Something terrifying about the way censorship is just straight up happening right now and they're barely trying to pretend that isn't what it is. The UK rolling out the Online Safety Act which forces anyone accessing 'adult' content (including discord, LGBT+ forums, various resources for drug addicts etc.) to share their face and ID with American third party companies, and refusing to debate a repeal in parliament despite 300,000 signatures on their own website to do so. Something fishy going on with Google docs suddenly deleting/restricting content. Itchio and Steam suddenly deleting 18+ games including both porn games and horror games at the behest of Mastercard.

Like. Truly in the past month the censorship is hitting like a truck and we're all just supposed to be fine with it. Like. It's genuinely making me feel sick.

i do appreciate the way that we tumblr users have evolved our language to discuss our feelings related to The Character/The Guy. you used to have to just say he was hot or he was making your ovaries explode or he was a precious cinnamon roll even if he looked bad or was just kind of standing there or whatever. now you can say things like “the creature” or “he looks so sopping wet here” or “i want to chain him to my radiator” like it’s just more inclusive and adaptable to the situation

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

kids deserve so much more respect and it turns out that saying that is a great way to locate the horrible people in any community <3

ah... your secret technique... in normal circumstances, such a bullet would have no effect on me, but you certainly knew that, my rival... and so, cleverly, you accelerated it with a gun

I love going to my local Bath and Body Works because there’s always the same catty twink there and I have about 15-30 minutes of homophobia after I leave

How many different ttrpgs have you played ?

We are counting them all. To answer what has been asked on the Anim ttrpg book club where this poll originated, yes solo and one page games count of course.

The Stipulation : you have to have sat down for at least one session of gameplay

For the sake of this poll, different editions count as different games, if they are major rules or design changes between the different editions.

In the interest of clarity, the neural interface is not in fact designed to give the pilot an orgasm every time they fire the particle projection cannon, and we have no idea why it keeps doing that.
