@GlitterDisaster the "himalayan salt works" name just looks like it's a play on unlimited blade works, that's all

diagnosing your computer, based on what noise it's making 

[silence]: computer is either working or broken
whhhhrrrrRRRRRRR: something big is loading
click... click...: your hard drive is about to die
BEEPwhhhrrrRRR... vzzzZZZZZZWHRRWHHRHRR: you inserted a dvd
BEEPwhhhrrRRRR... chick-whhRRRRR... chick-whhHRRRR: you inserted a gamecube disc
BEEP... BEEP... BEEP: stop messing with the motherboard
[beeps to the tune of the ussr anthem]: just because you can control the beep speaker from linux doesn't mean you should

@ItsMorgan 50 metres in one second is p tough for human, iirc. you might have to pick between archery gf and sprinting gf (or just get one of each)

re: queer terminology meta 

@myconidiosyncracy well, as you may have seen, some of us express that frustration by making up words for it. which then means there's a zillion words for it and nobody has a common basis of language, but y'know

re: queer terminology meta 

@violet @myconidiosyncracy futch scale sorta comes into play here, but that runs into issues because of the tendency to associate the terminology specifically with lesbians to the exclusion of the actual plethora of queer identities that use them

re: queer terminology meta 

@myconidiosyncracy personally fond of the stag/fox/swan division for this, but it's not very well-known and still only has so much room for not-a-binary-gender-presentation

re: queer terminology meta 

@myconidiosyncracy two sides of the same coin, really. masc enbies being excluded results in treating nb as inherently feminine and vice versa

the distinction doesn't seem to have much functional difference

@AnnieGal@mastodon.social we've seen some very complicated charts about specific labels for things like this but realistically it's more of a 'go with what works, adjust as necessary' approach

sometimes we get a very abrupt reminder of how finnish we are. usually it's something to do with:
• heat/cold tolerance
• sauna
• metal
• sisu
• 'oh right our name is fkn wolverine danger'
• nudity
• why tf does nobody know finnish
• why tf does anybody know finnish

most of these are the same thing really (see also: sisu)

cancellable music take probably 

@myconidiosyncracy off the top of our head, eluveitie, isengard, sonata arctica, and wagakki band feature....actual singing sometimes. there might also be metal without vocal parts, but idk if there's any bands that do that exclusively

re: twinning kink stuff 

@BestGirlGrace preaching to the—well, to the fae here. but really the important part is to play into what one's partner is expecting (or what they desire. both work) if you want results

re: twinning kink stuff 

@BestGirlGrace speaking as a shapeshifter, why would you argue about who's the fake when u can mess with people by acting like ur both the original. anybody resorting to something that unimaginative could use a nice helping of fun in their lives in my imo (and im correct)

yes i am fully aware of the implications of what i said

shadowrun, plural 

@Anarchist_Mallrat in this particular case, we'd call it a feature. not so much as in eldritch horror, maybe, but cyberpunk settings have a pretty strong running theme of "you are powerless to do more than try to survive". the issue here* seems to be that they overhyped something that didn't pan out and had to bail on whatever their intended projects were for it

*beyond cgl just being garbage as usual

shadowrun, plural 

one really interesting facet of the rather messy execution of the whole cfd storyline is that whatever freelancer was behind the fictional science of this definitely did some legwork on it. there's multiple instances where they make a point of distinguishing the effects of the virus from, as they put it, naturally-occurring did—at least once referring to it by name. that's....honestly, pretty incredible for the mess that is sr5e lore writing

cgl can go frag themselves tho

some people made it all the way up the stairs early and already forgot that they existed, some people made it but remember the climb, some people never even got two steps in

stop framing these things in terms of generational differences and start framing them in terms of relationships to power and you'll start understanding why there are millennial youtube millionaire fascists and 70-year-olds getting shot to death by cops while torching ICE vans
