GAME CHANGER WEIRD SHIT
- zac, bdg, josh and kevin aren't credited in the episode description, but ash, nico, and kaylin are.
- the clown's name is roscoe, until it's no problem.
- trapp's prize is samuel dalton's watch.
- solzhenitzyn's nobel prize speech is about the endurance of art, the ache of the soul, the ineffability of the bigger picture - and reminds me of Sam's obsession with recursion, callbacks, and nesting doll structures.
??????????
in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
Brennan Lee Mulligan on Dimension 20 is a harsh but ultimately benevolent god, who subjects his players to harrowing trials which they curse him for in the moment, but later come to appreciate were for their benefit and enjoyment.
Sam Reich on Game Changer, on the other hand, is a cruel and capricious god who mocks and torments his players with games he has deviously designed to distress and enrage them, all for his own amusement and the attention of the masses.
Seeing these two posts back to back makes me wonder how long it'll be before Brennan attacks Sam with a halberd
“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo

i love the very subtle editing for this ep
Lindt, Mondelēz, and Nestlé together raked in nearly $4 billion in profits from chocolate sales in 2023. Hershey’s confectionary profits totaled $2 billion last year. The four corporations paid out on average 97 percent of their total net profits to shareholders in 2023. The collective fortunes of the Ferrero and Mars families, who own the two biggest private chocolate corporations, surged to $160.9 billion during the same period. This is more than the combined GDPs of Ghana and Ivory Coast, which supply most cocoa beans. Decades of low prices have made farmers poorer and hampered their ability to hire workers or invest in their farms, limiting bean yield. Old cocoa trees are particularly vulnerable to disease and extreme weather. Many farmers are abandoning cocoa for other crops, or selling their land to illegal miners.
environmental storytelling
i cannot overstate how incredible it is that i can just leave the house now. i went to costco yesterday which is fuckin huge and i was there for like an hour at least, moving around the entire time, and the only consequence is that my shoulders are a little sore. like??? that would've been impossible with just my rollator, i wouldn't have even entertained the idea. this is fucking nuts
As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."
"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."
It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

When Senshi was young in the dungeon the majority of the adults he were with ostracized him. All except Gillin, who died to make sure Senshi had something to eat: unseasoned boiled meat that may or may not have been one of their comrades.
It really puts into perspective why he was so nurturing towards Chilchuck. When Chil reveals he’s 28 to the party, Senshi responds by telling him that he thought he was older. Senshi was in his 30s when he and his comrades got trapped in the dungeon, so it’s safe to assume that he thought Chil was at a similar age.
He met a young boy who was, from his perspective, forced to do dangerous work in the dungeon just like he was, and so, Senshi made an effort to look after Chilchuck in the same way Gillin looked after him.
Mind you, when Senshi was young in the dungeon he had to starve for weeks, eat the horse he loved, and finish it off spending the next i don’t know how many years wondering if he committed cannibalism.
Senshi understands first hand the value of nutrition and proper eating, so when he’s with the party he makes an effort to make sure they’re all eating a full and balanced diet. Not only that, but Senshi INVOLVES them in the process of getting food to eat, always preparing it in front of them and narrating every ingredient in the process so that there’s no doubt about what they’re eating.
I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest
What do you expect? He's a man of the cloth
God damn you that's perfect
I honestly can't believe how many people have replied or reblogged with "why were you trying to figure out if Kermit could be Pope?"
Why wouldn't I? Isn't that the kind of thing you google just for fun?
Come on, live a little.
