Katie???

gonna stick with me how the gotch family was basically a joke until fucking longspot destroyed ludmila's heart out of cruelty ignorance and greed, and then we got the emotional weight of all the PCs and the DM moving the sky to have goodness win despite that empty violence. there were a hundred rerolls and help actions and sacrifices and in a way it's like it's part of the point- even if the dice don't give you the outcome you were hoping for, sometimes why take it and move on when we're having to take it in the real world all the time, especially now. keep hoping, keep thinking up creative options, keep trying everything. and just this once, in this story, goodness won. it didn't get out unscathed, but it still won.

I think the biggest thing mascot horror things need to get a grip on is the reasonable balance of cute/creepy. The mascot in question needs to be cute enough to realistically be for children but scary enough to actually make for effective horror. Most games always lean too far in either direction and idk maybe it's just me but immersion with these kinds of games are important for me to actually find enjoyment in them.

Hey Science side of tumblr folks, if you were working on an NIH grant that was canceled, ProPublica is looking to hear from you to amplify your story and put it in the perspective of the ongoing assault on our commitment to care for each other.

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

this post has re-wired my brain in the best way
