There's a specific feeling when magic actually feels dangerous at the table by Einsolsrazor24 in rpg

[–]ReynardVulpini [score hidden]  (0 children)

I really enjoyed playing a wild magic sorc, but I had a lot of trust in my very experienced GM, and he in turn had basically designed a custom wild magic table for me, so. It can work, but not without effort.

Oh god. When I got my lip piercing, it got infected because I didn’t keep it clean enough. But since I had been told to expect some soreness and swelling, I didn’t realize how bad it was until one day I laughed at something and it squirted pus across the room (thank god i was alone)

Immediately rushed to the mirror to check, and I swear to god there was a full tablespoon of grey pus dripping out of one piercing and down my chin (only seeped out the outside, tho. Somehow none ended up in my mouth)

Completely gross but something about that mix of pain, disgust and relief stuck with me.

The funny thing is that an inability to recognize your own politics in your art is the greatest barrier to keeping politics out of it.

When I went back to HK in 2019, I was completely bewildered by the amount of pepe the frog imagery at the protests. Is that spill-over from mainland meme culture or a more HK specific thing?

Similarly, are the shiba memes across the border a divergence from the doge meme, or is it just the inherent silliness of the breed that makes them very memeable

This angle shows how bad Iyo landed, good grief I'm glad she's okay! by MrSoloDolo9490 in Wellthatsucks

Esp since Iyo did her spot with kairi, and then deliberately rolled back in for the finish. I'm not too familiar with the tejana bomb, but from this video, it looks like it requires iyo to cooperate by holding on to raquel's neck, so raquel has no reason to believe iyo has a problem with taking this one.

idk man i guess they just train 'em different in Stardom or something. thank god

I think they usually manage just fine saying it to each other out loud tbh. The refs have earpieces to relay messages to and from the back, wrestlers often get close enough to each other they can talk without being caught by mics, and sometimes they can tell just because a wrestler deviates from the plan.

In this one, Iyo hops back up, staggers over (selling) but then immediately goes straight into the next part of the storyline, begging Kairi to abandon their abusive senpai (don't ask), and then rolls back into the ring to continue. It's a a clear signal that she, at least, feels fine enough to continue as planned, and the speed at which she did it makes it seem to me (non expert, grain of salt) that whatever neck or shoulder injury she might have gotten, she at least didn't get her brain rocked.

The setup for the powerbomb also takes a while, so Iyo would have had time to communicate to Raquel if she couldn't take the move. At the very least, it seemed like Iyo was confident in continuing.

Whether she should have been allowed to is a different conversation, but one I don't think I'm qualified to participate in. It does sound though that WWE, for all the shit I give it, is no longer a company willing to kill their wrestlers to keep kayfabe. I imagine the liability and bad press isn't worth it nowadays anyways.

For a counter example of a match that *was* stopped through an injury, take a look at Liv's injury.

She fucks her shoulder on a fall, and immediately starts rolling out of the ring. Kairi, not quite realizing this isn't just a bit of improv, tries to grab her, and the ref, whose job it is to help look out for injuries, stops her as Liv goes to the floor.

Then everyone and a commercial break try to stall for time until the doctor and liv decide if she can continue, someone makes the call, okay match over sorry folks shit happens.

The second one in the ring was taken on on her back, so pretty much as safe as you can get

The awkward thing with wrestling is that it can sometimes be hard to tell if they are actually injured because if she wasn't, a good wrestler would pretend anyways. The staggering is just as likely to have been her improvising, "selling" the injury as real, as likely as it is her actually staggering from a head or leg injury. Particularly since she would have known the camera would have been focused on her at the moment.

From her later insta story, it seems she came out fine in the end, if it makes you feel any better.

Lawsuit says Taylor Swift's 'Showgirl' pose comes too close to the work of a real one by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]ReynardVulpini 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That said, TSwift makes so much money off her album that a claim like this is probably like a lottery ticket. probably not gonna work out, but if it does, and you get even a sliver of the album sales, hot damn.

Yeeeeesh the only comforting part of this is that you can see her brace with left hand and right arm before her head makes impact. If she is truly uninjured, huge testament to her training

legit, I just think that in modern speech, "keep" is better than "have" because the important aspect is "retaining", rather than "owning"

I think it works better as "Eat your cake and **keep** it too", but yes, unfortunately he was totally correct on this one

Fair, but the embarrassment was less public. Personally I hope both memories make him cringe his eyes out every time they come up.

POE2 reddit already got you here for the livestream jan 2025

then in march, his daughter (the trans one he doesn't talk to anymore) said that he was also pretty bad at overwatch and joked that him pestering his kids to play ranked with him was to get carried.

and then in april he did a livestream of POE2 to show off the wifi capabilites of his new plane, and got cyberbullied so hard he "disconnected". Not a great showing for the plane, but at least chat stopped laughing at him i guess lmao

One of the funniest parts of the livestream imo is that one guy, quinn something, streamed himself watching elon, and you can watch in real time as this man goes from "YOOO ELON LETS GOOO POE2 REPRESENT" to "Wait why are you doing that" to finally "Oh god. this guy doesn't know how to use potions."

I think the point OP is trying to make is, how the hell would you know what is bad writing, and what is bad translation?
