A lot of art forms feature modding and alteration, from video games to literary fanfiction to cooking, RPGs is I think maybe the single one where modding for its own sake is venerated and where the notion that maybe some people should learn a bit first is treated by many as verboten.

The same people who mock non conservatives for caring about people outside their immediate social circles love to insist you share an ineffable bond with strangers in the same haplogroup that you could never have with your neighbours.

Seeing another Reddit thread about 4E and dusting off this bad boy

Started playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Finding out the mascot of Goomba University is a Goomba.

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

There might be others but the one I remember is NSW Liberal leader John Brogden. When he crashed out in his unsuccessful election which included calling Bob Carr's wife a mail order bride we had an assembly about it.

Rufo might be one of the few conservative figures who's not a true believer in "the vibe shift" and at least partially understands it as cultural consent manufacturing for the committal of atrocities and ripping the copper wiring out of society. But like, this is the obvious outcome.

Rejoice!

I feel a great sense of peace looking at this picture.

Becoming an OSR guy but for the Neopets RPG. Preferred the days when Neopets was less about chatacter builds and more about player skill. The only pets you really need are Scorchie, Jub Jub and Macy Gray.

new Bond girl is named PV and its stands for "Pussy Vagina" and when she reveals her name to James bond she sexily whispers "I have both pussy and vagina..." & he gets so excited he just starts runs around the room saying "wow! Wow!" and falls out a window.

Sad to discover the Neopets RPG is focusing on the usual stuff bad RPG adaptations focus on (barely altered D&D mechanics) and not the things that make Neopets special (eating big omlette)

*A second after my ribcage is penetrated by an RPG* Golly that smarts! Ah well, can't get any worse from here

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

I know that people tend to be less receptive to qualitative arguments about AI but - people respond far more positively to amateur but sincere art than superficially competent art without a voice.

Fond memories of this one. The actual game was dogshit tie-in platformer stuff, but the soundtrack is burned into my skull.

The camera operators tasked with capturing enthusiastic crowd members are fighting for their lives.

One thing I will say for the Zak S bullshit, it inoculated me pretty well to this specific kind of guy, "Random Dickhead, Freelance Detective".

Space Marine (watching me play Animal Crossing): Your island is infested with foul mutants. Me: They aren't mutants, that's just what animals look like in this game. Space Marine: I see. (Biskit asks me to give him a new catchphrase) Teach it to praise the Name of the Emperor.

The pedo elite view trans rights and particularly the rights of trans minors as a threat, as they do anything that asserts young people as individuals instead of property of their elders.

A little miffed I did the backlog GOTY 2025 stuff before getting too far into Look Outside because it would have easily been my pick for Music if I were further in.

"You only aren't freaking out that your neighbour was born in another country because you've been brainwashed by globohomo propaganda" - Guy whose entire ideology was handcrafted by an elite cabal of pedos.

The author of this piece needs to trick you into thinking "is it cool if I call you in a couple minute" "yes/no but how about half an hour?" is an immense burden because otherwise the entire argument falls apart.

He's like the evil mayor the heroes struggle against in Act 1 of a fantasy story. Yes, a horrible preve of shit but not wrong about the demons lurking outside the city walls.

congragulations

Art crosses boundaries in that you can have a scene of a revolutionary fighter talking about their bone-level conviction that the cause of humankind is freedom and equality and peace and a double digit % of the audience is gonna be like yeah that's right they cant stop me from saying slurs at work

My partner and I first connected over our shared love of Neil Gaiman.

One of the things that's so sad about the internet sucking is how easily it could rule instead. YouTube in particular is full off windows into fascinating niche worlds.
