Oh, interesting; is that Fierce Differences or something else?

OH! THAT ONE! I knew that one, it's just I didn't make the connection.

I'm out of the loop, what do green ribbons mean?

I think because the talking heads *at the time of covid* insisted this was going to be a temporary thing to quell fears, and then it wasn't temporary.

I want to agree, but unfortunately, I think there might *still* be enough broad public enthusiasm for this to spring up organicaly. They're making a whole Abridged Series style AU in memes, with Infowars Luna Lovegood and Vietnam Operator McGonagall.

Exhibitionist nightshade is a nice new twist.

Rewatching Babylon 5. It's free with ads on youtube last I checked.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Have we considered that a partial solution to the current crisis of anomie might be found in simply legalizing hallucinogens

Brilliant scientist with big naturals, perfect combo!

Slowly coming to the conclusion that the vast majority of the populace is genuinely too stupid to be allowed a say in the political process, but it is unclear how you would exclude them without creating a mechanism to just disenfranchise anyone the regime doesn't like

This has been an intellectual problem since Plato, and I don't think we've ever come up with a good solution.

Fuuuuck I'm writing an alt-history setting where nuclear weapons aren't possible, so I'll have to keep this in mind as a possible WMD-equivalent, the other being "genetically engineered fungus that destroys crops and causes famines"

It's also *mostly* not spread much person-to-person after the initial attack, right? So you're not going to accidentally wipe out half of humanity?

There's a whole lot of non-AI physical and digital infrastructure that's going to be left fallow when Oracle goes under. I'm sure there are contingencies, but it's going to be a rough.

Really hot concept. The top girl getting all flustered by the experience is especially cute

All very clear, thank you, all makes sense. For the record, I DO think that postmodern art has been a net negative for art and it's relationship to the broader public, though probably for very different reasons than the statue profile pic crowd. That'd be a long thread though, interested?

Ask a specific, answerable question, and I'll answer as best I can.

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And my point is that art that is *entirely dependent* on that outside is bad art.

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

My opinion is that Duchamp is a shock-jock who made a low effort publicity stunt, and a century later pretending is a profound work of art became a form of in-group loyalty signal for a certain type of smug asshole.

They're all either calling me dumb or saying "yes, that's the point" without explaining anything.

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Thanks for at least engaging with my post sincerely. No one else is, which is what I was talking about. Whatever Duchamps intent and context, in practice today, it is used to dunk on people who question it's merits and call them dumb and/or Nazis for being incensed by the deliberately incendiary.

I've never heard someone defend this piece on its own merits, only for "owning the establishment" or "pissing off the right people".

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Does it have any value though on it's own, beyond just 'making hoes mad'?

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Are you trying to bait me into a trap, or are you trying to understand and confront what I'm actually saying?

220

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

No, but I think that it was made for the sole purpose of screwing with art critics so he could say they 'just didn't get it'. A fundamentally insincere work.

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

You know those right-wing comedians who's only "joke" is being as vulgar and offensive as possible, and then act suprise when people are offended? Fundamentally, they and and this thing are the same, save for the accident of Duchamp being on your side.

The Disgaea series kind of makes it work because it takes it's sweet time building up to that, but I mostly agree. Other than maybe some endgame abilities, numbers should stay small. One extra stat point should feel significant.

hexplaceholder.bsky.social @hexplaceholder.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Duchamp is a troll who got lucky. What was the point of this?

Really good piece. Dark-but-glossy surfaces and skins can be hard to capture, but you did great!

*ex-catholic* *breeding kink* Yeah. Yeah, that scans.

"Attending slutcon is a de-facto mandatory for advancing your career" is bad. Slutcon or something like it existing is also just *a good thing*, and there should be more of them in more locations, and cheaper too.

I've got very strong feelings/opinions about this and people's reactions to it, but not very coherent ones.

I find solar punk insufferably twee and dumb, but your alternative sounds like It'd be an soul-destroying nightmare to actually live in.

Was there an official TES TTRPG I missed? Or is this another of your homebrew projects?

Oooh, cute! Are these from something, or is this just a oneshot?
