It's not a question of old or new, the NES/SNES era were figuring the roles of gaming, had pixel art, arcade difficulty hiding storage limitation. PS2 and DS were 3D capable, were the era of standardized control, had long form content... Sharing the same term (retro) doesn't work.

"Larp" is just the new rebranding term for gatekeeping purpose because they're in a constant cycle of preventing people from catch on how much gatekeeping is pointless, dumb bullying for the sake of bullying.

Woo!! I just caught up to the seasonal format and am going to start the season about Angels (I suspect it was last year's?) tomorrow! Looks like I'm going to be caught up just in time to... learn this time it really IS alien? 👽 Eeeh, probably not!

I'm starting to suspect they're only feigning to have no media literacy just for spite and bad faith. MAGA consistently show they can understand subtext, indirect allusions, symbolism, etc. just fine the moment it involves their favorite predator, if only so they can leap to his defense!

On the contrary, that's a prime example how the same concept/object can have completely different energy based on execution.

I feel Spider-Gal keeps the winning sonority Spider-Man had.

This needs to be a bigger story. Google Docs is no longer safe for copyrighted material. Any writer on contract needs to stop using it *immediately*.

I LOVED it as a kid, it shaped a lot of my tastes in monsters and movies! (Merton was my role model in terms of geekiness!) But I'm afraid it won't hold up to mmy nostalgia if I ever revisit it? I expect a lot of campiness, but beyond that IDK.

Wii U was a console with an amazing library that people slept on, to the point people are still whining about the games they missed out until they get rereleased on a Switch. I don't think that's what we're trying to have with PS6.

They drove the graphisms to the ground, and it still had shit performance. But hey, what would you expect? XD

Need to tag @masae.bsky.social for her playthrough, it just made the high scores cursed AF... in StarFox's favor!

In other language they change the punchline, but it's still a dig at Costner's version. The most common dub rewrite, including French I grew up with, go for: Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I wear the tights!

Definitely! I don't want to spoil, but the drawing, with how prominent the disembodied eye is, could work as a dead ringer for a certain character later in the series!

So, what I'm reading is that a Spirit Thrall Necromancer can start the game being known for summoning pseudo-banshees and it can remain their signature throughout the entire campaign! 👻

And since he's NOT going away, he's guilty of banalizing goddamn pedophilia!! And not just bc of his sycophants being oK with it! Because believe you me, I'm a lot less horrified now than when I first found out (and that's sickening in itself OFC.)

Today I had to connect remotely (for unrelated software updates) to a user who had skinned his Windows 11 Pro taskbar to look exactly like those. The nostalgia is real!

TBH it could be said the most presidential thing in a whole decade.

Are they publishing dialogue about actual infohazard? XD

CaptivePlague @captiveplague.bsky.social · 18/06/2026
Normally it would be demeaning to focus on the bodily noises of such an old man, let alone a President; nobody's machinery run smoothly at that age. Here though, it's generally more interesting and less gross than what he has to say anyways.

Adorable! On the other hand, I'm worried for Vivi because she feels like the kind of gal who would get suckered into tasks that aren't in her job description, like moving heavy boxes, without correct compensation.

Of course! You can't expect me to innately know what format is expected of a formal mail. For instance I was job-searching last year, I had to look up templates for both introduction letter and follow-up mail AND find the ones that matched the "feel" of that job offer.

CaptivePlague @captiveplague.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
TBH it's only a valid argument because how awful AI actually is, because it ignores how an agonizing ordeal writing a formal email is to ppl like me. You would NOT believe the amount of stress, rewriting, research, and especially effort and TIME went in the generic 30 second read I send at work.

Knowing DC movie marketing, it's weird it only happened twice.

Didn't play a character myself, I allowed our Necromancy School to reclass into the Necromancer once I learned about it. He didn't seem to use this though, he instead preferred to use the Bone Spear spell!

Amazing! Valerie doesn't get nearly as much fanart as she deserves, what with her unique look, cool design and being 1st Gym Leader of her Type!

I'm currently running Carrion Crown and my PCs are in the vicinity... I'm wondering whether the antagonists in this are related to the Whispering Way around that time.

I HAVE been using the same phrasing "show the skeleton, you cowards" for years about those Resplendent, including as a FB character page. ALL my respect for this, and your art is consistently incredible!

Who is this and where are they holding Cementoss?? 😱

I came back to Bluesky specifically for Cementoss/Grimoire shenanigans, and it did not disappoint! Who knew a couch could hide a hunky-- I mean hefty slab of concrete so effectively?

Or if it helps: you know how you suddenly resonate with something because it intersects with the content of the art or character you enjoy doing? Which leads to the age old philosophical question: Which came first? Having a type, or or doing fanfic? 😜

CaptivePlague @captiveplague.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
They're so good at providing spicier arts that *feels* like the canon character; the proportions, the textures, it often look just like an official FE picture would! (Sometimes moreso than some Heroes official alts!) It's a break from "fan artists always add at least 2 cup sizes to all characters"!

Weak ego asides, that's also because he tries very hard to become a real dictator. And that requires forcing the people to accept the narrative of him being The One True Leader for the nation. So he must erase any relevant presidential achievement preceding his own.

I'm partly with Bev, though I'll put my disbelief at Steven reading. x) Especially clever dog is homesick, looks at boat pictures and daydreams of sailing back to his family. Or recognizes the lingering smell and image on a picture of someone he misses.

Paizo: We're removing Alignment, so you can't just assume something is evil anymore. Also Paizo: Here's our newest dragon, a horrific faceless monster who uses mockeries of living beings to lure you to a gruesome death.

Analyzing is *always* a rabbit hole, so the question you ought to ask yourself is: "Do I want to fall into that hole knowing what I already know about her and her intent?" Just thinking about what I REMEMBER about S.P.E.W. makes my head spin, sooo... 😵‍💫

I swear, I expected Makoto to enforce a rule to use 3rd person to talk of the Thieves, given how she found them. Nobody would have batted an eye at Ryuji screaming "They're so cool!", or a bunch of teen wondering who "they" would target next!

TBH I'm still giving them the benefit of doubt. They'd 110% still do it even if it annoyed nobody at all, if only because it's the most hilarious thing they could think of.

Yes, the shield was surpassed, hence why the character had to DO something and spend a reaction to put the shield in the equation again and Block some damage. If PF is supposedly stupid, but the guy raging at it isn't even able to understand it, where does it put him?
