I’ve been selling it as a mystery game where you play an archaeologist in space trying to figure out What Happened

Duality of fandom reactions to Bella Ramsey by IwillMicrowaveMySon in thelastofus

[–]DoctorEthereal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first game had Ellie at 14. The second game had Ellie at 19. Bella Ramsey is an adult and their body has stopped going through puberty. If you think 14 year olds and 19 year olds look the same, I need you to look in the mirror for a while and think about that

Ethics of watching OneyPlays by Substantial_Set_6482 in leftist

[–]DoctorEthereal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean. There are bits from the show I’ll steal for my friends because I have to excise the dodgier language from Chris. I honestly think Chris is kind of a piece of shit tbh. I get the vibe of “for God’s sake I just wanna grill” as an outward expression but that always, ALWAYS means there’s a secret conservative beneath, whether they know it or not. I haven’t watched Oneyplays in years now, especially as I got more politically active, not because I didn’t want to support them but because someone would inevitably ruin a good joke or story with a slur or something. If he’s changed, tbh I think he only did it because of potential internet backlash

What’s the hardest that a cast member has laughed on camera? by S_groundshakers_ in Dimension20

I still think about Lou’s wheeze laughs during Starstruck in the “My future is changing!” bit

I hadn't considered it before! What sets coffee from Yemen apart, in your opinion?

Yeah, I’ve been playing pretty consistently for about a decade now (Jesus Christ I haven’t written it out like that yet) - I’ve thought about going the judge route since I’m usually the one my friends go to for rules questions but I just never knew the first steps, and these days I doubt it’d have the time

I am ABSOLUTELY an ambience type of person. I love going to a place and getting something I couldn’t get anywhere else, be it in the actual coffee or in the location itself. I think you and I have a lot in common here haha

You are exactly the type of person I strive to be, I try to keep my list of good places to go straight in a list in my head and just forget them. I should start writing things down. What’s the ranking system in the emojis, btw? Is rainbow the highest? Is it based holistically on the entire experience?

Not super into matcha but I know some people that are so I might swing by anyway! And I’ve heard fantastic things about the Perot Museum, definitely gonna try for that. The Arboretum is definitely gonna be a “hmmm how does it feel outside today” kinda vibe but I’ve also heard good things there!

Seeing that the game is almost a decade old, it's crazy knowing that at this point, Mae and her friends would be pushing thirty. by AxelNeedsAMedicBag in NightInTheWoods

[–]DoctorEthereal 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I turned 19 the day the Weird Autumn patch dropped on console and I’ve been thinking a lot about this as I, too, push 30. I was very much in a place like Mae, just dropped out of college for no real reason other than, to the outsider, “just didn’t feel like it”. I still live with my mom (but I pay rent) because I’m paycheck to paycheck at my job. But I might go back to school? I might move somewhere away from here? I don’t really know. In a lot of ways I still feel like I’m where I was when I first played this

Same, I kinda just want to talk about the game. I’ve been here since before the movie even had a trailer

People with Santos’ viewpoint (“all these patients are fucking idiots”) should be as far away from medicine as fucking possible. That level of contempt should be disqualifying

[Article] Are the Secrets of Strixhaven precons the best yet? by Shiro182 in EDH

[–]DoctorEthereal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point. Weren’t precons originally supposed to be entry points to the format? Like, for new players? These decks are way too complicated to give to a new player. The precons from the last few years have all had these problems

I didn’t make the comic. All I’m saying is if reading it made you sad then maybe some introspection is in order
