@oathboundfamiliar It seems to parallel a lot of linux hate where yes, there are arguments to be had about user-friendliness, but it kind of seems like no matter how approachable we try to make it, the fact that there's any friction at all instantly disqualifies it.

And it's not like Windows or […]

The most seasonally appropriate example I can think of is Over the Garden Wall. It's ten episodes, it doesn't need to be more than ten episodes and I know ponies who's rewatched it every autumn since it was released.

There is something to be said for animated shows that last one season, says what it wants to say and then never leave your mind for over a decade.

To celebrate international lesbian day, write a poem so full of palpable yearning for a girl that the very place you live becomes a term for loving girls.

@xgranade I mean I feel like this line reads somewhat differently when you remember they have access to a spaceship...

What fascinates me about leetspeak is that even though though there are no rules or formalized grammar, you can usually tell by someones substitution choices what their first exposure to leetspeak was, Homestucks literally have a homestuck accent.

As for me, I'm worried the example of OG […]

|-|!6# 3|_173$/*3^|<: The original dialect of leetspeak, used as a form of steganography, uses the full range of symbols available on your keyboard with little to no consistency, you just sort of learn to parse it over time.

[re: discussion of anime lewdness]

I saw the writing on the wall after a couple of episodes, cus I'm familiar with the sort of otaku culture the show is riffing on, but I'm here for the maids and tbh I'm a little mystified whenever western anime fans see moe tropes in a saucy, otaku-oriented […]

[discussion of anime lewdness]

I think I'm starting to understand why the western anime reaction to Kobayashi's dragon maid was Like That. A lot of anime fans follow either the three episode rule (which I believe exist entirely due to Puella Magi Madoka Magica episode 3, if you know you know) […]

Thanks to Friendship is Witchcraft, I don't have to decide whether I want to be a robot or a pony, "robot who is awkwardly trying to pretend to be a pony" is an established concept in the fandom, all thanks to a recurring gag in a pony fandub.

There literally are people in the TTRPG fandom who think actually playing a game before reviewing it biases the review.

TTRPG youtuber attempts a bold new concept: actually playing the games before reviewing them.

Or, for that matter, to mean both "trans person" and "trans pornography".
owlor.meow.social.ap.brid.gy
The distinction between "identifies as a furry" and "is attracted to furries" is generally obvious enough from context (and the categories are blurry enough) that it doesn't actually cause that many problems in practice, but imagine how ridiculous it'd be if we used the word "trans" to mean both […]

[pornography mention]

I was thinking about this because I was reading a post from the cubhub admin complaining about a similar issue, namely the way people will take one look at the "cub" in their name, assume it means "cub porn" and then either get mad at them cus they think they host cub porn […]

Come think of it, the fundamental problem that causes a lot of the "Am I a furry?/I'm not a furry but..." hoof-wringing is that we're implicitly omitting a word from a phrase and then we argue with each other cus different creatures are filling in the missing word with a slightly different one […]

Help! I've been haunted by ghost foxies! The say they'll only stop awawawawing all over my house and knocking stuff over if the Fediverse giggles at comedy horror films for Ha-Ha-Haloween! :neocat_scream_scared:

One thing the designer of Slugblaster has talked about in interviews is that while the skateboarding is the most obvious theme, a lot of inspiration actually comes from being a DIY musican, the game owes as much to circuit-bending and eurorack as it does to skateboarding.

And I had a moment like that when I decided to set my game at a college. It was surprisingly easy to do dungeon crawling in an otherwise mundane universe when you can count on the players being college students sneaking into the steam tunnels underneath their university basically just to see […]

I like it when you can find one worldbuilding decision that makes your entire premise snap into place in a very satifying way. From what I heard, the designer of Slugbuster had a moment like that where he struggled to come up with a reason why teenagers would decide to start travelling to […]
