@Vordus what game are you playing?
re: rpg skill check rambling //
@lioness none of this being necessarily bad things. But it's a system that focuses on one type of play experience, and if you're looking for other things, it can disappoint.
re: rpg skill check rambling //
@lioness my strong impression from playing it briefly is that Lancer is a great system if you enjoy making weird combat builds and using them in a Battletech-lite kinda hex-based mech combat system
also there are skill rolls outside of combat sometimes, but that's not really the focus
Definitely a combat-first RPG
Mothra Courage and her Three Children
God bless every time someone tags over a Banksy and we get a feast of delicious "art installation defaced with graffiti" headlines
Steam updating their overlay to no longer show you the time has some really skeevy casino design darkpattern vibes
@JuliaRez Yeah, Victorian corset designs are ace
The one that my current goto pattern evolved from is like, 1895 iirc. Once I got it fitted to my bodyshape it's very comfortable.
To be clear I don't think these corset tops I'm seeing around are meant to be structural at all, it's entirely a decorative/aesthetic thing, I think.
@niss dang!! cheated of my vote by my own inability to research the candidates
@anne a noble steed
@JuliaRez I too am struggling to find photos of the corset tops I mean, because Google is a hive of bad AI photo-edits now.
@JuliaRez Like, if you make the neckline just a touch more modern and get rid of the flaps, you can very easily see a line from both of these sorts of shapes (cut-out bottom hem & more curved dip at the front) to contemporary corset tops.
There are corset tops shaped like modern/modern-ish corsets too, but these are the ones that make me go "Oooh, I thought you were extinct, hi!"
(Now I want a Coelocanth Corset)

@JuliaRez ok I was rlly depressed last week but like belatedly this sort of thing with the mega-deep plunge on the bottom hem, cutouts at the hips and no regard for tits is very big Elizabethan fashion vibes
Women's fashion is a wild time to be a historical costume nerd atm
Like, everything old is new, yadda yadda. But 'old-ass Elizabethan corsets/stays as crop-tops' was not even remotely on my 2020s bingo card
@kurrikage that suit is fantastic

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the closest we've gotten to a film adaptation of The Power Broker
