Oppression never lasts. Eventually, creatures will take what they need, by any means necessary. Oppressors are victims of systems that empower them, following incentives like anyone else. How long it lasts though? We're historically getting better at seeing it coming. Develop communities! In person!

Maybe I should start posting the wack whitepaper I'm reading atm with an inscrutable comment? Not a dig, legit thought, I'm still learning how to social media.

Me young, in a mostly green aloha shirt with red parrots. My smile is slightly smirking, hair is dark brown, I'm very white, background is cloudy purple. Baller school photo.

I used to be so cool, I don't know what happened.

I've gotten lots of blades on planes, but I've never documented it. I like this.

True! But I don't like it, lol. I think my way is more hobbity. Jrrt might've not had stuff like kinnikinnick in his headspace, plus he was a big fan of changing shit as his understanding/vibes changed. Just, having seen tobacco crops, I don't see it in the shire.

Pretty sure if he played a ttrpg he'd go full dwemer and zero sum.

Sometimes. More often it works the other way, though that's not the style at many tables.

I can help with this if you like, it's one of of my superpowers I guess?

I have opinions on smokables! I don't think it's tobacco or marijuana. I imagine a small shrub which one could grow in a pot in the kitchen window, perhaps a bit larger if you gave it space. Leaf is ground and dried before use. Every family has a slightly different cultivar, bred over generations.

I've not recently felt quite so old, poor, and helpless as going into a subway (food) and seeing footlongs for $20.

Investigation show where the duo is replaced by one person. I've never seen this done. Audience accepts that it's one person, but it cuts between two or more... imagine in the car, like true detective. It's not observed by folks in the world. But you get the trope and get to drool over one actor.

A local keepass db is the way to go if you give a fuck. Or just trust your browser to do it, if you wanna feel like you're doing the right thing. Anything is better than using the same and/or shitty passwords everywhere.

Maybe it's the tequila, but this hit me hard. One more body amongst foundations and all that. I'm not crying, shut up.

Pickled eggs I jarred last Friday are coming along really nicely; Lao Gan Ma ones are the best, but the garlic ones are great too. Lemon pepper might take another week or two to really shine, we'll see.

This feels so performative and I hate that, but to trans folks who rightfully are scared shitless, I'm politically and kinetically active. Let me know if there's anything I can do. I can, will, and am fighting.

I might have the most batshit take on this, but maybe ttrpgs (or everything) can become more local? LGS becomes more vital and does printing? Or folks get under the table games from their local writer. Dunno if thats just communal fantasy. I also think all available space should be food gardens.

Something I've never seen in a ttrpg book, but think it would be cool. Bind the pages to a rail, hardcover can slide off the rail and become a GM screen. Also flash memory is dummy cheap now. Including a microsd with the book that has a pdf of the book and also generators and other tools would rule.

Love the edge coloring and ribbon! Would also love to see a chunky "for dummies" sized paperback.

Rosy-cheeked and fair-skinned smiling boy in a dark green polo, buttoned to the top. His hair is black, long in the back, with bangs that end above his eyebrows. The photo is cropped for the privacy of others, and was taken at an opera house in San Francisco in the 90s.

Me at the opera house in San Francisco in the 90s. Real Baratheon vibes here. I miss having long hair! Working on it, but the in-between stage is rough. Using lots of oil to keep it in check.

Indoor selfie of a moustachioed man in gym shorts and a tshirt. The shirt is blue, says "CUNT" at the bottom in all caps, and a couple of crudely illustrated clouds above with a sun wearing sunglasses. The shirt was a result of a jackbox game.

@nohr.se said this was a good idea to post

Had more time to think about it, and I think my take is more that for the settings we think about this occurring in, it mostly didn't emerge from intent. It arose naturally over time, with iteration and time and multiple voices. And the logistics of large projects, over time. Jank creates beauty.

Thought once about someone whose superpower is they know everything that's known (by humans?). So not omniscient? I wonder what a story following such a person would look like. And if they actually gave a fuck and wanted to do good. Idk if I've seen this in comics or ttrpgs. Certainly alters scope.

Until we get a good DBZ movie (or have we gotten one already? im unaware). I'm curious about other properties where the protagonist is both near all-powerful and deeply empathetic but struggles by only being able to be in one place at a time, and also not omniscient.

Shared with a streamer I know (idk if they're on here), hoping you'll get answers. I'm also interested!

Yeah! I think you can seed it, easy. But when morrowind released, the conspiracies didn't exist. It takes time. Feel free to DM me on this btw, I'm down.
