Hey so I did actually make a little primer for any of you interested in learning about hockey :) It covers the basic rules and pretty much goes in order of the bare minimum you'd need to know to understand what's going on. It does not include propaganda for convincing you to watch hockey. There's a final section I'll keep expanding on that's just personal enjoyment, and maybe I'll put propaganda there, but the actual meat focused on explaining how to watch the game is all completed and hopefully actually useful :)!

my sincere and heartfelt thanks to @darkfinch for learning that the unnamed long-haired hitter moreau hired is called "The Frenchman" in the commentaries and near-immediately responding with:

Forgive my asking, but what are you meant to do if you find hair in your food at a restaurant? Send the whole thing back to the kitchen? I'd of course send my food back over something larger or grosser, like a nail clipping, or multiple pieces of hair, but it seems like such a hassle for just one piece.

I’m not putting this in any tags but I really am struggling to put into words my general dissatisfaction in the direction of draggy ahge into words past “it doesn’t seem to trust its audience with complexity anymore.”

But that kind of is it? In origins, awakening, 2 and even the early TTRPG adventures and novels, there was a distinct feeling of grey morality, of difficult and unsolvable issues, even when you could choose the middle road. There were a lot of questions around systemic injustice and interpretation of history and power through the church and other such themes that were given a lot of space for interpretation.

But the fandom made things more black and white and rather than allowing that to be fan interpretation (which is legit, I think it’s fine for fan works to be more trope led and simplify things for fun) it feels like it was really adopted into the franchise? Everything is so over-explained, trope-led and surface level now and it’s a real shame to me.

I love WFA! Opinions on the new/recent chapter/s?

I was so worried at the beginning of the new chapter that we were going the direction of... let's say "comic-accurate Bruce". Thankfully we didn't but. Yeesh.

I think it is a very Bruce Wayne thing that he just tunnel visioned himself into hurting his family so he can "protect them", so he didn't feel too out of character. Not a huge fan of how he just snaps out of it, although I like that it was Jason who causes him to do so. The fact that he was so prepared to fight Cass can also be good and bad I think. On one hand, bro was just prepared to fight his daughter in order to take away her (and the others') last lines of defense. That is some Earth Prime Batman shit. But on the other hand, it can work in that he had to tunnel vision himself so hard to prepare to fight her that the shock of seeing Jason instead basically scared him straight. Either or. Curious to see what Selina has to say to him.

I think this arc has been rather clunky, but overall I like what they're going for. It kinda just comes down to if you want to like it or not. It definitely still has its heartwarming moments to keep me on board.

What's Masks?

love languages don't exist but if they did this exact question would be mine

Masks is a rules lite ttrpg that recreates the "Teenage superhero" genre, stuff like Teen Titans and... uh. Spiderverse? I'm gonna level it's not my favorite genre, which says a lot about how good the game is that I still adore it more than anything else.

It's easily, easily my favorite ttrpg of all time, and it's extremely obvious how much it has influenced the way I approach ttrpgs and the way I write my own games. Every part of the core systems is so fucking smart. The way your stats are in flux as your identity shifts and you grow as a character, the way that the Moment of Truth system literally lets you hijack control of the narrative away from the GM, the way that every character has a natural timer until they have to become an adult and leave the narrative - it genuinely just Works. I adore this game with all my heart.

being a trans guy with an eating disorder fucking sucks. the fact eating disorders are usually only depicted as being something women struggle with is crazy dysphoria inducing. and you can’t fucking win because if you’re skinny than people are constantly fucking demeaning about how small and weak you are and if you’re not than people are also assholes and you have to bind all the time and worry about your fat distribution and thighs and god we just can’t fucking win.

the only thing i want to add about ratgrinder discourse right now is that ruben's the actual most sympathetic one right now.

him talking about lucy very positively 'stuck to her guns' his type being 'anyone who thinks he's cool' have already been mentioned

but when fig messed with his dreams, she only added klck to it iirc? like he was already having nightmares about the forest and lucy

something about the chain of events deeply fucked with him

Against all odds, we have survived. We're taking a university course now, because the government will pay us for it and we do need the money, but it has unfortunately been eroding at our sanity somewhat, and we are learning nothing that we don't already know. We are, however, getting money.

We have somewhat of a backlog on Discord at the moment, as it doesn't have a daily upload limit and also it's easier to stick things on while we are being told things that we already know by people who are phrasing in in ways we find significantly misleading or incorrect (note: we don't use apps for things the vast majority of the time and if we access Tumblr via browser it immediately fucks up our formatting on PC, which can last several months). We will, hopefully, be posting these soon, but all is dependant on if we can actually scare up the time between courses to conglomerate that and fix any formatting errors in thoughts and such.

If that will happen any time soon... good question! Every time that our work practicum teacher opens her mouth, we take points of physical damage, and we don't think she understands the fact that getting back after we walk to a place also involves walking. We've had a lot going on for a while now and very little of it has been good. We're on new meds, and if the gods prove merciful, we won't have to tolerate this particular clown show past March. If there is no mercy to be found, however, we might have to keep doing this until June, in which case you can probably expect the quality of this to take a sharp downturn as the short time we have already spent in this program is already having immediate and catastrophic effects on our mental health.

We do not recommend going to university in any circumstances, but we are unfortunately aware that it may be necessary to get such things as a fancy piece of paper saying you are employable. Additionally, we would tell you to calibrate your expectations for anyone with a degree lower, but apparently what we consider the basic level of knowledge you should know before saying anything on any topic is everyone else's "bachelor degree and a bit", so our estimations on what people think is a high degree of knowledge to have are probably also off.

Any donations go to the Fund To Compensate Us For Having To Correct A Teacher Multiple Times In A Lecture And Then Looking Up Her Sources Later And Discovering They Are Blatant Misinformation. We are very tired. Please do research on things before talking about them. Thank you.

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.

How would you recommend Lost Kingdom, having played a bit now? I happened to grab a rom of the sequel a while ago and have been meaning to give it a go :p

I mean, I haven't played the sequel yet, but I can recommend the original for sure, it's been a lot of fun^^

there's some caveats to that of course, like you have to really like old-age graphics (I stumbled over a review from the time that says this game wasn't even up to game cube standards at the time, which is a plus to me but not to many other people I imagine) and questionable mechanics choices (invisible semi-random encounters -_- I hate those) and extremely strange counterproductive quirks, like if you finish a level, you can never return to it again until you finish the game, there is not necessarily a clear sign as to where the level finish line is exactly (if you read the instructions before starting the level it might be obvious but often it also isn't, I just missed treasure in a level by accident because talking to some knight ended the level), and the most efficient way to like grind for xp or for more cards is to start a level, play through half of it long before it ends, then click the 'abort'-button (comes at no cost) and do that repeatedly, and the levels are small and the game is very linear (your choices boil down to 'continue the main quest' or 'do the 1 current side quest the game offers you), and you have to read a lot (card descriptions are vital to not suddenly spend all your mana on a useless action)

but the underlying formula is a lot of fun, there's a nice combination of using independent creatures you summon and weapon type creatures you use yourself, so you both get the feel of commanding monsters while also getting in on the action yourself, the card designs are all wonderful and feature exactly the kind of cast you would imagine if you played some fromsoft games and the princess girl is super cute... and just like, poring over your card collection pondering what you might be able to transform your creatures into with some extra experience and getting new cards all feels really satisfying, so it does overall easily outweigh all the flaws outlined above

Sometimes I worry I get too self-indulgent w how I portray Alfonse w Sharena, ESP keeping that one FEH comic in mind (which shows Alfonse and Sharena's differing boundaries, and how Alfonse in general "isn't much of a hugger") BUT. In my heart............. I like to imagine....... there are moments where he'll happily allow it. But the Problem Here, is if he gives Sharena an inch, she's taking a mile. She's going to completely smother him. She's dangling off his shoulders and squishing herself against him in ways previously thought impossible. Which may or may not be a contributing factor as to why he's a little apprehensive by default. And it's a feedback loop. Him being standoffish, her trying sooooo hard to respect that when she's STARVING for that physical affection, him allowing it, her squeezing him so hard that if he wasn't in armor he might break a rib. Endless loop. Unique hell. But they do love each other, completely.
