What with Chapter 5's revelations about the "game mechanics" of the Dark Worlds being artificial from an in-universe perspective, I think it's worth reexamining the fact that, as far as we know, with the exception of self-inflicted harm the only characters whose actions in the Dark Worlds are demonstrably able to break kayfabe and harm the underlying people or objects directly are the Roaring Knight and Noelle.

sewing affirmations

it’s okay that i don’t have a sewing machine

i love backstitching by hand for hours

this has got to be great for my back

millions of my ancestors did this and they lived almost as long as i want to

i’m making so many beautiful things for my house—oh goddamn it

one thing they don't warn you about when it comes to being in a talkative mood is that if other people aren't in such a talkative mood it fucks with your vibe heavily

I used to make fun of people who insisted on using super toxic heavy metal paints when we can synthesize basically any color until I got into miniatures painting and like... I still try to have the ones I'm touching constantly be nontoxic, my azo yellow ink is fine, turbodork yuzu works for some of the more magical elements, but the cadmium yellow is just better. It is more yellow. Everyone I've shown the bottles to side by side agrees - it is the yellower yellow. My big models deserve it.

I did make sure to swap my paint water cup for one I won't accidentally drink out of though (mason jar with a pony in it). Probably shouldn't be eating or drinking out of anything that's touched my old workspace tbh.

Tabletop gaming has always had a special relationship with toxic materials even compared to most other arts. At least we (usually) only need to be concerned about the paints these days – it's really only within the last twenty years that it's become safe to assume metal miniatures don't have lead in them!

(We're not just talking trace amounts, either. Ral Partha was selling metal minis whose alloys consisted of up to 80% lead as late as 1993.)

Unironically I think this meme is really good for explaining why maths formalisms and notation are so valuable, even when they seem cumbersome/convoluted. It's an incredibly precise way to describe the interaction of a lot of related-but-meaningfully-distinct concepts, and this is a great showcase of that, thank you Lynn Chordbug you're the best.

I sometimes wonder to what extent David Willis is personally responsible for the Transformers wiki being Like That.

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

[transhuman-priestess]

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

[transhuman-priestess]

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

[folaireamh]

our neighbors are such assholes. If you get something delivered to you that you didn't order you can just not take it. You can tell them they went to the wrong address. FUCKERS!!!
