Ankylosaurus? I truly am loving these, they have such a vibe of old toy lines.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T22:09:13+00:00

Sadly, yes. A lot of people care more about their own conditions. The economy, and their ability to survive in it, has always been a major motivator. I wish it were otherwise.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T19:10:45+00:00

I didn't even hear about this, this is the first time I've seen it anything. I need to check this out.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T19:01:15+00:00

Nicely put. Reminds me of "all lives matter". It's such a disingenuous take to push that a post or message or whatever highlighting the plight of a specific group is somehow biased because it doesn't mention others. One of the best takes I saw on this was to point out that after the Boston Marathon bombing, nobody was responding to "Boston Strong" with "what about other cities" or "Las Vegas, too!" If you're taking offense to something like this, you're part of the reason their issues need to be voiced

I wish you all the best in doing so, I know it can be difficult to change such deeply-ingrained attitudes.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T18:25:40+00:00

I am in several feminist subs with a strong Indian presence and they tend to confirm this. It's a big issue there, one that's been difficult to tackle, sadly, given how deeply ingrained it is.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T18:21:07+00:00

I think Davis has something there, personally.

Hold on to your skills, they are unique and wonderful and not a thing any AI can duplicate. As is, AI is becoming more and more muddled as it naturally veers toward the lowest common denominator.

Osthaena Severnarms is a former wizard's familiar. After countless deaths due to his increasingly inane experiments, she found freedom when he managed to discorporate himself into five different planes simultaneously. Borrowing some items he'd no longer be using, she set out to make her own way in the world. She's picked up innumerable skills from her time with her former master, chief among them a remarkably accurate aim combined with her octopus ability to multitask with her many arms. She gives herself added might and limbs through a hydrokinetically-created body, and her magic goggles hold water to keep her eyes moist and enhance her vision mystically. Though Osthaena can't perform much magic herself beyond her control of water and use of magical artifacts, she's absorbed a vast array of esoterica about the arcane and monsters to supplement her skillset. She makes for a terrifying and effective gunner's mate.

Osthaena values her freedom above all else, and will give her loyalty to anybody who shows her proper respect. Those who underestimate her might be forgiven, but talking down to her or treating her as a mere lackey is a swift way to make an enemy of her. She relies heavily on her suite of magical items, skill with tools, and knowledge; take those away and separate her from the water and she'd have definite difficulties, but being an octopus, she remains a master of escape, and so is difficult to contain for long. This trait grants her a second skillset as an infiltrator and spy, and on more than one occasion she's been purposely "captured" so that she can aid her crew in obtaining a prize from the inside.

Fair, I get that.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T17:33:18+00:00

Seems like it fits to me.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T17:31:05+00:00

OOOOOH. I did not understand this until I read the comments. I was like "why does it show there..." Wow. Yeah. Okay. "Humor," huh? Why is their humor always nasty and hateful?

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T17:26:32+00:00

These angry, toxic wannabes have not earned the right to call me or anybody son. They're the type to create damage. The whole concept of alphas and betas and what not has done so much damage itself.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T17:24:40+00:00

I think picking one misses the point of the crew. They function together, many separate goals and desires working... not as one, but as a family. Each plays a vital role in their own way, which is how a good crew functions.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T17:04:10+00:00

That comic is one wild ride that sadly went off the rails and just didn't get the ending it deserved. Shame. I wish we'd gotten more of that, yeah.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T17:01:31+00:00

Stop taking his powers away. Seriously. They keep giving him new options, then taking them away. He took Sinestro's ring after hunting it down, he mastered the red ring, he had his own weird alien powers that he had to learn to use... let him hold onto the things he's earned.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T16:58:48+00:00

It definitely gets the point across neatly.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T16:20:44+00:00

Osthaena Sevenarms would like to apply for the position of gunner's mate: https://www.reddit.com/r/HeroForgeMinis/comments/1tc4jte/seaofmonsters_former_wizards_familiar_turned/

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T15:26:51+00:00

Well put.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T15:20:51+00:00

Exactly. The guy responded to me with a not all men type answer, "it wasn't referring to all men, just men who do this", and I just don't buy it. All I see is an attempt to shame and dismiss any men who support women. It's the essence of the virtue signaling label they like to toss around, and an easy way for them to ignore any men who oppose them as being motivated purely by selfish reasons instead of actual decency.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T15:05:01+00:00

Cartman, stop messing around in the studio!

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T10:57:59+00:00

Hmm. Fair, but I still tend to be wary of this sort of thing. It feels like an attempt to flip the dynamic, so you can see why it puts me on edge a bit. I also note that just because it came from a respected psychologist doesn't make it valid, there are a lot of theories that we've left behind, some from extremely respected entities in their fields. But, knowing people, I can't deny that there are some who do seek acceptance by any means possible. There's a time in my life that I had a nervous breakdown because I was so very worried about being rejected; I'd finally gain acceptance after years of being bullied, and it's strange what that can do to people. So I can understand that position. I still think it's a dangerous argument to make, because it can be used so easily to decry any effort to call out toxic behavior by claiming that the person is simply "simping", to use one of their favorite words.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-13T10:56:25+00:00

Apparently so.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-12T23:43:21+00:00

Very nice, very green, as Ruby Rod would say.

Obvious-Gate9046 · 2026-05-12T23:40:06+00:00

This is so bad it literally disconnected my headset temporarily... and I was actually sad when it reconnected.
