Pinning this just so I can show off my characters

Hello! I'm Alex, a poly transbian dog on the internet. I like and will reblog/post about card games, video games, books, comics, and women. God I love women.

I basically do not queue so enjoy the flood whenever I'm online! Also I will be reblogging nsfw stuff so minors beware.

I probably have some tags I use consistently but I can't remember them, might edit this later.

Feel free to DM me or send asks, I don't bite (much). Doubly so for mutuals!! I want to talk to my mutuals you're all so cool.

I also have two furry oc's I identify with and use a lot! The collie Elvira is drawn by my lovely girlfriend, and the bunny Emma is drawn by the wonderful sonokido.

Making new legends?

Since our current D&D campaign will wrap up in probably just two more sessions, I asked the teens in my group what they wanted to do next and listed a bunch of options, one being taking another stab at playing Avatar: Legends, since I still have all the materials I got from the Kickstarter. Pretty much all of our group were interested, and I like to think we won't have as big a problem with murder-hoboism that plagued the previous attempt. I'm gonna bring the rules next session for everyone to look over and we can decide if we want to pursue it.

If not, they also seemed kind of interested in doing a Greek Mythology or King Arthur themed campaign, both of which I'm super into the idea of. So we'll see what we can figure out!

Trying to learn/relearn the Avatar: Legends rules is currently kicking my butt.

I've always been vaguely curious to read it just because of the IP. Is it particularly difficult? I've played a fair few systems already

Piece of Asian media: *has a title that's obviously not in English*

Fan Translators: hmm taking into account the intention of the original and the rules of both languages, plus the tone of the story, the best title would probably be something like Adherent of the Blade of Duality, but probably an official translation would want to shorten it to Blade of Duality, or perhaps Double-Edged Sword to borrow a popular turn of phrase that also fits thematically--

Official English Translators: Master of Double-Penetration

Apparently the dude who runs the crematorium is just fundamentally confused about how advertising works. He actually thought that the way you made an ad was you found a picture that got people’s attention … and then also included information about your company. He was genuinely surprised and baffled when people thought there was any relationship between the (independently nonsensical) captioned image and his cremation business. There were two more ads in the series that are equally, just… so much…

I think the thing that annoys me most about AI on a personal, day to day, level is what it has done to grammar checkers. If you've never done a lot of editing, or used to 5+ years ago but haven't really in the last couple years, I can't even begin to describe how fucking BAD this shit has gotten. And as an author it is EXHAUSTING.

I just want to catch spelling errors and accidental double spaces and repeated phrases and whenever I use the wrong too/to or affect/effect and shit. But no. They've shoved AI up the ass of every grammar checking software out there and now they all fucking suck and make the most random, obnoxious, nonsensical suggestions.

And yeah, I can ignore all the times it's trying to get me to cut out any semblance of my own voice, or shove things into the wrong tense, or make the most random suggestions on comma usage. But if it's getting all that WRONG, what is it just straight up missing that I SHOULD be correcting? What real spelling and grammar errors are still lurking in there?

"Use Libre Office."

I get why people keep saying this (and other versions of it like "Use Adobe alternatives" and "Use Google product alternatives."). But here's the problem: I do not create in isolation. Even my own 100% personal projects are getting sent to other people whether it's editors or printers or beta readers and unless every single person in that train is using the same products, things can get wonky.

Libre Office and Word handle formatting differently on the back end, which can completely break documents if you move them back and forth between the two. So if I write in Libre Office but my beta readers are still using Word, when I send them a manuscript for review there's a good chance things won't look right and my beta reader will not actually be reviewing what I sent them.

Industry standards are industry standards FOR A REASON. Having everyone on the same workflow can be crucial to getting things done effectively and correctly without creating a lot of extra work. And those things are not going to change overnight, as much as we might want them to.

Yeah, Word, let me just leave this whole chunk of dialogue without the closing quotation marks. That's the thing to do. How dare I have two punctuation marks in a row. It's not like that's how closing quotation marks fucking work.

[thatdisasterauthor]

I am going to light something on fire.

And you know, for young writers, this has got to be so detrimental just from the perspective of opening your document and seeing a million corrections that, frankly, don't need to be there. If you're a young writer you're likely not going to have the background knowledge to know what is and isn't a good suggestion, you're just going to see a document that makes it look like you made every mistake possible so clearly you must be a terrible, stupid writer and should just give up.

One fun thing about my town is that about two years ago, our feral rabbit population tripled, and while we mostly had grey rabbits, there were a handful of white and black rabbits as well.

Two years later, it turns out grey rabbits are hard to see on the road, and white rabbits stand out to predators, so now we have a bazillion identical black rabbits roaming the streets like lost souls of the damned
