Carcosa? The monstrous city at which unspeakable horrors are done in name of the great old one Hastur they call their leader? Great. How much is the average rent price?

The king of Carcosa will eventually consume and destroy the entire city with everyone in it when the time comes to increase his power? Well that's every politician ever for you, tell me something new.

The entire city is populated by a cult that worships the King and they often do unspeakable horrors in his name? Yes im aware with how political parties work

The nearby lake of Hali is said to be inhabited by a being of unspeakable power which sometimes comes into conflict with the spawn of Cthulhu at that lake? YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS PLACE EVEN HAS A NICE LAKE TO SIT NEXT TO!? And yes I am also aware about how tourists can be annoying sometimes.

Your spooky "Black stars on a bright sky" you keep mentioning imply there is little air pollution, since seeing a large amount of stars in a city is often wishful thinking. Housing crisis considered this place doesn't seem half bad

Incredible power move to make one of the most beloved crpgs ever made using a modified dnd 5e system, make a ton of money and shit on most AAA game studios in the process, then say “cool. Anyway fuck dnd 5e and wizzards of the coast. We’re doing our own thing now.”

The saga of the car continueth - this time we're at least getting closer to things being fixed, though (was supposed to be pick-up today, but it turns out there's still some work needs doing). So, given it's the end of the month, and given it's not going to be getting /less/ expensive with the additional fixes, wouldn't say no to a wee hand with the finances if you've change to spare.

the problem with almost every attempt to guess what kind of modern music elves would like is that the venn diagram of people who make posts about elves and people who are pretentious enough to match an elf's taste hasn't formed a near-perfect singular circle in two decades

the problem with dragon's dogma is that it's so blatant with its nihilism-poking metaphors that you sound completely unhinged when you point out basic things like "the ur-dragon is a play on words, meant to be read as ur-dragon, as in, the original primordial concept of the dragon as the demon against which power must be discharged" and "the city that exists as a comforting existence in despair is named after søren kierkegaard"

actually vampires are real and I know all of them and they said they won't come out until everyone agrees to be nice to them. I told them I'd tell you guys that so if we could just get 8.1 billion likes on this so I know everyone's cool then we can have vampires

Calling myself out

[erisacolyte]

I want emo versions of idioms

Like, instead of ““you’re barking up the wrong tree” it’s “you’re panicking at the wrong disco”

[erisacolyte]

Keep seeing pronoun positivity posts is about he/they and she/theys. That's cool and all but this one's for the she/hes. If you're a she/he I love you and you can take as much mint as you want from our garden

I thought "What if the smaller theropods acted similar and bit like tyrannosaurid tails"

Hey guys! The future of the Chandra telescope is currently up in the air (no pun intended). The US government is planning on massively reducing the budget for Chandra’s operations, which would cause them to lay off about half their staff. Future planned budget cuts can possibly end its mission altogether. The staff are government workers and cannot lobby for themselves (which is why I’m trying to spread the word 🙂 ).

You can read more about it here

Basically they ask for two things:

1) contact your representatives (if you’re American)

2) sign the in-progress community letter to NASA and Congress (you do not have to be American for this!)

Please sign, contact representatives if you’re American, and share with folks!

Chandra has a decade of mission time left and is continuing to produce amazing data for astrophysics research. Cancelling it a decade early would be a tragedy.
