Honestly, my main motivation here is to pick all of your brains to see how many different category-words there are, then change my game plan to react to the natural language words. For example, if we didn’t have words more specific than Animal, Plant, Fungus, and Bacteria, I could slap a four-color mana system on that and call it a day. Obviously that’s not the case, but in the unlikely system that I can describe all of creation using only 20ish names i could imitate Cardfight Vanguard and make them into a sort of clan system and do lots of clan-exclusive comboing off each other. Any more than that, I imitate Magic instead: certain cards care a whole lot about types (e.g.: Kavu you control are red in addition to their other colors, Red creatures you control have haste) while others pay more attention to subtypes (e.g.: Tap 12 Allies you control: draw a card) and other just don’t discriminate, affecting everything or nothing.

God damn it how did I forgot rodents exist‽ I have three rodent pets in my living room right now and I talk about rodents all the time!

When I was a kid, I was legitimately afraid of this

I use the pride flag

Whats the “if you know you know”?

What the fuck why is this correct

You know how Apple has their own charger, their own messaging app, and some other stuff just so that they are different? Because fuck the rest of us, I guess? That’s bluesky, relative to fedi space.

God I wish Harris was a radical Marxist

Just change your last name to Et Al.

I don’t get it

Actually, there was a big culture in rural areas to just fuck with cops for fun, and the best way to avoid being arrested is to be faster than the cops.

Enought people agreed with you that they were able to be parted from their money in great amounts

This is about as good as advice as “encourage conservatives to forage for mushrooms with Google Lens”

Yes. Its part of the penalty system. If the batter fails to hit a ball that they could have hit, they get a strike, and they get three strikes before they have to go to the back of the line and let the next batter swing: if 3 batters strike out, the teams switch. If the pitcher throws so poorly that the batter would not have been able to hit the ball without lunging for it, the pitcher gets a “ball”. Four balls means the batter walks to first base (and everyone else walks to the next base). Unlike batting, pitchers do not rotate when they accumulate three balls, because pitching is so physically demanding that switching them out is already a regular process.

Easy enough that I had to read your comment a few times to read it with the non-aggro tone you intended lol

The hard part is when there’s a community built around a game system with its own traditions and rituals. That’s never in the books. This is only an issue with bigger systems like V:tM, Pathfinder, and Shadowrun, but you just need to learn to play them from other people just like you learned to play D&D.

The Hammer and the Anvil in my ass

My old irl group had a lot of diversity in the games we ran. My personal favorite was Trail of Cthulhu

Everything is correct except the last line, but only because I have poured a tremendous amount of effort into it (and I still slip up sometimes). Making the person I’m talking to not feel judged or condescended to is actually my most well-developed skill, very important for the education field.

My character is 17 (actually 23 due to dimesional fuckery), has published a math textbook, and is trying really hard to not murder people anymore. He’s also firmly on the blue and orange morality spectrum, loves teaching literally anything at any time, and is disgusted by the concept of the afterlife. Fun guy. Wonder what a therapist would make of him
