Legacy was great, but all my friends who cared about it were Daft Punk fans, which unfortunately is too kind of a niche to carry a movie

E sei lá, bicho, ontem eu tava me achando bonita, foda-se o resto

Eu na lotus com um vestidinho preto com manga transparente, batom preto, em uma selfie de espelho

Mas ainda é meio merda me sentir tão deslocada e fora do lugar num meio com tanta gente queer autista, fazer o quê

Talvez com a cabeça em outro lugar eu me interesse no futuro de novo, mas acho que realmente já deu, a menos que me convidem pra algo particular e eu tenha companhia mais certa

E sei lá, eu quero me sentir atraente, eu quero que cheguem em mim com interesse claro e entusiástico, eu não quero gente que ou não se interessa ou tem medo de assustar

Pela amor, eu não sou de ferro

Não sei até que ponto eu só me queimei muito na cena, se é com todo mundo meio assim mesmo, ou sei lá, mas eu sei que eu enchi o saco

Eu tava com a auto-confiança lá embaixo achando que eu só não era mais atraente mesmo

Mas não, eu só precisava mudar o tipo de rolê

Eu fui de um evento de BDSM pra uma festinha descontraída dançante de comunidade não-mono

Em um rolê, geral ou finge que eu não existo ou me cumprimenta meio com sorriso amarelo pela metade

No outro as pessoas legitimamente se interessam, dão em cima de mim direito e conversam mais relaxadas

Ontem por uma confusão de agenda acabei marcando dois rolês pro mesmo dia, pra não evitar de prestigiar pessoas envolvidas eu emendei um no outro

Me fez refletir porque eu enjoei da cena de BDSM daqui, eu simplesmente não aguento mais o quão blasé a galera é

Still mostly pretty trivia books at heart, which isn't a bad thing per se, but still...

The very reason the OSR existed in the first place is due to "market forces" deciding D&D history was rubbish and could and should simply be thrown into the bin

If that's what it means "gold-standard treatment" that's a fucking low bar if I ever saw one

Vitoria, Lamashtan Mage @vitoriafaria27.bsky.social · 1d

In the last 5 years or so, they realized there's a maket there and are trying to profit from it

Still shallow and meek compared to what the fan base made and still makes

No TSR and D&D’s early periods didn't receive the "gold-standard treatment"

WotC spent some 20 years trying as hard as they could to ignore and erase history

If anything is remembered, it is organicaly due to the fans

Rascal News @rascal.news · 1d

Reshare: Even as TSR and D&D’s early periods receive the gold-standard treatment, there’s much more to the hobby than one game and one company. But are those histories actually important? What is at stake if we forget them?

its wild how across time, space, and culture we keep finding trans people describing having nearly the exact same experiences trans people have today and academics will bend over backwards to explain why they cannot be trans and how its actually offensive and degrading to even suggest that

"Efectivelly a wargame with just some diegetic excuses sprinkled in" is very much the kind of play that many want

Some games like Lancer are even more explicit about it

Vitoria, Lamashtan Mage @vitoriafaria27.bsky.social · 1d

It opens up the design space for having that basically how many times you want without having to worry about it

Without having to break or heavily house rule a system

I'm not trying to sell it back to you or argue about it

It just is what it is, if you don't like it, it's ok

It is sorta meant for the kind of people that nullified attrition in attrition heavy games by just having a single encounter per day, so they don't need to force it in like this

Some old guys don't lose touch with reality, and I'm glad to be reminded of it

Gotta love that Testament, of all people, released an openly anti AI song

Also, the fact that the game has no true gameplay loop is also very much meant to be

The game assumes you fight the thingies cause fighting the thingies is cool and fun, so you don't really need much mechanical incentive built in outside of it

Vitoria, Lamashtan Mage @vitoriafaria27.bsky.social · 1d

There very much are rules for fleeing encounters thou, as in, you turn back and use your actions to run away

It works better and more consistently than having bespoke rules IMO

My Age of Ashes party had to flee several times in order to not get killed

Vitoria, Lamashtan Mage @vitoriafaria27.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, this is one of the main selling points of the game, so if you don't like it, there's no real way around it

The very concept of "adventuring day" barely exists, and there's no true automatic pacing mechanism out of encounters

It's not a game of attrition and it's not meant to be
