BIG ASS STURGEON

I don't trust anyone who hasn't acknowledged their capacity for evil.

"I'm just a smol bean uwu" No sir, what you are is someone who is so habituated to thinking of yourself as innocent that you will continue to do so even when you're guilty.

To quote Chris Fleming

"You know that thing where the most toxic person you've ever met over-relates to woodland creatures on social media? I call it Vibe Dysphoria. She'll put up a picture of a mouse in a jean jacket with 'It's me.' That is not you. I don't know how you got under the impression that you are a mouse in a jean jacket. You are an eel with a gun.She posts a toad with a basket of mushrooms like 'Me doing my little things.' Oh madam, there is nothing little about your things. You gave me psychosexual issues I'll carry to my watery grave. You are not a toad in the forest...You are a cruel woman who just happens to be small."--Chris Fleming

roommate texted this to me……..

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven’t had your “third” death. You decide to find out why.

You sold some shitty copper, man, I don’t know what to tell you

Have you played DALLAS : The Television Rolepalying Game

By James Dunnigan

Playing through scenarios, mostly as a character from Dallas. Seduction is an actual stat (along with Coersion, Persuasion, and Investigation, as well as Power and Luck)

This dumb thing has always been a personal favourite of mine. It was the second tabletop roleplaying game ever to be based on a popular media license (the first, of course, being Star Trek), and features a number of notable game-mechanical innovations for its era, including the earliest known example of a formal "social combat" framework, as well as a rudimentary form of troupe play, in which each player takes on the roles of multiple characters drawn from a common pool.

(Unfortunately, the Venn diagram of prime-time soap opera fans and tabletop RPG players in 1980 had effectively zero overlap. Eighty thousand copies of the game were produced, of which only a few hundred were ever sold; the publisher subsequently went bankrupt.)

Weird part is, given the popularity of social combat games now, this would probably do numbers. Maybe not the biggest numbers, but it wouldn't do bad.

It would probably require considerable adjustment to appeal to modern social RPG fans; the existing rules are both explicitly heteronormative (Seduction rolls only affect characters of the "opposite sex") and sexist (female characters almost universally have lower stat totals than male characters). Still, it definitely has some ideas worth examining.

(These foibles do have their own amusing quirks, though. For example, organisations – which can be taken on as secondary player characters via the aforementioned troupe play rules – lack Seduction-related stats and don't interact with the Seduction mechanics, except for the Senate Investigative Committee, which inexplicably has a Seduction Resist score. How this interacts with the gender restrictions on Seduction targeting is not addressed.)

The advice for playing characters is fascinating.

Yeah, that's a big part of why adjusting the game's baked-in gender politics is more challenging than it might initially appear. Male characters, who tend to have higher stat totals, also tend to be assigned episode-specific victory conditions which require them to attack other men, while female characters, who tend to have lower stat totals, also tend to be assigned episode-specific victory conditions which are more compatible with good alliance-building. It's actually a really interesting and effective game balance mechanism, but the moment you start fucking with it even a little bit you basically end up having to rejig every single published scenario.

so ive thought this was the funniest thing since i was 15 and it pops up in my head constantly, but in Not Being American i have come to realise over the years that 1. the beginning is lyrics from a real country song and 2. the astronaut attempted murder was real. nothing in here is made up
