Being a notorious robotlover in the current state of "AI" is the worst. I love robots discovering how they process their feelings in fiction, but when a chatbot pretends it knows how to love it feels like an insult to the craft

What a relief no one else wakes up during that one Durge cutscene, huh?

[drmace]

She finally got her dragon! I love the idea that somewhere along the journey (or maybe after it) Lae'zel found a little dragon. Not the majestic red one she dreamed of at the start, but a small one - yet still hers C:

Pebble and sea glass paintings!

Sometimes I see art and think to myself "You know, that was an excellent use of that person's time." and nod sagely.

New BG3 mini comic! (keep reading below)

Mini comic to fill in that scene after the end fight, iyky

I wanted to add a bit at the end with the other companions but ran out of steam, oh well

[thebartlets]

okay I'm curious....what is your criteria for a kudos-worthy fic? (pick whatever is closest for you)

never kudos (lurker, booooo)

kudos only your most favorite fics (personal taste)

kudos only fics you would recommend to others (don't be shy. ❤️ that smut fic)

kudos only fics you'd reread (this is what bookmarks are for)

kudos only fics that are complete AND that you enjoy

kudos only fics that you have read fully and enjoy, whether or not it's complete

kudos ALMOST everything, but will withhold if you really disliked it

kudos EVERYTHING. if you make it to the bottom of the page it's instant kudos.

which fake name sounds more iconic for a dvd player?

Plomy

Zisko

Voting ended onJan 24

hello tiny people in my phone, now that i have caught your attention with a poll, i’m doing a project for my linguistics class that requires i come up with two fake word names for a product and then ask people which they think is more iconic. however i can’t count your answer unless you reply/tag this with your first language and which you voted for! i’m especially looking for people to reply who have a first language other than english but regardless, the more the merrier!

if you want to explain your reasoning that’s fine but not required. thank you!!

REDDIT DUDES ARE MAD ABOUT KARLACH TOPPING THEM

[monsieurhedge]

People can gloat all they like, but people probably shouldn't be "jumpscared" into sex acts they don't want to perform.

[thetenthdahcta]

It's not so much that they were jumpscared into "sex acts they didn't want to perform" because ultimately it's a fictional character and pixels on a screen. What's really happening here is that these men were fully expecting a sex scene where they would assume the dominant role because in their minds that's the role for men and women are meant to be submissive. But instead this character didn't act according to their cisheteronormative standards and they felt emasculated because they felt she didn't behave the way she's "supposed to".

[thetenthdahcta]

@bird-bureau​ Thank you for very succinctly saying what I was attempting to get across.

[roach-works]

two things are also true in real life: men can get sexually abused and assaulted by women, and rape is as wrong for women to do as for men to do....

but also there are lots of men who frequently do not 'consent' to 'allow' women to 'take' positions that these men feel should be the sole prerogative of men, such as being strong, powerful, aggressive, or dominant. and in that case those men can shut the fuck up and cope.

[caecilius-est-pater]

If this is a player being forced into doing sex acts against their will then every sex scene in a game like this forces players into doing sex acts against their will. Games rarely give you the option to decide what positions, acts, etc. you're going to do, you just make the choice and watch whatever animation the game designers have cooked up for you. It's not like every other sex scene in this game has a choose-your-own-position menu and this one doesn't.

This isn't an issue of consent, it's an issue of gender roles being so ingrained in people's minds that they see "sex" as consisting only of specific acts that subscribe to their worldview, and anything that doesn't conform to those standards is a shocking betrayal.

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s amazing how on the internet I’m like hey here’s a thing that helped me. Maybe it will help you.

And then someone is always like if I do that thing though it will kill me.

Probably don’t do it then. Idk what you want from me, man.

[what-even-is-thiss]

If I’m like adding tomato to your sandwich is yummy and you’re like “but I’m deathly allergic to tomatoes what am I supposed to do”

Idk dude. Not eat tomatoes I guess.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve got this old post where I was like hey sometimes it’s fun to try to get a chore done while you’re waiting for water to boil or something. Might help if you have adhd. It’s free deadline.

And I still get people commenting on that post like uhm no some of us have anxiety so bad that we’d pass out if we did that.

Like. Probably don’t do that then?

Tumblr has trouble with the concept that there's a huge range of options in between "forbidden" and "compulsory."

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.

i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it's SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.

obviously a fucking BABY wouldn't know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn't get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.

i hate this feeling. it's so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they're learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they're brand new. why didn't i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it's this easy?

it's so easy. it's so fucking easy.
