Person’s entire persona is disclaimers(wuss), boilerplate(not an essay), and telegraphing pun intentions(oldfag).

STFU and just say what you want directly.

  • ‘videogame ice effect’

    I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It’s so cool.

    Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

    Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).

    Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise
















  • I actually really like that the washing machine and my makita charger do those noises just because I’ve never heard appliances do musical stuff before and think it’s really cool. BUUUUT:

    I would totally hate it if anything.* aaaanything at allllll* in the kitchen were to make music the same way. Microwaves – and the oven – and the pressure cooker – are already extremely loud and obnoxious as they are.

    The washing machine and battery charger are somehow fine just because I don’t associate them with the kitchen appliances I grew up being screamed-at by. The whole ‘conditioned to be annoyed by X but when Y does it it’s fine’ thing
