Please let Mars crash into the Earth. Really enjoyed Majora's Mask, looking for more immersion.

That is literally the central plot of Gemini Home Entertainment.

The Iris. It is with us now. Laughing at us.

audibly blinking

Huh?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I imagine if an eye the size of a mountain blinked there'd be some sound

Telescopes don't allow you to hear sound from space though...

I wondered if they meant that you couldn't help but imagine the sound when seeing it - I don't know if there's a word for that (or where to ask on Lemmy).
