On Eldritch Beasts and the "Witnessing this descends you into madness" trope 

I hadn't thought of this in words before, but it's definitely a resonant feeling and I'm seriously glad someone did.

Also racists like Lovecraft and xenophobes of all stripes can get fuuuuuuucked

I need to actually stream and introduce people to obscure games so I can make weird jokes like "Cutie Mark Crusader of Centy"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: just because there are a lot of toxic people who like <field> doesn't mean _you're doing anything wrong by enjoying it_.

Video games satisfy engineers’ escapist fantasies of being handed well-defined projects with consistent requirements and clear scope / schedule / budget, declaring them complete and moving on once the acceptance criteria are met, and being rewarded with praise for their work

some reminders:

you do not need dysphoria to be trans

it's okay to explore your gender and land back on cis

when it comes to gender, "faking it" is a myth

Ugh. Gotta love people flipping out that Alienware now won't ship PCs to California because California passed energy usage requirements on PC hardware.

The real problem here isn't that The Gamers can't get their ridiculously wasteful jerkoff boxes. The real problem is the regulation exempts things that are actually concerns.

Datacenters and server hardware? Exempt. DIY gaming PCs? Exempt. Cryptomining? Haha dream on.

Sigh.

"If monsters are intelligent enough to be a character in their own right, treat them like they're actually people" is a rule I want stapled onto the soul of every RPG player on earth.
