Being 30 is fun. I was discussing anime with a teen at work and asked her how much of bnha she had watched. She had trouble answering and wasn't sure how to approach it. I said "better question was who was your husbando" and she turned bright red before mumbling an answer. They never expect me to know how deep their love of anime boys runs....

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

One time she said she used to be into BL and another employee down the hall asked what BL was and I yelled back "ITS YAOI" which reduced the teen to yelling "ITS SOFTCORE! SOFT CORE!!" So I yelled back "ITS SOFTCORE YAOI" anyway I get why dads are like that now

The German book cover industry has been my sworn enemy since I was 11 years old. But just to demonstrate I want you to see this example of Pterry's Snuff, UK edition and German edition

look! a fun book cover and a beautiful illustration on its own merits, by Paul Kidby who did most of the novels and official art in later years.

now. same thing in Germany:

you understand

it's always so alarming looking at the notes on posts about people's cool experiences with ttrpgs and seeing the sheer number of people saying something along the lines "unfortunately this relies on the assumption that the players aren't huge shithead assholes who are actively trying to fuck each other over and make sure their gm has a bad time."

like. yeah, it sure does. that's kind of a baseline assumption for me, the same way that when I invite friends to a potluck I feel perfectly safe assuming that no one is going to spit in the food. do you guys actually like the people you're doing recreational activities with? blink if you need help.

[mollyjames]

I mean this kindly, as I agree with the premise, but if you want people to play ttrpgs other than D&D, you need to start talking about why those games are enjoyable, instead of making fun of people for homebrewing in 5e for the umpteenth time

[mollyjames]

Furthermore, it's not good enough to simply list a summary of alternatives. That's not talking about why other systems are fun. You know what D&D has in excess? Stories. So many stories and comics and podcasts; stories that make people want to participate and play and make stories for themselves. You aren't going to convince anyone by criticizing them and then providing half-hearted alternatives. Say what you love about your system with your chest, loudly and unashamedly. Share your own stories. And if you dont have any, well... maybe you need to branch out.

[hojicha-tea-cat]

okay so I literally just hosted a “non-5E oneshot event” for a school d&d server where a bunch of GMs volunteered to run oneshots in other ttrpg systems. players are having a BLAST looking at some of the oddly specific game systems and themes out there.

don’t explain why 5E is bad or boring. say “hey look at this funky thing I found” and let people go wild over discovering an Arthurian legends style knight tabletop game where you roll 1d6 + 1d12 to determine your class is a real thing and exists

[adventuringdimwits]

I’ve been spending the past year or two slowly building up a dozen different Powered by the Apocalypse games to my players. To the point where we don’t play DnD almost at all anymore.

The thing that gets them is always just talking about what those systems do best. What makes them fun and exciting and how much you can do.

It’s not about comparing them to DnD cause people don’t listen to that. It’s truly about bringing to the table a game that speaks to the players, what they like, what they’re interested in, and building off of that.

I don't WANT my laptop to be the Thinnest Model Yet

I want a battery that will outlast the sun, a screen big enough to blind the person behind me, more USB slots than there are apple fanboys in the bay area, a fucking disc reader/writer

[canadiangold]

i will pay extra for it to be heavy enough to bludgeon someone to death

[thelooniemoonie]

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

[iapislazuli]

when i was at walgreens (at 3 in the morning which explains all of this) the cashier was talking to her coworker about how shed rather be a werewolf than a vampire because vampires are condemned to hell but werewolves arent and then she asked me what i thought and i said vampire because im already condemned to hell and she said in the nicest tone of voice “i dont think anybody is condemned to hell….” paused, stared at me for a few moments, and added on “…not even gay people”

“The new Gundam series is being spearheaded by the director of FLCL, the creator of Evangelion, and one of the lead writers of Revolutionary Girl Utena” feels like the kind of sentence that would emerge solely from fancast fever dreams, what kind of black magic ritual was used to make this happen??

[greatcheshire]

And so far it fucks btw. Like it’s so good.

[firewalkwithmedvd]

the phrase "who killed Laura Palmer?" is obviously a sort of touchstone for 90s television but I'm wondering if the answer to that question has ALSO made it to the general cultural consciousness. so. whether you've seen Twin Peaks or not

do you know who killed Laura Palmer?

yes

no
