the witch in class

Aria and Cass trying to figure out what's wrong with the Regent's Brilliance. Aria is standing on Cass' hips and they're both bent over, pointing at different parts of the mech's engine/guts.

too broke to afford a mechanic, gotta do all the repairs themselves #friendsatthetable #counterweight

watched all of hacks over the weekend and really enjoyed it but im specifically still thinking about that one joke where they got lost in the woods and instead of "help" would yell "why are you doing this to me, i dont even know you"

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

instead of picking up one of the literal hundreds of options out there

yeah, the most infuriating thing to me will always be the hegemony d&d has established over populsr ttrpg play because it has convinced people that it's easier to invest time into modding the fantasy racism wargame system to fit anything from a court intrigue drama to a scifi horror shooter campaign

"once you have played any other ttrpg you will never stop wanting to beat wotc with hammers" etcetc

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

lmaoooo, i did nicely explain what blades and fitd are but this is simply how things go 99% of the time, at least this person didnt say *only* d&d, now that i have no qualms being mean about lol

i dont think im wrong abt that one tho, if you are mid 30s with an uncritical view of that show we are simply too different as people

maybe im being too mean and picky cause i did unmatch someone the other week for bringing up ofmd as one of their favorite shows while asking me about black sails

like, i said blades, i wasnt even trying to be pretentious with it, it's super popular!!!

> someone has "i love ttrpgs" in their dating profile
> look at their profile and silently wonder if they actually mean a variety of ttrpgs or just d&d et al.
> they say "oh you love ttrpgs too, what's your fave?"
> tell them i like fitd games
> "what's that game about, i only know d&d et al."

i will break the curse

got asked to review for a journal i like which is exciting but their submission system is different than the ones ive used before and it actually assigns you a number and im reviewer #2

You're either frolicking in this field with me Or You're frolicking in this field against me

It's been fascinating to see how quickly a number of academics have concluded that using a program to generate a lit review is good enough, as if writing the lit review is merely a chore and not part of the process of building expertise in the subject.

A black linework embroidery of a woman from behind, standing in a very pathetic fighting stance (if it can even be called that). The text reads "get ready"

Embroidery of a chart labeled "states" that depicts the character's status in a video game. There are little image icons such as a bed, a heart, a smiley face, a pill, and a fork and knife. Each icon has a bar beside it that is either red, yellow, or green depending on the status.

A black linework embroidery of an electric keyboard. The text reads "now it is not necessary"

All three pieces hanging together on a wall

If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.
