I'm a technical writer and went to some pains to make sure that it's written in plain language. I believe that the entire scope of trans cultural heritage belongs to us all, and that includes discussions and analysis of it. =)

Honestly, a lot of that is a default Substack template. Most of the mods I did with it was colors and fonts.

Lmao, I'm not the spreadsheet girlie, but she is!
Anyway, I've got a very amusing Harlowe build right now that gives me a 100% critical rate (when my action skill is up) and refunds me ammo when I crit, so I never run empty.
It has led to some very silky things in game.

Legit. B and I love playing coop games that aren't PvP, and there just aren't that many, especially big ones with story.

She's not just smart at everything, she knows HER THING, she knows it well, she loves being a dork about it, and she knows her limits.
It's just... really good whole-character design. And I'm not even a particular Borderlands fan--I mostly think they're amusing and forgettable games.

There's a quest early where you have to do security bypass things, and another character asks if she knows anything about that. Instead of the bad-writing version where she goes "wellakshully," BL4 has her say "Thats... not really my area."
That's EXACTLY how folks with PhDs talk about this stuff.

It took a little work, yeah, but I wanted to emphasize the art, so I had to have a light touch. I thought really hard about doing the above-and-below effect, where part of the pinstripe is on top of the picture and part is behind, but it didn't look as good as it did in my head.

I almost always avoid gradients, but B and I do Red and Blue a lot, so it felt right here. And, with a lighter touch (like, on the pinstripe lines), it's not So Much, like it can be.
