That's so fucking cool!

Ashenheart

Ashenheart is a TTRPG that I helped do some layout and editing for, and I want to shine a spotlight on it.

Firstly, it's got an extremely unique setting. 1940s post-cataclysm adventuring in a world of gods and demons, where hell is an ocean that has flooded out cities, and where people have domesticated giant sea slugs.

Second, it's super easy to learn. The core roll is just a d10 on a chart, modified by a few things you can choose to invoke.

Also, damage advances your character. In the same style as Darkest Dungeon, if you take enough Stress, you can develop new permanent Virtues and and Neuroses that you can invoke on later rolls.

Ashenheart is its designer's first TTRPG, and I'd love to see the community support it. It's a really neat game, and folks taking a risk and making their first game is how we get new ideas in the scene.

You aren't in something like Hololive, you don't need to put on an act while you stream.

This entire type of thing is why I moved away from non-indie Vtubers. They're all just so disturbingly fake, and that fakeness actively detracts from how enjoyable everything is.

Just be totally and unapologetically yourself, Demily (and I know that this is easier said than done). Please.

I'm not really good at not being honest and open. I feel like my blunt, impulsive, spiteful nature will bleed through no matter what. I try to tell myself it doesn't matter as long as people enjoy themselves... I avoid competitive games because I know I get too heated during those...

fucking hell. My deepest sympathies, that's some rough shit to have gone through, and some rough trauma to cope with.

I'm autistic and, despite a rough start with special ed and ABA (special ed was especially bad for me and I was taken out of it early on), never really had anything bad enough happen to where I was actively afraid of being autistic in public.

Oh dont worry, it wasn't transphobes that made me think everything that makes me unusual is something to be ashamed of, it was the trauma of growing up in special education for neurodivergent children

Imo, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to pass, but I'm cis, and I'm not even going to pretend to understand your struggles.

All I can say is that times are tough out there, and that everyone's got their own problems to work through. I hope you find peace one day, and move past any insecurities and problems you have.

I dunno I guess I still have a tendency to think of being trans as like this… incorrectible stain on my person. Like people will automatically like me a little less because of it, let alone want to be my friend or find me attractive, so my first instinct is that I don’t really want them to know… I can’t tell how much most people would care. Maybe they don’t care at all. But I worry that they do.

I don't think I've seen anyone talk about this at all on Tumblr, which is very lax of us all, so I suppose I shall do it myself.

Last week Elon Musk broke European law so badly that the lawyers who will finally put the case to rest have yet to be born.

I'm not exaggerating. Here's the thing: America has terrible data privacy laws. A solid technique for an American website owner in times of financial hardship, such as accidentally buying a loss-leading debt-ridden social media platform to avoid going to gaol, is to take all the data harvested from users and to sell it to third parties for lots of money. It is fun and breezy and lets you pay off at least one lawyer for the month. What a lark.

However, the European Union has an even more fun and breezy law called GDPR.

And the thing is, the EU really, really care about GDPR. Like... they really care. This is not one of those grey area laws like jaywalking where it's basically ignored unless you do it in front of a police officer who is having a midlife crisis because his wife left him and the dishes are piling up and he's down to his third day of wearing the same pants and yesterday a man in the pub laughed at him for getting a football term wrong. This is the sort of law that, if you break it, grey men in grey suits with worryingly little humour will get in touch and unroll terrifyingly long scrolls of legal text and then you are in gaol for the rest of your life. This is a big law. The big one. Big boy law. Do not break.

So, if you're going to be a website owner in times of financial hardship who needs some quick money to cover your many billions of dollars of debt who decides to sell the private data you harvested from the user base, the most important thing you absolutely MUST remember is, you can only use the American data, and never the European.

But.

I mean.

Hypothetically.

If someone were to own an American website in times of financial hardship, such as an accidentally bought loss-leading debt-ridden social media platform to avoid going to gaol... but that someone didn't know the difference between American and European law.

Well then. That person would sell the wrong data.

And if that were to happen, on the scale of a global social media platform, with users ranging from the megalomaniacal Uber Rich to literal world governments...

The ensuing court cases would last for decades, as lawyers began the lawsuits at the richest end of the list, and worked their way down.

As someone who, myself, has attempted suicide in the past, try your best to keep trucking on. Depression and/or whatever else triggered your attempt never truly goes away, it never truly gets easier to handle.

There may be times when it wanes, but like the moon, it always waxes. It will always resurface, it will always be part of you, but it cannot define you.

The battle against the darkness of one's own mind is one that cannot be won decisively.

It is a long campaign against an enemy that never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size the moment you lapse in your guard.

Battle against a foe of such magnitude, that fights against- yet comes from- your very being; Every moment of that darkness you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat than that.

Be well, take care of yourself as much as you can, and remember: You are never alone, and though there is much chaos and disorder in this world, where even those you love may leave you at the drop of a pin, love exists tenfold, and you will always be loved by someone, or something.
