WHAT

The Ise Grand Shrine, the supreme Shinto sanctuary located on Honshu island, is 1,300 years old for the millions of Japanese people who go there on pilgrimage every year. But in reality this temple complex is completely rebuilt from scratch every 20 years.

I've been there! That was my first exposure to that concept of "replacing all the parts of a thing doesn't make it stop being the same thing". I still find that whole idea really cool.

and then

This religious practice is so alien to Western art historians that, after heated debates, UNESCO removed this Shinto temple from the list of World Heritage sites. For the experts at UNESCO, the shrine is 20 years old at most.

c'mon man -__-

I always did find it weird how like, an incredibly accurate forgery of a painting is worth so much less than the original. It's such a good forgery that you couldn't even tell the difference! It looks just as good!

it's fucking beautiful

I also fucking LOVE how they've incorporated other dragonfly elements into this design, like the cheek pouches that look like dragonfly eyes

I ADORE dragons with unusual wing structures, I need to get more adventurous about em in my own drawings

the best parts are when he does the "tap-tap... tap-tap" on the soldier's helmets imo

death to false (ie: non-cat) queens!

ur cat wants to take her rightful place upon the throne

death to queens

ok ok ok who do we got, I don't know a lot of shooters

halo man obv, duke nukem dude also unfortunately

I guess someone from CoD? do those games have any memorable characters?

courier from fallout new vegas; i guess the vault person from fallout 3 as well, why not

ALL THE CHARACTERS FROM JET FORCE GEMINI

Time Splitters had... characters? Didn't it have like a dinosaur or something? that.

Gordon McFreeman

Oddjob

Doom Man

Chell? Portal isn't really an fps, she's probably more suited to a smash bros-style game tbh, but. I like Her.

I assume there are characters in Bioshock, so. One of them.

Would you include any tf2 characters? The heavy is the most iconic but idk

Counterstrike and Quake exist but i know literally nothing about them

CRYSIS CYBORG MAN(or maybe it was a cyber-suit idk)

Borderlands friends

Metal's gear solid

one of the deus ex boys. Probably adam jensen cause he's got the cool arms that he never asked for

aaaand I'm pretty sure that's every FPS ever made ever in history!

omg it's so pretty! are those goldfinches?

it was tho

yea i don't like to look at them, don't like to know they exist

he got his comeuppance

y'know that is a good point, knowing up front is a sight better than the just... random nonsense they've been doing. I just really miss being able to watch an episode and then spend a week discussing it, that pace really worked for me, but I get that with such a heavily serialized show they want to lean toward the bomb format

my biggest qualms other than initial cost are:

I don't really... go places... much? So the portability seems a bit wasted on me

and

one of the big reasons I want it is for local multiplayer stuff, but the controllers are MAD expensive

that's what I'm hoping to hold out for but it'll be at least another year, minimum

kill me
