Is it too late for Firefall photos? (Yosemite National Park) [1707x2560][OC] - Author: DarumaRilakkuma on reddit
So, I posted this a long while ago on my patreon, but felt it was time to share it here.
Iâve seen a lot of supplemental weapon posts, and figured I should throw my hat into the ring. I love weapons with special effects that arenât necessarily magic, and felt 5e just didnât have quite enough variety. Especially with ranged weapons. Most of these were translated from 3.5 or 4e, but some I did the footwork on myself. Either way, enjoy!

Had to make this out of one of our favorite scenes in The Fifth Element.
Ian Holm and Chris Tucker delivered this comedic moment on a silver platter.

Thereâs literally nothing funnier than this in the world
If you guys missed this, basically this subreddit full of idiots who make dumb day trading decisions because it makes them laugh decided to buy stock in GameStop (a dying company) and enough of them did it that it created indication of a bullish up swing so stock traders bought tons of stock. Now everyone who shorted stock in GameStop (because itâs a dying company) are getting reamed and losing millions. Fucking clown shoes economy lmao
this tweet that screenshots a Reddit post explains it better than I can but basically a hedge fund bought a bunch of Gamestop stock because Gamestop is a dying company and they would make a bunch of money once the price stock went down. A bunch of Redditors saw this happen and, to screw over the hedge funds, bought a bunch of stock, causing the price to go up, and in return, the hedge funds have to keep buying the (Reddit-inflated) increase price of Gamestop in order to keep their placing their bet. Some of the most parasitic people on the planet are mad because Redditors showed how bullshit the stock market is for the fun of it. The owner of the New York Mets lost 3 billion dollars in 24 hours.
And now theyâre trying to prevent it from happening again. A lot of apps are blocking this kind of thing now- so we all know that it was never about anyone being able to play the stock market- it was only ever supposed to benefit those on top anyway. Its a free market, right? Not really, I guess.
Thereâs also word on the street of potentially a taxpayer-funded government bailout of these hedge funds who made these bad bets and therefore, lost billions.
So letâs get this straight - in a pandemic, no healthcare, no $2,000 checks for people to make it financially on. But the bourgeoisie gets big mad when they get beaten at their own game. You got gotten by gamers.

Anthropology major answer: âThere absolutely was such a time! Modern humans and our ancestors shared territory numerous times over prehistory with cousin species like homo neanderthalensis, homo floresiensis, and many, many others!âÂ
Folklore student answer: âAlso, almost all cultures have something like djinn, faeries, hulder, fox spirits, and other similar creatures who can appear at least human and are very, very dangerous to humans!âÂ
Both of these things are true, and may be connected both to the above and to each other. :D
Biology majors: itâs dead bodies guys. Corpses.
Listen I hate this take on the uncanny valley so fucking much because many subpsecies of homonids lived in the same areas but some of them got along well enough to coexist and neandertals had enough desirable genetic traits to the point where human women (see here for a blanket on female vs male choosiness) would often pass up incel homosepian for the chad neandertal.
Genetics aside, various hominid species didnât start visually looking all that different until 50,000 years ago, while under the skin changes began as early as 89,000 years ago (ie the development of the Y chromosome but I might be oversimplifying at this point) Point being, even our non-human cousins didnât. look. that. different. from. us. Especially comparing the diversifying of humans themselves crossing trans continental as it was. And even then neandertals still had advantagious traits for living in the Eurasian hemisphere.
Also I digress, regardless of it being intentional, and with few perserved records from that chapter in our speciesâ history, I donât like the implication that the uncanny valley effect stems from humans being inherently racist (for lack of a word for hatred of non-human intelligences). I know that sounds off the wall but prejudice and sense of superiority by birthright is vastly different than othering by means of the sucess of social groups and the need to compete for territory or resources. Racism is entirely a Eurpean fabrication and itâs been proven time and time again to be a cultural outlier and purposfully designed to further the agenda of corroded theocratical religious divinity (here, here, here) and the financial benifits of the exploitation of colonism that otherwise has not been replicated by other cultures to the same degree. (this is the only example off the top of my head but Iâm know thereâs more.)
You know whatâs older than racism?
You know whatâs more flesh crawling than neandertals?
fucking rabies
You know what LOOKS like a human but doesnât ACT human ENOUGH? Do you know what might bite you and get you sick or turn you into something that also moves about in a non human way? Brain parasites that give you painful headaches and intensifies agression and confusion.
Say youâre a monkey and one member of your troop gets bitten by something. Later he starts twitching and swaying about. He keeps stumbling out of trees but barely feels anything when he hits the ground. He wonât eat sleep or drink. He makes guttural noises that keep alerting predators and heâs in obvious writhing agony. Suddenly heâs not your friend anymore. He doesnât recognize you and he attempts to bite and claw at anything that moves.
Up until preventitive oral medications and vaccines were developed in the 1970s there was NOTHING stopping rabies and it still prevails today and kills hundreds of thousands of people in third world countries with limited medical resources a year. Thereâs no cure for rabies once youve got it and the only reliable diagnostic is a brain autopsy.
Rabies. TB. Leoprosy. Syphilis. Meningitis. Toxoplasmosis. Anthrax. Mercury Poisoning. Prion disease. These are all bad and in different varying degrees can cause limps, sores, agression, confusion or dazed trances, ambled pacing, convulsions or uncharacteristic behavior in humans.
Basically everything that people are terrified of when it comes to zombies. Vampires bite. Werewolves rip people apart. Demonic possesion? Easy. Changlings take the place of your loved ones.
Also I donât think that itâs a conicidence that the things we find uncomfortable with the uncanny valley also just happen to line up with predatory behavior, smiling too wide or staring you down, blinking too slowly or moving towards you with a slow steady speed. Itâs just a danger signal to keep other monkeys in a troop from getting bitten by an infected monkey. Simple as that.
After all whatâs scarier? A dead body, or moving body that will MAKE you dead?
Iâm not going to be a hypocrite by pointing out racism being excused as a stemmed human behavior without claiming that the deep seated primal fear of disease doesnât make a good excuse for ableism as well. I mean we use othering to discern friend from foe, and then at some point decided that was a good enough excuse for racism. Theres legitimate proof that ancient homonids could and would be hospitible to the disabled out of compassion. The point of having these initial fears is to guage saftey measures first, but once someone or something is proven to be harmless that normally should be the end of it. I mean if an adult wild silverback gorrilla can look at a spycam and decide itâs chill after a moment of inspection then thereâs really no excuse for any of us.
Healthy othering =/= newly invented racism.
healthy fear of infectious diseases =/= excuse to hate disabled people.
But yeah rabies is more likely the reason for the uncanny valley effect thanks for coming to my goddamn ted talk.
Reblogging this version bc of sources and I personally think this makes for much more interesting (and terrifying) lore than any other post in this thread.

Excuse me?! I am going to need a full version of this shanty from these two IMMEDIATELY.
I'm so glad everyone else loves this as much as I do. Also, left dude is not just SINGING that low, his voice just IS that low. He talks exactly that deep in his non singing videos too. Also, he is only 19 so imagine what the bastard is gonna sound like at 50 or 60 or something.
