@DragonCobolt I try to have clemency foe folks, for I too was a naive idiot raised on the cult of Empire. But one's neurodivergence should not be used as a shield
@JoviniusMaximus @DragonCobolt WT is tricky. The core dice mechanic is not bad to parse, but the individual powers and how they work can be dizzying.
Use Cafeteria Miracles to get ago of it, I implore you!
Or let DC 3xplain. He's super good at it
@DragonCobolt The fact that Spelljammer, Forgotten Realms, D&D, etc use the same rules omits that they each have fundamental flavors & colors unique to each. A giff might be on par with Your Standard Party, but flavor wise? The second a Spelljammer enters a spelljammer setting, it changes it
@DragonCobolt FR is the Kitchen Sink problem, where AnYtHiNg cAn hApPeN and so all of the neat, weird niche bits get smoothed out. It's the same reason I'm wary of crossover fanfic- you CAN mix Lord of the Rings + Harry Potter... but you risk losing what makes each setting special.
@mangadusk I do agree with the Guts vs Griffith placement though. Anyone who makes the Did Nothing Wrong posturing is clearly a troll with reactionary tendencies
@mangadusk Also Berserk feels a little closer to centre. For all the Hard Men (geh) that series attracts, it also has it's fair share of healthy masculinity
@DragonCobolt Have you listen to the a
Al-Qadim episodes on Monster Man by @/gonzohistory? they're doing a series on djinn right now and this REALLY ties in well with that
@DragonCobolt Noooo, don't seduce me with orgies where 'every worker gets their share (of ass)' is a team building exercise !
Ah, my praxis is moving on it's own!
@DragonCobolt Also: if I teen me knew I could impress the right kind of gal by discussing games/anime like this, I would have been a much happier and less repressed kid. (Also, WAY fewer hangups re:ne4dery and sex).
@DragonCobolt I am endlessly grateful that major game studios later discovers that girls like video games. Because even TEEN me could smell that was manufactured to appeal to A Certain Type of teenaged insecurity and it made me cringe.
