[They/Them] If I don't directly tag it as "My ____" it is not mine, I reblog a lot of stuff from wonderful people :) I'm a fan of many things, sometimes I write about them and sometimes I just imagine writing about them! Profile Picture by Me! Banner by Me! (My Splatoon OC Kano [Left] & My friend's (@bluequilledkimono) OC Wake [Right].)

there should be a term for characters you personally don't care about but you defend them anyways because the way people treat them is really uncomfortable. like ok this is a very middle-of-the-road character for me but the fandom's either been super misogynistic, racist, etc. about them or harassed innocent people who try to genuinely explore that character warts and all, and i find that more annoying than the actual character.

[androgynousmoonboy]

the term should by 'my client', like you're a lawyer defending your client that you are completely indifferent to but you are obligated by your job (or your morals) to defend

Imagine being the local jock from Toshe Station and turning on the news to learn that the guy you called “Wormie” in desert high school just killed the two most powerful people in the galaxy.

[whetstonefires]

oh also turns out he came back to town and killed the mob boss who controlled everything and then left again without buzzing any of his former acquaintance so probably you’re Beneath his Notice; mixed feelings about that

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

yes, you’re correct, this takes place at tatooine high school

It’s all they talk about while picking up power converters at Tosche Station

number one rule! never believe ur thoughts after 10 pm . unless its about The Character then believe all of your thoughts wholeheartedly

[txttletale]

the funniest thing about 'computer, enhance' is that it implies that everyone in those shows has their computer set to Piece Of Shit Blurry Image Mode by default for no fucking reason

[txttletale]

computer activate Useful Mode

I love the Vees different clothes like in the Christmas photo or in S2E8 because Velvette absolutely designs Val’s and Vox’s clothes for them and she always tailors it to what she knows they like and are comfortable with. Val’s fashion sense is more in line with her own but Vox seems to point blank refuse to show any skin ever and she accepts that and makes something he’d actually feel comfortable in, probably sacrificing her own artistic preferences for it

Cody: Sir, I think that was your Padawan.

Obi-Wan: Oh, no. That was Ahsoka.

*much bigger explosion happens*

Obi-Wan: That was Anakin.

Ok, thought experiment:

You have two TTRPGs, Adventures & Aberrations, and Brigands & Bloodshed.

A&A has a well-known, glaring flaw in its rules as written, which results in critical hits being worse across the board for every player character, always, despite the rules presenting critical hits as particularly damaging. The solution is well-known and a standard house rule the entire community knows about.

B&B has the exact same rules, except that the critical hit rules have been fixed.

In both games, you are instructed that you can change the rules if you wish.

Is B&B a better game than A&A, or does the fact that you can houserule away the difference mean that they are equally good games?

[tpwrtrmnky]

Suppose, for the sake of the thought experiment, that "I like when critical hits suck" is an incorrect opinion for these games.

[vriska-coded]

My personal opinion, except my opinions about ttrpg design are always correct (obvious /j there)

B&B is better. Here are the reasons:

- A game “instructing you that you may change the rules” is frankly irrelevant because you can do that with any tabletop game. Nobody asks Hasbro if they can play Uno with stacking +2s and +4s.

-Not everybody that plays a game is a part of whatever nebulous “community” exists around it, especially in the modern era of TTRPGs where you can buy a game online and play with your friends while never speaking to a single other person about it. Those players are deprived of the house rule, especially if they are not adept enough at game design to fix it themselves.

-Fundamentally, a game which more competently achieves its design goals is a “better game” if we are trying to assess something as subjective as game design by objective standards.

TLDR: if I buy a game and it’s not a playtest draft, I shouldn’t need to go on reddit or join a discord for it to function properly.

one of my favorite tropes in chinese literature is when a guy’s wife is clearly a ghost/demon/fox fairy and he just can’t see it. i’m reading a story where this guy keeps getting arrested because his wife will just magically steal steal shit out of sealed boxes and give it to him as a present, and whenever someone is like dude i think something’s up with his wife he asks her and she’s like i’m literally normal. so he turns around and says yeah guys she’s literally normal

I literally CANNOT read the words "supine" or "prone" in anything without thinking about that post that's like "supine is when you lay on your s(u)pine and prone is when you lay on your pronis"
