What happens in soccer when the referee gives you a red card? Can the player pull out the uno reverse card? Are there any rules dealing with this situation?
thanks for eliciting a chuckle out of me in these dark times anon😭😭😭😭
the red card is the highest distinction a player can get during a game of FOOTBALL. it is similar to what the americans call a purple heart i believe. it means the player slayed so much that he actually has to be eliminated from the field in order to keep the game fair otherwise he would transcend to a higher level of consciousness and overpower everyone else in a mighty display of terror and violence.
for this reason he is not even allowed to go back to the bench. he has to move his still-earthly body immediately back to the changing rooms and wait out the rest of the game there. scientists believe that by isolating him from the roar of the crowds he will become grounded again, re-tether himself to his human form and prevent ,,, The Ascent
#my poor dani carvajal had to be sent off bc he served too much cunt:(:(:(:(#or rather..........Künt#ask#anon#football drama!!#germany nt#spain nt#euro 2024#no but in short it means they whacked some poor victim too hard and have to leave the field of play forcing their team#to play with 1 less player#you can either get 1 straight red card or 2 yellow cards which amounts to a red card and you're out#the master of yellow/red cards was one zany little guy named sergio ramos#(1.84m precisely)#he was what jaime might call An Artist. only that he painted with blood#when i felt like this world was getting too much to bear i would go on youtube and search compilations of him#best fouls tackles and red cards. cheered me rightup#pepe was also a complete monster in his youth#terrible ofc. tsk. but good times

the coolest kids in forgotten valley!!☆
(…it seems there may have been a stretch of time where rock and lumina were the only kids in forgotten valley…🥲)
poseref
#in the remake hugh and the player’s kid are the same number of years apart#so i can see them having very similar conversations n friendship#surely these two kids will grow up well adjusted and they will have no lasting effects from this kind of isolation. they will be fine#i have been thinking a lot about what their childhoods were like. i want to protect both of them#everyone who has anything to say about them as kids says that both of them were not well behaved children at all#tei says rock was rambunctious and energetic and hard to handle. sebastian says lumina was less than amenable#rock says he was bored to death when he first came here and lumina asks you not to tell romana that she’s lonely#lumina also hated wearing dresses so. she is very mad and ready to bite people maybe#sos awl#bokumono#my art#rock tumbling (sos)#harvest moon#story of seasons#story of seasons a wonderful life#bokujou monogatari#i like to imagine a au where pony and cecilia come to visit their family’s respective farms#so these two can have more friends ;w;#i am always thinking about how they were both severed from their families and taken in by someone else at a young age to live in nowhere#and they are both not exactly enthused about following the path laid out for them#headcanon ⚠️ i wonder if rock’s moving out on his own happened when he was a teenager. he was extremely confident everything would work out#anyway he got fired from every job ever and after many years came crawling back. and he came crawling back blond#at the time of chapter 1 lumina is baffled by the state of the guy she grew up with. why is he using dated slang and wearing disco costume#she is also kind of mad at him for having been gone for so long#hc rock probably had more freedom as a kid than lumina did which probably annoyed her#once again takakura retrieves a small rock from the goddess pond and he’s covered in poison ivy bee stings etc. no remorse#lumina from her window on the hill feels somehow jealous of these misadventures#lumina mentions in her heart event that she doesn’t often visit the beach because her skin burns easily#meanwhile rock was probably playing outside always. if his kid is any indication#idk i like thinking about the history of this extremely small village

who runs a one-shot at first level? it’s a one-shot. let me do more than one thing before needing to take a nap. and don’t send options for cool subclasses in the setting you’re choosing if some people won’t even have access to that because they’d get it at level 3!
#first level is like. fine for a campaign. but if i’m doing a one shot i want more than three abilities#this is just annoying bc like. i haven’t played in forever i don’t full time play with this group anymore and this is what i get for options#obviously i don’t mean who in general i’m wondering for the purposes of my fm who knows her players can play#and if you want simplicity two and three are. right there. you can do like two more things at level 2 than 1#and you feel less like you’re gonna eat shit if you get breathed on wrong#i just need to rant about this sorry#alli plays dnd

ive dreamed the bothosters coming back with even worse bots twice now and every time i woke up like slightly annoyed before realizing some of the bigger bothosters and cheaters have been banned and every effort theyve made has been foiled by Valve and theyve yet to reverse engineer whatever it is Valve is using to gut them with and i start looking like this
#fixttf2#savetf2#tf2#hopefully valve is gonna continue with this effort beyond the summer update but you never know lol#they need to fix CS2 as well like do you guys know how FUCKED that game is#i dont play it but the game is less than a year old and has cheaters and bots infesting it tf2 style#and its unforgivable. tf2 is 17 yrs old and the source engine code got leaked#but they essentially forced the players to go from csgo to cs2 and took the economy with them#and the game lacks content and has been stuck in season 1 for 9 months#while cheaters and bots ruin the fuck outta the game#but they havent lifted a finger to fix it#instead theyre making a new game that already has cheaters in the beta test......... lol#so genuinely valve has a lot to fix and answer for and maintain#if they want to amend the absolute idiocy theyve kept up for so long

bigb im noticing from both secret life and last life is VERY quick to pull out a weapon, he often shifts around a lot and checks the perimeter even if he should theoretically not be suspicious, he saw etho sneaking in and when speaking to etho didnt turn his back on him and shifted around so he could always see etho n the two back up, he is very observant but loves to cry wolf and has no shame if he makes a mistake he still keeps looking even if the others around him dont believe him? hes actually a very paranoid and not easily trusting person if u watch his pov hes always ready for the shoe to drop and tends to be on high alert even in situations his allies r relaxed. he just has SUCH a causal and shameless demeanur its so insane to me how seamlessly he can pull out a sword or scan the surroundings w/out ANYONE even nothcing bc he does it so smoothly u dont realzie he hasnt let u out of his sight yet. what the fuck
#'scott is a strategic player who deosnt trust his allies' SCOTT SMAJOR IS UR BITTER EXE BIGB IS THE ONE U NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR#the amount of times he just casually threatens ppl w/out even the person noticing is insane hes so...#watching his exchange w skizz then etho was insane he was ready for that 3 v 1 he wasnt playing games#hes so charismatic in such a soothing way unlike the slickness of scar u TRUST bigb not to be insane#little do U know his ass wouldnt trust u if his life depended on it 😭#hes SUCH a dishonest character but the WAY he lies makes u assume he isnt doing it on purpose NO HE IS#HE JUST LOVES PLAYING THE FOOL#AND IS SO GOOD AT GETTING PPL TO ELT THEIR GUARDS DOWN#actually im getting so insane about bigb#bigbst4tz2#life series#last life smp#mainly that but he does the same shit in secret#this isnt new behavior hes just less subtle in secret#which...is ironic

real talk: i’m preparing to run a vtm v20 chronicle for a group of friends, and i want to show off all the cool things the different clans have to offer at some point.
the only snag with that is the fact there is A Lot of racism. A Lot.
fellow storytellers, players, & general enthusiasts — how have y’all dealt w/ that in your chronicles and characters? especially wrt the banu haqim, ravnos, etc…
#just curious tbh#dont even get me started on all the shit in kote either 💀#i’m less worried about the ableism that can come up w/ malkavians — one of my players is gonna play one and we’ve talked it out.#i could just make all the clans more cosmopolitan#& in fairness many of them very easily can be#but it also feels like 1 of those things where like… the solution to a racist black character is not to make them white#its to . make a Not Racist black character#vtm#vtm v20#racism#vampire the masquerade#mine#banu haqim#ravnos

dude with the stink i saw everyone in the comments throwing about cyrus's death i thought the ruling on chromatic orb was what killed him. but it wasn't, it was getting attacked by the giant fucking spider afterwards. and like you can make the argument that "well if the chromatic orb hadn't hit he wouldn't have gone down" like y'all. the party was up against a literal god. "it was unfair blah blah blah" yeah that's the point. when mortals tangle with the gods they lose. the DM had so many tools at her disposal to get the outcome she wanted, one stray hit did not make a difference.
#cr3#like yeah its not the way cr is normally run#but like#it's meant to be a small breather to parallel the journey bh is going through atm#and underscore the themes of the larger campaign#sometimes. dnd isn't fair. and that's the point.#multiple dms in cr history have put the party in unwinnable scenarios but its suddenly a problem#“chromatic orb doesn't work that way” we literally just finished a whole arc where trying to cast sending caused psychic damage#show me in the PHB where it says that's how sending works#like idk it just feels like complaining abt every minor unfair ruling during the crownkeepers interlude is massively missing#1. the main theme of the entire campaign#2. the reason that interlude even happened in the first place#ppl are like “well why play dnd at all then”#because its fun and it would be silly to make everyone learn a new system for 3 hours of game time#because if the players just sat there and narrated the whole thing people wouldn't be any less pissed off#the fact that people think the DM was being unnecessarily adversarial even though other DMs have ALSO gotten playfully mean at times#like hm i wonder why it's suddenly a problem now#im not using names bc i dont want ppl to find this in the tags

Oh De Minaur won, he seems back in shape and moreover on the run for the finals, i'm glad (even if i have to admit i still was secretly kind of sort of root for Draper, but merely because people keep talking about Dimitrov in the finals and i still believe it's a chimera but i keep being a fool hoping a miracle might happen, and for that ofc it would help if the other players competing for the last spots don't get many results, even if i like Alex and i'd wish for him the finals as well and i kept apologizing to him for wishing him to lose this match, i hope he'll forgive me lmao 🙏🤣)
In the meantime wtf Alcaraz is playing (or more like what Humbert is playing because i know that it's Alex's nickname but tonight i would call hugo "the demon", he's definitely on fire)
#i wonder#tennis#how are you supposed to come back to n.1 if you keep suffering like this carlos?!#i could blame the fact that he's tired but then i'd have to share an opinion#about the fact that you still went to play that goddawful exhibition#look i don't care about the reasons i just hope it's the end of the year#and he'll be able to rest properly and focus more next year#yeah i may be the only italian who doesn't care for sinner let alone for him to be n.1#i'd rather have alcaraz i like more his playing style what can i say 🤷♀️#actually i'd rather have other players on the top but let's be realistic 😅#my goodness this first set was something for alcaraz da fuck 💀#as for dimitrov i'll probably have to hope he'll get at least ninth in the ranking#and hoping that djokovic won't attend since he seems to consider not to#i wish lol i couldn't care less i have never liked him so the less i see him the better

It kind of pisses me off how paleo pines keeps advertising their new paid DLC available for pre-order but they still haven't. Said what the DLC is. Like what is in this. What do they want us to pay for. But i guess there's no time for that when they can plug their stupid makeship plush #4 teaser trailer 185772847 more times instead
#paleo pines#and i did like this game a fair amount its just#it feels so soulless esp after playing fields of mistria#they had 4 or 5 main NPCs to talk to and none of them are memorable in any way#HOW DO U FUCK THAT UP#LESS THAN 10 NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS AND THEY'RE ALL SO DISINTERESTING#fields of mistria has been in early access for a month and it has so much more depth than paleo pines in 1 year of release

Sorry I've been kinda inactive here lately, been playing a remake of a childhood fav game of mine. Have some photos of my farm family.
#nessie plays vidya gayms#story of seasons#awl remake#sos awl#story of seasons a wonderful life#nami#named the daughter reina#she's into academics#also never married nami until this game. I really like her glow up in the remake#and I didn't want her to leave the valley so I put a ring on it#also might be just me but her dialogue seems less rude in the remake#she's written more like the detached outsider she is#she warms up a lot more to the player and the valley in general after chapter 1

im genuinely going to be INSUFFERABLE when chapters 3 and 4 come out like you have no idea.
#i cannot BELIEVE i've had the life-threatening deltarune illness for nearly 3 YEARS at this point. thats fucking insane#anyways im literally never gonna shut up about it. you have no idea. and *I* have no idea honestly. this will be the first time im#playing new deltarune content with ALLLLLLLL of this shit in mind. i played chp 2 as someone who was obsessed w chp 1 in middle school#on a very surface level. and ofc we had so much less then that the theory landscape was COMPLETELY different so even if i had#been aware of that side of things as a kid it wouldnt have made much of a difference probably. but these chapters will be an#ENTIRELY different experience that i am in NO way prepared for. like ive NEVER been invested in something like i am in deltarune#and ive never been SO deep in a theory community like i am in deltarune's. but that only rlly happened after chp 2#the sweepstakes was like a little taste of whats to come. but 3&4 will be a whole new experience that might genuinely kill me i think#im gonna take 80 years to get through them and even then im still gonna miss a billion things on my playthrough#me playing chp 2 like WAHHHH DELTARUNE THIS IS SO FUN vs me playing the new chapters completely locked in eyes 1 inch from the screen#scrutinizing every single pixel and reading into every word of dialogue for 30 minutes per line#im very scared about how my decision making's gonna go though. cuz these will be the first chapters where im playing them aware of#the player-kris distinction. before i could just chill and choose whatever i want but now i fear im just gonna get stunlocked#for sure im going to spend hours agonizing over which thing to choose trying to determine what i think kris would do. even tho#it probably doesnt matter. anyways i need to stop escaping to tumblr and finish this lets play#im doing the thing where i get too insane over the hyperfixation and have to stop interacting with it bcuz im going too crazy#serena.txt

/obey me! vent/
#jessamine rambles#before i start. pls keep in mind that this is fully subjective and could just be a 'me' problem. i just want to get this off my chest#ngl i've been contemplating on whether i want to stop playing obey me. both the og game and nightbringer#idk i've been playing the game since its first month and while it's given me a lot of joy + memories + chances to befriend other ppl. i'm#pretty burned out. not to mention TIRED of my consistent disappointment with the game#the main story.....where do i start?? i actually enjoyed s1-s3 despite my qualms with the fillers and pacing but s4 disappointed me. i was#rlly looking forward to simeon's storyline and the new characters but ultimately. the devs tried to squeeze too many things into one season#not to mention that there is a notable difference in how the characters are written. i.e. beel's hunger and asmo's beauty#being watered down to running gags instead of the complexities explored in the old dg stories and chara songs#gameplay-wise. i was there when the devs raised the rewards price of the event urs and removed the demon ssrs completely#but nightbringer was the last straw for me. the amount of time it takes to grind for two games. knowing that the og app has essentially bee#abandoned by the devs?? not to mention that while the plot is interesting. i haven't touched the main story ever since the coma arc#i will give credit to the devs for improving the event stories by choosing to focus on 1-2 demons. but it has always felt like a quantity >#quality situation. esp if i were to compare it to my other fandoms#it also doesn't help that i'm currently at a point of my life where i'm questioning if i could use my time on obm for better things#seeing how the game is giving me less reasons to believe it is worth my time#idk this may also be a short-term phase since i DID get back into twst after a long hiatus and i recently got into whb#which btw has felt like a breath of fresh air despite my frustrations with the bugs and current gacha#but yeahhhh........as much as i love the obm characters and fanfics. i'm just tired#at this point i feel like the only reason why i still play the game is due to the nostalgia and so i don't waste the years of grinding#aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#this is what i get for being the type of player who only plays a few games so they can rlly dedicate their time and passion to it#that's all

one of the things that's insane to me about terraria is it's lack of online prescence. it's the 10th best selling video game of all time. there's like 3 people who make videos about it. it's been around for 13 years. there's not even 400 fics tagged as terraria on ao3. 45 million people have played it. there are maybe 4 pieces of fanart somwhere if you really dig for them. and the crazy part is I totally agree. I have never wanted to create about terraria. I have rarely if ever wanted to consume content about terraria. this is a game I have a disgusting amount of hours in and I would give a very high rating of and I have never once gone feral over it like I have with other things I consume. terraria is this ball of awesomeness of a game mixed with this complete fucking undecipherable void of a prescence and i think it's insane
#if we're actually thinking about why though#1) the complete lack of story/worldbuilding/setting/ heavily discourages any attempt of a narrative#it would be like trying to write a captivating story about minecraft steve in minecraft block world#'but minecraft has so many stories thought up in it! like [insert minecraft smp]'#2) yes but consider that minecraft's relatively short - and frankly unfulfilling - progression#means that after you beat minecraft the only thing left to do is to create - either with yourself or other people#which incidentally is also why minecraft servers are such a big thing - becuase of that natural steer into playing with other ppl#however (as anyone who's tried to beat it knows) terraria has a LOT of progression - and it's all built to be extremly satisfying progress#which means when you beat terraria. you can beat it again! in any one of 2098456 ways you choose all of which give you a unique playthrough#incidentally this is also why in my experience servers are so much less of a thing in terraria#while the modding scene is sososo much bigger and relevant - tapping into that 'replay the thing but DIFFERENT' again type of replayability#I'm comparing terraria and minecraft btw because both are sandbox games but they have wildly different prescences#and often times people will write minecraft having more content down as 2d/terraria being more limiting creatively#but actually some of the prettiest builds in a videogame I've seen were in 2d/terraria#I think there's a more fundamental difference at play there#in the type of replayability that mc and terraria offer#one kind of forces you to create or play with others if you want more out of it#while the other offers this kind of seemingly endless well of challenges that never steers you in that co-op/creative direction#both are great in their own right#but it means that minecraft has more content 'staying power' as it is a space designed first and foremost to steer players into creating#and also most importantly - cooperating and playing with others to creat together#while terraria more often focuses on that core gameplay experience/challenge#while never steering/forcing players into that creating/co-opting space#unless they intentionally seek out that experience for themselves#see - the terraria builder community (not massive last time I checked) and server players (I don't think they exist)#also 3) eye of cthullu is stupid hard to draw in 3d without doubling over laughing#like 👁️ <- oh man look who's floating ominously!! he sure is gonna getchu!!#^ I ramble about things#also i still think terraria is better than minecraft. for the record

Oh! This I can help with. Trying to communicate with other people in your mind results in zoning out, haha. Were you two talking about anything?
Oh, I don't remember.
It's quieter now, so I think I can try to explain this...? It's less like Gordon and Benrey are fighting with each other and more like... emotional.
Like. Uh. I feel what they feel. But I don't think I can hear them talking...?
...Maybe?
I'm still not sure. But we'll figure it out.
#ooc: i hope this makes some semblance of sense gdhsj#trying to explain this in-character while also being clear while also not just infodumping is really difficult so lemme just clarify rq#the way i see it is less like gordon and benrey are both actively talking to each other and more like berdey's trains of thought#kinda sound like them. and that doesnt happen often either#usually it's moreso that berdey can feel what they're both feeling#like if you ask berdey what benrey thinks of heavenly sword berdey would infodump about how awesome it is#but then if you ask berdey what gordon thinks of it they'd have no idea#and if you ask berdey what HE thinks of heavenly sword berdey would get both the 'ITS THE BEST EVER' and 'idk i havent played it'#emotions and they would conflict with each other#so as a result berdey would say 'i like it' or something#does that make sense? I hope so fgsdhj#st au#stuck together au#asking player#part 1

tears of the kingdom could have been so good if it were built around like, its story or its characters instead of being a clunky shell to show off the mechanic no one asked for that it forces you to use
#*#text#totk#mechanics#i had fun scuttling around in the depths for a while but that got old eventually. for obvious reasons#what i liked about zelda games was always the atmosphere and character interactions#like. one of my favorite games is twilight princess. which is. deeply unserious in many ways#bit it COMMITTED to its setting and what the writers went ham making sure#that it was still full of whimsy and affection.#totk doesn't have that. the characters are all 1) instruction manuals or 2) vehicles for what small and disparate semblances of plot#survived whatever disaster must have happened in development that made them cannibalize several different ideas#and stick them into the shell for the fucking. arm#totk plays like a gallery or again just an engine for the building thing.#it's pretty. the music is good. the building thing is well made. but as a zelda game totk Fucking Tanks#i HATE overinvolved mechanics. i HATE having to stop and rely on a Whole Process that i have to keep stocked#to get anything done. i've always liked loz again bc of characters and whimsy but also bc it's always been mechanically vert streamlined#and accessible to someone like me who is disabled and finds fiddling EXTREMELY tedious#you have one required tool per dungeon and they're QUICK they're SIMPLE they're A GOOD TIME#totk. to me. is just clunky and has no redeeming qualities outside of again being pretty and still sort of nominally letting you run around#collecting things. some of the side quests were cute. but even then the characters were very.#THE THING ABOUT ZELDA GAMES IS THAT IM used TO THEM BEING ABOUT. NOT JUST THE FUNCTION!!!!!!#there were things— many of them! sometimes most of them even!!!— there just for fun. again almost especially The Characters#totk is so goddamn UTILITARIAN on all levels ITS. CLUNKY and BORING i don't WANT to have to do 30 things just so i can do something else.#hey nintendo. if you have to force people to play your game. like if you specifically have an ''open'' game and then subsequently have to#manufacturer MANY blocks and caveats to the idea of ''do whatever have fun!!'' so that it's''but only how WE want you to''. maybe thats bad.#maybe you've done a bad job. if again. you have to FORCE players to go about things in the way and order that you want. it's no fun.#like even zelda games where you have less options and linear progression feel less restrictive bc like. they don't fucking punish you.#for. playing the game. you just can't do things. totk really punishes you for going off script. which like. why even do that.#anyway. this is all probably incoherent. i'm right tho.#wow there are so many typos. pretend there are not <3

you guys know
lore drops!!!! there's a lot of possibilities to make stuffs work with nia with the new information i have
the first idea is to say that nia's original backstory did happen separate from ari. meaning that she technically did have a childhood and the past was just altered to make it possible, along with becoming an interceptor, but got super unlucky with bio parents. basically the time person added a new character to the timeline with a backstory and had the other main characters rest in her subconscious while nia lived her life.
the second idea is that the backstories are one in the same, so it happened to ari (and axel) and nia suffered the same effects and such under the illusion it was her memory and hers only. fun fact, i originally imagined nia having two other siblings, one specifically being a brother she was close to. that's ironic lmao
the third, ari was simply reborn much earlier into nia and is revived as a newborn instead of a 17 year old, and ari is just a past life, which also is closest to canon while also not changing as much. here the only thing that was altered in the past was the interceptor stuff, plus getting nearby people in the area to discover baby nia, and it was just by chance that nia got terrible parents. (they weren't terrible in the beginning. things just went on a downward spiral as she got older.)
#sleepy rambles#sleepy plays: rejuvenation#trying my best to take advantage of lack of information too#no information is usually irritating to me#but for backstories of a character based in a game with a plot it gives me lots of wiggle room#i get to go more crazy with less information#reborn and so far desolation has little to no established background for the player character so i just went wild#went crazier on nia too but i gotta adapt#would love to hear opinions on the ideas or even new ones if you guys have any!!#i don't wanna reveal too much detail of what happened with said bio parents#i really liked the idea of simply leaving it up for interpretation and speculation for the reader whenever i write nia#tbf i'm not very good at hiding stuff like that and if it's relevant i talk a little about it but nothing too deep yk?#also just realizing 1 and 3 are very similar#oc: nia 🎆
