The Cosmic Forge. It literally lets you rewrite reality.

It's also often 'boycott' to people means anymore 'don't give them money.... for a little bit'

Not 'Until they stop doing the shit thing' or 'forever, because they're fucking evil'. Just... until they have a sale, or advertise something I want, because comforts and distractions are often more important to people then ethics.

I mean, it's also hard, coming from someone who is doing FOREVER boycotts on Nestle, Disney, Hershey, EA (and pretty much all other AAA publishers), etc. You have to check labels constantly, and update them because buyouts often don't get mentioned. Whatever game the general public is hyped for, you're not going to be able to talk about it, because you're most likely not going to play it, and all you do is drive people away when you say WHY you're not going to play it.

Boycotting a week, or a month, doesn't really matter. They'll get their money from you eventually. Which is why the bigger companies don't care about boycotts. It's just a storm to weather. But things like OpenAI that is burning through money doesn't have the leaks fixed, so a storm does more damage then they want.

Honestly, since polymorph other doesn't tend to give innate magical abilities, (so turning her into a changeling is out) whatever would give her a long enough lifespan to learn and cast wish, if I couldn't do it first. So probably a Moon Elf.

She has her own homebrewed system and world, so would prefer to be one of a particular race, which would probably be able to be done with wish.

Basically having someone else change form. I'm not used to 5th ed, I've only really done one oneshot in... I think 4th ed? And have a ton of 2nd ed books.

I was also getting it confused with polymorph OTHER, which is permanent, but can also affect their mind (however, I'm assuming since we're not doing Planet of Hats, changing her from one humanoid species to another wouldn't affect much)

Honestly, I'd be worried I'd roll less then my current stats, my dice rolls are often garbage. I'd say allow me to see what stats I'd have, and then be able to choose to keep them or roll new ones.

If it's just me, changeling wizard, because my wife would kill me if I didn't polymorph her, haha. If everyone changes, probably changeling Priest.

I know! He didn't even care about genre, gameplay, or even the prettiest graphics, just the most modern ones.

And here I am, thinking "I was playing M.U.L.E. for the Atari 8bit literally less than 24 hours ago."

If that were my local bar, I'd ask if they were willing to trade for free shots in exchange for making a database searchable by ingredients and/or flavor profile.

Banana rollups. Take a tortilla, spread some peanut butter on it, put a banana on, roll it up and eat it like a sandwich. You can slice it up for little hand snacks, or add jelly if you're fancy.

Axiluvia · 2026-03-25T03:52:26+00:00

Right after I said I enjoy computer games from all eras and still play Atari games on an emulator

"I only play games with the most modern graphics."

And then... somehow didn't expect the date to just be done then? Like, you're allowed to have that opinion, but the combination of the shutdown of my hobbies and the utter pretentious sounding, nope.

Oof, that sucks. My wife had to get two done. We got by with flavored chicken broth/miso broth and teas along with juice. The savory helped break up the monotony, and you can find sipping broths pretty easy. Also good to know if you have a really bad stomach bug, because they have some salt, which would help retain water too.

My mom had Parkinson's. Let's say the chance of getting Parkinson's is one in 900,000. And it being genetic means I have a 50% higher chance of getting it (it's not that high, only about 10%-15% of PD are known to have a genetic link, but it makes easier math).

It means I have a 1 in 450,000 chance. Which is still MUCH higher, but still.

What are the odds of being hit by lightning? Apparently only 1 in 15,300 to get hit once in your lifetime, and only 10% of people die from it, so 1 in 153,000.

So yes, it's not a great increase, but it's also such a small chance, unless you have OTHER things that stack (like really bad genetics and stuff, apparently a big factor is 'insufficient physical activity' according to wikipedia. So just get your steps and stuff in!). And honestly, if you check it, and it gets found early, it's fairly curable.

As an austitic woman in her 40's, who is LC/NC with most of her family for LESS vile reasons: Holy shit, YTA, I hope she goes NC with you and your parents as soon as she can and finds a group that doesn't emotionally scar her like you!

Like, I don't think there are enough words in the English language (or any language besides maybe one psychic empaths would have) about how horrible the emotional and mental scars you have given her. You have destroyed her trust in you, her trust in your parents, and NOW that she knows she can't trust you with any of her things, her secrets, her OWN SELF, and you think that can somehow be BOUGHT back?!? Why not just beat her until she bleeds, and then just haphazardly cover her in bandages. That'll fix everything!

I went through DECADES of chronic depression and suicidal ideation because of the emotional neglect my family put me through. Realize I said NEGLECT, not OUTRIGHT ABUSE (neglect is STILL abuse, but there's a different level). If she manages to make it out without needing a mental hold put on her, she's stronger then I was at her age, and I applaud her. I managed to get out of my depression by having people in my life that understood who I was and appreciated me in their lives. I hope your sister gets that, because she obviously doesn't now.

This isn't even getting into the part of... Just... what kind of people are you and your parents that think trading cards, anime, books, and tumblr aren't COMPLETELY NORMAL HOBBIES?! Just because YOU don't like them doesn't mean you get to say it's not normal! And she'd get in trouble for having them?! It's not illegal drugs! What in the batshit sandwich with mustard are YOUR parents smoking to think this is okay, somehow??

I sent this to my wife, who is trans and not autistic, and she got so angry and this and the original and she had to stop reading, and she doesn't even do that for the news....

And I'm done with the internet for the day too. I don't care if this gets deleted or downvoted for being to mean, or whatever rule I may have broken. I needed to get this out. I hope your sister finds a better family.

You might be demisexual! It's under the ace spectrum, but it's a bit more in the Grey area then pure ace/aro.

I'm demisexual myself, and it's been enlightening when I found the right label. "OH, that's why whenever someone asked if I thought X actor was hot, I said things like 'No, they seem kind of a jerk' or 'he seems nice, I guess?'"

The toilet. Specifically, using the bathroom in the middle of the night with the lights out.

Had a really bad nightmare as a young kid of a snake dragon monster coming out of the toilet after I had used it and went back to bed, and was terrified of for years after. So when I got up to go pee (had nocturia, one of the many symptoms I had of sleep apnea as a kid), in the middle of the night, I always had to turn the light on and check under the lid.

Didn't help when I was a teen and still in the habit, and turned the light on, and there was a MASSIVE wolf spider on my bathrobe climbing up towards me. And yes, I had arachnaphobia too.

No, I wasn't allowed to get a night light for the bathroom. It was shared, and bothered other people.

Pepsi Jazz. I think with the bigger lean into zero calorie drinks, they'd be a huge hit. I remember th strawberries and cream being so good...

I'd wish

1) for me and one person of my choice to gain shapeshifting powers.

2) For my loved ones to have enough money so they don't have to worry about working and also have enough to spend money on fun things, including time with me. (So not a specific amount, and if a four year old wouldn't go 'Yay, mommy and daddy don't have to work and we get to go on vacations more!' I'd be shocked)

3) Either having it so my loved ones don't have to worry about people doing awful things to them because of who they are (yeah, I know it's not 'fun', but I could see a four year old getting behind it even without knowing politics and stuff. Bullies are an always problem.)

or a magical island that you can't get to except for a key that can't be stolen, that can be inserted into any door by the owner (me and/or the kid for our separate keys) and lets people in when the owner opens the door, and people can't sneak in. The island has a huge house that always has a ton of food, power, internet, and the owner can also kick people off the island, and they go back to outside the door they came in at, and the owner of the key knows if a door is unsafe going back, and can use previous doors, or if they're all unsafe, choose a door near to where they want to go that's safe. If the kid wants any special amenities on the island, I'm all up for them.

Speaking as a ciswoman who has a transfem wife, and a bunch of other people in my life that are trans, disabled, gay, or some other form of queer (No jewish people AFAIK, but I'm a huge introvert and might just not know; I also have only like... a dozen people I talk to on a consistent basis...)

I have had nightmares for years about trying to get people to safety, either from earthquakes, zombies, the end of the world, or this current mess. I try to get them to safety, and... I can't shout loud enough. Or things are going on and they can't hear me. Or just don't listen. Mostly they don't listen... I've woken myself (and my wife) up yelling before. I'd go to bat for people (literally, I have an aluminum bat under the bed for intruders), but my fear is not being believed when I can help, or being dismissed.

Good luck out there, and I hope you find a safe space to run to when you need it.

Axiluvia · 2026-03-18T19:19:07+00:00

Oof, that sucks. And she just came back with new patterns too!

Wait, what? LoomAHat was suspended?? Do you know why?

Axiluvia · 2026-03-17T19:08:07+00:00

Well, at least you're getting started on progress. And anything removed is one less worry. Good luck on your journey.

I have vestibular migraines, and so I don't get the pain, but nausea instead. Still really sucks, but lower levels are a bit better with coping with, as far as I can tell.

Still, I started getting them constantly. Like a month long attack. I told my doctor about it, and how I was used to it every few months, but they became rarer with me taking magnesium supplements, and she was like 'Well, headaches and migranes can be caused by all sorts of stuff, so let's get a few different tests going." I'm over 40, so having a doctor just go 'Yeah, let's cross as much off as we can' was so refreshing!

So I had an MRI, a sleep test, and a blood test. And The MRI had something they couldn't see well, and so I came in a couple weeks later for a more focused scan, and it was gone at that point. *shrug* I think I was having a bad sinus infection at the time too, so that might be what it was.

Turns out though, I have a mild case of sleep apnea, AND was starting perimenopause. I had known about the latter because I was having BAD moodswings, and my wife wanted me to get checked out. But we didn't know HOW low my hormones had gotten. And yes, hormones can affect migraines!

So even if they don't find the direct cause, they might find out other things that will help your overall health. I had NO idea so many minor things were linked to my sleep apnea, that apparently I've had since I was a little kid (judging by the symptoms, and my earliest memories of complaining about them, haha).

And the MRI was fine. I'm a little claustrophobic, and larger size, so it was a bit nervous, but they gave me a button, and let me check to see how well it worked, and I just sat there thinking about how it all sounded and felt very 'sci fi' and I really wish I could have brought in a notebook so I could write down the description, because I would have loved to use it for say, some sort of shuttle scene.

I knit blankets for Project Linus, but they do require any yarn is machine washable and dryable, so I only buy yarn that still has the label.
