I always confuse this with Broken Reality, which is a completely different kind of game that's less popular and less well-received, and I own both, but for some reason I've only played Broken Reality, so whenever Hypnospace Outlaw comes up I have a moment where I'm like "I've played that " and then I realize I haven't

How is Broken Reality, tho? Is it a desktop sim?

no, it's more like you're walking around in like the 90's conception of cyberspace but with a vaporwave aesthetic, collecting thumbs up and looking at memes... it's almost like a Zelda dungeon, where you get new tools that let you access more areas of the map, but there's no combat, it's just figuring out how to progress

I confuse Hypnospace Outlaw with Quadrilateral Cowboy and have only played the latter



there is no reason for this, except I guess that you're an outlaw in.. some kinda [prefix]space

I remember someone complaining that it's too repetitive, but it feels like a choice to me. I do hate too much repetition in songs, generally, but I love it for what it suggests in this song.

that's easy. I'm Hank Green Won't

did you hear the one about the guy who quit playing prog rock

he's not in kansas anymore

[VCRClock]

oh yeah that's not what i meant to post here

no, i was gonna post something dumber. you're familiar I'm sure with the tale of the pied piper of hamelin. maybe you have a memory, as a kid, of asking an adult what the word 'pied' meant, as pertained to the piper. apparently it means 'multicolored' as in his clothes were

the observation is this: nobody ever uses this meaning of the word 'pied' unless they are talking about the piper of hamelin. i've heard 'piebald' for animals but that's literally not even the same word

[PhantomCatClock]

i think it means the piper just received socially approved renaissance missionary sex from her lover

this must be

well, a) that thing where in olden times dyes were harder to come by (like how the reason purple is considered a royal color was purple dye was really hard to come by and basically only kings could afford it (I don't know if this is actually true I just heard it somewhere)) so something being more than one color was noteworthy enough to have an adjective outside of fashion. "wow that dude has TWO colors on him other than brown, he's like a magpie"

but also ii) that thing where words that were once in common usage disappear except for a few famous use cases in phrases or stories or quotes where they're preserved, like the "ado" in "much ado about nothing"/"without further ado", or how when dickens wrote "humbug" it was understood that scrooge was calling christmas a fraud, but since it only survived in the popular consciousness through A Christmas Carol now nobody knows what it means unless they look it up andit just kind of vaguely connotes that somebody in the periphery of the sentence hates christmas

I waswatching q.i. clips and they said that in the lord's prayer, in the phrase "give us this day our daily bread", we actually don't know what the word we translate as "daily" actually meant because it doesn't appear anywhere else. like, period. we have no record of it ever being used in any other context, just only specifically in this one passage for describing to God the kind of bread we want every day, presumably in the septuagint or whatever texts predate it, innnnn Matthew uhhhhhh 20 or whatever idk im catholic, catholics don't have to memorize verse numbers, church is for guilt and snacks

but anyway there's a whole bunch of these, words whose precise meanings are not known because they only appear once in any surviving texts, and we just kind of have to try to triangulate on a meaning from one piece of context and how other ancient languages translated it (whomst might not necessarily have been super accurate, as, richard howard put it, "time reveals all translation to be adaptation" or as somebody on twitter put it, "if you think we understand anything about the language of ancient cultures with 100% clarity, just think about the difference in meaning between 'horseplay' and 'pony play'") and there's a specific word for these kinds of words that I don't feel like looking up right now thanks for reading

"wow that dude has TWO colors on him other than brown, he's like a magpie"
