for the non-Americans who are very confused right now:

Everyone hates The Chiefs this year because it's quarterback Patrick Mahomes is low-key MAGA and the orange pestilence is in attendance in the game. And the racist ass "chop" their fans do. and that Traves Kelce said it would be "an honor" to host the orange pestilence at the game.

and now they're fucking losing and Taylor is going to DUMP him and join Kendrick in writing an absolutely devastating breakup anthem.

[omgthatdress]

and Kendrick Lamar just called Drake a pedophile at the fucking superbowl

[legacysam]

the eagles also refused to visit the white house last time they won the superbowl in 2018. when asked how he felt about trump coming to this game, eagles qb jalen hurts said "he's welcome to do whatever he wants." philly fucking hates trump and they are kicking kc's entire ass right now.

The pestilence vs the REAL ORANGE PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

I feel like normies think of tumblr as the fanart and aesthetic and gifset website but real tumblrinas know that our most culturally significant output and our lifeblood is the humble text post

Grimwild seems interesting. It is clearly trying to do D&D style fantasy and is very much in conversation with D&D, and what it seems to be saying is "modern D&D has too many rules that get in the way of the types of stories we want to tell while lacking in rules that promote the sorts of stories we want: this is a game to address that." And honestly while I am a fan of the types of stories that D&D's rules produce natively, Grimwild does occupy an important niche.

It seems in many ways like a successor to Dungeon World but built from first principles, not as just a D&D-like running on PbtA hardware, as well as borrowing freely from other games, including Blades in the Dark, Fate, and others.

Also the designer has apparently written an article about why Perception checks are unnecessary which is Extremely Cool

[thydungeongal]

This is one of the many cases where I'm actually glad that I looked past the surface and gave the game a chance: when I first looked at Grimwild I dismissed it as a heartbreaker, clearly derivative of D&D, and not having anything to add to the conversation. But based on a brief look, while it is probably not the game for me, it is a game that absolutely recognizes what many people want out of D&D and how D&D fails to deliver on that. That in and of itself makes it a valuable addition to the conversation.

I mentioned this in my own recent post, but Grimwild absolutely set my brain on fire at the tail end of December, and I really wasn't expecting it to, but being increasingly distant from d20 games and more into the post-FitD narrative games has left me without a game that could satisfy my desire for playing out a "we're a party of a dwarf ranger, elf warlock, and tiefling rogue, here to stop the demon invasion and delve into giant ruins" kind of story (which at this point really is basically its own subgenre with its own conventions that isn't just vague emulation of Lord of the Rings or Conan or what have you) that aligns with what I love about the games I've been playing and running for the past 3-5 years, but Grimwild really bridges that gap in a way that hasn't felt this resonant since like... Dungeon World or 13th Age.

The principal difficulty of having a Pokémon pick up your groceries for you isn’t getting it to understand the concept of a grocery list, but getting it to understand the concept of capitalism.

One might assume that Meowth is the exception, given that Meowth is literally the capitalism Pokémon; the trouble here is that, while Meowth does understand capitalism, Meowth also understands shoplifting.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

So I should send Meowth then

I was kind of expecting this before shallan met her mother

[brothermouse-skeleton]

When Shallan and Adolin finally get to talk again:

Shallan: *don't joke about his leg don't joke about his leg don't joke about his leg*

Adolin: Oh Shallan, I don't feel so good, it's like I have...one foot in the grave 😃!

Shallan: YOU BASTARD! I WANTED TO MAKE THAT JOKE!

Truly amazing how Kaladin MostElegibleBachelor Stormblessed fumbled SO many baddies in the span of like 3 years (Tarah, Moash, Shallan, Adolin, Lyn) but Szeth McSerial Killer managed to lock down the first elegible woman he met after his Main Quest was over

No arm, no powers, 195 felonies on his record, BALD, but he still got his lady 🫡🫡🫡🫡 Truly a Chad.

people online will just say "I don't trust the Chinese" as if that's normal and not the sort of thing a cartoon racist would say out loud

[theskytraveler]

Obsessed with the mental image of Vasher having war flashbacks of all the situations™️ he's ever faced in his life and going "no Adolin we absolutely need to account for a scenario in which you're fighting on a literal tightrope wearing nothing but sweatpants, brids flying all around you, and 15 enemies charging at you"

[natequarter]

every single shallan chapter in the way of kings is like. things are escalating. and they will never stop escalating, what do you mean jasnah killed four people in front of her.

“So let me get this straight. We’re here to rescue a princess.”

“That’s right.”

“At the request of a princess.”

“Right again.”

“And you, who will be leading the expedition, are also a princess.”

“You’re very perceptive.”

“How big is your royal family, again?“

“We don’t have one.”

“But–“

“We overthrew our monarchy centuries ago, but we kept most of the titles around. The rank of ‘princess’ is held by the directors in charge of various civil service branches.“

“Huh. And the princess we’re rescuing today is in charge of…?”

“Public sanitation.”

“The Lord of Death’s Dominion kidnapped your public sanitation director?”

“We think he’s a little confused.”

I laughed too hard not to reblog this.

[teaboot]

I mean. If your goal is to cause maximum death, letting trash, sewage, tainted water, and biohazardous waste pile up in a populated area with zero oversight is a pretty efficient way to go about it

[prokopetz]

See, the idea that taking out the appointed head of the government department in charge of public sanitation oversight would cause the day-to-day business of public sanitation to immediately cease is exactly the sort of confusion we’re talking about here.

Kaladin, to Lirin: so I asked about the - yes, I'm alive, stop screaming - so I asked about the whole wisdom of the heralds thing and get this, Palah says there are these tiny invisible creatures - no they're not rotspren, they're way smaller than rotspren, but they are what attracts rotspren. I know right? Mindblowing
