  • I read this as someone being real mad that the game is chaotic, and it’s like, that’s the best part about the game to me? There’s no ACTUAL DM, so the next best thing is what in my mind I’m calling the “death loop” system, just being able to go back and load a different save. At a game table the DM would, within reason, find a way to work with PCs being ridiculous; since it’s not possible to truly replicate that, the game just embeds chaos in the decision trees instead. That’s literally what makes it so fun. Most of the time the game is telegraphing what the real dumbass choices are, but I like how it’s not always immediately obvious. It keeps me on my toes. And sometimes I just save before choosing the stupidest option simply because I want to watch that shit play out.

    I just feel like they’ve fundamentally misunderstood the point here.



  • Is anyone else really confused why so many people are concerned about this when the Earth is literally boiling away and fascists are integrating themselves into every government system? I’m not saying we should be completely ignoring this concern but I just do not understand the obsession with it. My dad keeps talking about the AI singularity and I’m like that’s the least of our problems right now? Maybe that’s just me but…


  • I feel like normally I would share y’all’s view on this and be like “good” but now I can’t help think about how Twitter was a critical space for organizing a lot of resistance movements. Really starting to believe those pieces that were like “Musk bought Twitter to bury it”

    We were all like “he’s not that smart” at the first few articles, but now I’m like, this dude has poisoned the well so utterly - and now he’s getting rid of blocking, apparently? - like, fuck. (And yes organizing on a corpo platform was never going to be truly reliable/safe, but still, esp for folks just getting exposed to activism, this “on ramp” space going to shit really sucks.)

    I know we’ll always find/create new spaces for ourselves, but this is a blow to a lot of networks.


  • Threads of Fate. Shape shifting into the cool creature forms (esp the gargoyle) and running around.

    Okami. Literally, the whole ass game lol.

    WoW. Exploring, collecting herbs, and skinning mobs in druid forms.

    LOTRO. Just riding around.

    Witcher 3. Just riding around, taking in the views - and possibly being waylaid by random wolf packs and bandits, but then the cool music starts playing and Geralt says hilarious random shit while chopping heads so that’s also fine.

    Genshin Impact. Just running around doing random shit as Klee.
