It’s beautiful seeing culture celebrated and not suppressed as Jason Momoa, family and friends perform the haka on the Aquaman red carpet.

Alternative to the tired old wizard-with-a-sugar-daddy interpretation of the patron/warlock relationship in Dungeons & Dragons:

Clueless boss and long-suffering employee, whose powers are basically the magical equivalent of pilfering office supplies for personal use

Scheming master and duplicitous apprentice who are totally open about their loathing for each other and are keen to see who betrays whom first

Bureaucratic devil and soul-peddling diabolist with a contract a mile long, each honestly believing they’re getting the better of the other

Glowering quartermaster and loose-cannon operative, whose record for getting results just barely justifies the expense of employing them

Indifferent parent who pays their estranged offspring’s allowance like clockwork but otherwise prefers to deal with them as little as possible

Vast, slumbering god-monster and amoral parabiologist who knows which spots to poke with a stick to provoke particular autonomic responses

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

Elf androgyny and dwarf androgyny and orc androgyny are like three very different forms of androgyny and defiance of the binary and they’re all so good

[theyoungestwhateleydaughter-dea]

Elf: everyone’s pretty, but has no ass.

Dwarf: everyone’s hairy, but has no ass.

Orc: everyone’s SHREDDED and can crack walnuts between their cheeks.

Obsidian's The Outer Worlds blends Firefly and Fallout into a bold, open-ended sci-fi RPG

The creators of the original Fallout have spent two years on a new first-person RPG, and it looks great.

From the article:

Your protagonist isn’t voiced

There’s a special class of “science weapons” that will have special, ridiculous effects, like a shrink ray

There’s a full character creator even though it’s first-person only (you’ll see your character in the inventory, and if you leave the game idling long)

Your companions don’t have separate inventories. Taking companions with you just gives you more inventory space to work with yourself

If companions really dislike the decisions you make, they’ll leave and go back to the ship. You can persuade them to see things your way

No romancing companions. They considered it, but decided against it.

Companions each have a special attack (one named Felix does a double drop kick) but you can also equip them with whatever weapons you want

Hacking and lockpicking don’t have minigames, and are simply based on your attributes

There are six skills (strength, intelligence etc.) and for every 20 points you put into one (up until 100) you’ll gain a new perk

As in the creators’ past games, you can play as a “dumb” character with stupid dialogue options. Your companions react appropriately.

They’re still not sure if it will be possible to play through the game completely pacifist (but you’ll almost definitely have to at least kill some robots)

Robots aren’t sentient, but your ship’s AI seems to have a strange degree of personality

Doesn’t sound demonic, which is a nice change of pace from the typical 8x slowed down songs.

I just discovered tweetdeck.twitter.com and holy shit this is literally what I was gonna try to build for tumblr before the announcement happened

[not-a-penguin-official-deactiva]

Quick tip for those who post art in Twitter:

You can force Twitter to post the “raw” quality of your pics by adding one (1) pixel of transparency in the image.

Twitter uses some algorithm to compress images into .jpg, but it cannot do that if there’s transparency involved in the image, forcing it to be .png in its full quality. Literally one singular pixel ANYWHERE counts for this, it can be on a corner if you don’t want it to be bothersome.

Figured some folks might be interested in this, considering Tumblr no longer supports the _raw trick.

[not-a-penguin-official-deactiva]

For the sake of example instead of hearsay, I’ve posted a comparison in my Twitter here, but will also explain here. All images are 2000x2000px versions of my logo you can see on the top left of this post:

Here’s the original image without a background, in its original form. Notice the .png on the filename title.

Here’s the image with a white background. You can see Twitter turned it into a .jpg and youcan see compression artifacts surrounding it.

Here’s the image with a white background, but one pixel edged off. Notice the .png back on the filename and the retaining of quality from the first picture compared to the compression from the second.

All it took was a simple thing:

Nothing else, nothing more. It retains the original quality as you posted it, isn’t very bothersome and can be easily filled up if someone finds it.

Since Tumblr removed the _raw image trick from availability, this is a good way to share high quality, high resolution pictures again with the world.

Cheers!

Once more but with feeling of exodus

I think I might actually jump ship on the 17th. I have almost all my mutuals on other sites/apps and very little original content. I’m gonna go through and archive what I still want this weekend and make my decision then.
