Caves of Qud

This... isn't that easy, actually... Water is already my favorite drink, I can already talk to cats, I already have ears and don't need a tail, I have reasons for not wanting E, I rather like my fuzz, and I don't care about being attractive, so goodbye sleep, hello pizza, and hey $20 is always nice

Bodhi had no tree. The mirror has no stand. Emptiness is without form. Where, then, does the dust come from?

Oh yes I fucking would

This is what bourgeois society is, and always has been - pigs aping civilization, the worst and lowest of humanity clutching symbols and ideas which are not theirs and which they do not understand in a futile effort to ease their own burning, stinging sense of inferiority toward both the

cultured and dignified aristocracy they threw down and replaced, and the creative and practical working class they parasitize. They are the ugliest, most talentless, most worthless ruling class in human history and no matter how they try to deceive themselves, deep down they know it.

I would be unassailable. The mere thought of trying to attack me would inspire panic and dread to nightmare pitch in the hearts of my enemies

My body is a machine that turns cute Touhou doodles into Likes

They had to be, because they were paving a new path and that is not possible without studying paths that have already been trodden. Modern tech-bros are mere iterators *at best*, and more often than not they are merely investors totally uninvolved with actual tech and largely ignorant of it.

Oh they're doing the OUYA again?

Unfortunately, I wasn't raised that way, I had to learn it as an adult the hard way, by gradually losing most of my friendships and other relationships

Fucking hell, matte finishes should be mandatory on every vehicle

tbh, the US supreme court not budging on gay marriage is great, but also this happening while codifying anti-abortion and anti-trans laws is either strategic in the face of opposition or an example of the project of homonationalist integration, at a time where fascist parties have cis LGB leaders

Tbh, I think that the largest voices in "game design" were never actually qualified to be voices on that subject in the first place. They were never game designers, they were product designers. The principles they laid out were not guidelines for artistic effort but for manufacturing.

@kioraofmyst.bsky.social seems like you've got a skinwalker, dunno if there's a procedure creators follow in these cases but I figured I'd give you a heads up

Please consider supporting me on SubscribeStar, this obviously is a major income loss and I am not sure if I will be able to recover from it if things do not go smoothly subscribestar.adult/acvalens

I've been around since the 80's and while a few things have steadily improved since then, by and large things have either stayed the same or declined in quality. ESPECIALLY food and drink, which has become more expensive and less fresh and tasty over time, though I do appreciate the extra variety

Democrats when the GOP is destroying the global economy to bring about the mechahitler singularity: ermm get a load of mr orange tinyhands over here 🤪🤪 Democrats when a mayor is left of center: We would like to reiterate the goals of the democrats, and I don't speak these 14 words lightly, We mu-

Oh yes I fucking would

I guarantee you right now that there's a meeting taking place in DNC HQ about how to make sure Mamdani accomplishes nothing and serves only one term, and they've probably got the Republicans on zoom to secure their cooperation in exchange for benefits

What scares the DNC is not losing elections, but winning them with progressive candidates, because that risks alienating their corporate sponsors. It's their job to keep voters voting in corporate approved, conservative politicians and Mamdani represents the biggest failure they've suffered recently

New awareness campaign

Damn, didn't know RoA2 had moonwalking lol

Really the most environmentally conscious thing you can do right now is join a communist party and work toward the overthrow of the United States

This is true, because the only acceptable number is "zero", though for what it's worth I think "creepy pseudo-leftist guy who validates other creepy pseudo-leftist leftist guys' unrepressed reactionary vices" is still far more niche than just being a right-wing reactionary is.

No investigation, no right to speak

It's pretty fun! Get it! There are fox girls in it! And they're lesbian!!!

Nov 5 — D.C. This is not a one-day protest. It’s the start of a sustained, non-violent uprising to demand: Trump Must Go, Now! 📍Washington Monument, 11 AM #TheFallOfTheRegime #Nov5DC #RefuseFascism

And before that, the largest center for LGBT research in the world was burned by the Nazis, to liberal cheers, setting the global movement back by a century or more

Had a dream that Elon Musk died after a helicopter he was in literally caught fire, crashed, and exploded so hard it completely vaporized Also for some reason it happened in front of my house and I saw it and I broke this news by just posting LMAO ELON IS FUCKING DEAD

Is there a dinner plan

An excellent thread explaining why "harm reduction" is bullshit and liberals are the enablers of fascism. Voting Democrat is not a solution, it's an essential part of the process of entrenching fascist power and springboarding them to new heights.

Democrats are not only disgusting fascist enablers, they're also stupid because this is the reward fascists give to their enablers. Nothing awaits them but a violent death at the hands of the monsters they helped create and force upon all of us

Lmao, was it the best system for them? Probably not, the PSX and SNES both provide stiff competition. Was it "not great"? No, there is no conceivable standard of "great for JRPGs that it did not meet and exceed (obviously this is the take of the linked forum poster, not the Bluesky account)

The state of women's health care in the western world is such that the phrase itself is basically a misnomer, except for the underfunded work being done by women doctors and scientists to advance it.

Also, even if we were to pathologize that behavior it would be sociopathic, not psychopathic (which is different from sociopathy), and CERTAINLY not "psychotic" which has no relation to violent behavior at all; quote the opposite in fact

@lunydoobles.bsky.social do you take commissions??? 🥺

Gavin Newsom, folks

Hell of a thing to be going around calling people "white leftists" when their politics are the politics of the Black Panther Party and your politics are the politics of the people who assassinated the Black Panther Party, while we're on that topic

Of all the housing charts not made by MMI, this one is my favourite. It shows how, despite rhetoric, housing shortages aren't a global phenomenon, but they do seem to be an Anglo-American one.

At the risk of being conspiratorial, I think you're seeing so many people defend the nazi tattoo guy so hard because Blackwater would very much like one of their guys in Congress occupying "the left" and sent out some orders to help him out.

@gaudipern.bsky.social been reading Spiteful Healer, it's good. I'll get the book when it's available.

I hate Trump as much as anyone but I have to say watching him drag the dignity of this country though raw sewage over and over as liberals watch in horror has been a real silver lining on this dark cloud

Liberals are allergic to learning and have a memory shorter than the life span of a fruit fly

Fuck Harry Potter. Read your kids... god, literally almost *anything* lol, it's really hard to find something worse.

Clown shit

Western fascists are bad, but even now I still periodically get brought up short by just how *arrogant* western "socialists" are
