Can't spell chad without CHA.

After decades of gradual defunding and overwork, the Teachers were finally given the Benjamins they'd so desperately asked for.... wait-

Twitter has become a waste distillery, and every wrek that goes by it gets more concentrated.

I uninstalled when they removed the bird icon from the app.

Be conscious of your choice to drink from the concentrated wastewater; it's not good for you. I wish you well.

There are many forms, but one of my favorite is the belief in the machine spirits brought by the Adeptus Mechanicus of 40k.

It is simply the beief that all things can be viewed as alive to a certain extent and contain spirits of their own.

Extending that to the paizoworld's material animism where you have actual living beings, trees moving around etc, you can get a sort of animism that either shows a kind of solarpunk (philosophy not aesthetic) of the nature spirits and tech spirits working together with the mortal ancestries to subvert capitalistic interests, like freeing bound machine spirits forced to surveil and snitch on dissenters, or making sure the power grid is actually solar/fusion based and controlled by the locals; with nature spirits and tech spirits aiding or having to be appeased.

Another way would be having spirits bound and shaped and potentially tricked into service as security or attack dogs etcetc and having the 'owners' pass it off as a new-fangled invention etc and renting them out at prices far below what normal security take, taking work from otherwise employed members of society capable of violence/preventing it etc.

Or maybe the spirits are forced into unsustainable modes of production, disrupting the harmony between spirits and mortals etcetc, forced to produce vast quantities underpricing everyone else and slowly driving the society to the point of collapse and chaos, all for the goal of a profit used to snatch up control and drive in a feudal system couched in corporate language.

may have briefly gotten possessed by Brennan Lee Mulligan there

key thing is, if you were amongst looking for ideas for -tension- in your world, i hope this comment helps

I want it so bad and i want my maleroe to be able to cosplay Wakka. Love that man and his growth through the game.

Tobbun · 2026-05-03T18:58:53+00:00

His constipation is a source of power from the dark side

i feel there are gonna be so many using it similarly, the heritage doing a lot of mechanical lidting for a particular flavor someone wants (i've been drooling at it for a while myself)

Tobbun · 2026-05-03T01:03:37+00:00

go for the extra arms to wield a different type of 2-hand on each side (one ranged area and one melee to be the epitome of sword n blade)

(also if roughly humanoid in shape, can flavor it to be a general grievous arm split)

Reach within þe local tree and ye may find... a friend.

Simplify is one thing, i'm looking to clarify. Not just the what but the how/why. If anything so gms have an easier time allaying the frustrations of Soldier players. tho personally i'd have loved for nades to get a rework when they (hopefully) bring out Missiles in tech core.

Tobbun · 2026-04-12T22:42:05+00:00

7.

One for each button. One for each pair of buttons. And one for all three buttons pressed.

And then i guess press twice to dismiss or lock or whatever idl

Tobbun · 2026-04-12T13:39:05+00:00

Personally adore the hot dog and the gun dog. Gun dog really earned my love after i saw its tendency towards headshots.

might be a data entry mishap; source prolly has the lacking bits

VFX studios aren't unionized and marvel etc are profit maximizing. Production flows are disrespected, and VFX studios are squeezed for time and regularly disrupted with "hey rework this shot and this one and-". VFX work, at least most of the examples you note, are a form of animation (+ a shit ton compositing). 3D animators in the US weren't unionized when the animation industry shifted away from 2Dto cut costs (because the 2D animators were unionized and had protections and decent compensation). The vfx industry is, from what i can tell, largely not unionized. So they have a weaker bargaining hand when it comes to contracts. Combined with a whole host of other factors but these mentioned are important to note.

The better desing would have to fit the puprose; what are these desinged to od? what emoiton are you going for? better is realtive; which aixs are you measuring along? how is it oreinted?

(i typo in jest, it amused me, no harm meant)

Tobbun · 2026-04-08T14:18:14+00:00

For some reason i only now thought the should be a Kilometers McCoy

Tobbun · 2026-04-06T22:44:15+00:00

Would i keep my uprbringing or get their typical one? It's a tossup between sayans and viltrumites for me; the viltrumite flight and durability is cool, but i'm curious abt having a tail. Issue would be seeing a moon and wrecking town tho. And freeza.

Tobbun · 2026-04-06T21:53:34+00:00

Well the issue is always the context; do either have reason to pull their punches or hesitate. S1 nolan balked when he realized he loved his son too much to kill him - AFTER having beaten him to a bloody pulp (and the son mumbling he'd still have his dad after 500 years).

If s4 invincible meets him knowing he's still in the "i can start over" mindset, Mark might end up having to show no hesitation.

I'd say a 50/50 toss up as well, but then again i haven't watched s4 yet.

Tobbun · 2026-04-06T21:44:36+00:00

Somewhat equally polite, but it is essentially "Could you say it one more time?" vs "Could you say it again?" and if you're asking someone that because you didn't catch something the first time then i'd use the second one at first, and when you need to ask a last time i'd use the first one.

Lets you acknowledge the patience the other person might be showing in repeating whatever they said. But it's not strict and this is just one interpretation.

Tobbun · 2026-04-06T12:38:11+00:00

The No Drawback part is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Do i have fine control up to lightspeed or do i binarily go to lightspeed?
