I think a lot about this bit by Kazuya Niinou about how an RPG can be one thing on your screen and another thing in your brain
How to use your imagination When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat? If you ever catch yourself wondering that, then you know you've formed an attachment to your characters. With Etrian Odyssey's characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character, it's technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing. For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... If you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more. The essence is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those "numbers" with your own feelings, you can spice up the game a little. Think about this: In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left, and no TP. They're certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends. Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who'll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath? The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently. The game itself isn't that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds.

MMORPG players in Westworld: people torture the NPCs because they're not real and nothing matters Real MMORPG players in real games: for a while there was a rock with textures that didn't load in correctly so people made a pilgrimage to Smooth Rock

Metem Voice: "His Heart Weighs Heavy! Will The Tyrant Rise or Fall... In Love?!" 💓
#usurpertyrant
A parody poster of "Go For It, Nakamura!" of The Tyrant and Viria's Arcadion persona, Scarlet Scourge. It features a blushing and flustered Tyrant as he envisions his experience with Viria during their match. Her facial expressions range from wrathful, snarky, voracious, and cold - contradictory to Viria's actual personality. He is head over heels for her stage persona, often conflating it to how he views her outside of the ring. The Tyrant desires her harshness and crudeness, but learns through their eventual companionship that she isn't at all like she is when performing for an audience. Despite Viria's kindness and genuineness, This warped mindset has him ambivalent to his infatuation of her character as a whole.

Going through my silly collection
A humorous image of HP Lovecraft crying while someone passionately makes out with a fish man. The text reads "noooo you can't be sexuallu aroused by the unusual and "other" you're supposed to be disgusted and mortified by the unknown and the monstrous I hate women and minorities this makes me so upset" and "haha monsterfucker goes brrrrrr"

a 3 by 4 grid of squares, with the caption "Art Summary 2025". Each box has some art done by the artist for each month. There are a number of little sketches floating outside the bounds of the boxes.

Still frames from the Venture Brothers. I have crudely edited some of the words from the original dialogue. Dr Venture is holding a piece of paper and saying "Very cool artwork... Oh, A.I." Now Dr. Venture looks annoyed and says "Great. These pixels are all meaningless." A monarch butterfly is flying towards him but it is completely unrelated to the joke I'm making.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.

GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.

Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.
