"People have to be worth their titles. Don't you agree, nurse Anya?"

"....You did make it through nursing school, right?"

"Pony Express sure knows how to cut corners, if nothing else"

Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

Fuck Jimmy this line was so intentional, this game is too well thought out that this exchange had to be fucking intentional on another level.

I thought I was overthinking when I was bullshitting about what it would take to keep Curly alive post crash and lol. Lmfao. I am over thinking probably but Anya deserves more so yeet.

Jimmy probably dragged him out, crispy and mangled. Probably fat eyed and begging Anya to do something. She had to stop major arterial bleeds, perform rudimentary amputations WITH ALL FOUR EXTREMITIES (I can't tell exactly where the removal starts but it looks like partial removal of long bone in his right/both legs which is risky in the best, sterile conditions with a full and trained team), probably deal with adhesion, definitely had to deal with debridement.

This is assuming Curly wasn't in the worst condition during the immediate crash and response. Never mind if major blood loss was ticking the clock. That'd also be needing to stabilize BP, never mind if he'd need transfusion. Never mind if they had blood for the crew, transfusion kit, or if that shit was literal poke n pray.

This is all on a nurse btw, one who probably only dealt with GP settings. Oh, and Jimmy's comment about cutting corners was meant to be a dickhead comment to her but its true. They didnt intend to overshoot how much food would be needed for their crew's journey gone well. I cannot imagine what emergency kits they didnt have or what meds they didn't include to get Curly stable, to keep Curly stable, and then to ensure his infection risk from full body burns, injuries, and amputation didn't win in the end. Its a genuine miracle he didn't die, and if Anya is just familiar with GP settings she was no lesser than a god performing said miracle.

Jimmy probably watched her do this, probably was yelling at her that she wasn't doing it well enough (while he was barely a help and took orders from her), and still makes that shit ass comment.

THE WAY HE SO NATURALLY LETS MIAOMIAO FALL INTO HIS ARMS!!!! AND THAT DOTING EXASPERATED TONE I AM IN LOVE

it's interesting to see thg having a renaissance bc i was 12 when i read the first book, and found rue to be the character i could most relate to, given that she was my age. katniss felt like a cool older sister that i looked up to. now i'm 22 and reading the series is a completely different experience, katniss is a child and rue is a baby and the whole thing is so much more devastating. so fucked up how getting older recontextualises shit.

not a huge fan of posts that go "you can't criticize veilguard for having a dumb thing because previous games did a similar dumb thing too!"

like, why not? just because a similar dumb thing was present in previous installments doesn't make it less dumb in the new game. we can still criticize it for being dumb. in fact, previous games have been criticized for this dumb thing many times way back when, so why stop now?

maybe if we criticize it enough, the devs will finally make an effort to either write in a better, less dumb way, or avoid ideas and concepts that they know they can't write & implement without stretching the player's suspension of disbelief paper thin in the first place. no one is holding a gun to their heads to do it in this one particular way, they can just write something else.

"it doesn't have to make sense, it's a video game" yeah, a video game with dumb writing. good video games make an effort to avoid dumb writing as much as possible. and we're not criticizing these games because we're haters or don't understand video games, we criticize them because we want them to be of better quality. we deserve what we tolerate etc etc

I wish more people would weigh out the demand of how "realistic" something is regarding horror media thats supposed to be around a certain time era or within certain limitations with the fact that if it WERE 100% accurate to what it's trying to represent, it'd probably be lame as hell.

i was going a little off about how well the squid game 2 narrative is put together as an act 2 of your classic act 1: establish, act 2: deconstruct, act 3: destroy (either the system or the players) dystopia narrative (in this case the act is a season but e.g. in the hunger games it was books) but unfortunately i was with my parents and cheering when thanos got chin stabbed and to defend (?) myself i said "i promise im not enjoying this as much as it seems like i am. im actually enjoying it more"

[loki-zen]

I'm kinda surprised musical theatre (or "showtunes") isn't included in the cliche about rap and country tbh. I do think it is similarly reviled and dismissed by the average normie.

[dirtyoldmanhole]

it's a little messy but i absolutely love this shot of gunter finger-fucking corrin's mouth to shut her moans up lmao

[x-snickersnap-x]

[stealingpotatoes]

hii u convinced me to play jedi fallen order and survivor a few months back n i finally finished both games !!

I went into the games knowing nothing about them other than what u had in ur drawings and so i was incredibly blind playing and that lowkey made it better :)

i also assumed that Cere was gonna betray everyone or turn evil bc i never saw her in ur TL4J au (now i know why she isnt which is great 🙃👍)

overall 10/10 that was awesome n i'm so glad i decided to play them !!

ah i'm so glad you enjoyed them, they're SUCH good games!!!!! the stories are amazing even when you know the twists but MY GOD do those moments hit hard when you don't know they're coming, you rlly played it the best way

People are really out there making up reasons to dislike Veilguard. Most recent take is now that infiltrating the cult mission was ridiculous.

It’s like some of y’all have forgotten how to have fun. Tell you what - you all complainers don’t even deserve Dragon Age 2 and the squad of apostate mages walking around Kirkwall.

[kiwiaok]

I seriously need everyone who hasn’t done that already to go and read this fic. immediately.

The Blacked Out Skill n Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy

Many RPGs incorporate elements of mystery and intrigue, but Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy puts it right on the character sheet!

The Blacked Out skill is one of the 19 core stats that all investigators have in Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, but the difference is, it’s blacked out.

[Here it is as seen in the rulebook currently, and right below, the Technology skill so you know what a normal skill description looks like.]

Internally, this is referred to as “the blacked out skill” or “the [redacted] skill” as it’s been often coined by playtesters and fans.

During character creation when a player asks the GM “what does this skill do”, the spiel is that it’s a real stat that you can put points into or take points out of, but you don’t know what it does. If your character is the type of person to invest a bunch of points into a mysterious unknown skill, then do so. If they are the type to take points out of a mysterious unknown skill, then do so. You won’t know if you made the right choice until it comes up during play.

I know what it does, but you don’t. You’ll have to buy the rulebook to find out. You can get the prerelease version, along with a ton of other stuff, for just $5 on our patreon right now.

You can also visit our website to find the link to download the free demo version of the rulebook along with a free starter adventure module, and find the invite link to our TTRPG Book Club discord server where everyone nominates indie TTRPGs, votes on what to play, reads&plays them, and discusses!
