how am I only just now finding out Takashi Miike directed a k-drama this year abt a dude whose eye gets stolen by an organ-stealing serial killer whose exploits he continues to see through the stolen eye while he tries to chase the killer down so he can get it back????
oh, lmao, i assumed you already knew about that
I DID NOT
Did you know there's a Gilmore Girls / Hallmark-movie style ttrpg?
Warmer In The Winter by Will Lentz is a small town dramadey rpg that takes inspiration from things like Lifetime movies, The Good Witch, and the ubiquitous move-back-to-your-home-town-and-discover-the-holiday-spirit-via-a-local-guy films that characterize the genre.
It's Powered By The Apocalypse, which means the dice are simple but the rolls are weighted towards complications and misunderstandings. But there's no apocalypse here. It's cozy and low stakes.
There *is* still meaningful, big-picture conflict, but it's usually things like "they're going to demolish the town's historical cat cafe." Even so, the game builds tension and makes progress towards this bad outcome unless you all step in and stop it.
Warmer In The Winter doesn't tend to have physical conflict, but characters can still take damage in the form of emotional hurt. Honestly, emotional hurt feels weighty and impactful in Warmer in a way that lost HP doesn't in most games, and I think that's because of how much Warmer subtly encourages you to care about the characters.
Warmer is class-based, with a range of different Playbooks to pick from to decide what role you play in the story. Meddling neighbor? Everyman? Literal actual supernatural witch? All the established tropes are on the table.
I read a lot of rpgs, and I think most of them are neat, but I don't LIGHT UP at every one.
Warmer In The Winter is a game I absolutely lit up at.
The tone's clear. The mechanics are fun to use but easy to learn. And the game converts something I wouldn't've imagined as an rpg into a dang good rpg.
my brain literally like ten minutes ago - lol what if d&d was b&b and it was just like, roleplaying running an inn like the dragonfly
this post - (jazz hands)
me - holy shit, nice
I’ve rewatched the ad at least three times to try and figure out why some folks are angry with it and I’m at a loss. All I see here is: Be a better human. Set a better example. Encouraging strength of character and integrity over typical “machismo”.
“anti-male movement” i wish there was so i could join, boy plz
this ad highlights exactly what does NOT make a decent man. it shames bullying and sexual harrasment and it pissed the dude-bros off bc they hate the words STOP and NO.
how is CLIFFY B calling out fragile manbros, amazing
Yall remember when the Sherlock fandom and Transformers fandom got into a fucking fight
I need to see this.
What happened was that Sherlock had an episode called The Final Problem, which the fandom then abreviated to tfp. The problem was that there’s a popular Transformers show called Transformers: Prime, which is also abreviated to tfp.
It was a shit show.
The main argument was that Transformers: Prime came first and had the tag first so the Transformers fandom should be the ones to keep it while the Sherlock fandom told the Transformers fandom to basically get out and find a new tag. The Transformers fandom got super fucking pissed about it and pretty much spammed the tag as much as they could.
It didn’t last for very long but I’m pretty sure that the Transformers fandom won because the tag is full of robots again.
Melee players have to cheat at their own game for people to take their game seriously. They disguise the bugs they exploit as “advanced tech” to trick people in to taking them seriously, but in reality they’re just glitching out a broken party game.
wasn’t there a tournament a few weeks ago where someone needed a controller with a specific defect that’s found in 1-in-50 gamecube controllers and is required to do a certain technique, didn’t find any such controllers in the tournament’s supplies and left because he couldn’t play competitively without it
Yep! The dude dropped out of the tournament because his controller wasn’t broken in a distinct way that gives him an unfair advantage.
In any other game that would be called “using a modded controller to cheat,” but fuck it! It’s melee! Melee is all about cheating!
whoever decides all the sound effects needs about a million awards
so, lazytown is abt a guy cosplaying as bruce campbell as evil ash in army of darkness?
“We cut a trough into the set, and we put a piece of rigging that goes under the set and into the mother’s stomach. It’s a little creepy, I know. But it allows us to slide her along the surface of the sand, and every time she reaches out and claws into the sand, that’s all a plasticine or clay surface that we have to carve into and move a frame at a time. We’d have little bits of sand that were flying up in the air, so we take these little bits of foam or clay, we put them on bug pins or wires or little bits of fishing line, and we have those elevated and move them a frame at a time to make it look like it’s bursting out of the ground.” - Travis Knight
literally impecable. Im losing my mind

Straight people out here shooting up their own fucking babies
this is the most white heterosexual nonsense ive ever seen
congrats! your smokebox was blue
this means you will birth a Denim Child
*Jild
I don’t understand why you are all so offended by this. They found out the genre of their baby by doing something they like to do. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE ISSUE HERE? WHY IS EVERYONE ON THIS WEBSITE SO HYPERSENSITIVE ABOUT EVERYONE ELSES LIVES. BACK TF OUT OF PEOPLES BUSINESS FOR FUCKS SAKE.
The genre of their baby
My child’s gender genre is 80s new wave
My child’s genre is paranormal teen romance.
Every time "the oldest" holocaust survivor dies, they always miraculously find a "new" oldest survivor.
Probably because the person, who was the second oldest living survivor before, becomes the oldest survivor when the previous one dies?
I wouldn’t call that miraculous.
Do people not know how death works or…?
This is the funniest goddamn thing
Do these people not realize that the oldest person of a group dies, it pushes the bar back and thus the second oldest becomes the oldest?
It’s like the runner-up in a contest.
Aging is a Jewish conspiracy, wake up sheeple
We can’t forget about such miraculous thing like that that everytime the oldest person on Earth dies, they always find a new oldest person after it. How is it possible? This is a real mystery.
I love that fanboys are calling Rey and Jyn Erso “Mary Sues” when
maybe these brave guys can ensure disney loses one third of the box office from just the imax screens from just the thursday night preview screenings again
this is astounding. it’s the polar opposite of what rick roll is, and yet you still feel rick roll’d because you ended up with something that you didn’t expect and are slightly frustrated by. truly a great twist on a classic meme, we have reached full meta-meme with this.
i am so angry
>:O
