You know it’s summer when all the gay furries on my dash are drawing their sonas with popsicles sitting in front of fans

Random WOT question for you and your followes that I was thinking about today while cooking stir fry: where did Nynaeve learn to use chopsticks? Did she learn at the White Tower or did she just figure it out on the spot? Or are chopsticks a thing the Two Rivers and Mat's just an idiot?

my headcanon answer is that she learned in the borderlands (maybe in the scene with lan's malkieri family??? i don't remember what they're eating in that scene) and since mat didn't come to the borderlands in this turning of the wheel he's the only one of the ef5 who didn't pick up how to use them, but i'll throw this one out to the crowd, what do we think y'all???

Would you recommend mtg for people who want to get into card game dev

i wouldn't "recommend" it because that's like -- i don't even know, i literally can't think of another medium with one work so foundational to the genre. every tcg/ccg of the last 30 years has been directly defined by magic in some way or another, whether by its influence or by deliberate attempts to escape it. magic is also uniquely easy to learn from because it's lucky enough to have mark rosewater, a guy who was intimiately involved in its design from a very early point and still is, write hundreds of articles going very deep into nearly every aspect of its design process. if you seriously want to design trading card games i think you need to look at magic: the gathering.

if you're designing another type of card game, like... a boxed, tabletop style card game, i still think it's going to be extremely valuable to look at magic, actually, because it has 30 years of experience to learn from with things that are quite universal to the form of a card: going through its history you can see its designers starting to understanding how to convey information: how to standardize templating for clarity, how to use evocative design to teach players your rules, how card art can signpost a card's mechanical elements... yeah. love it or hate it, i think you need to go play some magical gathering.

My casino has new top-of-the-line technology to stop heists: a montage detector. If those bastards want to break in and steal my money, they’re doing it as part of one, long take

giant redwood trees really are so cool, they just have something incredibly special going on. it's hard to describe if you haven't seen them

no one asked but I guess this. Everyone go watch "Night of the Hunter", Charles Laughton's 1955 singular directorial credit.

6 OCs Stylization practice! Man, I put these off for too long. Wanted to do more with them, but I kept running out of time, so I figured I'd post them as is. These made for good practice tho, I am incredibly satisfied with how they look - IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Roberto belongs to @requinoesis Ben belongs to @tofuliciousart Marco belongs to @dibuuart Rudy belongs to Ploomy Paz belongs to @wyntonyang S.A.L. belongs to @possessedpasm

I really want to write at least a little about my hare-cursed paladin as Tav, mostly because I think Gale assuming he's a normal harengon could lead to a funny interaction but I think it would also be fun if his family tried to tag Gale in on the curse years ago and it didn't happen for whatever reason. So there's a "huh we almost met years ago" moment.

But also, a big part of his whole deal is about letting go of the idea that you can go back to your life before The Thing like it never happened and have to learn how to live in the now. Highly optimized personal philosophy for a party full of people literally/metaphorically cursed even before the tadpole.

He's also a disowned noble suffering under a transformation, so... Wyll.

He fits extremely well with just about all of the origin characters except for Astarion.
