She/Them Right now this is mostly a place for me to dump ttrpg campaign art and memes, but I'm hoping to do more with it soon

Looking forward to a 'The Cylinder Must Remain Unharmed' movie thats shot and framed like 127 hours.

Paizo are good people. I’ll have to give them more of my money.

Their setting is inclusive and they have canon lgbtqia+ characters and have resisted all pushback. I know they aren’t perfect but they’re better than most.

I've seen a lot of talk about media literacy lately, and while I agree there are some real issues with modern fandom spaces not being able to see past the most surface level interpretation of a text, SOME of these arguments are starting to seem a bit, Idunno, ableist? Like, I dont wanna jump the gun but lots of folks on the spectrum struggle with the implications and tone of other peoples's statements and some of the 'wow, can't believe grown adults couldn't tell this guy was lying, wish my fandom had media literacy' posts feel like a socially acceptable way of mocking people with autism or other neurodivergent folks. Dunno, maybe I'm overreacting, but its okay to share spaces with people who consume media you love differently, and maybe a line or two on occasion helping people who might have missed some subtext isnt 'the death of art' that you think it is. I'm all here for creative freedom, but when I see people saying that a story is ruined by explaining something that 'they' already understood, I have a hard time not hearing a little bit of ableism towards folks who might have needed that help.

I'm gonna have to take this back, I just watched the Digital Circus Finale and read some comments about it on reddit. Turns out some people are just dumb or willfully ignorant.

What I admit I do like about early Pokemon is how rarely they went for the easy ideas first. They had to create 150 monster designs in one game, and I’m sure it could’ve been so easy to phone it in with some generic RPG-ass monster designs, but it took six generations for them to make a Pokemon based on a tree, seven generations for them to make a wolf. The grass type representation in gen 1 is palms, rafflesia flowers, pitcher plants, and cordyceps fungus

The first games introduced the concept of reanimating fossils, and the first fossils you can resurrect are horseshoe crabs, ammonites, and one (1) pteranodon. It took four generations before you could reanimate a dinosaur, and it took two more generations before you could reanimate a Tyrannosaurus rex

Gen 1 did have some generic RPG-ass monster designs (slime, snake, bat, Big Guy Made Of Rocks) but a lot of it is weird biology, visual puns, and references to Japanese folklore and pop culture. It was so much more important to make a Pokemon referencing the phrase “a duck comes bearing green onions” than a wolf, and I think that’s a load bearing pillar to the series’ ethos towards monster design

Real annoyed at LGBT+ folks acting like HRT is something easy and trivial, as someone with a lotta health issues Ive been trying to get permission to take it for the last two years and its been miserable. Was just told I might never be able to take it.

I've been made aware that it is Tired Beast Thursday, so here is Sweet Pea the gnoll, my tired beast. She's just fine, she's sleeping on the floor because the bed is too soft-- and her goblin friend Nettle isn't complaining, because now she gets the whole big person sized bed to herself.

Gotta give em points for finding the exact language that will make biggots look the silliest for trying to object too.

"Miitopia has dating preferences and style choices!" Doesn't hit the brainwashing as easily as 'Miitopia is gay and trans'.

Either way I love that they stuck with their promise to keep the game inclusive!

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn
