"Surely a tabletop RPG whose conflict resolution mechanics instruct its players to spend all night playing cards doesn't mean it seriously" like, I've bumped into tabletop RPGs whose player-facing instructions have in all apparent sincerity included directives to variously start a fight club, violate the Migratory Birds Act, set your own character sheet on fire, and menace the other players with a knife. You tell me!

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

#i was in a car with a linguist i had never met before the car trip and like half an hour in he looked at me#after i finished describing a geology thing that was happening out the window and asked if i'd ever spent much time on tumblr#the fuckor of it all#and then we spent six more hours driving#it sure does leave linguistic markers! i'm not sure i'm good with it (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)

it is one thing to be a linguist and another to be a linguist who knows enough of 2010s Tumblr to spot one of its enjoyers

oh my god this diagnosis whose definition has been steadily widening for decades has higher incidence and prevalence rates than it used to. we should all get measles about this
