Also Lucy Liu is a stunningly talented actor. She does the thing where you can just look at her face and tell exactly what her character is thinking.

is a girl not entitled to the but of we're both girls?
as best I can tell the reason for that much emphasis placed on polynomial equations in algebra class is that a while ago mathematicians realized you could treat them as numbers in their own right (as vectors) & proofs about them were very much in vogue in the 16th and 17th centuries, the mathematical era before calculus became fashionable
& we don't really revisit our math curriculums, we just put new stuff on the end. So polynomials come before calculus comes before topological set theory &c
@starkatt In short: They wanted to make super digital gold and one of the ways to do that was to make it concretely finite.
I'm still going on about Monsterhearts
On the other hand, sometimes I worry that Monsterhearts can be misery tourism. That trying to imagine abusive circumstances I've never actually experienced firsthand does a disservice to people who have been there.
I don't know, really?

I heard Avery Alder on a podcast where she said something along the lines of "the great thing about tabletop RPGs is that you can have experiences, without having the same *responsibility* to them that you do with actual events in your life."
That's really stuck with me.

Still trying to process what makes this game special. There's lots of little things, but it still feels like there's something big that I'm not wholly able to articulate yet.
The closest I can get is that the game encourages you not just to be terrible, but to be believably terrible. To be terrible in ways that actual living people around you might be or have experienced. And maybe as a result you'll learn how to be a slightly better person for real.
@baxil I got around to reading your car theft story, and it is properly baffling. Awesome :D
@starkatt Well, this graph would have to start shifting in the other direction, first. ;)
