Hitchhikers Guide is like Doom but for media types rather than computational devices

Everyone debating whether fortune’s weave is a sequel or prequel to three houses is missing the much more funny possibility: it’s concurrent with 3H. Like imagine halfway through the game some characters like “yoooo I just got a letter from my cousin Shamir in Fôdlan some real fuck shit’s goin on over there”

i’m obsessed with the mum from ponyo. driving single lane on a cliff edge? drift those turns in your nissan cube. husband has to work an extra shift? tell him to fuck off in morse code. pet fish turned into a child on your driveway? adopt her. town drowned in a tsunami? leave your 5 year old in charge, he’s the man of the house now

I don’t think the club could handle her

LMAO YES

will say though, difference between this wilderness years is that the show is in a terrible place for expanded media if you want to like, push forward with the story. back in 1989 it ended in a spot where you could go on writing new 7th doctor stories but like. where the fuck do you go from the reality war ending

The Brain of Morbius is actually so funny. You'd assume the Doctor shouldn't be able to remember his past life as the Other/Timeless Child, so why is his strategy for defeating Morbius just throwing his own mind at him full force and hoping it doesn't kill him?

four is simply that arrogant that he thought he could defeat one of the most powerful time lords to ever live and unfortunately for the universe he was proven right

It seems pretty on brand for him that he can do a number of improbable things that are beyond either humans or other Time Lords and instead of going "huh i wonder why I have these impossible powers" he either goes "Oh every time lord can do that" or "that's right, I'm THAT impressive."

i always think of the bit in Invasion of Time when he tells Borusa why he can mask his thoughts from the Varden where nobody else can and instead of thinking "huh maybe there's something fundamentally different to me" he just comes to the conclusion that "YEAH I AM BETTER THAN YOU ACTUALLY"

The OSR movement may have its issues, but ultimately we've got to reckon with the fact that, to a large extent, it's merely reacting to the broader indie tabletop roleplaying sphere's tendency to lose sight of why many people take up the hobby in the first place: for a safe and budget-friendly way to satisfy the natural human impulse to put one's friends in some kind of fucked up labyrinth.

Yes, but it was badly done enough that I came away with the impression "oh this won't be fine" and I stayed in the closet from them for another 15 years!

the problem with parents is that they are undiagnosed

writers really will spend twenty minutes pacing around the kitchen thinking “this scene is genius” and then sit down to type and suddenly remember approximately three words and one emotional vibe
