Nature photographer Curt Fonger stumbled upon a bobcat sitting atop a 40 foot tall Saguaro cactus in the Arizona desert. The animal was apparently taking refuge from a nearby mountain lion.

Digital elbow grease saves largest actual play database

Anne Monteverdi made sure Series Seeker stuck around to keep track of all the RPG hobby's stories.

Okay but can you imagine how fucking insane the T-Dock scene is gonna be knowing Essek is also giving up the ability to save his mother. After the line "Time pries away all things." I'm about to start clawing the walls just thinking about it.

i love when female characters are allowed to go off model and have crazy exaggerated expressions

Clarification. Do the folk (and by extension god-eaters) HAVE institutions, or do they reject any such attempts to impose or offer a kind of order?

(With reference to this game here.)

The Folk are just people, and are no more or less prone to have institutions than anybody else. Whether it's appropriate for God-eaters to actually participate in those institutions, and if so, in what fashion is one of those "ask two God-eaters, get three opinions" sort of deals.

[prokopetz]

That said:

... some God-eaters are definitely more annoying about this particular topic than others.

[cryptotheism]

When I was writing the creeds, I tried to make them as portable as possible. These are philosophies that player characters who go on adventures can bring with them, so particular allegiance to a temple cult, or a military order would be rare. Also they are muppets / cartoons whose nature is inherently opposed to stratification in some way.

My other thought was that if there are God Eaters who participate in an institution, they do it as a religiously significant bit.

I'm suddenly having a horrible realization that you could play Gamzee in this game with minimal effort.

[prokopetz]

Just to be contrary I'm going to cite Problem Sleuth but not Homestuck in the game's list of inspirational media.

@ringedretrospective replied:

I am certain that you have weighed the pros and cons, but it really does feel like this should be "Universalist Theophagy" for consistency with the other creeds.

I invite you to consider why the Creed which is characterised by opposition for opposition's sake would also be the only one which breaks from an otherwise ironclad naming convention.

I am so excited about the intense, meticulously crafted, well researched fucking stupidity of this game. What if a game had real, meaningful things to say about organized religion, systems of government, economic models, and social hierarchies that you are invited to explore through the medium of Gonzo the Great dropping an anvil on the Pope's foot so that he can access the room in the Vatican where they store all magic used in transubstantiation and pour it all into one mediocre piece of dry whole wheat toast with a thin spread of grape jelly on it and eat the Catholic God in two bites before shrugging and walking out of frame without further fanfare. Or, you know, the fantasy equivalent.

Do It Scared is powerful, but personally the specific form my fear takes is that I don't want to move at all, ever, until I feel like I know everything about the project or destination, and -- surprise! -- that state of perfect knowledge and mental preparedness never actually arrives. So what I'm working on right now is Do It Stupid.

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

The EFFICIENCY of that Thimble and Julien scene. Zero to crying in ten seconds flat.

[essektheylyss]

It's especially like, the final beat of recognizing that after years of loathing each other, they suddenly are not only on the same side, but are each one of the few people they have left who are tied to their home and invested in and capable of saving their home. It was such a simple recognition and alignment, and even though the two of them haven't spoken since Thimble got in Julien's face and Julien grabbed her by the wings, just this exchange alone is all they need to get there.

[essektheylyss]

#also im just realizing that you probably meant that thimble went from zero to crying #i thought at first you meant the viewer haha bc that's exactly what i did (@rocks-in-space)

No, no, your first impression was correct. I was not expecting to cry when Julien started that conversation but that was absolutely how I finished it.
