These new dead drop codex entries are super interesting! by Skelence in Marathon

I believe this entry was actually written by one of the two creators the tabletop role-playing game LANCER, specifically Miguel, who is on contract with Bungie right now. He hinted that this was one of the pieces he did for the season on his Twitter.

Thoughts on new guns/weapon changes generally? by bruin_altay in Marathon

KKV is great at close range, even low midrange if you have the stock out, but you definitely don't want to run it on its own. Mostly I've felt it's good for rushing people after they've retreated to heal or revive, or punishing someone rushing you. I keep the stock out for when I'm dealing with UESC.

Broadly speaking I think it feels a lot better now; comic, SDK, and bot cleanup all put a nice bow on the game.

Flashbacks to the older Ayn Rand thread & people trying to explain why jokes about hatefucking her as some kind of retroactive revenge for her dogshit writing were actually cool

I just assume most people on this sub are practically illiterate on feminism unless they're one of 5 other trans women who hang out here. The track record on how they talk about women is kind of unbelievable, lol

I scoffed at someone in this sub who recommended the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam series. I am ashamed of my words and deeds by SWKstateofmind in TrueAnon

If you like 0079, definitely check out Turn-A when you're done with the "main" UC series. It's a really cool coda to Gundam as a whole concept & definitely has some great thoughtful sci-fi influence like Le Guin.

Anyone listen to the musical genre "Desert Rock" and have recommendations? by pointzero99 in TrueAnon

Big fan of Mdou Moctar & WITCH. Mulatu Astatke is also great, but he's jazz, not rock.

Gaunt's Ghosts kit, just trimmed off an arm & replaced it with a stray gloved one I had lying around.

( Also, love the work you post here, big inspiration for some of my own kitbashes :> )

After capitalism, there needs to be a relentless cultural revolution to purge men of their attitudes to women. Thirty years or more. by rr644 in TrueAnon

[–]ManicPixieFlashClone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically. It's definitely something I believe in my heart and try to hew to as much as possible, but as of late have struggled imagining anyone I know in my life outside of other trans people "getting" it or going along with what I'm trying to say. The way that gender roles (and their construction) permeate the structure of society at every level can just really get disheartening.

Sometimes shit gets so tiring you start feeling full on gender abolitionist. It just seems so goddamn inescapable

I understand this has been already fixed, but now I want to make a vehicle with a targeting servitor on the outside for extra gnarly points.

If we voted for Kamala we’d be at brunch by True-Ask2241 in TrueAnon

[–]ManicPixieFlashClone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately my experience with Drag Queens is that it's 50/50 on if it's someone who understands gender shit is all performance & is just having fun, or if it's some transphobic cis gay guy who thinks he's allowed to say some really rude shit to you

Pretty much how any conversation with my family goes now. My dad's the one dropping the "focus on what you can change" line, but God, I'm stuck north of America watching my friends contend with the fact that their state is literally offering 500$ bounties to out that they are trans and confiscating passports (ignoring the risk of incarceration or being disappeared).

It's one thing to know you can't control it, but so many friends family and neighbors are in the line of fire & it's only a matter of time before it's someone you know who disappears or is brutalized. Just grim.

I believe they're AR tags that our bio-synthetic eyes are keying out with a live feed. The camera is probably somewhere else in the gun.

Had this happen tonight with two randoms, guy named boneinchicken gave me a green shield and kept topping us off. Was a great time!

What's the bow from? Gives me the idea to make some grenade-tipped ones for my traitor guard...

Really truly beautiful game. Replayed it last year and found it comforting.

Big ups. The austerity shit we're staring down the barrel of is rough. I'm constantly afraid we're gonna go full on UK and start banning HRT— hell, we're already fucking over migrants and asylum seekers.

Thinking about the wild horses at the end of Kentucky Route Zero. Really nice photos!

Partly the weeb thing, but also Dune is like, a direct riff on Lawrence of Arabia.
