It's nice to have a My Unit in Fire Emblem again. And damn I love the aesthetics. Byleth was an awkward cross with most of the negatives of Avatar and Lord and few of the positives, kind of like an inverse Robin who managed to sweetspot the good stuff. (Fortunately 3H was a great game anyway)

it really bothers me that they call this "blue eyes white dragon" ALMOST EVERYTHING IS BLUE. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS ARE WHITE.

Well, everyone was dead because of him. Couldn’t argue with that. Well, he had to argue with it, given everything. He just wasn’t on *legal* grounds to do so. #wipsnips

I've finally managed to get rid of all the flies that were caused by my housemate forgetting to clean her cats' litterboxes. I just went through everything I could with 409 for weeks on end. Was surveying my work proudly, walked back into my room, saw a mouse. FIVE CATS IN THE HOUSE, AND A MOUSE

What about her future? What about how hard she worked to be there? What is to become of her life now? What process of justice could possibly right these wrongs? And how much more will she lose in the process of trying to get it? How much more of this are we all supposed to tolerate?

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

It’s also common for prosecutors not to comment on open cases. This POS is tainting the minds of future jurors by demolishing Jane’s credibility before he even starts reviewing. He still doesn’t want to prosecute this.

Smash Bros. is one of the very few game series where a stage's number of bright and cheerful graphics is inversely proportional to how freaking lethal it is to simply exist there if there was ever a Smash stage set in a literal nursery it would have an extinction event every 10 seconds.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

The closest I get to that "daydreaming about the Roman Empire" meme is that I'll be doing something and randomly be thunderbolted with the realization that Romans are italians as if this were not an incredible trivial fact that was made unavoidably obvious to me as a 6-year-old by Little Caesar's.

"try being 70% as good as what you're trying to hybridize" has been a stupidly efficient starting point value for playtesting in basically every gaming project I've ever done 70% is just a good number ~sqrt 50% +100% is almost its reciprocal almost avg of 100% and 50% almost 2/3

a fair point but also: plans are useless. planning is *essential*. there's a noticeable gulf between properties that don't do serious planning at all and properties that do make an effort and then change under new information

Tragically, they both develop a gluten intolerance and realize they can no longer safely continue in their careers. Instead, they sell all their secret recipes, buy a small farm in Italy and make small-press cheeses. This gives them more time together, staying still, learning “Less is-A-mour”

The era of the CRT almost feels like a fever dream in retrospect.

I've become a pretty big fan of firearms in TTRPGs for a variety of reasons, and I think it's very good that there's been a push to let people know, historically, that firearms are much older than people think. History is good to spread.

1976's "Network" turns 50 this year. The pitch black satire of television always felt a little over the top, despite its star-studded cast's performances. But then social media came along and validated everything this movie warned us about--and more. We're all mad as hell now.

“Network” at 50: Now We’re All Mad as Hell

Paddy Chayefsky’s take on television captured the Long 1970s—and anticipated the rise of social media.
