In Golden Flame Act 1 is now LIVE!

Welcome to Calliope! Colonized accidentally and then abandoned when the corporations lost interest, this frontier system has been slowly decaying for nearly a century and a half. You live on Hell's Gate, an old mining station whose glory days are long past - if it ever had them at all.

The heat management system is half a century past due for replacement. People report which part of the station they’re in by reading the error code off the nearest computer screen. The vent crab infestation is so bad some people have suggested just training them to show up for work shifts. There’s been power failures in Section 3B every day for a month. Oh, and last week, the printer broke, and it might be your fault! Good luck with that.

In Golden Flame Act 1 is a campaign for the Lancer RPG system that takes players from Licence Levels 0 to 5 across five action-packed missions, taking you from derelict ships in distant orbits to the rainswept scablands of a pre-life world, from a casino city built around a decommissioned mining ship to an asteroid mine overtaken by sinister paracausal forces.

This isn't even a joke it's just what we do

[hemipenal-system]

so often trans women are framed as being inherently sexually predatory towards cis women, which is obviously not true. to offset this, you can make fiction where cis women are the tiniest bit predatory towards (eagerly consenting (or very slightly resisting but her heart's not in it) because that's cute) trans women

[hemipenal-system]

if you’re a cis girl and you like a trans woman it’s critically important that you demonstrate that because she’s not used to being found attractive. you have to touch her. all the time. stand way too close to her and rub her hair and gently grope her a little bit. if she tells you to stop but she sounds kinda giggly about it and not actively upset you’re doing it right

[wirelessmousegirl]

There inventing a new kind of sadness and its called "the look in a trans woman's eye when she looks at a public swimming pool"

Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?

[boybeetles]

Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate

[flurrin]

Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.

[boybeetles]

Thanks for the correction! I was like 8-10 years old when this all went down (2014-2016) so I only know vaguely about it. I’m still learning about this.

[flying-potato2]

probably the most damning example of tumblrites not actually caring abt the wellbieng of children is how readily they leap at the opportunity to praise institutions like the catholic church for the most benign shit without a seconds thought to the millions of children who have been raped and/or murdered by said institutions. but yea, sure, that random girl online with a kind of icky kink is the real enemy whos the real danger to children lets all cheer for the pope.

Neither Thesis (2000s largely unmonetized creative culture internet but with dogshit politics where everyone was casually bigoted, irreverent and cynical)

Nor Antithesis (2020s paypro SEO corporate hellscape with slightly better politics in some places)

But Synthesis (2030s internet should return to the creative, anticorporate culture of the 2000s but with a drastically less cynical and bigoted attitude towards everything)

translation matrix for dealing with hounds:

'make me': I want this

'I need to punch something': I'm stressed and need walkies

'piss off': never leave me

'I'm going to kill you': thank you for the compliment

'I'm not a fucking dog': put a muzzle on me ASAP

'fuck you': I love you

'fuck me yourself': I love you too

[miscling]

missed some:

'I don't need a handler': I'm a lost puppy

'I'm the fucking best': I'm completely pathetic

'I don't need your approval': please like me

'I hate you': I need you more than anything in the world

OH NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

(for real this is good though)

[theproblematicone]

This is probably a point thats been made before but it bugs me when people act like the manticore is a suicide bomb mech because like. random guy in a cheap everest clone might not know about the angry water, or the fucked up horse, or why their mech is walking out of the airlock, but Everyone knows about the manticore. everyone knows that if you kill me, I'm taking you with me. Everyone knows 8d6 burst 2. and I'm standing right next to you. Which means you and your little friends have a Vested interest in keeping me alive. Castigate isn't a weapon, its a promise, and a suggestion that maybe you should shoot the saladin.

[vexwerewolf]

I actually made a point of this in my Manticore ransom note meme.

The Manticore has so much more tactical application than "walking bomb" but the discourse surrounding its one trait that almost never gets used in actual play is straight up impossible to cut through

Ozempic is a diabetes drug with a side effect of weight loss that is now rarely able to be prescribed for diabetes because of the value it possesses to the medical weight loss market, leading to the development of Mounjaro, a diabetes drug that has a less effective weight loss side effect, which is now under restricted prescription in the uk because it has become valuable to the medical weight loss market, driving the price up.

I am diabetic, I am on Mounjaro, and it’s done better for my HbA1c (blood sugar average) than any medication in the previous ten years of treatment, and would likely push me back into effectively “remission” on a higher dose, which I cannot be prescribed because of market conditions; and if I weren’t already on it from the NHS trial period, I would likely not get it now.

This kind of misinformation OP complains about above kills people.

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

[teaboot]

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

[teaboot]

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

[findingfeather]

I am making a VERY big point of the Ally flag in all my pride stuff at work.

Feel awkward about people maybe thinking you’re queer but still want to clearly signal “queers are okay with me”? SURE. LOVE IT. HERE’S YOUR WEIRD FLAG.

Don’t fucking at me about allies right now, they are ALSO actually getting fucking killed over us. Take your puri-gay shitty tent somewhere else mine is great with people’s cishet friends and relatives showing up to have our backs.

(“but what if they -“ shitty behavior is shitty behavior I don’t care if you INVENTED queer sex, if you’re acting like a douche i’ll kick you out. wanna act decent and accept the premises of queer coexistence and freedom, cool, i’m not judging you for feeling ok with the gender title they gave you in the delivery room or being attracted to people with the other standard issue title, grab a pop).

[queercripintersex]

Agreed, and also what the hell is is going to take for people to recognize that there are cishet queers? Intersex, asexual, and aromantic people are queer, it's exclusionary to be using cishet as a synonym for nonqueer.

[vexwerewolf]

Another important thing to remember is that people who are just accepting their own sexuality or gender may look exactly like a cishet person to you. People who have long accepted their own sexuality or gender may look exactly like a cishet person to you. Some queer people are not visibly queer.

I will happily make John Q Straightperson feel welcome at Pride if it ensures John Q JustOuttaCloset doesn't feel excluded.

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

[minothtime]

Basically, a translation could be:

I just think it's so interesting that people end up falling in love with their friends' boyfriends! I absolutely despise every single one of them. give me my fucking homie back you goddamn bastard
