The assault on Rafah has begun

huh this is so easy. it's so easy i might... hm, i don't know... maybe i'll walk in the park a bit. maybe all over the cake too. a cakewalk, if you will. mmmm might even squeeze a lemon a bit. maybe shoot some fish in a barrel, or play like a child. dare i say, i might close my eyes while i do it the next time. you know, it's kind of like pie if you think about it. hell, it's sort of like 1, 2, 3. or A, B, C even. DEFINITELY not rocket science though. anything but that. that's one thing it definitely isn't.

"Nobody would ever say something insensitive about X physical condition like they do Y mental condition" "Nobody would ever be racist towards X like they are towards Y" "No one would ever dare treat X religion like they do Y religion" "X gender/sexuality are never treated the way Y gender/sexuality are"

What if we stopped playing Oppression Olympics. What if we started showing some solidarity. What if we just stuck to describing the problem instead of detouring around to shit on someone we think isn't oppressed enough. What if we stopped making sweeping judgements on what issues other groups of people do or do not face based on vibes.

I declare open season on the porn bots. No bag or size limit.

Just strollin' through my fandom tags with a shotgun and putting down everything in their likes.

I love when the companions say “nice job, rook” when I headshot some poor darkspawn for 2k damage and trivialize a whole fight

there's PACT DICE??? i thought weaverdice was the only bad role-playing game

this is the pact dice masterdoc which contains links to all the other pact dice docs

this is the current main ruleset

but you DO also need to read the weaver dice document because it's "the system that Pact Dice is based on, minus super powers."

step number three is extra important because if you're like me and don't do this and also haven't looked at weaver dice in years, you won't know that you need a d6 until you hit page 17 out of 115 on the pactdice main doc

i was going to post a more detailed rundown about how bewildered and bemused i am by the system, but there's a disclaimer at the top of the main rules doc that explains that Pact Dice is a WIP side project and should be taken as such. [michael bluth i don't know what i expected.gif] ALSO it goes against my personal policy of being a hater in public online for extended periods of time so i shan't

TL;DR if you can follow along with all the charts and tables then i'm very happy for you and hope you enjoy your competitive draft character creation. i personally have used the Practitioner and Other classification docs for ttrpg and fanfic purposes! and i'm not even a Word of God reader! But at the end of the day i struggle to understand why a setting i love for its malleability and subjectivity has such an overwritten and classification-dependent rule system :(

saying “israel has the right to defend itself” is crazy considering israel were the ones who stole palestinian land in the first place and have been continuously committing genocide against the palestinian people for almost a century

My father was a sports journalist/editor for over thirty years, and I’m a good daughter, so as often as possible I find sports headlines I know he will surely hate and put them in the family group chat

[femme-objet]

so when/if i decide to play dark souls II, should i go for "scholar of the first sin" or the regular version? i have access to both

[stupidstupidratcreatures]

Lol. Lmao. can you get fucking real please

[mynameis-a]

i hate how mentioning that you could easily do something bad makes everyone think that you actually do the thing

like no

i don’t do this

i’m not planning to do this

i have no need nor want to do this

i’m just perceptive enough to realize “hey this would be easy to completely fuck up if someone wanted to”

Liberalism and the decay of outright direct violence as a virtue and rite of passage has left a hole for the meek to gorge themselves on a gluttonous coping binge for pacifism. Archaic tribes had score settling figured out, take slaves, raid each other. Etc

My boyfriend who is obsessed with wizardly things has just discovered that the new age witchy paraphernalia on etsy is actually a treasure trove of things that fit his aesthetic. He may not believe a water bottle with an amethyst glued into it will actually do anything but god he thinks it would be cool to have one
