More often than not, reading answers to tech problems online feels like reading someone asking for help to fix a sink and people telling them to tear the house down and start a new one from scratch :/ #tech #problems #online #metaphor

More memories of #Kanzi

'One of Pruetz’s favorite pieces of Kanzi lore, she added, was a story about him using two of his symbols to describe a frightening beaver he discovered in his new outdoor habitat in Iowa. “He combined the symbols for ‘water’ and ‘gorilla,’ the latter referred to something scary in his world, and I always think of beavers ... as water gorillas now,” she wrote.'

"The beak descends, the air is furious with blurs, drab against the snowless city day....Allow me to sit between you and the piercing sharpened roving eye for just a little time."

Last year, we had to remove a few trees (it hurt but they were a danger to us and our neighbors). The removal wrecked the yard so they brought some more soil. And as part of turning up that soil, they must've scattered many #crocus bulbs. My yard has 50 or more clusters bursting forth.

There's a #metaphor in this somewhere.

We've always advocated for physical media; and we are growing our collection of physical video games.

Check out the selection at our pop-up store, 155 Clarendon St, Southbank. We are open Tue - Fri 10am-5pm & Sat 11am-4pm.

MAGA Mike Johnson was on FOX talking about the US economy and stuttered through the following statement:

"The adults are back in the room, and we're going to turn this economy around. We need a little runway to do it... I keep using this metaphor of an aircraft carrier, you know, it took decades to get into the mess that we're in. You don't turn an aircraft carrier on a dime, but you need miles of open ocean to do it"

Given his position in the government, I am sure he should know more about US Aircraft carriers. They can turn on a dime, and what's more, even at 30 knots they don't need miles of open ocean to turn, they are almost as nimble as a Seadoo when they want to be!

The USS Abraham Lincoln has a message for your shitty metaphor, Mike.

Words, culture, and metaphors for power

I've long suspected that the Chinese, with a millennia-long history of hydrologic civil engineering projects might have a language of power which borrows from water control structures (dams, gates, levees, bridges, etc.). Some time afterward I realised that Latin certainly does, and retains at least one descriptor in pontifex maximus, that is, "bridge builder in chief*, first applied to Rome's emperors, now its Pope. And I've very recently learnt that Vietnamese language and culture have many words with shared roots in water, including the word for "mother".

Listening to another David Runciman lecture again (climate / conspiracy), I'm realising that there's another metaphor which has been lodged in Western political discourse for the past half-century, though it had slipped my awareness and is perhaps a bit of a cheat as it comes from a proper name rather than a description. But still:

Watergate.

Eh, perhaps bank robber Sutton was in it just for the thrills, but then why didn't he spend his time knocking over hot dog shops?

Nah, for the same reason ticks don't spend their time trying to suck blood from sunflower seeds.

I'm visiting @BelladerKruemel and as usual, we try out some games. I watched Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Persona 5 Royal and Ghost of Tsushima. Comparing #Persona to #Metaphor: ReFantazio was interesting, but Persona and Ghost of Tsushima make for an interesting contrast. The UI of Persona 5R is even more intrusive than the Metaphor UI, while Ghost of Tsushima basically needs no UI at all. Also, the game looks really really promising, I can already tell how it got all the great reviews. #UI

How to improve your #JRPG experience: when a voiced line should mention the protagonist's name but it doesn't, assume that the character doesn't remember its name. Works perfectly with #metaphor #refantazio
