silly wargaming smut
There are many reasons to love Frostgrave
But seeing wargaming stalls stock a book about hyena furries, called "Into the Breeding Pits"
That never gets old, really
Copying Helm's Deep into your fantasy setting, aka "Anyway, here's Wonderwall."
(Total War: Warhammer 2)
re: on the use of ideas as weapons, grotesquely descriptive
@LexYeen@snouts.online "Small enough to hide and make in bulk, sturdy, and unreasonably sharp." also describes rats, to be fair
@Brainship thankyou!
@blackle@dev.glitch.social Trans community knowledge & advice was vital through my transition, yeah
I should really set up a posty-place for my mini painting again. I used to have a Tumblr for such things, but.. Tumblr.
Getting back into painting Dungeon Saga after a couple of years of health issues & focusing on other things hobbywise. Orks aren't done yet, but they're coming along orkily.
Shipwreck Golem is by Reaper Miniatures. Almost complete now. ;w; The little stowaway octopus is by far my favourite part.
re: Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request
@kellerfuchs @audrey @tom Apologies, I realise now it's not 3am that "handbrake" would imply "parking brake" because cars
I mean brakes that are used for slowing while moving.
re: Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request
Guh
If I had the energy skills & hardware to make secure custom mountings (for the brakes and the handles) I could just install some standard-ass caliper brakes
(like the ones on any roadbike, ever)
I however lack these things
So the formal options seem to be "buy some reeeeal expensive ones from Texas, including ditching my current wheel setup for buying their wheels"
or switch to some kinda electric wheelchair or electric hybrid setup (also expensive, a lot heavier)
Or the informal gamble of asking around the local hackspace to hire a random bike-modding enthusiast
Cuz I like self-propelling, but grip strength is not something I will ever be at the required level for "just grab the wheelrims with yr hands lol" to be reliable/safe/not-massively-painful
Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request
Does anyone know of any handbrakes for wheelchairs, or wheelchairs with handbrakes?
By this I mean "I get brakes for my wheelchair" rather than "someone stood behind me gets brakes for my wheelchair".
(there are *tonnes* of the latter around, but afaict none of the former outside of one company who make brakes for specific wheels in Texas)
@colon_three are these real? o.o
Like, I'm a big fan of turn-based grid tactics generally, and the writing's good
But the most satisfying part of the game is unlocking an expanding range of improbable showerhose attachments & glowy green thingamajigs to dress them up in
I did not realise how much I wanted a dressup-doll game with WH40K's grumpy transhumanist tentacle-clergy til Mechanicus came along
but the game is 100% onboard with indulging that
@eris@cybre.space they are such good dogs ;w;
it is lovely seeing them on my timeline each time
@Moot@snouts.online put Red Faction Gorilla building physics in EDF..!
I am making a new Gamedev Law, so listen well:
If you're going to call a video a "pre-alpha gameplay trailer"
It has to just be the devs running round miming what's going to happen in the game, making all the noises with their mouths
(sock puppets will be considered on a case-by-case basis)
Autism, Ablism Snark
the Secret Autistic Pronoun Set:
your child / your child's / your childself
ADHD & PTSD Overlap
I think, something a lot of people don't click onto until a lot later in life (and most doctors don't at all)
Is that all the longterm symptoms of childhood trauma on the nervous system don't just diagnostically overlap with ADHD, you can have both at once.
When you do, the combination amplifies the effects. In frequency, breadth and intensity.
This also goes for chronic pain, digestion, mood stuff, anxiety, etc.
Trauma is a massive, longterm injury to your entire Nervous System. That impacts your body in a whole lotta ways that aren't usually what people think of.
Bladerunner 2049, movie snark
I tried watching the Bladerunner sequel because I was bored and too exhausted to move, but I had to stop about 1/3rd through because jeez
There's sitting through tedious male gaze stuff, and then there's watching a movie try to speedrun the 'sexist tropes in noir/cyberpunk' bingo sheet
UK trans folks, hearing there's been a massive data breach at Charing Cross GIC. Best to check yr inbox/spam/etc if they've got yr email address.
trans pol, meta
Oof, I didn't see some of the other stuff on Twitter
That past toot was way wrong now I know the other context. Sorry.
