Do kids today even understand why podcasts are called podcasts?

Well, you see, kids, almost twenty years ago Apple produced a portable audio player called – wait, I need to go back further.

Okay, so in the 20th century, the new inventions of radio and television were known as broadcast media – no, wait, that’s not really the start either –

Broadcasting originally refers to throwing, or casting, handfuls of seeds onto prepared ground, typically used with grain crops, which, uh –

– the Agrucultural Revoution, which begain circa 10,000 BC in the Levant, was when humans began preserving seeds for replanting –

I fixed it.

Dorothy: Dorothy Franks

Silence: Olivia Silence

Mayer: Mayer Stony

Saria: referred to only as Saria

Ifrit: file name inherited from Haydn Pharmaceuticals

Magallan: referred to only as Magallan

Astesia: Astesia Urbica

Astgenne: Astgenne Urbica

Ptilopsis: Joyce Moore

Do you think Ptilopsis felt disappointed, do you think she felt betrayed, when she spent all that effort to come up with a cool codename only to find out every single one of her colleagues just wrote down their prior names and called it a day?

There’s so many operators in Arknights that sometimes I gloss over the fun parts of lower leveled ones.

For example, a lot of the operators have these unique weapons that stand out. Ifrit has a flamethrower. I saw one that’s just carrying a giant slab of concrete as a shield. Specter popped out of Yharnam with the whirligig saw and goes to town. Cliffheart has a grappling hook that she uses to yoink enemies into gaps and it’s great. Someone I borrowed uses a chainsaw and then decides “hey, you know what would make this chainsaw better? If it could chainsaw things further away” and attaches it to a giant stick so she can reach further.

Then there’s Cuora. Elaborate weapons aren’t her style. Nah she just went to the trunk of her car, grabbed her baseball bat and beats the shit out of enemies with that.

Look at her. So practical. That’s the face of someone that cares more about efficiency than style.

Ok, well maybe some style. Gotta make sure the last thing enemies see is CUORA coming at them full speed.

Anyways, I love Cuora.

Mudrock truly is one of the most characters of all time. She wears a giant bulky hazmat suit everywhere. She's absolutely gorgeous underneath. Canon insists that she's short. The fandom (rightly) ignores that and knows she is over six feet tall and utterly ripped. She is a weirdo who talks to dirt. She is a powerful hammer-wielding stonemason. She is an esoteric witch wielding an unknown magic. She has magic rock cancer. She is the leader of a splinter faction of revolutionaries. She is a weirdo who talks to dirt. She is very deep and wise and philosophical. She is also no thoughts head empty. She is gorgeous. She has a weirdly deer-in-headlights expression a lot of the time. She could kill you in one hit. She's having a redemption arc. She doesn't need a redemption arc. She is, and I cannot stress this enough, gorgeous, and a weirdo who talks to dirt.

yes honey your ecstasies are holy and your visions are divinely inspired can we fuck now
