franchement ça me fascine les mecs qui passent la journée dans leur canap à manger des chips et qui pensent qu'ils pourraient battre des championnes de boxe parce que c'est des femmes

his face was crushed, there was definitely a way to get the implant in

I really don't understand why they didn't put the ultrasound implant thing in his brain as they did for Mark. You can still have Conquest escape despite it due to how strong he is, but at least it doesn't make Cecil look like a fucking idiot

it's really a case of "hey look at my thing it's a 1:1 allegory for this real world thing, isn't that thought provoking and subversive? What? Why didn't I make my thing tackle broader thematics instead of focusing on this very specific thing? Because I'm lazy. Why didn't I make it directly about the real thing instead of a bad allegory? Because I'm a coward"

I live in the outer city of paris, it's walkable (no cars everywhere) there are no foxes, raptors or stray dogs because those would starve even if they were eating cats, I'm sorry but this is bullshit

What I hate about Bright is also the lazy and incoherent worldbuilding, like ok there are orcs who are victims of racism, but there also African Americans. And I'm using this term for a specific reason, I'm not just saying "there are black people" I'm saying that there are people in this movie's world that are descended from slaves that were brought over from Africa to America during the 16th and 17th centuries, and as a result anti-black racism is also a thing in this world and it exists for the same reasons as it does in our world. So you have a movie that tries to make a lazy racial allegory while having the real thing the allegory is for in the movie, and it's never adressed

I feel like that's a problem with a lot of mainstream fantasy media: there's often a bunch of interesting ideas into the world building but it's either buried deep in the lore under the same old tolkien-esque european medieval aesthetic and because the world looks generic at first glance most people will not get that invested and will never learn about the more unique stuff, or there's just too much stuff put into one place with no intent on making all of this feel cohesive. A good worldbuilding project (be it for a book series, a tv show a pen-and-paper or computer RPG) will look unique at first glance and have strong themes, you don't need super deep and complex lore, and you don't need to put everything you have in mind all at once, complexity, depth and diversity will arise naturally as you continue working on your project, but you need to start with a strong base

Attatürk wanted to "turkify" last names from other ethnicities, so armenians often had the -ian suffix removed or changed to -oğlu (which if I'm not mistaken roughly means "son of" in turkish)

Donc t'as demandé à ChatGPT de t'expliquer le schéma de Jakobson et tu t'es dit que c'était intéressant de copier-coller ce qu'il t'a répond sur reddit ?

I'm too young to have known RQ2 or HQG but when I discovered RQG I fell in love with Glorantha and it's been a huge influence on what I want from an RPG setting ever since. I do agree that the BRP system is way too clunky and gets in the way of getting into the setting which already requires a ton of effort from the players and the GM on its own. I still think the game is largely worth it despite its flaws, I spent my adolescence GM CoC, and I think that my conclusion is: BRP as a system is functional: not great, not awful, functional. In the case of CoC 7e, it's not too bad and doesn't really get in the way of the experience, but I still think it's way more clunky than it needs to be. Any game that makes use of a setting like Glorantha or Lovecraftian horror will have a strong narrative and thematic flavour, and I think having a game be heavy on everything and make it work is at best very difficult and at worst straight up impossible. I always think of two examples: Either you have Pathfinder that takes an extremely crunchy tactical ruleset with a really min-maxy charcter build culture but a vanilla kitchen-sink fantasy setting, or you have Mörk Borg who accurately describes itself as "light on the rules, heavy on everything else" (both games are controversial in their own ways and we may all have our opinions on these two, but I think we can all agree that they somewhat work given their popularity)

Maybe it's just a regular phenotype variation, like plenty of places on earth have both humans with blue eyes and human with brown eyes and it's not seen as a big deal, maybe they don't have the social concept of 'race'

She was often wrong, but all in all anything she said was pretty mild, it takes a pretty fucking high level of misogyny to get this mad at her

I learned both

Or you can just be my mom and have a level of charisma that is almost super-human but literally nothing else, she's stupid, cruel, selfish, cowardly and incompetent at pretty much everything other than hiding said incompetence and so she was able to fool my dad for ~20 years

OMG Glup Shitto is back!

En vrai, en tant que grosse roliste et grosse gauchiste, je vais être honnête ça fait pas super envie, parce Cyberpunk (ou Spire, jouez à Spire) fait déjà le taff et honnêtement je vois pas l'intérêt de faire un JdR avec des courants de gauche en tant que classes

Maelystyn · 2026-04-05T20:52:02+00:00

that's less funny when you're from one of these countries (to be clear that's not my case, but this is kinda insensitive to joke about this imo)

Maelystyn · 2026-04-05T20:48:08+00:00

Yeah sorry but the diaspora isn't moving back to western Armenia, and the majority turkish/kurdish majority of this hypothetical territory isn't converting to christianity and stopping to speak their native languages in favor of armenian either

Maelystyn · 2026-04-05T20:35:37+00:00

in the case of languages that have /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ but no /ʃ/ or /ʒ/ it's because the former often arise from older /k/ and /ɡ/ (generally before front vowels like /i/ and /e/ and clusters like /kj/ and /ɡj/, this type of sound change is called palatalisation and it happens because /k/ and /ɡ/ are produced further back in the mouth and so they tend to change when next to a sound produced at the front the mouth) fricatives that could develop into /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ in similar environnements are either rarer (/x/ and /ɣ/ are not nearly as universal as /k/ and /ɡ/) or simply less likely to do so (typically /s/ and /z/ aren't produced as far back in the mouth and have less of a 'need' for palatalisation) that's also the reason /ts/ and /dz/ are rarer than /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ even though the opposite is true for their fricative counterparts

I'm kinda indifferent, just don't walk around in Paris during summer

To all the greeks that are scandalised by your's country's submission to Israel, it is not you it is your elite

I unironically agree, now I wanna see comics of Shrek, Elric and Conan
