I think any inanimate thing you regularly care for becomes a little alive.
Sauron: “I like your Silmarils”
Morgoth: “Thanks, I stole them from the president”
hold on i have to read the Silmarillion real quick
yeah this is funny
braver than any US marine
I love the new timestamp feature. Instantly see that it did indeed take nearly a month to reply.
I realise it's 100% predictable of me to be enamoured with metatextual wankery, but I really appreciate the textual conceit in Nobilis whereby the game is ostensibly an in-universe document (i.e., the tabletop RPG Nobilis exists in the setting of Nobilis), particularly in light of the 3rd Edition's revelation that author's fictionalised self-insert is a human thrall of the generic Excrucian Deceiver who keeps popping up in the game's examples of play, with its concomitant implication that the game's systems of play are in-universe Excrucian propaganda. Like, forget about unreliable narrators – this one has unreliable rules!
guess who made a wargame with thirteen thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine unit statblocks
trying to format it but it keeps crashing the word processor
hey uh. thirteen thousand? three zeroes?
seven hundred and ninety-nine yeah
two questions real quick:
- how?
- how?
hey you know how there's a lot of funko pops
i do, yes
06 Stormtrooper Conan (Rubbish type)
Bloodthirst-4 Egregiousness-7
Instability-8 Phrenology-4
Charisma-8 Existential Dread-8
Melee: I deal Pressure damage equal to double my Existential Dread to an enemy within 2".
Ranged: I deal Pressure damage equal to my Charisma to an enemy within 19".
Passive: As long as I have the highest Instability in the battle, my melee attacks deal +5 Pressure damage.
Trigger: Whenever a Pop!batant with lower Existential Dread than me deals damage, I get +1 Charisma permanently.
I thought this was a bit and
I'm here for this. Incredible.
I keep trying to type up some funny comment about this but I'm simply dumbfounded. Good job on the game design @rathayibacter this rules so much
Assuming my text editor's metrics are accurate, this game is 878 921 words in length. Exactly eight hundred of those words comprise the rules in their entirety; the other 878 121 words are the stat blocks.
Are you guys aware of chimney swifts??
They’re in the same order as hummingbirds and, in some positions, you can see the resemblance
But like… a hummingbird that’s cosplaying as a falcon.
Sleek. Efficient. Aerodynamic. Perfectly optimized.
Also they like to sleep in chimneys, hence the name, and when they perch they become very very flat
They also like to sleep in groups
Anyway 10/10 weird little beast. Love these little flat fuck hummingbird falcons
to solve the phonetime disease you know the one where you get stuck on the phone simulating an unconscious state without letting your brain ever actually rest or think or process. to solve this after a long time trying the 'just try really hard not to do this' method to no success i have developed a proprietary system called signing into bed. on account of this mostly happens to me when i get in bed in the middle of the day. and its very simple its a paper sign in sheet that i keep on my bed (so i see it when im about to get in bed) where i made a table for date, reason/what i will do there, time in, time out, and if i want to get in bed i have to sign in first aka decide on an intention and its kind of changing my life
helios-shine asked:
I'm gonna be so real the new video about the total solar eclipse made me cry. Red, you have such an incredible way of painting word pictures and making something sound like real magic. The footage of the eclipse and the video essay breakdown after actually got me tearing up. Seriously, your skills for storytelling are unmatched.
