Tintin Meets The Detectives

Art by Adam Murphy

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

i'm not really into blondes but this is an objectively absurd connection to make

peachfromcmbyn

In order to be properly non-pedophilic you have to want to fuck somebody old but not with gray or white hair because that's too close to blonde which as we've established is the hair color of children. So ideally somebody old as fuck but bald. And obviously wanting to have sex with a man is misogynistic so it has to be a woman. And it can't be a white woman because that would be racist and it can't be a woman of color because that would be fetishistic, so ideally a woman with some unnatural skin color, oh let's say, purple. But it can't be an alien, because we don't know anything about alien life cycles so it could be an alien child or an alien that looks like a child. So it has to be an animal from Earth, but obviously one of human level intelligence that can communicate is otherwise that would be bestiality. So an old purple female animal that can speak English. I think the only creature you can be hot for is the Ant Queen from A Bug's Life.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

cave divers when they are happily married with kids and beloved by their community but theres a crack in the bottom of a lake called The Devil’s Rotting Esophagus where 57 people have died

This is just The Magnus Institute.

Nope.

They have a gas-based firefighting system instead of sprinklers for obvious reasons. It does lower the percentage of oxygen in the building, but not enough to kill anyone.

I found this by googling “Yale library fire oxygen.” It was literally the first result.

Fact-checking is your friend.

crazyintheeast

It’s true. It’s not the fire suppression system that kills you. The Librarians come and personally murder you for starting a fire in a library. But you didn’t start a fire you say? No matter. You are collateral damage. Everybody gets killed to show that arsonists have no chance of escaping justice

can anyone tell me whats going on with the neopets ttrpg i see people Reacting to Things on bluesky but i'm not sure what exactly theyre reacting To

ot3

wow

it is. Bad. its quite not good. i assumed it would be bad based on the kickstarter and therefore didnt back but this is bad in such a wildly different way than expected

these are merely some highlights when i was going through it yesterday before i got lightheaded from laughing and had to make dinner

essentially its a piecemeal of mostly d&d 5e, with some pathfinder 2e and maybe savage worlds thrown in. largely seems to be a fairly dark dungeon delving / murderhobo (i hate that term but dont know an alternative) kind of game that assumes lots of gritty tactical combat and pc death

the most charitable reading of it i can come up with is that this is what d&d 5e would be if it existed in the neopets world?? like this is d&d 5e For neopets?? which i dont think is what anyone was expecting and absolutely no one wanted

there is also some sort of internal snafu happening with geekify (ofc) and according to reddit the reason the beta is so late is that they may have gone through several full teams who took all their work with them upon quitting. when the gdoc first dropped there was a whole tab with nothing there that only said the team hadnt been paid to write that

importantly it does not seem like anyone on the team is a ttrpg designer of any kind

some more important facts: the beta was just released - on google docs - with public comments turned on - a FULL YEAR after the physical books were meant to be shipped out. even with 85% of it being ripped right from d&d 5e its incredibly half baked and messy and full of errors

despite being a huge neopets guy growing up i looked at the kickstarter in 2024 and said. lol. thats a trainwreck. i've never seen a PDF copy or character sheet paywalled behind stretch goals before (these were the first two stretch goals, at 2.5x and 3x the original funding goal of 40k usd)

anyway yeah its worse than i ever imagined and i do have screenshots of me telling friends it was going to be awful almost two years ago lmao. i did download a pdf copy to preserve for history cause i cant see the gdoc being up long

I don't think the fact that The Administrator is older than the invention of stairs in TF2 is talked about enough

"that should be easy enough you just have to open ms paint and turn on transparent selection!"

"WAIT MABEL- the transparent background isnt real you cant just-"

"Dipper. The pain hurts."

such-a-daydreamer

"Worry not, for I have the perfect solution for this! Thankfully, I always keep my IbisPaint Background Remover handy."

"........Uh......"

"Hey, there's still chunks of fake transparent background on me!"

"Yes, well-... Unfortunately for you, Stanley, your current file size causes some issues that impede my ability to effectively address your situation. I have yet to find a cure for your........... lack of resolution. Consequently, you must remain at your diminutive dimensions of 192 by 152 until a suitable remedy is found."

"What is that, an insult? Are you insulting me?"
