This is what happened after 3.1 isn't it?

[mazeyphaedra]

was rewatching fabian’s baron moment on account of it being the most delicious piece of pvp in my recent memory and ally beardsley’s growth as a player just shone through so brightly and with such clarity. after dusting off their shock they immediately asked about the nemesis ward, had enough knowledge about fellow pcs stocked to remember adaine’s ac with such like frustrated confidence and certainty, suggested to siobhan to dimension door out of adaine’s room, like. they came into this making a character with 4 dex. and now the dice deity offered to roll a check to sense if adaine was in danger. making decisions, asking questions, getting invested in the story, trying so hard with the tools they have to save characters from danger; ally beardsley is an incredible d&d player.

Anaxagoras in the 3.2 story really just was like:

Step 1: commit blasphemy

Step 2: die

Step 3: ?????

Step 4: Profit!!!!

This man is driving me crazy

No one warns you that getting a Dropout subscription is a gateway drug to watching Actual Plays, so consider this your official warning that Game Changer is merely a honeytrap to trick you into watching people play DND. And I'm totally fine with that.

ally being a stabilizing force at the table rather than a supreme agent of chaos is truly wild to watch

ngl watching this one vod has permanently altered my brain chemistry. like i didnt realize ro and planet had trust like That throughout s5. its esp obvious during the void arc when it was "WE dont trust you", and not I dont trust you or He does not trust you. no wonder planet kept defending ro even after everyone else had given up on her bc her betraying seemed inevitable..........

Sorry, gonna have a little rant here.

I finally got my sister to play Infinity Nikki.

I've spent probably hundreds of hours playing the game and I just couldn't wait until she tried it too - the new update coming to Steam as well as introducing co-op was the perfect opportunity. I wanted her to experience the same magic as I did, I wanted her to get invested in the story, I wanted her to finally understand my insane ramblings about that world and my favourite characters. And to my surprise, she decided to check it out for my sake!

So I got to experience the new intro to Infinity Nikki with a new player. Ooh boy.

I don't wanna get into too much detail about what the changes were and how it differed from the version we got as older players because it can be easily found on YouTube. But I just want to say how it made me feel.

I'm not going to lie. I felt embarrassed.

The new player is just thrown into some big event, nothing's properly explained, and they spend most of the intro just yapping and yapping and yapping, lore drop after lore drop after lore drop. Momo's introduction was horrible and out of place, Ena was just another person that got yapped about by the Seer and appeared for a bit, there was no reason for the new player to care about anything... And after we were FINALLY DONE with Seer and Ena, we got teleported in front of the Stylist Guild to meet Dada. It was almost funny how within even more lore drop, she mentioned Faewish Sprites - "oh you must have seen them flying around". Yes, we saw them IN THE OLD INTRO. The new players don't even know what you're talking about!

Everything was just so long and overwhelming even for someone like me who already knew all of this stuff. My sister commented on the excessive lore drop and admitted that the tutorial made her very impatient. And I just felt embarrassed. Like, hey this is a game that I love and spent countless hours in! I promise it gets good! I swear the tutorial made sense at some point! We spent so much time with the intro that she didn't get further in the story than meeting Giovanni, and she didn't have time to explore anything that day.

It's not like the old intro was perfect, it's not like they didn't bombard you with lore and tutorials, but it was nowhere near what we have now!

I'm more of a story/character focused fan so I didn't really care that much about lots of complaints people made about this game before. Because at the end of the day I had the lore, I had the story, I had the characters, I had Chigda, and that was most of where I derived my enjoyment from! But this update is probably the first time the game made me upset that much. Which is ironic, because I made this blog because I was too excited for it. How could I know that we would get a retcon? That something I cared about a lot would lose its integrity?

It's such a shame that it came to this. The game was my comfort when I was going through difficult moments in my life. I didn't even mind supporting IN financially because I was excited about the future the game had for us. From now on I'll probably stay f2p until Infold actually changes some of their scummy behavior (the dyeing system is just. too blatantly predatory to ignore it) and listens to our concerns. Or until playing the game makes me feel the same excitement as I felt before.

So now what? I guess I'm just going to do my thing. Even though the direction Infinity Nikki goes to is disappointing for me, I still don't want to just let it go completely. At the end of the day, the characters I fell in love with are still very inspiring to me, I want to do so much stuff and I want continue engaging with what makes me happy!

I don't know how to end this, uhh, I hope whoever read all this has a nice day ^^

I didn’t know I needed incredibly high stakes Candy Land in my life until I watched A Crown of Candy but now that I’ve finished it? I need more of it. I need more political intrigue high stakes d20 seasons in general, Brennan, @quiddie

Seen a lot of people suggesting people make their OCs in the Sims instead of using AI (valid and I agree) but I would also like to suggest to people who don't know where to start making an OC: MAKE A SIM AND THEN GET REALLY INTO THEIR STORY!!

Most of my sims are basically OCs at this point bc I think about them in the same way. Obviously it being a game affects my ability to fully play out the story how I want but it also makes it way easier when I don't have the energy for full worldbuilding or unprompted development. Also I love decorating their houses and dressing them up and it's a great way to practice environmental storytelling.

Basically against the odds (basegame kinda sucking and the game being super buggy) I LOVE MY SIMS SM.

Everyone Introduced in Dimension 20's Fantasy High: Junior Year episode 14

[breannacasey]

every show I watched weekly for 5 seasons or more I've had moments where I was less into it and almost wished it would end. every one. except NCIS. been watching that show for 20 years and I do not get tired of it. it makes absolutely no sense but it's my constant. it's been there every week since early in my high school career when I was watching it dubbed in french. and it's still there into my thirties when I watch it in the original English as it first airs. when everything goes to shit, when I want it all to end, when I don't know what I want or enjoy anymore, it's always there. I get tired of other shows but not that one.

how much can i lie before somebody accidentally hires me and cant take it back

Guy friend: no because I'm having problems with this new girl I'm seeing

Me: let me ask a question that's gonna determine the rest of this interaction because if you're about to tell me this girl is up in your business in a way you don't like and her birth year starts with a 2, I will be forced to side with her and tell you to date someone with a fully developed brain like yours
