A level 99 blacksmith just offered bottom surgery with mythril but idkkkk chat what kind of enchantments should I put on that thang?

bane of arthropods. i won't disclose anything but you'll need it for later. trust me on this one

i would really prefer a spoiler in this case

#This is the representation I’ve been looking for

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

like the usual arguments are "not everyone can afford video games or have the software to pirate" or "you can be a fan of a game's story, but not it's gameplay" but also some people just have more fun watching other people be really good at starcraft or speedrun super mario 64, i don't think that's a particularly out of the box way to engage with the medium.

i know this argument is generally about story driven games rather than competitive multiplayer games, but alot of discourse is around how "gameplay is a fundamental part of video games as an artform" and i absolutely agree but i also don't think you need to hold a controller in order to appreciate a video game on a mechanical level in the same i don't think you need a driver's license in order to be a vehicle enthusiast, like it certainly helps but some people are just kind of autistic like that.

a weird trend in this discourse is people going "video games aren't like movies or tv shows you're supposed to play them not watch em" while also going "watch a playthrough of a video game is like reading a movie's wikipedia page" which like why are you claiming the mediums strength is interactivity while exclusively comparing them to non-interactive mediums instead of like. Sports. Or Books?

like Audiobooks are objectively not reading and it would be concerning if you could not name a single book you've physically read but I don't think its so far off that you're basically just reading the goodread reviews.

forgot to say that im a teacher. a random 6th grader didnt spawn into my lunch break to mock me, though that is really really funny to think about

Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness
