Hi, I’m Raven. I post about random nerd stuff, periodic salvos at bigots and fascists, and lots and lots of #Pathfinder and #Starfinder memes, recaps, pics, and memes. Not a swear-free zone—I’m not gratuitous with it, but when the situation calls for them, I’m not gonna shy away.

No matter what class I’m playing, I have to actively force myself to take less than +2 INT. Skills are just SO good, and the INT skills are SO useful.
All INT classes are S Tier in #pathfinder2e because of how monstrously powerful INT is as a stat in this system, Reddit can go suck an egg.
Summoner and Exemplar are where they are on the tier list because I have very little knowledge of them.

![A sidebar from the Paradox 17 page, with a pair of SCP-style “researcher logs”:
PROPOSAL: CONSENSUS REALITY
“If we convince Paradox 17 that something false is true, will it become true? If, as we suspect, Paradox 17 is a form of wishcraft magic run amok or an unstable fragment of a progenitor Eldest, then in either case the result should”—[Transmission terminated at origin.]
URGENT MEMO TO ALL RESEARCHERS:
Until further notice, Paradox 17 is never to be defined in objective terms under any circumstances. Describe it only in indirect observations.

RECORDED CLOSE CONTACTS
* An affected deep-cover spy left a note: “Dreaming?” [crossed out] Too long. Simulation? Something has to maintain it. Anything this complex requires heuristics and predictable patterns. Unexpected responses might throw it off… reveal another paradox.”
* An affected Xenowarden called arresting agents “a sign my conscious life is plagued with anxieties about authority.”
* An affected security guard, sole survivor of a starship that Paradox 17 boarded, killed a recon team. All their recorders caught was, “Has my whole life been a dream? If one of you would just surprise me, maybe I’d finally wake up.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vtim7vyvoo6lmahswepnlfw6/bafkreiggxta2bifl4ntkuhyayw4h6dhgos234cvxpthxlphkf4onvs6a5y@jpeg)

Saw a preview for "Wuthering Heights" at "Frankenstein" other night. Looks pretty faithful to book, meaning I practically *cackled* when I saw it comes out VALENTINES DAY. I kinda want to hang out at a theater, watch the awkward faces on couples leaving their "romantic date movie".

Post movie selfie with my *actual* companion for the show, a long-time (platonic) friend and movie buff named Autumn. She took me to Crimson Peak back when, which I absolutely loved and wouldn’t have gone to otherwise, so this felt appropriate to return the favor.
