@kotep I love how if you hear the term "draconian" you naturally think "oh, that's like, mean and powerful, like dragons I guess?", but it turns out no, it was just some dude so mean he literally gave dragons a bad name
pop culture history, sexism (surprisngly +?) 2/2
@kotep this guy's wiki was a trip to read through. Working every damn day for like, 70 years, minus brief intervals where his wife or he himself was dying, to the extent that he'd routinely like, check into a hotel, see there was a wedding and offer to do a short set for $100.
Guy seems like the exemplar of something, but I honestly can't tell if it's a positive or negative thing
@tfproxy I was going to ask if this was your one!
Genuinely, I watched that whole trailer with my mouth open in astonishment. That's really rad, congrats!

re: Spotify album cover image microtargeting
Honestly the fact that I've never heard of Doja Cat before and she
a) has album art like that
b) raps about having a ton of good sex
c) had a viral video in *2018* where she dressed up in a cow outfit and sung "I'm a cow, I'm a cow, moo I'm a cow"
Has made me feel older and more out of touch than I have in *some time*
re: Streaming Stellaris Notice
@tfproxy
Ah, no worries! It was interesting. Very low key, and I probably wasn't as engaging as I should have been, but in my defence I kinda just really wanted to play the game rather than talk through it. I've been continuing to play the save off-stream though, so maybe I'll pick it up some time later. I figure if I do it again I'll do it on a weekend when more folks are likely to be around, so I'll let you know if so!
Streaming Stellaris Notice
Hey, figure I should put this here too, but I'm just about to start streaming the new update for Stellaris, if anyone is interested. Should be a very chill hang - I know the game well and I'm going to be talking through it, but I can't imagine there'll be any more than 10 people watching (and quite likely about 2-3), so it should just be a chill hang if anyone fancies coming and checking it out. Over on Twitch here:

Dumb horny mushy relationship stuff, but not how you think
Perhaps the best summation of my working relationship with Angrboda is that when I sat down to write a snake story, I searched my prospective title on FA first, to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes.
I found one result, written and posted four years ago, which credited the title of the story, "A Farewell To Legs", directly to Angrboda.
We are, as ever, a horny ouroboros
@Soreth missed this before now, but thank you! That one seems to have gone down really well, so I'm glad people are digging it

@tfproxy I just saw this too and extremely thought of you
Negative meme opinion
@angrboda yeah, agreed. That's why I just muted those phrases when it started being a thing, but yeah, I wanted to vent at least a little here in a space where seemingly no one is invested in it
Negative meme opinion
Is it safe to unmute the word "hog" yet
I don't entirely know why, but for some reason the second that meme started happening I was instantly completely tired of it. Maybe because the whole thing was built on "haha, what a nuclear dunk, take that right-wing idiot!", which honest to god just feels like punching a wall and laughing about how your bloody handprints make it look silly
Tabletop RPG nonsense
Just finished putting together my character for the 2e Pathfinder game a friend is running, and I'm excited to play with my half-orc fighter/world's goodest boy.
The best single taste of his backstory is that the weapon he uses is an Orcish Necksplitter called "Gorechild". That was an early gift his human mother gave to his orcish father, who couldn't bring himself to tell her just how incredibly over the top it was. Now they've more-or-less forced my character to "take your older brother with you on your travels, he'll keep you safe", probably while obnoxiously winking at each other
