robot girl getting all flustered like 'ohmigosh... she referred to me by my MAC address...... I didn't know we were that close'

If there's one piece of advice I'd give to folks in the US running Kickstarter campaigns, it's that if you're shipping rewards to Canada, please just send them via regular post if you possibly can. Outfits like UPS and DHL charge absurd fees to the recipient for every little thing when shipping from the US to Canada. I just got charged $40 CAD in "processing fees" to receive a package because DHL had to collect $4 CAD in sales tax.

"Isn't that just customs" nope. If a parcel arrives with $20 in customs and duties due, DHL will collect the $20 from you, then charge you an extra $80 for filing the paperwork on your behalf. Those amounts are not an exaggeration!

i think being proud of where you come from is one of those things that becomes fun the more specific you get. like "proud to be english" bad rancid vibes. makes you sound like the kind of person who rants about immigrants. "proud to be from yorkshire" better vibes. i cannot deny the yorkshire cultural heritage. "proud to be from pocklington" absolutely fucking hilarious please never let anybody kill your pocklington pride.

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

(If your first thought upon reading this was "okay, you're just doing a bit, right? Surely you didn't actually have a playtest group who assumed that everything with a labelled slot on the character sheet was fair game and was letting players tag their pronouns for bonuses?": welcome to the world of technical writing.)

I don't think you actually have a playtest group who assumed that. I think, considering who you are and the kind of people you and your game attract, you have a playtest group who argued they could tag their pronouns for bonuses for the love of the game.

No comment.

a few days ago somebody posted a very confident but blatantly incorrect 'correction' on one of my posts and I resisted the urge to argue with them, so at this point remaining on tumblr effectively makes me a bodhisattva

There's a very funny thing that happens in transhuman science fiction where sometimes an author will turn out to be a reactionary conservative who thought he was writing dystopian fiction and intended all the sickass radical body modification stuff to be scary, but he assumed that was obvious and forgot to put it in the actual text.
