Da Aliens Attack

The year is 20XX, on a small backwater moonbase, there are two guards on the same shift protecting a municipal backup generator, and spend most of their time being bored out of their minds.

They are both supposed to be on shift, and then da aliens attack!

Da aliens are dingbats and there's like four of them, wearing no significant armor, their stupid plasma bolts are slow as shit, and they have a limited understanding of sightlines, cover, or any other infantry tactics. Each could easily be killed by a single burst from the standard issue GX-35 assault carbines the guards carry, and would just sort of stand there while one was fired at them. Even just one lone human soldier stands a decent chance at repelling this attack.

When da aliens attack, Guard 1 is still on his lunch break even though he is supposed to have 30 minutes for lunch and it's been 55 minutes.

When da aliens attack, Guard 2 is standing watch at the front door with his fully loaded GX-35 assault carbine, but throws it down and flees as soon as he sees da aliens.

Da aliens get in and asemoclicate the backup generator's power supply.

Who bears the most responsibility?

Guard 1

Guard 2

Isn’t it kind of fun how when your life sucks you just can’t talk about it with anyone

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

I’m serious though. When your life reaches a degree of suckage, you find yourself having to look elsewhere for anything at all to talk about. The things going on in your life are trauma dumping. Your past is probably also trauma dumping. So you have to get really weird about specific things or hope that others want to talk to you, because very quickly people are going to develop an aversion to you and the way your life sucks. Unless you just don’t talk about it

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

It’s socially isolating, which is dangerous—when you’re in this sort of situation, community is the difference between life and death, housing and homelessness.

I think the collective prioritization of comfort first is hurting people in a real and material sense

i really need "villagers from minecraft are antisemetic caricatures" to become a popular enough sentiment for them to finally change their designs somehow

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

[mortalityplays]

whether they're Good Media™ or whatever aside, I think mainstream liveplay ttrpg shows have been a fucking disaster for the hobby. it's hard to imagine anything that could have fucked the expectations:results differential for people more than having celebrities do college improv with dice (and an entire media production team behind them) and telling a generation of new players that's what tabletop gaming is like

[mortalityplays]

liveplay ttrpg shows are not 'professional gaming', that's the whole problem I'm talking about. they're entertainment products which make format, content and form choices that would be nonsensical or obstructive at an ordinary table. it's not just "oh if only 'hobbyist' gaming groups (🤮) could pay for all that kit and lighting and professional writers and voice actors".

liveplay production involves story meetings aimed at making the narrative maximally entertaining to a watching audience (not the players, who are also professionals who are there to entertain that audience!). It involves editing (trimming out downtime, uninteresting mistakes, technical issues, moments where the vibe is wrong or there's friction in the room). it involves a room full of production crew watching every move the GM and players make, sensitive to wastage of their time and effort if things don't go to plan. and not for nothing, it involves an entire team of people who need to keep game publishers happy by playing and displaying their products correctly and certainly never criticising them or openly adapting around their shortcomings for the sake of the group's enjoyment.

I've played at tables where we've been lucky enough to have fun props and miniatures and printed maps and sound systems and even a bit of lighting, and where everyone in the group was a seasoned player with writing and performance backgrounds, and the experience was still full of normal natural constructive frictions that are largely if not completely absent from entertainment liveplay shows. player disagreement is normal. stopping mid flow to argue about a rule and look it up and help each other with system technicalities is normal. the music just not working today is normal. the party choosing a direction the GM didn't prepare for and having to adjust their in-character choices a little and tolerate some hastily cobbled together fluff to meet them halfway is so normal it's a running joke. someone finding a scene a little too much and asking for a break or redirection is normal. someone saying something a little ill judged in the moment and having to walk it back with as much grace as possible is normal. storylines not going to plan and petering out without major dramatic resolution, or npcs being ignored and cast off with a shrug is normal. all this shit and more is normal because a normal table is structured around the organic decision-making of a bunch of players who are primarily in it for their own fun and sense of transport, not for an invisible imaginary fandom slash consumer market. which are all the things that make ttrpg play inherently a pretty bad vehicle for storytelling, incidentally!

someone else in the tags expressed their frustration at these shows 'professionalising' the hobby, and while I do recognise and sympathise with the feeling that these shows normalise a level of polish and commercial buy-in that's destructive to the diy culture of tabletop gaming, I still have to push back on the idea that these shows are representative of 'professionalised gaming'. they're not. they're sports anime.

a lot of you have mistaken unbridled and honestly vile serophobia for safe sex advocacy lol

[sapphling]

stop calling people "clean" or "dirty," stop calling people stupid for having had unsafe sex or otherwise contracted an STI, stop fearmongering and playing up your disgust for a type of illness that the majority of people will contract at some point in their life, stop acting like regular testing isn't something that many many responsible people engage in, stop treating STIs as a moral taint and not a class of overwhelmingly curable (and in other cases manageable with treatment) infections, it is beyond obvious that this is less about genuine care for others and more about keeping alive the same smug sense of self-satisfaction that's been carrying you since middle school health class

[sapphling]

i genuinely worry seeing how some of you talk about protection (which, to be clear, is great!) as the sole ward against a universally life ruining illness. if you're sexually active then it's more likely than not that at some point in your adulthood you or one of your partners will get a positive on a panel, when this happens the most likely outcome is that recent partners get phone calls and then everyone at significant risk goes into a clinic and gets a shot in the arm that kind of stings and then you don't have unprotected sex for like a week. ymmv depending on the infection and your relationship style and status. protection is cheap and a great option to reduce worry in your life but you are doing nothing to advocate its use by talking about STIs in the same fire-and-brimstone way your that your abstinence-only gym/sex ed teacher did
