@jskellogg@tabletop.social Not sure what you mean, but I'm fond of having the players write down true rumors about their characters - one per other character, half good, half bad. Plus one more false one.
Then you distribute one of these each to the other players randomly.

Okey, here's a theory for why Disney is pushing Kylo Ren especially.
They want to establish Star Wars as "Disney Princesses For Boys", but out of the human, young characters Kylo is the only one who's white and male, and because they're still racist, misogynist shitheads that's the character they push on all the boys.

@shoofle Toys are one thing, but general merchandise... ?
I've seen kids who can't have been older than 10 with Kylo Ren on their t-shirts... and TFA was PG-13... ?
I dunno.

Also... Darth Vader committed/assisted in at least one genocide and Storm Troopers are often shown murdering civilians... I feel uncomfortable with them being "cool" , "for children" (apparently!), and... a commercial product in general...

It's so odd... on the one hand I've pretty much given up on (since the prequels, the sequels merely failed to re-ignite my interest), on the other hand it bothers me when they "change" "the lore" 😅
And on a third hand, even though it's probably always been that way, and I just failed to notice, I feel like Star Wars "sold out", since being sold to Disney?
Have there always been Darth Vader backpacks and Storm Trooper socks at the mall?

@clar@cybre.space I've been working on a userscript that changes the colors of either the bar, the button, or both.
But I'm bad at it so it doesn't work unless you paste it into the browser console 😦

@inmysocks @gingerrroot I have the same one and find it a bit underwhelming.
I'm interested in recommendations as well!

Case Closed/Meitantei Conan creepy pasta (if that's the right word) 

The parents of these children feign normalcy (except for "little" Conan's caretaker Kogoro, Ran's father, who simply fails to notice).
The Doctor has the children "solve crimes", which he elaborately stages with help of the police department, possibly under the control of the powerful business magnate Sonoko, and involving her friend Ran and her father.
It is unclear what sway they have over the police, as are their motives.

Case Closed/Meitantei Conan creepy pasta (if that's the right word) 

It is 2018. Shinichi Kudo has been missing for 24 years. His "girlfriend" Ran, now 40, still pretends to be a high-school student, enabled by her friend billionaire-heiress Sonoko Suzuki.
At the same time, Dr. Agasa continues his unethical experiments on inhibiting growth in humans, keeping a clique of five eternally youthful children around, only two of which show any signs of awareness of their unusual circumstance.

Super Mario Odyssey post game (spoilers, I guess?) 

Those last ones are made a lot harder by the fact that the controls are nowhere near precise enough and that the camera is almost constantly moving, forcing me to adjust the angle I'm running/jumping at.

And how the hell am I supposed to reliably pull off that hat-jump thing?

Super Mario Odyssey post game (spoilers, I guess?) 

I'm trying to get into the "post game" content of Super Mario Odyssey, and I find it rather tedious.

There's another couple hundred moons to collect, apparently, and a couple dozen costumes, one of which costs 9999 coins, and a number of super hard timing challenges and platforming stages.

@Miru Just had a discussion about this on Discord today!

One suggestion was to get a random NPC generator that automatically includes (random) descriptions, including eye-, hair-, and skin-color, and to *always* mention at least the latter two. Ideally the generator would generate nice, varied sentences for you, so it sounds natural.
That could probably be extended to relationships, too!

hot #dm tip:

Just casually toss in diversity with your NPCs. Elves don't have to be dainty and white. Powerful nobles don't have to be men or straight.
Use pictures/minis of POC elves instead. Have the Countess be with her wife during a scene.

It doesn't have to be a HUGE DEAL to point out, but it means a lot.

real talk:
climate change is serious, and we need to take serious, large-scale action to mitigate it.
when i say :bancars: #bancars , this is shorthand. but: don't be stressing about your personal issues, *like that guardian article says*, addressing climate change is about society-wide choices. and as a society, we have chosen cars to transport us. this is not about you, or your job, or your kids.
reliance on personal automobiles needs to stop at the society level. this is not about you.

When I fave a toot, it doesn't always - or even often - mean: "I like the thing you tooted about."

Very often it means "Thank you for sharing, I acknowledge your toot, and I think of you."

Great game, with only two flaws:
1) The "Damsel in Distress" plot they keep sticking with
2) The farther you get into the game, the simpler the levels get, or at least it feels like it.
The last level was was pretty much completely linear...

Finally finished Super Mario Odyssey!
The main campaign, that is. Probably not gonna 100% it, but there's definitely a lot left to do!
