The more news I read about vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2, the more I think it's a big mistake they're calling it bloodlines 2.

This still does sound like it might be a pretty good vtm game, but it does sound like it's going further and further away from what made bloodlines bloodlines.

It would be a shame if it's genuinely good but gets fucking shat on because it isn't what people are hoping for with "bloodlines 2"

Goth gf with huge flying buttresses and the tallest spires you've ever seen. Don't even get me started on her gargoyles and those RIBS!

[dastofu]

Call her pussy the dungeon of fear and hunger because oh boy watch out

It's hilarious how a dude who made mildly entertaining but mediocre medieval weapon discussion videos turned out to be a fuckin ridiculous podcast reactionary "conservative" that decided princess peach wearing pants was the woke hollywood communists going too far

Okay but as an art student it is extremely fascinating that we today are still expanding the attributes of gods like that. The dodgeball can now signify apollo, specifically his aspect of prophecy. That's hilarious.

I got this vinyl record player/turntable in really good shape from my Grandmas old stuff, and it still works well. Now I'm gonna have to look into getting some actual records from bands i like, preferably used stuff.. didn't know the recent nostalgia many of us seem to be feeling about physical media and stuff would lead me here, but oh well..

This lackadaisy thing is making so many people horny for cat furries. Really fixing the damage done by cats 2019

[dastofu]

Instead of "I could fix her" people be like "I could wash her"

Or maybe people are nasty and want her stinky, you never know with weebs...

why do they keep making bunnygirl figures of power chainsawman. that girl doesn't shower

Very gender affirming that tumblr gives me ads for both viagra and birth control pills lol

[dastofu]

Is there a way to get rid of the "Soandso posted for the first time in a while" activity notifications? I hate them, they are annoying

[dastofu]

So like with discord absolutely hell bent on enshittyfyinf itself, are we gonna be able and consequently say fuck that? Element is right there as an objectively better open source alternative. If yall can not be fucking baby's like yall are about mastodon, that could be a viable alternative.

Ok big grain of salt on my opinion, since I have not actually played any of the others, and just read parts of their rules and lore, but tbh that is what makes vampire much much more appealing to me than the others? It's self contained enough to not have to care about stuff in the wod I don't find fun, like the wyrm or the technocracy. That kinda stuff is honestly not adding anything for me. The interpersonal drama, the ways those undead freaks are often the cause of their own misery, that's fun and interesting and cool, and the looming apocalypse scenario also being vague and nebulous enough to possibly be nonsense is much more appealing than the simple answer of "everything bad is a manifestation of the wyrm, and also all these different religions, mythologies and creation myths can all be related back to this one true thing that is happening"

it's funny how once you've played enough of the non vampire WoD games, it becomes incredibly apparent that kindred are so self centred they think the whole tellurian revolves around them. Out here acting like their immortal petty fights and politics and street level depression is more important than... Idk.... The potential entire unraveling of the universe? The spiritual destruction of the umbral realms? Humanity slowly degrading into poorer and poorer health due to corruption? Oblivion growing day by day to eventually consume all?

Kindred are so dumb. Put down the politics for two damn minutes and help everyone maybe??

It should be illegal for cool shops with amazing cute little trinkets that appear on my dash to not ship to my home country.

Blueballin me with perfect gifts for friends I cannae get, rude.

Fuck that one ad in particular that starts out with some "satisfying asmr cutting wood and soap nonsense", probably stolen from who knows whomst, that then after like 2 seconds transitions into the shitties multiball breakout clone game you've ever been forced to lay your eyes upon

[dastofu]

I am haunted by possibilities and uncertainty.

why does time progress,

why do we tether our human experience to such a concept as fucking jobs,

and where the fuck is my weed legalization

[dastofu]

You'd think so, but from what i've seen the "federation" that they gotta keep up to stay properly connected to the whole network does keep a lot of that in check, by them having to get along. People on unchecked powertrips simply get muted or defederated by the other mods, prompting many of their users to move servers (which is also a thing you can do, usually keeping your archive and followers etc.)

And like.. I'd much rather have that, than everything centralized with one asshole suddenly deciding "actually fuck journalists who report on things i do!"

Idk it's hard and confusing, but so far that stuff seems at least like something interesting and different from the monopolies that things like youtube, tiktok, facebook and twitter have become *shrug*

Cohost is also cool, they can program little games and winamp players in their posts and are headed up by like a coop or something. Everything that's got a fuckin manifesto is immediately better than a typical corporation lol

Ngl mastodon just sounds like twitter conceived by overbearing discord mods
