This game is incredible. We had a level in Act II where our protagonists go to the Plains, and meet the native people from there, and the whole level is designed with an accurate biome, the different tribes that live there, their houses, their language, despite the limitations in design, all in all pretty well researched.

Barely two levels later, as we go even further west to the Rocky Mountains, the RUSSIANS are trying to invade the Americas through there.

This game did the native americans better research than the Europeans. Unexpected W.

This whole tiktok ban deal is indeed terrifying, but the takes I'm seeing man...

You can be against the ban and still not try to paint tiktok as something wonderful and helpful that the government is trying to stop because it "stops their propaganda" or whatever. The influence and popularity of that app is enshittifying every other platform because they're trying to emulate it. The prevalence of short form content is leading to rather obvious tendencies like the shortening of attention spans. Misinformation runs rampant in short video platforms and a vast majority of the audience doesn't care enough to check facts and sources. And since it's the attention economy, what rises to the top is complete garbage with shock value.

Not gonna stand here and deny there aren't good people and good things happening there but for fucks sake do not whitewash that hellhole.

Thinking back to a funny interaction I had working at Dollar Tree in Rapid City. They would let us play our music on a speaker. This Mexican guy walks up "You're the one who always plays the spanish canciones, right?" (His words not mine)

"Yes, but I don't speak it well" (Thinking he was gonna try to pull out his fluent motherland spanish)

"It's ok, I just need to know, are any of your canciones Christian?"

"No, no christian. Argentinian"(I think Fito Páez was playing at the time)

"Ah" he says, then walks off.

....I still don't know what that interaction was about lol

and looking back, my response was just funny. Like "No sir, no Christian songs, only sinful Argentinian ones😔"

The geography nerd council must convene

I keep forgetting that my knowledge of where other countries are on a map isn't the norm in the US lol

I mentioned to someone once about my Mexican-American brother's question of "Colombia borders Mexico, right?" But I just remembered another story

(Me talking to my nephew about Bob Marley: One Love)

Him: Well anyway, I liked the movie, but I just don't get why they had them speak Afrikaans throughout the movie

Me:...They don't speak Afrikaans in Jamaica

Him: Really?...No, there has to be some speakers over there

Me: Maybe, but it's primarily spoken in South Africa

Him: No, there has to be more.

Me: Well there are some speakers in Namibia, but only really in Africa, not Jamaica.

Him:....Jamaica is in Africa, stupid🙄

About the Witness Universe:

This idea originally surfaced after I dreamed about an old X-Men: Evolution OC from 2017. The first words of this universe were typed out to a good friend on Discord on July 11th, 2023.

At first, I thought I could contain this much scope into an AO3 novel. It was to be about an original original earth, inspired by Marvel: Ruins, Wolverine & the X-Men, Agents of Shield, ZOO, and The Book of Eli. I’m aware my inspirations barely make sense, but a publisher will never see this and neither will Marvel.

Haha—unless?

Anyway: please enjoy the lore to come, as I’ll be posting artworks, character profiles, short stories, and much more.

To find more on this universe, ask questions, or even make some fanart with my permission: use the #xmenwitness tag.
