the worst part about a breakup is updating the Google doc of relationships you have and realising they do now all have end dates

holy fuck, what a final, what a team

gutted for Heretics and benjy, but EDG have had a magical run, and the way they've slowly iterated and developed

ZmjjKK is him, Kang Kang is the protagonist

A beautiful capstone to a wonderful season

Also! No repeat Champs winners or winning regions, absolutely wild (EMEA, BR, NA, CN)

favourite rpg trope is the merchants in incredibly hostile environments. we are at the evil curse mountain and youre just selling me items normal style

I was unpacking my room, shifted my nightstand and a load of cards fell out the back

These are from over two tenancies before mine (as per the inland revenue notice) and it was just such a strange slice of someone's life to fall out of there

Bless Jim, whoever you are, and were

Also, Ascension is looking spicy across the world for VCT

With SPG beating NS (rip yoman :(( he tried), we've got such an interesting array of teams in Pacific- ofc DSG are headliners, but JFT, RNT, then Oblivion Force all being reasonably outside chancers are in, and tomorrow we have great choices in Riddle/Fennel, AE/Boom, FS/MiTH and ZOL/NAOS

as well as a huge variety of awesome players, SkRossi, Juicy, then maybe CGRS, Witz, Famouz, etc could help capture a wider audience

It's a similar one in EMEA where again, it's a really wide range of teams, with a good number of ex-T1 players filtering back; GoNext with world champion zeek is fascinating (and alexiiik being majestic), Joblife with kamyk, Barça taking KPZET from FKS and Vorwenn through from Fortnite; SAW having built a new roster coming up against Fizzy now on MOUZ, and more

AMER isn't set yet, but still looking very interesting (also yes, pollo on LAN babyyyy), and CN is a wild wild land- interested to see how the former awful people from ME do on ZY, but surely KeepBest or XLG make it

Yes VCT has its issues, but T2 is so interesting atm

Honestly though, my ex had someone murdered with a katana outside his house a few years ago, and with all the recent crossbow murders in the UK I think we should definitely be examining the status of lethal nonfirearm non-knife weapons

Obviously as a headline, ridiculous and hilarious but I am quietly concerned about the trends

Wait what was that last part

I'm not like a Little Monster or anything but I will always have some fondness for Lady Gaga for giving the single greatest response to someone asking her to enforce transmisogyny by holding her cisness hostage (by asking if she has a penis a.k.a if she's a tranny) : "Would it be so terrible?" A bisexual woman earnestly putting a mirror up to the cis gay man who thrives in respectability politics interviewing her, showing him the simple kindness that he lacks towards trans women thanks to society's transmisogyny. Why should it be an insult? Why are we treating this question as a threat to a woman's value? Stephanie refused to engage, pure and simple, even if it shocked people that she didn't protect herself by upholding transmisogyny and I think that's one of the best things a cis woman can say to truly counter transmisogyny.

Brb establishing this as fantasy lore...

But also this implies that chickens are not directly hatched from eggs, or are a sentient flower of the egg plant?

Or the egg plant is separate and just happens to make fruit with the texture of eggs adjacent to chickens

Or chickens are a form of lesser cursed dragon like how they're vaguely dinosauric

Lots of possibilities are bespoke by the egg plantations

i think it says a lot about society that they can't even keep the olympics stocked with eggs. they may also have to cancel swimming events in the seine pending further bacterial testing, but that says more about paris specifically. it does say a lot about society that the rivers in portland and sao paulo are also polluted but these concerns are very unique, individual, localized, and difficult to predict and remediate, in a way that not planning to have enough eggs for the olympics simply isn't. i can sympathize with the unfortunately disgusting and messy realities of water quality in a large city but i find it hard to even conceptualize that nobody in france said "ah les jeux olympiques arrivent, il est temps de planter plus de poulets"

Hey, I've started doing the legwork for this silly lil project because I figured tumblr was the best place for it :) Will keep it updated as it progresses but for now is just a holding page with a silly name

so i had a silly idea a while back to make a truly comprehensive TEW Fantasy database in the vein of Diablo X,,

it turns out this is a huge amount of work.

however, i'd done all the research for it and compiled an immense list of possible wrestlers and talent, and don't want it to go to waste

i adore ai-games and simulations, and a super tournament featuring all these wonderful characters sounds great

so i looked for a range of methods (SSBU miis, Civ 5, Hunger Games sim) before stumbling on a little, formulaic death battle GPT. awesome.

so, this will be the Fight Fantastic, and i hope you enjoy. I'm currently working on the formatting and setup, and will share more soon

So, to start with, fuck Saudi esportswashing

But OW2 at the Esports World Cup having a South America qualifier is wonderful and seeing basically every big hitter in SA reform for it is amazing

And They Say, War Pigs, Dignity are all back and more and it's wonderful to see- EWC will be the first SA team at LAN since Atlantic Showdown 2019 and that's a travesty

Even those who are supposed to be on our side, namely Stonewall UK and Mermaids, have picked up a shovel to help dig the mass grave for trans youth in the UK to be buried in

With the Cass review coming out and everything else going on in the UK at the moment I just want to remind everyone that if you vote Labour you're a fucking scumbag and you deserve every bad thing that happens to you.

Trans rights are human rights, if you accept the bullshit of a bigot that encourages conversion therapy you're a fucking moron, and are being actively complicit in the genocide of trans people in the UK.

Starmer's Labour are just Tories in a red jacket, and the only good Tory is a dead one.

Hilary Cass was a specialist in paediatric disability, so why the fuck anyone thought she was qualified to look at the gender identity service, I don't know. Certainly she has a very poor understanding of the concept of medical consent.

[skysovercast]

the cass review into gender care on the NHS is depressing in many ways, but one of the most nonsensical aspects of it is how they’ve chosen to define a child as anyone under 25:

so you can vote, join the military, pay taxes, get married, have children, attend - and finish - university but you’re still not a mature adult capable of making life-changing decisions

plat chat discussing the value of gekko's wingman as food is my new favorite terrible discussion of the week
