Just bought a box at my friends baby shower, and I'm drinking everclear+orange slushy while I look to see if my health insurance has been un-cancelled¹

Im 35.

Love this for us.

"You still prided yourself on three things:

Firstly, bloody-minded composure, Secondly, a inhumane intellect for necromancy, Thirdly, being very difficult to kill

You were so immune to murder that you had not even been able to inflict the act on yourself"

I cry for both these children of the deaths head and how relatable that last line is.

Happy Pride Month to my pansexual babygirl Karlach! She's got a heart full of love for everyone.

There’s certain hobbies and interests that aren’t inherently conservative or regressive but do attract a lot of people who are those things or worse and when you’re a progressive person involved in those hobbies hearing that someone else is interested in your hobby usually has to involve some “But are you normal about it?” conversations before you get too excited

Someone: I think the Vikings are really cool. I like Viking metal and stuff like that.

Me: *threateningly holds up plastic fork* Answer me quickly. Do you have normal opinions about immigrants?

Being a Punisher fan literally involves making sure people are very cool before even sharing that.

The number of pigs and frothing bigots that fundamentally do not understand the character and are only interested in murder porn is staggering and it makes me feel icky even telling people :⁠‑⁠X

Oh boy have I pissed off the transphobes with this one.

Wait

Does Lancelot exist in the Dragon Age Universe? Because if not, Ser Pounce-A-Lot isn’t a pun name to Anders.

He just looked at that cat and thought

“Man he sure do pounce a lot”

And decided not only was that a sensible cat name, but that cat is clearly a Sir.

Yours is now the only opinion I care about

One of my partners hit me with a 30 megaton observation in regards to Sam Campbell's time on taskmaster, and why despite being a enjoyer of both dry humor and absurdism they hit me with this but of observational violence:

"I think the reason you find Sam Campbell so stressful is that he's so intentionally bizarre and off the wall that it triggers your anxieties about already not being especially well attached to reality"

Like what the fuck do you say to that?

They're not wrong, but I have to talk to my therapist about this shit.

My boyfriend is playing Warhammer against his brother, and his little brother habitually gives his opponents terrible advice that would ensure his own victory. And he gives it in the exact tone of "put baby in pelican mouth", but I can't remark on that without sounding insane because neither of them is familiar with tumblr memes.

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.

Character Creation in HELLSITE

HELLSITE is a TTRPG all about, and using, feed-based social media like Twitter, Tumblr, etc. The creation of a social media account is a required bit of utility of the game, but it also features here as a discovery-based form of character creation.

First up is making the profile and bio, which is done by making a real-world Twitter/Tumblr/etc account, acting as both a live character sheet and means of summing your in-game Avatars.

As any of us who have spent enough time on a platform now, what is included and not included (ignoring even the content itself) tells you a lot about that person. The sheer amount that your character includes is a pretty handy indicator of their age- or at least of the age and era they came to discover the internet. Whether or not your character includes pronouns could say something about their political leanings or just the specific subcultures they exist in. Adding a DNI list tells you about their icks and dislikes, but also about their history as a citizen of the internet.

Next comes choosing who your character follows on their account. Quick caveat to the above teaser from the- it very much assumes that the player is using Twitter in their game. Trying to find political figures or even news outlets to follow on Tumblr is nearly impossible, and when it comes to celebrities, you have a whole 2 options. I'll be reworking this page with some more platform-specific recommendations in the final game (: But with that out of the way, the player is prompted to consider more specifically what their character is interested in, who they trust, what they want to be updated on, and what they find funny. These aren't set-in-stone decisions, rather, they're meant to be a series of breadcrumbs the player can use to learn more and more about their character.

My goal with this system is that players can "find" their character and jump into roleplay more easily by asking them a series of questions they ask themselves everyday: What do I want people to know about me when they visit my page? Did this post pique my interest? Do I want to know more about this person's life? Will following this account result in more posts that I like than posts that I don't care about? Does this account share my worldview? Do I care? I'll get into the utility of how the posts on your feed affect the game and the powers granted by your Avatar in another post, but for now, I hope this shed some light on a part of this game I'm really excited to create further! If any of this interested you, HELLSITE is currently live on Kickstarter!
