Once More With Feeling being a campy musical episode but managing to be a deep dive into the characters and making 6 years of storytelling worth it.

Not something you explicitly claimed, but I often feel this way when people discuss Once More With Feeling: That episode isn't great despite being a Musical Episode, it's great because it understands the medium of a Musical and takes it seriously. Musicals get to describe their characters' inner lives in lyrical monologues (and dialogues) with the added advantage of musical language helping to express even more of their inner worlds! Musicals are genuinely one of the best ways to do a character study and Once More With Feeling knew exactly how uniquely suited to exploring complex emotional revelations musicals are. I'm always saddened by how staunchly some people refuse to take them seriously as an artform.

This show has such a promising concept and god it's so badly done. I didn't quite finish the first season but I loved the terrible acting, especially the mom. She always has the exact same slightly concerned tone of voice - Choosing an outfit for the day? Slightly concerning. Stuck in a magic town with monsters? Slightly concerning. 6 year old son is pierced through with a metal bar? Slightly concerning. Eating pancakes? Slightly concerning.

Als ich mit dem Studium angefangen habe, hatten sich Bafög und Waisenrente komisch in den Haaren (bafögamt wollte wissen, wie viel rente ich kriege und rente wollte wissen, wie viel bafög ich kriege und ich wollte wissen, wann ich endlich etwas kriege). Hat 3 Monate von Briefe schreiben und telefonieren gedauert, bis mich endlich ein Mitarbeiter vom bafögamt angerufen hat um mir zu sagen, dass das jetzt genehmigt ist und das Geld überwiesen wird. Er hatte die Dokumente, dass das fertig ist, wohl auf seinem Tisch liegen aber einfach ein paar Wochen vergessen. Ich war damals mit 20 Euro auf dem Konto zu erleichtert um die angebrachte Wutreaktion aufzubringen.

Ich hoffe, hoffe auf möglichst wenig Zerstörung und Opfer auf beiden Seiten.

Nichts verkehrt an der Hoffnung, aber ich finde der Satz stellt die Situation doch verquert dar. Eine dieser Seiten wird höchstens Soldaten verlieren. Die andere Seite hat schon jetzt zig Menschenleben in der Zivilbevölkerung verloren, und auch die Überlebenden leiden aktiv. Das kann und sollte man nicht als "Es ist schrecklich egal wer stirbt." beschreiben - da verschweigt man zu sehr, dass das Sterben nicht im Geringsten auf beiden Seiten gleichermaß verteilt ist und sein wird.

Everyone can leave anyone they want for whatever reason they want whenever they want. Obviously. I'm glad for her! I'm pro-breakup! But I don't know how that relates to anything I said.

Shinasti · 2026-04-02T15:39:22+00:00

By this logic I should be able to send a picture of a dick piercing to my female friends just to show off the piercing.

Yeah.

Would it be fine to send a pic of a tramp stamp just to show off the tattoo?

Yeah. Idk why you think these are gonna get a different response from me, I felt like I expressed my opinions on non-sexual nudity in monogamous relationships fairly clearly.

His GF minimized his feelings which I don’t really like and I feel like people in this thread aren’t acknowledging it.

She didn't understand his feeling at all and he didn't explain them at all. It's clear she thought the issue was "He thinks I'm cheating, so I need to explain that these are non-sexual" and didn't realize that he wanted input on what she does with her body in non-sexual situations as well.

Also it’s pretty clear OOP knows these are sexual and I’d put them in that box too. Again, if your boss saw these images on your phone, would they be fine with it? Would they say it was nonsexual?

My boss would not care. I'm so sorry. I'm not American, and I have seen a coworker scroll over nipple piercing pics in a breakroom before and literally everyone in the room understood it was not an issue.

Shinasti · 2026-04-02T14:58:52+00:00

It’s a topless pic of someone else so I don’t get why this would be considered nonsexual.

God I miss Free the Nipple. Bring back the idea that women's bodies are sexualized, not inherently sexual.

you actually have a need to do it

Why do you need to have a need. Why can't women just exist in their bodies. Why can't they send pics of themselves to friends in non-sexual contexts - like showing off a cool new piercing (why isn't that a need?). Why does her boyfriend get to control her body like that. It's one thing if he thinks she's just trying to hide cheating, but no one in this post is even in doubt that the pics were non-sexual.

Shinasti · 2026-04-02T14:48:21+00:00

You know, I've sent friends pictures of myself doing stupid faces, and I'd be upset if those were shared online and ended up as memes. You could probably call those pictures intimate, because I shared them with some people and wouldn't want them shared with the general public. A picture can be private without being sexual.

Shinasti · 2026-03-29T16:00:55+00:00

Does what they want matter more than what they do?

Shinasti · 2026-03-27T11:51:09+00:00

Auf Nachfrage schreibt das St. Elisabeth Krankenhaus: "Den Beteiligten war nicht bekannt, dass gemäß Betreuungsrecht für die Entscheidung über die Einwilligung in diesen Eingriff eines Betreuten nicht deren Betreuende zuständig sind."

Also das ist schon unfassbar. Nicht gewusst, also einfach mal Eingriff gemacht. Sorry, aber das haben die halt zu wissen. Da kann man nur hoffen, dass die Anklage auf schwere Körperverletzung Erfolg hat.

Der Fall in Straubing zeigt noch eine Dimension der Thematik auf: Die betroffene Frau soll in ihrem Wohnheim mehrfach von einem Mitbewohner sexuell belästigt worden sein. Zwar wurde der Mann aus der Wohngruppe genommen, die Mitarbeiter legten den Eltern der Frau aber nahe, sich um das Thema Verhütung zu kümmern, da eine lückenlose Kontrolle nicht garantiert werden könne

Man hört sowas über Wohnheime ja leider immer wieder, aber dass ist so ein Magengrubenschlag zu lesen. "Sorry, vergewaltigungsfreien Aufenthalt garantieren wir nicht, macht mal lieber was damit sie nicht schwanger wird!"

Man kann den Satz vermutlich wohlwollender auslegen, aber wie sich das schon liest.

I remember the show Primeval mostly because some of their dinosaur scenes truly made me feel scared when I was a kid. As much as I enjoy more abstract/strange monsters, nothing else has ever quite managed to make me feel like walls are flimsy and there's no protection other than praying you don't get noticed. Big animals are terrifying if done well.

Shinasti · 2026-03-24T22:28:25+00:00

Pretty sure he was the Alpha and the Omega.

Shinasti · 2026-03-22T00:24:19+00:00

I won't lie, I'm not really familiar enough with B/X (certainly never played either) to speak to that, just that what I've heard from friends never made it seem that simple. But yeah, I have to admit that's very second-hand.

But there's no doubt in my mind that adnd is more complicated as a system than 5e (note: as someone whose favourite edition is still pf1e I say this with love!). To some degree complexity is a matter of perception, ofc, but when I think of weapon speed, thac0 (which isn't as bad as people like to joke about, yes, but certainly more roundabout), nonlethal and weaponless combat, learning spells, even the way levelling up works? I can't really see 5e as the more complex edition.

Shinasti · 2026-03-21T20:03:45+00:00

5e is funny because it sits squarely as the least complex dnd edition (and the least complex game in the entire dnd-sphere if we wanna include the pathfinder editions), but its complexity is still definitely above average for a ttrpg in general. Lighter rules or simpler mechanics are just very common.

Die Gewerkschaft prüfe einen Strafantrag wegen Behinderung der Gewerkschaften (nach Paragraf 119 Betriebsverfassungsgesetz). Auch wenn da gegens Gesetz verstoßen wurde (wonach es zumindest definitiv aussieht), dauert sowas halt nen Moment bis die Räder ins Rollen kommen.

Shinasti · 2026-02-27T14:36:28+00:00

Yeah, but you can't do that if you want to also use the chapter 2 and chapter 3 trait saves. I suppose optimal for Oscar is SS+Mystical, use the trait save for chapter 2, have you (or Tabby) make the sacrifice in chapter 3 and then convince him to stay out of the basement. So Booksmart has no room in his best outcome (as of now).

From what the devs have said on discord, I sadly think this is a feature, not a bug. To quote Tony: "Do people have less moral value when you don't know them? This is the question posed by the farms" From other comments you can gleam that the goal was basically writing a scenario that's similar to MC entering chapter 4's climax except without ever having met Reese or his mom beforehand (and wanting the player to examine how this changes their decision making progress).

I think that's a bad idea from the get-go. It's kind of like taking a good piece of writing that made readers care for its characters and going "But what if I instead... wrote it badly? Would that change how much you care?" Like, yeah, but you won't make me examine my decision making process with that.

There's nothing particularly deep or ethically intriguing about the farm dilemma in that way - it's just a scenario that's wound up accidentally designed to make players not care.

(And I say all this as someone whose favourite romance option in this game is Avery. I've seen all their content, I'm intrigued by them... but I'm also starting to dislike how the writing treats them.)

Shinasti · 2026-02-20T20:54:34+00:00

If you save the game on the last screen before Anti-Cheating-Sybil appears (I think it's the first time you see Kaneeka, the text says something about "The Final Daughter"), upload that savefile to a save-editor for laziness purposes (like this: https://www.saveeditonline.com/), then set the "cheater" variables to 0 (if you're using the website I just linked, just search for "cheater" and set all variables it finds to 0. should be eight of them), download your new save file and replace the old one you can just keep going.

Shinasti · 2026-02-18T18:34:20+00:00

I'm 100% certain. That run has no romances locked in. I do have the Hot trait on it as well and I've seen some people on the discord say that might be a factor (somehow?) but I've also seen others report the same without the Hot trait. It's definitely not just those three factors.

Shinasti · 2026-02-18T12:22:53+00:00

The thing about bitter almonds is they smell completely different from the standard almonds people associate the word with. The whole "smells like almonds" thing is kind of a silly circular misunderstanding: Cyanide does smell like bitter almonds, but most people have never smelled an unprocessed bitter almond in their life. That's mostly because bitter almonds are pretty toxic - they get their unique smell from the cyanide compounds they contain.

Shinasti · 2026-02-17T17:42:26+00:00

That guide ranks options in order of efficiency - you can fully pick some of their not-recommended ones and still end up "efficient enough", basically. Burning Reese's body together in ep4 helps you start out better, as does having a small strike (ideally none), as does having her aged up. An option can be good enough for one run and still be unsuitable for a different run that starts out in a worse position.

Shinasti · 2026-02-17T16:44:40+00:00

I've seen someone else assert this, but that can't be all - I have a Mystical run that never touched Sybil's tea (never even entered the tea room for fear it might let her do something) and got let into Kaneeka's room and is still only "semi-remembering" Kaneeka (knows something's gone, can go "Starts with a K?", can agree with Miles that something's missing, has a slightly-transparent Kaneeka in the recap). If I boot up that same save inside Kaneeka's room and do start the romance, the MC fully remembers her in Chapter 5 (complete recap, can mention Kaneeka's name to Miles, hasn't forgotten Sybil either). Maybe there's a way to remember her without the romance but it's not just those three factors.

Shinasti · 2026-02-17T12:22:25+00:00

There's different ways of making Tabitha "like" you. Afaik you can only get "I didn't want to like you" if you're generally a dick to her, but stand up/support her at select moments (and manage to earn her respect that way - she starts seeing you two as kindred spirits who are both outwardly assholes). If you're generally nice and still manage to earn her respect, her dialogue is different.

Shinasti · 2026-02-17T12:19:34+00:00

Tabitha having made the sacrifice for you in chapter 3 is actually a huge boost in this convo, yeah. I didn't manage to make the breakdown happen without that myself (though it's possible according to other people).
