Some of All, All of None

This blog mostly consists of peotry and other things I write. The elemental musings were written mostly for fun but can be used as incantations for LARPing or otherwise.

Speaking of player-hostile design, are you familiar at all with the Cursed Halo mod? FPS games don't seem to be your normal wheelhouse but it's a fascinating example of playing around with the kind of player-hostile decisions you've talked about before

I'll probably never play it, but the promotional video for the expanded Steam Workshop version is one of the funniest trailers I've ever seen:

the fuck did I just watch

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

@moonlightcrazyphoenix replied:

There are several things with rng effects, one of which is a giant naked Thanos, with his giant purple dick out. This of course gets your stream instantly demonetized, which definitely lends a certain amount of fear to using the rng frag grenade

I believe the dev eventually caved on that one and added a setting you can toggle to censor Thanos' giant purple cock. The censor bar is shaped like a Twitch logo.

There's a cool idea for some OCs in here somewhere...

As a kid I always thought that if telepaths were real I'd know because of any of them tried to read my mind the firehouse of insane bullshit would make them drop to the ground screaming, if not actually explode.

My adolescent ADHD and Adult autism diagnosis were the opposite of a surprise.

Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)

I've said it before but this is both the Icelandic and the Irish approach:

Of course we're modern educated people who don't believe in fairies

But we're also not gonna fuck with 'em, we're not idiots

I wonder if there would be laws against discrimination according to daemon in the HDM/Golden Compass world, by the modern era

[thelawfulchaotic]

“Her daemon’s a snake. Pass”

“Why”

“All snakes are liars”

“Suzanne, this is the biggest, yellowest snake I’ve ever seen. Suzanne, there is no way this giant banana has a deceptive bone in his body. Suzanne. Suzanne he has a hat”

[time-in-red]

I had spent an unreasonable amount of time thinking about (in no particular order): what daemons would be selectable in video games with customizable characters (every default scruffy white guy protagonist has a dog or wolf daemon), game controller designs for daemons to control the character's daemon (probably would be useful in wider availability of electronic controllers for humans with different physical needs as well), separate discord chats for daemons while their humans are on one voice channel, people lying about their daemon's form online, humans and daemons switching places in non-in-person voice interactions to create a different (and different gender-reading) identity, intra-community drama with people complaining about "not all trans people have clownfish daemons" and whether people with a different-gender daemon post transition are too cis-passing and what if your daemon does identify with their biological sex when the human doesn't or doesn't when the human does, locked room murder mysteries with insect/snake/other small daemons, "people with aquatic daemons that fit into fish tanks with wheels vs. "well you could put your daemon in a fish tank and wheel it with you, you don't really need accommodations like someone with a <i>real</i> aquatic daemon, bedroom layouts so you can go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without your daemon having to leave the bed.

We don't get Wildbow Protagonist Moments™ like this anymore 😔

[crowns-of-violets-and-roses]

Or well I guess we do but it's for characters who are definitely intended to be attracted to women

[rozzie-bear]

I just read this bit two minutes ago and had the EXACT SAME THOUGHT

"there are people who you see and think 'wow they could be a model' and people you see and think 'they NEED to be a model,' and Erin was the latter."

Girl

GIRL

I know you're still struggling with "is my attraction to girls lingering from what Amy did" but GIRRRLLLLL

[lipstickchainsaw]

Look, I'm pretty sure Victoria's 'bi but in denial' thing is actually intentional.

But not Taylor? Do tell.

The real reason your sapient dragon character needs a "rider":

Dragons on the wing are vulnerable to being mobbed by smaller, more agile flyers, particularly in your large rear blind spot, like a bird of prey being mobbed by crows. Having a human armed with a long spear perched on your back helps to dissuade anyone from getting any funny ideas.

Breath weapons are impressive enough on the ground, but in flight they're really only good for strafing stationary targets; trying to use your breath weapon in an aerial dogfight is a good way to get fire up your nose. A real fight calls for sterner measures – and, concomitantly, a crew to aim and reload the cannons.

In today's competitive world, it's not enough to devour a flock of sheep and call it a day if you want to keep your edge. You're accompanied at all times by a qualified personal alchemist tasked with carefully regulating your internal furnace to ensure peak performance, and sometimes you even listen to them.

No dragon of any quality would be caught dead without their valet. It's not as though you can announce your numerous long-winded titles yourself when introductions are called for, can you? You suppose next you'll be expected to pick up the spoils of your conquests yourself, like a common brigand. Perish the thought!

Wizards are not naturally immortal, in fact creating their own form of immortality is their graduate thesis.

[marlynnofmany]

“I have created a perpetual healing spell.”

“A classic. Congratulations.”

“If my soul leaves my body, this spell will keep it around and lucid enough to magic myself back together.”

“Effective. Next?”

“My spell feeds off the life force of microscopic things! When bacteria die near me, it adds to my total. Wiping down the sink with antibacterial cleaner gives me SUCH a buzz; I think I may have to dial it down a bit.”

“…I would be very curious to see your notes about this spell.”

“I tied my body’s physical shape to my self-image. As long as I feel young, I won’t age.”

“I see it also gave you… ah…”

“Massive dobonhonkeroos?”

“I was trying to find a more diplomatic way to bring it up.”

“An unexpected side effect, but not an unwelcome one.”

“Shall I assume it’s she/her from here on out, then?”

“Oh yes.”

[forensicfabulist]
