When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Shit like this for example. Art is *already* free, what will actually also destroy art is allowing LLM's to run amok and drowns out any incentive anyone might have to try and learn how to do art the hard way. This is such flaming horseshit.

β€˜We can think of these crisis points as thin places, a concept from Celtic folklore where the border between worlds is most porous, where the contradictions of ideology become so apparent that weird fictions of seeing through the illusion of realityβ€”metaphorically speakingβ€”are increasingly rampant’

A modified screenshot from Hellbound: Hellraiser II. A man without skin, just glistening muscle and blood, leaning against a cinder block wall he’s left a red smear on as he points to the words he’s written on the wall in his own blood next to him: β€˜Maybe it will happen today’. Sorry if this one’s too gross. These are free.

ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans.
You lose again Donnie.

A federal judge ruled on May 1, 2025, that the Trump administration's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1798 to remove alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the country is unlawful.

"The President cannot summarily declare that a foreign nation or government has threatened or perpetrated an invasion or predatory incursion of the United States, followed by the identification of the alien enemies subject to detention or removal.

"The Proclamation makes no reference to and in no manner suggests that a threat exists of an organized, armed group of individuals entering the United States at the direction of Venezuela to conquer the country or assume control over a portion of the nation. Thus, the Proclamation's language cannot be read as describing conduct that falls within the meaning of 'invasion' for purposes of the AEA.

"Allowing the President to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch's authority under the AEA, and would strip the courts of their traditional role of interpreting Congressional statutes to determine whether a government official has exceeded the statute's scope. The law does not support such a position."

It turns out playing a Hex+ Eldritch Blast spamming warlock is the key to making BG3 more enjoyable. Just like in regular D&D if you choose to play as a martial class you’re going to have a horrible time continuously missing attacks that have +90% success rates

Feels like too much time is spent crossing empty space, if you get killed by something stupid it takes longer to find a new match than any tdm lobby ive ever experienced. I just like to load in and play with the guns I find fun asap. Feels more like a looter shooter/Rust hybrid than fps tdm

HEART OF THE CONQUEROR BEETLE - This ancient ruby is the size of your fist and pulses with warm light, its top and bottom are wrapped in narrow bands of bronze, each engraved with repeating depictions of heavy-shelled beetles. This relic was once the heart of a powerful magical creature, the Conqueror Beetle, whose armor shattered a thousand thousand blades, whose strength broke the Olde Kingdoms, tossing the great stones of their foundations aside like children’s blocks. Never defeated, merely bound, the Conqueror Beetle’s heart was carved from its chest and, as soon as it touched the fresh air, it shrunk and hardened into the ruby you now hold in your hand. 
The Heart of the Conqueror Beetle calls out psychically to the person with the highest strength, offering endless power, unmatched strength, and the chance to become a bastion upon which the endless hordes of your foes will break like waves. Those who wish to refuse the offer must make a DC 14 CHA check, and every week that the ruby remains in the Party’s possession, failure means you’ve been inflicted with the Beetle’s Madness, for 1 week you will be able to think of nothing but the Heart and the great power it has offered you, craving its truth with every fiber of your being.
To gain the power of the Heart one must hold it before their bare chest, the flesh and bones of your ribs fall away painlessly, as if down a bottomless pit, to reveal your pounding heart. As you bring the Heart towards your own, it cracks and splits like the mandibles of a crystalline beetle and plunges into your chest, devouring your beating heart and replacing it in an agonizing ritual that causes the victim to seize and thrash about on the ground. When you awake, your entire body has become covered in dark slate-colored chitinous plates. You gain +10HP,  +6 STR, +6AP, +20ft of movement, -4 CHA, -4 INT, -4 WIS. Your unarmed attacks deal 2d6 damage. 30,000c.
