It’s hardly my fault the world is full of wonderful people.

Howdy! Cowboy postin is normal and necessary, if you like what you find cool if not oh well. Also I'm normal now, instead of having a masters thesis on why Ara Haan is a bad character I've decided to instead take notes to catch all continuity errors in SAO.

Spends months on end hyping up a forthcoming Dungeons & Dragons clone I'm working on which I claim will fix all of the system's problems, then when it comes out the only substantive difference from core-book 5th Edition is that "Prone" and "Supine" are two separate conditions.

[jennamoran]

"Shoving Fighter" becomes the dominant combat archetype after careful review of the text reveals no method for ending the supine condition.

(This later turns out to fix all of the problems with Dungeons & Dragons.)

[21st-century-minutiae]

"Prone" refers to the position of lying face down. "Supine" refers to lying face up. "Prone," being a position where it is difficult to move or see, had a connotation of physical vulnerability.

In the early twenty-first century, "prone" has come to (somewhat incorrectly) mean "on the ground and vulnerable" especially due to involuntary causes, such as physical force. In the table top role playing game Dungeons and Dragons, the word prone is used to refer to being knocked to the ground. "Prone" characters in the game are easier to hit with melee weapons (because they cannot easily dodge), but harder to hit with ranged weapons (because their profile is much smaller and closer to the ground). "Prone" characters need to spend time and effort getting back to their feet. Notably, the game does not distinguish between the physical prone and supine position, and simply uses the term for "knocked to the ground".

The above is a humorous and pedantic exploration of that lack of distinction.

[prokopetz]

Addendum: More broadly, the above alludes to a recurring phenomenon within the tabletop roleplaying hobby whereby a forthcoming game would be promoted as revolutionary in its design, only to prove upon publication to be very similar to some existing game, excepting only superficial changes, typically owing to the author's limited experience with the medium leading them to overestimate the significance of those changes. When based on some version of Dungeons & Dragons, such games were colloquially known within the hobby as "fantasy heartbreakers".

The proposed scenario of a game which is identical to Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition apart from changing the definition of the "prone" condition would have been recognisable to readers sufficiently versed in early 21st Century tabletop roleplaying culture as a humorously exaggerated example of the fantasy heartbreaker phenomenon.

One unexpected thing about being on T is the way that cis men are also jealous of you

[hjartasalt]

Trans men being jealous? Especially those who aren't on T yet? Yeah fair, expected that one

I did not expect cis men to start being like "how are you 4 months on T and already have a deeper voice and more facial hair than me" lmao

[hjartasalt]

But also it really just goes to show you that testosterone affects everyone differently and that 100% includes cis men as well. Chances are that if you're dysphoric about your voice, height, etc. there is also a cis man out there rn insecure about the exact same things

[hjartasalt]

Make your own 💀

[hjartasalt]

Cisgender men are extremely jealous of the way I travel through Boston
