CRITICAL ROLE VIDEO GAME IS NOT A DRILL
I will have to leave the Bad Place entirely before then, bc I'm already acting up in IGN's comments and the game is barely a twinkle in the eye.

Elon Musk trying to buy Hasbro to mess with D&D shows how out of touch he is with the TTRPG community.
Like dude, we talk about how much we hate Hasbro like every 6 months. Do you really think people won't make their own homebrew stuff/use old versions/seek other systems?

There’s nothing new under the sun yall.
Most stories are inspired by or draw from other stories, bc that’s how creativity works— you soak up things you do and don’t like like a sponge until they flavor your own work.
Most games are built on the structures of other games.

If I had a nickel for every scholarly angsty mage scientist who I ended up liking almost against my will who was later confirmed as aspec by their creators…
I’d have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Oh yeah, and we need to kill this idea that all tropes are bad and like of course, genres will have tropes, that's the entire point. that's what stories ARE, they have TROPES they are not inherently good OR bad, they just ARE*. And you can like or dislike certain ones, but that doesn't CHANGE them

Prepping for holiday meals really have you like on the most epic quests. You get everything and then are like 'oh god, I need chicken fat, baking soda, and a new spatula.' and none of them are at the same store.

The new BG3 path coming out is basically just free DLC, and I am stoked.
I can finally play all of my irl d&d characters if I want. And take pictures of then being adorable little problems

If there’s ever an Exandria video game… prepare for me to be insufferable. Like. The MOST insufferable. I will reach levels of annoying nerd you simply won’t be able to comprehend 😅

“Modern gaming” is dope as hell. We are just currently stuck in a deeply regressive social spiral and those tend to want to take art (which includes games and “new media”, now) back in time too.

It’s wild to me that the moment you have the time, energy and resources to pursue hobbies, there will be some a-hole telling you you shouldn’t have those hobbies bc they’re “childlike”.
Feel free to tell them to eff off, honestly 😇

Crochet Project: Bellara Lutare from Dragon Age: The Veilguard!
So it was only a matter of time before I started making Veilguard companions in amigurumi form! I accidentally bought the wrong color yarn for a custom Rook and decided to make Bellara too! #amigurumi #dav #veilguard #dragonage

Never has the two cakes theory applied more than Dragon Age: The Veilguard and BG3.
It’s TWO. CAKES. One cake existing doesn’t make the other cake bad. Have em both, have one, whatever you prefer.

Those who can’t do… gripe on the internet about other people’s creative output 😊
People really need to try MAKING something that requires actual effort. The endorphins are similar to a runner’s high.

UMG, which distributes Drake's music, made a statement:

Blocking is a boundary.
If you take that as an act of violence, that’s on you and says a lot about how you probably treat people’s boundaries irl.
