I could see this kind of idea being wildly popular for ttrpg dungeon masters. If you know anybody who owns multiple 20 sided die there’s a good chance they’ve done some amout of fantasy world building before

Isn’t oligarchy a loan word from the French language? Or like, if not a loan word I’m sure it at least has French etymology

Yikes. This makes me think of people who have hurt me

Oh no. No no no no no. I stopped having nightmares about this little fucker years ago. You can’t make me go back!!

The famed Wanksy approach?

Rupert Murdoch did come from Australia after all. Makes sense that you’d have exactly the same propaganda machine as we have in the US

What a cool use for an llm! I’ve been playing for about 10 minutes and I love it. I did get “Peter Scrunch” to admit to me that “as a large language model I can only access the information provided to me” when I pushed it on questions about Scrunch’s past

I know theatre existed, which is why I specifically qualified it as widely available/distributable. You cant just ignore half of the words I used when rebutting my argument then act like you addressed my point. The “dominance” of film and TV compared to other internet shareable media does not remotely compare to the dominance of print a few centuries ago; nothing else from the era even fits the modern definition of media. Print was the dominant form of media in the 17th century in the same way that your eyeballs are your dominant means of gathering visual information; there is literally no competition to be dominant of.

I think you misunderstood my point about financial ghouls; I’m not saying that I think early printed media was free of their influence, I’m saying that today I can easily access a huge body of media that exists without their focus grouping and “safe bets only” style of publishing monotony. This is significantly less true if I limit my forms of fiction intake to films and tv.

I think i should back up a bit; i don’t really care that you’re wrong about the relative influence of different forms of media in different time periods. I’m upset that your first comment extends an elitist epithet about a person not reading indicating the lack of a rich inner life. Acting like people don’t know fiction if they don’t consume it the same way the majority does is shitty and ableist, and that’s the message presented by your top level comment. So I guess like, if my interpretation of your first post is correct I think you suck and I’m no longer interested in speaking with you, and if not feel free to correct me and collect the apology I’ll owe you for getting vitriolic on the internet over a misunderstanding.

Kind of a shit take. Printed material was the only widely distributable/available vehicle for fiction in the Victorian era, which is absolutely not true of tv/film in the modern era. I generally avoid TV and movies as well; not because I don’t like fiction, but because I don’t like my fiction to be filtered by financial ghouls and focus groups clutching their pearls hard enough to turn their knuckles white.

Genitals and mouths were meant for eachother. Between your tongue and your nose you have two of the best sex toys ever invented just sitting right there on your face. All the time

What fucking ass for brains engineer wrote this dogshit code!!! I’m gonna scroll back to the header find out who wrote and give a piece of my mind to… myself x.x

I’ve never believed in god, but I think I can believe in saints now after Saint Luigi and Saint Javelin

I’ll say it. The poster you were responding to is a bigot. ‘Tolerance of bigotry’ is itself bigotry, as it breaks the social contract of tolerance in the same way that bigotry does. By validating bigots, you are showing the minorities they target that you accept the bigotry against them and causing the same kind of harm as the bigot did in the first place.

Is your airplane too chunky and lethargic all the time? Is your best friend going to die early of weight related complications?

Try farmers fuel tank, the number 1 fuel tank brand reccomended by 9/10 crew chiefs. You shouldn’t be the only one eating healthy

I had to be at the mag lab in Tallahassee semi regularly during my undergrad, where they would demonstrate the magnetic levitation of a frog from time to time. The place had systems with cryo pressure high enough to turn an improperly sealed hatch into a very deadly projectile for anybody unlucky enough to be in the same room

They actually have a special measuring device called a pom-pom-mollynocker to see how far your monocle pops out when they spring the surprise question on you. I reccomend starting a workout regimen of eyelid crunches and cheek-ups today if you really want to send that baby flying and impress them

I really wish this artist would just use a legible font in the speech bubbles. I like the art style of this comic but I skip it pretty much every time because the font is painful to try to read

Sounds like you’re smoking those millipedes through the wrong orifice my dude

Powder by Jeff lait. I think you can get it at a website called zincland or something?

It’s an old school roguelike that absolutely slaps, though its gotten significantly harder to play since the wiki stopped being hosted
