A fair warning to my viewers: If you try publicly defending me, you WILL be incessantly and viciously harassed by Nazi filth, useful idiots and people with severe internalized bigotry.

If you don't have the skin for that, if you're the kind of person who nukes their social media when they get harassed, then don't do it. Please prioritize your own safety over defending me.

I'm curious, in TSR what was 2V-R8's connection to the Beniko family?

Thousands of years ago, he came with the ship. The ship originally belonged to Darth Imperious before falling into Caida's hands. 2V continued to remain with the ship as it was passed down through the Beniko family, always serving as a butler.

It wasn't until about 120BBY that 2V became a more closely knit member of the family when he became Darth Mecani's lover. 2V's been something of a grandparent to later Sith in the family. Without 2V, Alie would have died on her own.

is it "abuse" if its not consistent? like if you smack your cheating husband or something with the intention of divorcing him, is that abuse or is it just revenge/assault?

Abuse is a repeated pattern of exploiting a power dynamic over someone. For something to be abuse, it has to be

More than once

Involving one person exploiting their power over another

For example: Sexual Assault is any instance of sexual contact done to you against your will. Sexual Abuse is repeated instances of it over a period of time.

Here's the important part though: Many people use abuse to mean only the second one, and many people use abuse to mean any kind of assault at all.

If you can tell this is what they're doing, don't be pedantic with them.

There's been this recurring theory that Leia embodies the Sith Code. Is there any merit to that?

I think I started that, actually.

Anyway, that is mostly a thought experiment of interpreting the Sith Code differently than people usually do, how the throughline of Passion > Strength > Power > Victory mirrors the Rebellion.

It's less about Leia and more about the Sith Code.

If anyone's comparing Leia to a Sith, it's likely because of the two of Anakin's children, she's the one who's most like him.

Why did you write Leia the way you did in TSR?

Given that Leia's largely dealing with the fact that her son is a fascist monster, and we have a Sith in a leading role, I really liked the idea of Leia being unable to square Alie's very existence with the narrative she's built up in her head that the Dark Side is responsible for Ben's downfall.

Given Leia's history with Sith, it all just worked.

Did you ever try Icewind Dale or is this through the grapevine?

I tried it. Got far into the first dungeon.

It wasn't any of the mechanics that made me give up, it was one very strange quirk: My fighters would randomly change target even when their present target was still alive. So I look at my mages for a minute and suddenly one of my fighters has rushed into the middle of a pack despite me telling her to hit the enemy in front of her.

I have very little patience for a game where your controls don't work reliably, and having my priority targets live just because my fighters decided to hit something else instead of what I told them was the point I threw it away.

Same experience with soulslikes. I often drop them when it becomes clear to me the parry system doesn't work properly.

Is there a reason nobody talks about Icewind Dale compared to Baldur's Gate?

Icewind Dale is a gameplay-focused game in an engine where most people who crash out at Story Mode insist the gameplay is terrible and the story is the only thing that matters.

Speaking as someone who likes the gameplay of Infinity Engine games, Icewind Dale feels like someone ripped out half of Baldur's Gate 2. You don't have companions, you make a completely custom party, and the story is largely an excuse plot to get you to various dungeon challenges.

No banters, no conflicts, no friendships, nothing. All of that is gone. The story doesn't have a main antagonist until the last second.

It's all very weird. It's weird that Josh Sawyer made these kind of decisions, but then again that's just kind of what Black Isle/Obsidian does if we're being honest.

If you could get past all that, what you were left with was a nerfed game. The structures used in Baldur's Gate 1&2 were altered so severely that things that were muscle memory for a lot of people (Sleep) just fell by the wayside.

So the end result was "Eh..." from a lot of people. You took Baldur's Gate 2, made it Nintendo Hard, nerfed most of the classes, and then removed the story and companions.

Icewind Dale 2 went even further by changing the ruleset to 3rd Edition, and as a result it plays even worse.

Is Niva supposed to be super powerful?

Not quite. She's as powerful as most Avatars, she just lacks the restraint.

Crit build.

do you have someone you “separate the art from the artist” as in someone who is an awesome person with not really great art?

Huh?!

You should watch Diabolik lovers, You low key seem like you’d like Cordelia

kiwifarms is under a ddos attack and the site is constantly going down. null is begging for 2k a month to keep it afloat but not many people seem to be willing to chip in. could this finally be the end of kiwifarms, or do you think this will this be over in a week?

Kiwi Farms has been especially vulnerable to DDoS ever since Keffals got Cloudflare to drop them, I'm just surprised that it's taken this long for people to realize "Hey we can just nuke this site into the ground."

Its owner, Joshua Moon, is a basement dweller. Kiwi Farms is all he has so he's going to try and keep it going as long as possible. That being said, worthless basement dwelling fascist scum don't really have disposable income.

sometimes i get a glimpse of the scale of the fucking. ISFF hateposting cottage industry and it's all deeply connected to a bunch of kiwifarmers and none of them seem to notice how deranged it is to do all of this. just post about a trans woman 24/7 set up multiple blogs to screenshot and track down everything on her. i wish you all a very happy crack your head on the pavement

pocket-deer-belly

no i don't think this random internet trans woman has ties to fucking jeffrey epstein are you all fucking shitting yourselves

it's like people nominally understand that minorities are subject to a lot of additional scrutiny, and like, if you pressed them on it they'd understand it's a lot harder to grow into a healthy well-rounded person under all that extra scrutiny, but if you point out that they're part of that process they're like. well she's a pedophile groomer menace to society [citation needed] we can't just like, NOT stalk her continuously

maidslime

remember how for a month or two someone kept saying isff ran an entire child trafficking business and was trafficking children to a bunch of other tumblr trans women and screamed about having proof, but whenever anyone pressed for proof, they'd never post any? And, tons of people just. Believed it? That a super poor trans woman somehow ran this Epstein level trafficking campaign to other trans women that lived in completely different continents?? it was so. obviously bullshit and transmisogyny. like, it's so obviously fake and transmisogynistic but all these "we're all faggots in the eyes of the state" people refused to see it that way.

you gotta remember, this all started cuz isff said misandry didn't exist. they called her a pedophile for months just because she said transandrophobia doesn't exist. all these posts people post as reasons to hate her were from december, she had been being called a pedophile throughout the summer and fall! she only made those posts in december, the transmisogynists already calling her a pedophile!

if you are "anti-isff" you are a transmisogynist. You hate trans women.

As the girl living it, yeah it is, a lot,

To be clear none of this is hyperbole

This is like Pizzagate and QAnon has a fucking baby. It's always the most extreme, hysterical accusations imaginable and the source is always "some guy said so!"

Nazi shit. Straight up Nazi shit.

I’ve been recently questioning my gender. I want to identify as trans masc but I feel like that’s not possible due to the fact that I still hold myself to female beauty standards and get hurt by misogyny (like if someone tells me I need to do XYZ because I’m a woman I’m like, why are treating me this way cause I’m a woman). Is it possible to identify as a man even with these feelings?

Saw a comment saying "the Genshin fandom's gotten its own Lily Orchard" in response to a video made by... a cis woman suffering from severe internalized misogyny and slutshaming the game's female characters. Tired of this clickbait. When will my favorite fandom get its own CD-Call, someone who has consistently entertaining content, genuinely insightful criticism, and 99.99999% correct takes 24/7

in response to a video made by... a cis woman suffering from severe internalized misogyny and slutshaming the game's female characters.

Whoa there, son! That's a really loaded statement when we're talking about a game as virulently misogynistic as Genshin Impact.

Are you sure that's not what she was talking about?

Hello CD^^

I wonder would you ever put the Decay video on your channel, or is it only Patreon exclusive?

That video is incomplete.

You can't hide the truth forever CD! I know you're actually two transwomen in a trench coat!

Oooh, way to out yourself my dude

cd-call-official-blog

CD! How do you respond to the allegations that you're a cool gal who makes cool stuff?

When will people STOP fucking LYING about me?!

spineapplestudios

Hey baby girl, what about those several Other allegations towards you

cd-call-official-blog

They've been refuted a dozen times. It's not my fault if you're too much of a bitter asshole to accept that 😁
