IT'S NO ACCIDENT THAT: You learned about Helen Keller instead of W.E.B. DuBois You learned about the Watts and L.A. Riots, but not Tulsa or Wilmington. You learned that George Washington's dentures were made from wood, rather than the teeth from slaves. You learned about black ghettos, but not about Black Wall Street. You learned about the New Deal, but not "red lining." You learned about Tommie Smith's fist in the air at the 1968 Olympics, but not that he was sent home the next day and stripped of his medals. You learned about "black crime," but white criminals were never lumped together and discussed in terms of their race. You learned about "states rights" as the cause of the Civil War, but not that slavery was mentioned 80 times in the articles of secession. Privilege is having history rewritten so that you don't have to acknowledge uncomfortable facts. Racism is perpetuated by people who refuse to learn or acknowledge this reality.

The part about hormone levels affecting decisions and attitudes is fascinating. It’s also one of the reasons I don’t buy most “upload human brains to computer” stories.

Our brains try to convince us that whatever decision we just made was rational, but so much of us is driven by chemicals, y’all.

Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it.

That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated.

Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

Alright friends, tonight's qotd is going to be a little different tonight. Given the recent news, I want to dedicate this one to all the devs who made BioWare great.

So, what moment(s) in ANY BioWare game meant the most to you? Why?

QRP or reply with your answer!

"Foreplay" is linguistic trickery that puts straight men's favourite thing first. It's all just sex.

It's quiet at work so I'm dropping more #art
And look what it is. More #dragonage fanart!
Individual images under the cut ❤️
Two mosaics made in green and yellow painted paper fragments (in 3D!) with a faux stone archway framing the top. Framed in wood and with its codex on paper and painted plaster placards on the bottom. From the Trespasser DLC for Dragon Age.

I drew several Felassan related pictures for DA Annual, this is one of the ones that weren't used.

Reposting with alt text this top-tier rejection of AI. “I will not suffer the horrendous pitfalls of sentience only to have some bean counter tell me with an idiot grin that charlatans have co-opted the only thing that gives our wretched existences beauty and purpose.” 💯
The quote: “Dock me points if you must, but I will not be party to whatever buffoonery has led to an institution of higher learning to proclaim that a silicon valley parlor trick is in the same goddamn zip code as the printing press in terms of human progression. You can go on all you like about how AI can be used as a springboard for creativity or whatever other filth these hucksters use to justify their snake oil, I do not need it. I write well. My command of the language is beyond that of most of my fellow students, if last semester’s peer reviews are anything to go by. AI is not Syrian steel, it is pig iron, and I will not dilute my craft by incorporating it into my works, no matter how convenient it may be. I will not suffer the horrendous pitfalls of sentience only to have some bean counter tell me with an idiot grin that charlatans have co-opted the only thing that gives our wretched existences beauty and purpose.”
