reblog if your name isn't Amanda.

We’ll find you Amanda.

I've briefly touched upon this topic before but here goes; I know you can play D&D for pretty much free because it's extremely easy to pirate, but I think we've settled by now that piracy doesn't actually hurt companies as much as they want us to think, meaning that pirating D&D isn't as big of a "stick it to WotC" move as it's often presented as. Of course if you absolutely have to play D&D (but, like, why?) you won't get any moralizing from me about piracy, like, ever.

But the point is: supporting another game either monetarily or with your valuable time is a much more direct and tangible way to stick it to the cultural monopoly of D&D than playing D&D and not paying WotC. I mean if it's another big-ish publisher I don't have a lot of faith in their working conditions being much better than WotC's, but in some cases it probably is so. As it often happens, the market leader can often afford to pay its employees worse simply due to those positions being more desirable.

But anyway who cares, there's lots of games out there where you can actually get a full game sometimes for less than the cost of a single D&D book and since those games are often built as more focused experiences than the D&D "forever game" formula you're actually more likely to get to experience all of the game instead of a lot of the content existing just as shadows on the cave wall.

Supporting indie games and indie game makers monetarily is great. I love when y'all do that. But you know what I love just as much?

When y'all talk about my games (or any indie game), share stories about playing my games.

D&D game tales and discussion is everywhere. There's this feeling of a vast smothering blanket shading out the whole garden. It's everywhere. Mountains of discussion and content and reminiscing about your 8th level paladin or whatever. Theory crafting, homebrew (man, I do not like that word), world building. A thick canopy over small sprouts, omnipresent and seemingly omnipotent, making even the struggle to bloom seem pointless.

When I hear someone talking about a little indie game that could, I can feel the sunlight for a minute.

You guys will not fucking believe this

[AMV] Jon Arbuckle - You’re Gonna Go Far Kid

this is one of my favorite videos on the internet, and it kills me that the source has been silenced by youtube’s copyright system, so I’m putting it here!

I have seen a version of this on tumblr before, but the audio in that one is just a little bit off because that person edited it back in themselves

but today, I am proud to present the original video, sent to me by Crispy Crungy, who gave me permission to upload it here and share it with you all!

enjoy!

I love this description. It reads like a dedication speech for an art museum. Like we’re all witnesses to this video being interred in the Met. Preserving these things is important, and they really captured that.

my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:

the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.

URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.

reblogging to add the Trans Safety Network guidelines for media engagement

do not engage with the Guardian if you’re trans and a minor. do not speak with the Guardian on DIY HRT.

heck, unless the journalist is reputable and has a track record of good reporting on trans issues, do not speak with them about DIY HRT. seek out your local organisation if you are approached by a journalist.

I obviously can't verify the screenshot, but the guardian is a toilet, and the guidelines for media engagement posted are worth reading.

It's never worth engaging with an interviewer that has malicious intent. There's no good point you can make that they can't simply redact or spend an infinite amount of time figuring out how to spin in a negative. You've almost certainly seen some right wing interviewers who are so inept at this that they make themselves look bad, but even they're not worth the risk talking to. Their base does not care at best, and it'll help them at worst.

Additional context on the journalist coordinator this hit piece

Acab because the people that made this meme thinks the cops should just kill someone like this

Cops having a chuckle because they’re too cowardly to take a beating in order to save a life. All cops are cowards.

There is another way

By the Nine, keep your whore mouth shut

Pretty sure the other way involves keeping your whore mouth open

i’m going to kdxjdhdjhddjjdhs

TWO??? Having a private jet at all is bad enough on its own but why the fuck does she need two of them???

No ‘i would simply kill myself’ or ‘I choose none’

You have to pick one.

If you dont know what they do look it up

Remember to reblog for a bigger sample size

its incredible that for the whole game the protagonist manages to run over only one person

@gonna-monch  You want to tell me tHERE IS OTHER WAY? 

hey. why can i enable subliminal weight loss mantras in bejeweled 3

Bejeweled hypno kink

I wonder how hard it would be to mod in new ones

subliminal mantra of giving me fat tiddies

Sublingual estrogen of giving you fat tiddies

It's easy enough to mod in that it's on the mind control games wiki!

It's VERY easy @foone

To make custom files for Bejeweled-- All you have to do is just paste a text file with a bunch of words into the appropriate folder--

Sleepyhead is the admin of Mindcontrol.fun and she and I trade txt files for this purpose ALL OF THE TIME.

Literally it takes less than 30 seconds.

Go to your Bejeweled Folder and select affirmations

Open or create a txt document

Type whatever you want, each new line is a new message that will play out on the screen

AND THAT'S IT. You have created a Bejeweled Hypnosis File!

Awesome. Thank you for your service

"Don't be ridiculous, Harry, how could I possibly cast a counterspell? I'm tapped out! I already used *all* of my mana. I'm sure a supercop like you can tell that all my lands are tapped. Go ahead, cast your big bomb. We both know you want to, and you know what, *I* want it too, I want nothing more than to see your Craterhoof Behemoth hit the board so you can win the game, because we're all friends here and friends help each other win!"

I feel that this is important to add
