Ace/aro, they/them of mayhem, artist, writer, techy, a modern Renaissance them.

So a random gaming memory came to me about the PS2 Hulk game and I am like why doesn't Insomniac make a new Hulk game? Then I remembered that the US Military funds most of Marvel Cinematic Universe so they can't show the US Military being destroyed by an Angry Scientist.

I think the issue with Warcraft 5e is the design was aimed at getting Warcraft players to play D&D rather then try and emulate the feel of Warcraft. Like they lost me at Shamans are Barbarians, like not even close, shamans are master of the elements not a ragoholic murder machine.

Back to path/starfinder questions. Anyone have a 2E Ancestry creation guide? Or somewhere to point me in the right direction to get started? I wanna atleast give some of my legacy races some love that feel like they would fit right into Starfinder.

I really shouldn't get into arguments on why "canons" are a bad story telling technique and an unreasonable standard to hold to stories and story tellers. Usually canons are used by fan(atics) to justify hatred.

There are a million good reasons to support copyright abolition but if nothing else I just want to destroy Disney's ownership and hoarding of so much culture. Especially because they started out animating so many folk tales/stories in the public domain, which they're now trying tirelessly to kill

Copyright has destroyed the artistic process. Every single artist throughout time has lifted and modified previous works, sometimes WHOLESALE from previous creators. It's always okay to use previous works as a springboard if you are human. If you are computer...halt and catch fire.

I wrote THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO JAPANESE YOKAI as a one-stop shop book that ya'll with a passing interest could read to learn about the subject. I see so many posting yokai art, playing yokai video games, watching yokai anime... you should probably learn something about them! amzn.to/4A1HZq8

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

@alanahpearce.bsky.social As someone who knows more about the gaming industry, do the higher ups just don’t listen anymore or do they just have selective hearing? Do we need to throw physical money at them and tell them “we want just a single player game, no multiplayer.”

This is called double-speak. Many transphobes, even vehement ones, insist that they support trans people. The problem comes in how they define “support.” Notice that the definition still puts them at odds with every movement to let trans people incorporate safely into public society.

JK Rowling issues surprising message of support for trans adults www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

This doesn't change anything, by the way, we're still not watching the garbage fire wizard show or even acknowledging its existence at all once it's airing. They are going to try and provoke reactions with inexplicable creative decisions, do not take the bait.

The fact that HBO compelled even this lukewarm non-apology out of one of the modern world's proudest and more powerful bigots means that her hatred is actually affecting their bottom line.
