Love To Get Tours Of Architecturally Award-winning Buildings From The People That Work There. Especially

love to get tours of architecturally award-winning buildings from the people that work there. especially libraries, for some reason. I have never seen a well-designed architectural library. highlights I have seen include:

it's mostly glass and all the panes leak (many such cases)

they forgot to account for the weight of books and now it's subsiding

it's mostly glass and therefore essentially a greenhouse. books and people studying famously love wild winter-summer temperature fluctuations

it's Round. books tend not to be

they put the radiator just under the window....which is a skylight

the only lift is for moving books, so if you can't use the stairs, you'll have to go out, use the main building lift, and come back in on another floor. doors on other floors need a special access keycard

we built this space specifically to house manuscripts but the temp/humidity control is always on the blink

the stairs/corridors are too Aesthetically Narrow and if you want to pass another person, you have to awkwardly crab shuffle past each other

there are no walls separating the library from the rest of the faculty building. no one's ever wanted a quiet study space, after all

One year I mentioned I needed a new hobby knife - you know, the cheap little scalpel things you use to get your space marines off the sprue. Over the next three years my gran got me increasingly elaborate sets. At one point I counted and found I had 104 blades, plus a half dozen handles they could fit on.

Yup, that's me, still named after a warhammer guy who shot down a Falcon gravtank in 1997.

feeling a profound urge to wander around those forests they had in old video games where they're made up exclusively of screen after screen of picturesque pixel art glades as far as the eye can see and maybe one of them has like a forlorn well or a pedestal with a gem on it or something but essentially they're all the same

I'm Not A Great Painter, But I Am Easily Pleased When A Vague Smear Of Paint Starts To Look Like A Mountainside

I'm not a great painter, but I am easily pleased when a vague smear of paint starts to look like a mountainside below birds and flying golden serpents.

No, my highschool had a haunted tower. I mean, it was a converted Georgian mansion built by a robber-baron to look like a castle, which I'm sure is a very common source of school buildings in the UK.

I could never be a protagonist because I'd just never move the plot along. "You have free reign of this castle, but don't go into this one area" Okie dokie. I mind my own business and hang out in the library. Queen of staying in my own lane. I'll never discover your magic curse.

You should play Tactical Breach Wizards, the only game that feels the need to, in a dream sequence, reassure one of the characters that play testers like them as people, even after fixing the balance issues.

Look, Rion. The only way I know to knock Liv off this incredibly tall building is to chain-lightning through her and her intended swap target. I tried to arrange it so she was the only one to get knocked off, but that just wasn't an option. Yours was a necessary sacrifice, and it honestly wasn't even that sacrifice-ey. Banks shot you in the head and brought you back to life. She even undid all the damage your lungs took from brellium calcite, so honestly you're doing better than if I didn't knock you off the roof!

Huh? Why did I need to knock Liv off the roof? Don't ask stupid questions!

I remain a massive fan of the incredibly gutsy decision to have the big finale fight of season 1 not be a big flashy aerial sword-duel, but an old man with a box-cutter vs a kid who had to relearn how to walk a few months ago. (that said Asuna-Yuuki is a masterclass in combat-characterisation. Not just Asuna and Yuuki's personalities shining though how they fight, but the reactions of their friends being reminded that Asuna is That Damn Good, and Kirito's smile because... Kirito always knew she could fight like that)

do you guys think there’s a fight that’s universally loved and hyped up by the sao fandom

recently we were out on a hilltop taking photos of the comet and suddenly some car's headlights blind us from across the bay. literally four miles away.
