terrified of responsibility

This should happen in Fallen London. And they should never explain why or how it happens.

Including the CDs, nobody in the Neath has any idea what those are. It is unclear if they have been invented on the surface even.

Full Subjectivity Sync gotta have the most jarring tonal disconnect between its lore and its mechanics

Lore: I am one with the machine. Its steel is my new flesh, its wires my new nerves, its reactor my new heart. My veins are aflood with coolant. The edge of a sword kisses my armor and I feel the sting of pain, sharp and clear and cold, driving me onward. I dash forth upon steel legs and strike with arms of titanium. The hot wind of the battlefield scours my shining chest. The many-lensed cameras that are my eyes roll back in blissful anguish. The thrumb of my main gun echoes in my loins. I am an iron god. 🥵🥴😵‍😵

Mechanics: +2 Evasion ☝️🤓

#lancer rpg #lancer ttrpg #snek rambling #seriously though I can think of better lore off the top of my head #instead of “integrated-armor fabrication” we have “integrated-armor fabricatoRS”#so the mech is actively plugging holes in it's plating as they appear with on-board mini printers #that's neat and even works lore-wise with IPS-N manufacturing the Lancaster!#and I'd believe that yeah- that takes some specialised kit and investment to integrate #rather than what amounts to putting a chainmail shirt on under your plate #you should be doing that anyway- and so should all the other manufacturers!

This comment has been sitting in my head gently rotating like a rotisserie chicken for a while. Sloped Plating really is the complete opposite side of tonal disconnect between lore and mechanics.

It's one sentence, mentioning it's a common pick by pilots to reduce gaps in external plating. That's it.

And +1 armour is a pretty decent chunk of survivability! It's shrugging off a damage off of every attack, and massively impacts defences against enemies that use multiple smaller attacks over single large attacks. This level of armour plating, either granting your otherwise fragile mech a measure of static defence or even augmenting the already-mighty bulwark of the Drake or the Genghis is achieved by... putting plating where there are gaps in the plating.

So is every mech design by every company, collective, and hegemony stupid, and they forget to armour the joints or... what is going on here? Did IPS-N just forget to add the fourth point of armour to the Drake and you have to call them and ask for the missing parts like a piece of faulty IKEA furniture? Is every other pilot stupid for not noticing this?

Instead of sounding stupid like Full Subjectivity Sync, Sloped Plating gets to make everyone else look stupid.

id lie right to willy wonkas face. “did you drink fizzy lifting drinks” of course not. And then id hit him

genuinely one of the weirdest takes i've ever seen. i don't think anyone on the planet feels the way you do about willy wonka. i don't think that you've actually seen either of the movies, if i'm being frank. i have nothing against depp's wonka, necessarily, but he certainly doesn't strike any fear in my heart. i definitely don't favor him. are you out of your mind? i can't wrap my head around how it's possible you have any sort of fear of depp's willy wonka when he's the only one of the two of them to have a backstory that gives any indication that he's a sympathetic character. he's sort of pleasant in his attempts to charm his visitors and seems to have some regressive symptoms. wilder's wonka is a maniac who yells at children. i mean nobody i've ever spoken to has felt this way. it's bizarre. it's making my stomach hurt.

rewatched both of the movies yesterday and i just wanted to say I was right and you were wrong

#so yeah i dont know what those tags are on about #snek rambling

I could kill the Johnny Depp Wonka with my bare hands and it would be easy. I would have strength enough spare to fight off a couple oompa loompas even.

The Gene Wilder one though would see me approach with violent intent and without changing from a mildly quizzical look, smoothly, slowly draw a slim pistol from a vest pocket and shoot me in the eye, killing me stone dead instantly.

This Wonka would look dispassionately at my cooling body as he puts the gun away with a little fumbling, as if thinking of nothing more important than extracting some shred of food between his teeth before commenting "Well.. that wasn't a very good idea was it?"

All before with a jump and a clap he addressed the rest of the guests as behind him a couple of black-garbed Oompa Loompas bundled my body away with practiced efficiency, all the while disregarding the screams of terror and outrage from the guests.

The tour wouldn't even stop.

How long did you have that Fem Jax design ready to go? Did you design her recently or way back when you were still making the pilot?

I drew it right before I posted it because I wanted to put pomni fucking ribbit into people's heads.

Infuriating Catholics by asking if I get to be my fursona in Heaven, and if they say no, pointing out that it's not Heaven if I don't get to be my fursona

Jima was SO good at the show these last couple of days. I think it's only fair to reward her with a sushi dinner.

just tell me to kill myself

swiftlark

hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot

zoestorm

Correct. Furthermore: children bending or breaking the rules to get a peek at something that's not intended for them is a part of growing up.

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #tadc spoilers

Also, a lot of things not intended for children are... at the end of the day kinda fine for them to look at of they really want to? They just won't get it and/or be grossed out by some of it. They won't explode or anything. It is literally fine.

Dumb idea

New arrival post-finale to the Circus, they're dealing with the existential crisis loredump and doing their best to calm down in the quiet dimness of the basement abstraction aquarium.

Kinger approaches and wordlessly sits beside them, and just when you think he's going to dispense some emotional wisdom he points to one of the abstracted and goes "That one is my wife. :)"

The confusion, the shock, the horrified respect(?) on the new arrivals face as they turn to look at Kinger.

why did they call them milkshakes.its not like they were making shakes from anything else lol

SNEAK ATTACK

#cute lizard #patpatpatpatpatpat #yis :}

ack, tegu'd!

I'm very very glad that my knee-jerk, gut-feeling, primal-instinct reaction to seeing a Default Influencer is embarrassment. I think this saves me from a lot of bullshit.

Some lip-filler lady on enough Ozempic to euthanize a horse: "The sad truth is an elite lifestyle takes money and discipline. Buy these brands on credit if you have to. Skip meals."

Me: "Oh. Oh I'm physically experiencing the effects of secondhand embarrassment. You live like this? This is your life? Your interiority? If I was anything like this I'd kill myself I think."

To be clear ☝️, absolutely not gender-exclusive. Some broccoli-haired shirtless 23-year-old man on enough trenbolone to euthanize a different horse starts talking about how to be a high-value male and I start thinking instantly about how I'd have 4,000 slugs use me as a jungle-gym before I'd want this man within cootie-contagion distance of me.
