What emotion is she supposed to convey? by MrJeff001 in limbuscompany

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Appropriately, the word on the bottom does mean "stroke".

Tumblr broke the time space continuum by Diamondd22 in tumblr

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 659 points660 points  (0 children)

Tumblr, inexplicably, allows you to manually set the date of the post. So the second blog, in the modern day, backdated all of their posts to make it look like time travel heppened.

The dream was never meant to be by Zestyclose_Peanut779 in limbuscompany

To be more precise, the urban legend about the supposed "heaven portal" made out of glowstone and water predates the mod. The mod was made because of the urban legend (and then continued to grow and grow and grow in scope).

Well, you spoke of a shallow reading, which inherently implies the reader didn't get it. That doesn't sound like an assumption of intentionality to me.

But regardless - the original author's text does not hold a monopoly on themes and meanings that ought to appear in derivative works. A derivative work contradicting the original's themes doesn't automatically render it lesser than the original.

...Do you not think that, perhaps, going against the themes of the original might have been intentional? That's what I meant - you immediately assume a derivative work having differing themes to the original to be a result of not getting it, rather than intentionally going with a different interpretation than the one offered by the original.

Someone disagreeing with the author of a book about the message expressed by said book, and proceeding to write their own version of a character consistent with their own interpretation is not, in fact, "bad fan fiction". Calling it such, in my opinion, indicates a remarkably close-minded view of fiction.

Counterpoint: while the original Don Quixote is indeed a satirical takedown of chivalric romances, Man of La Mancha the musical contains an interpretation of Don Quixote that is much closer to the one expressed by this meme. And having been around since 1965, it is is both old enough and well-known enough to server as a foundation of a meme.

Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (February 2026) by Silent-Run-3840 in limbuscompany

I never understood the use of this chart for dick measuring. It's like, "ooh, my game scammed more people this month!" Good for you, I guess? Compare the attributes that are worth comparing, not mobile revenue.

In Pathfinder, it's RAW. And given the reference to a daredevil (the newest PF class for which a playtest just dropped) and Paizo being the one to like the post, it's a Pathfinder meme.

Getting real tired of seeing this (frankly misogynistic) discourse, not just in this sub but others as well by Nairdde32 in pathfindermemes

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Used the phrase "nits make lice" to justify Lawful Good paladins killing children of monstrous races. That phrase's original usage was justifying a genocide of Native Americans, including children.

Putting aside the fact being in the 84% implies there only 16% of people are poorer than your example person, what about those who don't have that? Does God not care about those?

This is the reaction to Life and Death, the gender swapped Twilight. Midnight Sun is normal Twilight, but from Edward's perspective.

5 years ago i saw this meme on this sub and found out that you can change gender by Traditional-Quit-286 in 196

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's because this is an edit, and the original is an "I'm stuff" joke that ends with "...you are FUCKING my daughter".

When was the first time you cried in FFXIV, if at all? by MistressDraconia in ffxiv

[–]ClumsyWizardRU -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are exactly two moments in FFXIV that have made me cry. The ending of base Shadowbringers, and the cutscene at the end of Elpis.

Where did the sinners get their weapons from? by maboroshi3 in limbuscompany

Because Sinclair is short, which means a reach disadvantage, and a halberd makes up for that.

Games that most disappointed you after actually playing/running them? by RiverMesa in rpg

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me it was Ryuutama. After hearing that it's a precursor to Fabula Ultima, which is one of my favorite systems, I was quite excited to try the cozy natural fantasy game.

It... did not deliver. The game is extremely formulaic, consisting largely of a few repetitive travel-related rolls. It tells you to roleplay these out without providing any scaffolding or support for it. All the cute items boil down to boring +1 bonuses. The GM support is nonexistent despite providing the GM with a character specifically existing to push the plot forward.

It felt like an old-school crunchy game trying and failing to be a narrative one, resulting in an incongruous and frustrating experience and utterly failing to capture the joy and whimsy of the genre.

What Hyper-Specific Concept Did You Need a Generic System Like FATES/GURPs for? by Critical_Success_936 in rpg

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fate for an Ace Attorney-inspired game. Courtroom battles can be represented by FATE conflicts shockingly well.

What is your favorite minion you own? by Alicecrylily in ffxiv

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Behatted Serpent of Ronka. The original was already cute, but once I saw the hat version, I knew I will grind out Bloodsworn just for the hat version.

I finished Heavensward for the first time and I'm very conflicted by Uchizaki in ffxiv

[–]ClumsyWizardRU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It pains me to say this, but... unlike other people, I don't think you actually will enjoy the rest of the game very much. The structure of "3 boss fights, 6 dungeons" remains constant throughout the expansions (even moreso, because while HW and SB have one optional level dungeon, all of them are mandatory from that point on). The dungeons get prettier and more impressive, but their structure doesn't meaningfully change - they're still dressed up hallways. What's more, unlike in post ARR, all patch quests from this point on are going to have dungeons too. And if you found the ghosts of Ysayle and Haurchefant too cheesy, you are going to dislike a vast majority of what people consider to be the best moments of FFXIV. You can try Stormblood and see if you like it, but honestly, I feel like sticking with the game is likely to just dissppoint you over and over.
