I wonder if Bobby and Chippy were concerned for Rona the first few times she did this when they moved in or if they just accepted it. People seem to accept a lot of things in this world.

I have my own interests, and they occasionally require resources that are difficult for me to acquire. Soul gems, for example.

Mages Unite ✨ Tee version will be available very soon👀 ⟡ #finalfantasy ⟡ #art ⟡ #illustration

Image shows four different types of mages that are walking in a row, surrounded by nature, a river and starry sky. The river is reflecting what the sky shows.

First we see a Red mage with a ranger hat with a feather, long white hair and wearing a red coat with cloak. He is holding a rapier with his right hand

Behind him is the White mage wearing a big white cloak with red triangle/way patterns, she is blonde with braided hair, and holding her staff.

After her is the Black Mage, wearing a big blue cloak with a pointy wizard hat. They're holding a rod with their hand.

and for last: we see the Summoner wearing a red headband with a horn attached to it. He is wearing a big yellowish cloak with a big yellow ribbon on top.

I was introduced to Shaun Tan when I think I found The Arrival or The Lost Thing in my Primary School Library. Tales is perhaps the one I think about the most though, especially Alert but Not Alarmed or The Nameless Holiday. Shaun's works are some of the prizes of my book collection to this day.

Really been thinking in the past few days that Luxon, by not firing Peters, has to accept that National is a racist party. It doesn't really matter if he swears black or blue that he doesn't agree. 1/2 #NZPol

Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

Two besuited men, one with a mustache and one with glasses, looking sorta to the camera, and the one on the right with the glasses is kinda smiling and asking "Mothra gave you power of attorney?"

In response to the latest NZ Budget, I am once again asking Labour to, if not actually reveal policy, say which ones they will instantly repeal when they come into power. Just say, "This is a stupid law and we'll get rid of it". That's at least some consistency! And easy points as well! #NZpol

Playing OG Shovel Knight for the first time in ages in anticipation for Mina the Hollower. While I'm pleased how well it holds up, it's making me appreciate just how phenomenal Specter of Torment is.

Art of the ancient Americas may not be your thing, but you have to love this earthenware crab vessel. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules. 🦀 This is going into our imaginary museum replica store, pronto. #LACMA Colombia, Calima style, Ilama period, ca. 1500 BCE-100 CE. 🏺 1/ 📸 me

Earthenware crab vessel with two spouts flanking a round handle on its back. It's painted a reddish-orange color and its stumpy claws are closed in front of its cute little face. It's standing up on its six non-claw legs, which are also stumpy. Insanely adorable.

i am not 100% sure whether @wesaketchak.bsky.social is the original maker of this mash-up but i am 100% sure that it is brilliant and was crafted for my enjoyment particularly

A multi-panel using the style and characters from Calvin & Hobbes, but with dialogue and art referencing the book "House of Leaves."

In the first panel, Susie Derkins approaches Calvin and asks "Hey Calvin, you want to play "House"?" but the word "house" is in blue text.

Second panel: Calvin respond "I don't know. How do you play?"

Third panel: From our POV we see a doorway, through a doorway, through which another doorway is visible, through which is visible another doorway... between rooms, Susie can be seen moving laterally.

Panel four: Susie is walking through a massive hallway. Other doors, turns are visible. She seems so small, as though the ceiling is several dozen feet above her, as though she has been reduced to a child's toy in a house.

Panel five: Calvin is in the dark, in his pajamas now, holding a flashlight which seems to have found a large hole in the floor.

Panel six: Calvin is running downstairs in the dark, a vague shadow in pursuit of him, as he yells "HELP HELP! IT'S AFTER ME!"

Panel seven: Bird's-eye view of a typical-looking house.

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.
