Just a pool, disguised as a pond, with a trampoline instead of a diving board
Holy fuck! I wrote a paper about these kinds of pools several years ago for a class when they were just prototypes. These pools have a natural filtration system that run based on the plants that are in the pool that give the water nutrients that allow it to not only be crystal clear, but you are also able to drink the water because it becomes so clean. And the best part is that once the initial filtration system is installed and calibrated, it maintains itself and eliminates the need for chlorine or constant maintenance like salt water pools.
I want one
but can you pee in it

How to pick the perfect video game
I fully support this flow chart. Impressive.
“Do you like being called a n00b by 8 years olds? Yes? Halo 3.”
Super Monkey Ball is plenty hard! Arthropod. I dare you to try that level and say that SMB isn’t fucking hard. Or Spasmodic. Or for gods sake any Master level ever.
But considering I got SMB for my perfect game, I’d say the list is accurate!

Brilliant Damage
Parchment often contains some kind of imperfection. Holes, for example, are a common occurrence on the page of a medieval book. The parchment maker’s knife, scraping off hair and fleshy bits from the animal skin, was sometimes handled with too much pressure, producing holes such as the one seen in this brilliant image. That a drawing of a dragon should perfectly align with such a hole is a coincidence. What I like about it is the view it opens to the next leaf. I can just imagine how the heartbeat of the medieval reader sped up when he saw that a dragon was about to be introduced into the story. Parchment damage as a sneak preview: excitement coming to a chapter near you.

It’s weird because if you watch it the whole way though it doesn’t feel like their features change much at all. But if you just look at the difference between One and Eleven, it’s a completely “jesus fuck” moment.
