Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026really? In the United States they're sold at a loss. How are you worse at this than the US 000
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026what's strange is that a lot of this comes from Lord of the Rings... except LotR stars a rabbit-person whose uncle's friend is an angel. Even in the case of an ordinary boy from the British-coded countryside, Tolkien knew it was better to add a bit of the fantastical from the onset 000
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think urban fantasy especially has to kill the sacred cow of the magical world being hidden. I've yet to see a work where it makes sense in-universe, and what's the point of having urban fantasy if you're not willing to examine how the fantasy would impact the urban 130
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026closed species aren't a real thing, but I'm glad the charade has ended 020
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You'll be ok eventually, you'll get through it. I hope you'll feel happy again soon <3 010
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026how else you could eat shitty brownies and smoke shitty weed at the *same* time 210
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 17/09/2026shit, I meant Metal Gear Solid 2. I guess both of them, though 010
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 17/09/2026this is Metal Gear Solid 4, right? I dunno, I haven't played it yet. Very well done, btw. Very hot 110
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 15/09/2026but he only got control of the Inquisitorious Program after the Grand Inquisitor died. The Grand Inquisitor does not have Vader's sauce, or really any sauce at all, but we don't know if he would kill Inquisitors that try to fuck each other. You just gotta set the fic in the right era 010
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 31/07/2026choose one thing and do it in your free time for a few days! 110
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 31/07/2026since Power Words are you ordering magic itself to do something (except for Power Word: Pain which is dumb and stupid), wouldn't it be Power Word: Fuck 000
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 28/06/2026fwiw, the first mechsplo handler in mecha fiction, Namicar Cornell from Zeta Gundam, was a woman. She doesn't have much screen time in the show, though 020
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 18/06/2026water is actually very slightly blue, you just can't see it until there's a lot of it (like in the ocean). The same is true for air, which is why the sky is blue 110
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 26/05/2026this is a terrible idea. "Mid-level", too? Imagine spending a few hours making a character and discussing possible character arcs with your GM only to find out you won't be able to do any of that. Also animal companions would be super boring to play as in dnd (which I assume this post is about) 020
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 26/05/2026ttrpgs are a different medium. Namely, the players put a lot of effort into the PCs, expecting them to be the main characters. To be told that effort is wasted would be disheartening, to say the least. 130
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 16/05/2026UFO craze has always been a government misinformation campaign. Roswell was a spy balloon, Area 51 was the development of the B-2 Spirit. It's so often the government making people think it's aliens that they're covering up rather than the truth 070
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Ironically, this graph is bullshit and not what the Dunning-Kruger Effect is. The better you are at something, the more confident you are, but the *difference* between your perception of your abilities and your actual abilities shrinks 140
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 15/04/2026DC and Marvel have had a number of crossovers over the years. One was Batman vs The Punisher in which Batman handily defeated him 170
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 01/04/2026it comes from freebase cocaine. People would then be called "baseheads" to make fun of them. Rapper Lil B then decided to flip its meaning, calling himself "based" as an empowerment thing. It then morphed from there 120
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 28/03/2026don't the Houses use their heraldic animals, not their marks, as brand symbols? I thought it'd be more like people today recognizing what Google's HQ looks like - not impossible, but not expected either. Also it wasn't about tats, it was about a reddit thread (www.reddit.com/r/Eberron/co...)reddit.commarioinfinity's comment on "How easily recognizable are the dragonmarks in Eberron?"Explore this conversation and more from the Eberron community 200
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I agree, except for the SIM card. You very rarely need to open it and it's extremely important, but also you only need a paper clip to open it. It requires commitment to open, but is extremely easy to open. I think it's at a good balance 000
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026yeah but Star Trek is a bad example for that, considering there's a famous episode about the Federation nearly trying out slavery 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026and I think the idea that any evil can be permanently eradicated such that you'll never have to worry about it again is fundamentally a dangerous idea. It's the idea liberals had in the 90s, and it's why ICE is disappearing people today. It makes you complacent. And it certainly isn't Trek 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026it's a synonym for "setting". Especially when used in a context where killing a god makes something impossible 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026they said "world", not "culture/area". Also in Star Trek the Federation nearly does it 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026the idea that you can just "kill the god of [evil concept]" and then never have to worry about doing bad things ever again is an idea I think is extremely dangerous. It leads to complacency 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026that doesn't make it not a part of the world that arises somewhere inevitably? In fact, an important message of many of the best episodes is that even the Federation has to actively fight against injustice, and if they don't injustice will inevitably arise - it's the trial that never ends 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I mean, that's still slavery being a part of the world and arising somewhere inevitably 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 24/02/2026slavery does exist in Star Trek. It's not in the Federation but it's a classic Trek trope 100
Legatha @legabot.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I haven't watched episode 6 or 7, but what I saw is in episode 1 and 2 they established a really interesting psychological horror premise and then episode 3-5 Gooseworx says she doesn't want to make psychological horror and other than some moments in 4, the horror is mostly abandonded 120
