Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

The word "triggered" is like verbal ranch dressing for the incel crowd.

Poor motherfuckers will use it on anything, and mostly to disguise any challenging content.

some people find comfort in blindly committing to an ideology

some people lose themselves in relationships

other souls can find peace in nature

some must spend years practicing meditation to find their serenity

some are just born lucky, content with their own simple existence and awareness

and then you have people like me, who just found a deep spiritual comfort in discovering mary woronov played the mom in the music video for institutionalized by suicidal tendencies

Hey, folks, just doing a little logistics tonight...

Would this be an inconvenient time for me to sing the Song That Rends All Time, Space, and Souls? Or would this weekend be better?

Let me know soon, if you can. I only have the rental on the Harp of Forsaken Infants until the 17th.

OK masto hive. Need your help for a good, scholarly cause. :)

What the hell are the lyrics to the bridge of this Micachu song?! (2:41)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIdeod5QFV0&feature=youtu.be&t=2m41s

They're not official, and I've never let a (non-REM) lyric beat me before.

Best guess:
"Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
(Yeah, I know - yeah, I know)
My brother's [in the pen all over again]
(Yeah, I know - yeah, I know)
[S]he's a [bumbaclot], so very flippin' [*******]"

If you can fill those asterisks in, especially... <3 <3 <3

I kinda miss living right in the middle of Furry Grand Central.

Today's needlessly obscure trivia question:

What is Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream's attested maximum speed, in miles per hour?

(HINT: the relevant evidence involves an undergarment)

good mood today except for the culture i'm living in, the planet i'm living on, and the species of violently deranged symbol-obsessed apes I'm living among

i had horrible social-anxiety nightmares where i was at a con and absolutely none of you wanted to socialize with me or even tell me how to locate you. my frustration got worse and worse until my temper kicked in and i went carrie on everything

it didn't affect me much, since bandaza was the exact opposite, TOO much love & attention :)

Make all the jokes you like, but WHERE IN THE SHIT IS CARMEN SANDIEGO taught me so much about industrial waste management.

going to hide from all your shitposts until the next 15-minute long goddamn millennial fad <3

OMG DIAZ ❤️​💛​💚​💙​💜​🏳️‍🌈​

It's not the writing that's draining. It's not the research that's draining. It's the communicating.

When it's just me versus the database, everything's fine and I can almost kinda focus and I love my job.

But this month has all been judging the work of actual people, with no choice but to tell them at least SOMETHING about what I think of their work. Every word carries a risk of committing offense, and it costs me about two spoons per hour just to run the social filters. ;_;

Other than that, I'm thinking this will be pretty freeform, with just the bare minimum of rules necessary to give people inspiration.

Does this sound like something that might be fun? I'm especially curious what @ElectricKeet​, @Vedia_Lupae​, and @green​ think, since you were my original batch of volunteers and have dibs on any actual playtests. ^_^

I'd especially love volunteers to help with the game design aspect of this, if it sounds interesting at all.

Each hero, team, organization, civilization, etc. created during the game gets its own card, with a couple of power-ranking stats. (This is mostly for narrative and record-keeping purposes; no character really "belongs" to any given player.)

The campaign is divided into eras: Pulp, Golden, Silver, Bronze, Dark, Modern, and Post-Modern. A new set of trope cards is introduced with each era, gradually introducing things like team-ups, what-ifs, & multiverses.
(con't)

So. I teased something about an RP experiment a couple of months ago, but I don't think I ever explained what it was!

I want a storygame RPG that'll create an entire comic-book continuity in the course of a single campaign, from the first "powered" pulp hero to dimension-shattering Retcon Crises.

Planning on card-based mechanics, using the Silicon Dawn deck with all the extras. Each player turn equals one full comic issue.

(con't)

(That said, fuck the "freeze peach" mentality, too. Most of the "speech" that crowd is defending is deliberately, painstakingly crafted to be low-quality and crowd out meaningful exchanges. What those bastards did to Leslie Jones, for example, should have been punished with banning, mutings, censurings, blockings, and repeated bludgeonings. That's not only not protected speech, I'm not sure I'd call it speech. Speech has content. -_- )
