh, the amount of insane papaya you’d be able to do with the Rust building mechanics… you don’t even need to justify a second Link, the game does it for you with the Naruto shadow clones that everyone seems to be able to use now.

@zeldatra Man, I have got to overcome my Fallout New Vegas addiction so I can get addicted to Tears of the Kingdom already

I keep running into this problem where the things I write are usually totally cool on the internet where nobody can really stop me from describing mangoio in the crudest terms possible, but right now I’m writing for what is possibly going to be on television and those same words would probably get me a very nasty letter from standards and practices. It’s very hard to go from writing like you’re your own boss to writing in such a way that won’t lose the network twenty million dollars in Wendy’s advertising.

@zeldatra Do like other great shows did: invent new dirty words! Battlestar Galactica used *frak* all the time. It's not about the word, it's all about the inflection. I believe the most innocent word can be turned into a swear word when it's used as a swear word long enough. Using adjacent words can be also a nice opportunity to widen the vocabulary.
-
@adiwan Oh yeah, for real. My great-grandma would never, ever cuss... but she made "fool" sound like the *real* F-word if she got riled up.

OK.... Tears of the Kingdom... What does "tears" refer to? Is it the liquid coming out of the eyes (for example while crying) or is it the edge of two pieces of a material/object that has been ripped apart (for example tearing a piece of paper in two pieces)?

@thelastgherkin Aaah... So it is not derived from the German word "Tier" (plural "Tiere"), which means "animal".

@scribus Good lord I wish, the previous game indirectly mentioned the events of Twilight Princess exactly one time and that seems to be the only acknowledgment Nintendo is willing to give that game.

next time something like NFTs drops that could make me a ton of money but is ethically unsound, could somebody please let me know before you tell everyone else so that I can get in early and when the whole thing explodes I can be like “damn they hired death squads in WHICH developing nation? Oh man I didn’t know my bad dude” and run off with the money while publicly taking a stand against whatever terrible thing I’ve been complicit in

@scribus no vandalism at my store yet but it’s coming I think, a group of Trumpers came in last week and stole literally every newspaper reporting on his arrest so they could trash it before anyone could read it so I’m expecting those same guys to try some apple with the Bud Light too
-
@scribus The masterminds at Budweiser came up with the perfect evil plan: if you don't buy it you're a somethingphobe, if you buy it you have to drink Bud Light. With this masterful move, they can cause suffering to all peoples of the nation.

@scribus Tanner Cook, apparently the subject of the prank whipped out a gun and shot him in the stomach, then the sheriff came and arrested them both. Since he didn’t die, I think I’m perfectly fine to say that I hope this incident causes these dudes to think twice about it from now on
