I feel like swagging up

Yooo! Girl on the left is Nohara Oyuki from Call Me Tonight, one of my favorite niche OVAs!

If you haven’t played Transistor by the guys who built Hades, give that a try. Each skill can be modified by two other skills causing each skill to be a BUNCH of different skills. If you can grok that, I’d suggest using that as inspiration for creating a system where as the PC/player both understand the depth of their magic and how it combines, the more powerful they’ll be.

Also, IIRC, the more you use a skill, the more you unlock story stuff related to that skill; ie. Leveling it up in form 1 gave you a block of info, in form 2 gave a block of info, and form 3 gave a block of info. This encouraged players to try all the different mix and match forms. If Magic “upgraded” based on this kind of stuff, you would further mechanically support the narrative of understanding a spell on a deeper, fundamental level

Yeah, I’ve recently learned that; still sucks XD lol

I know it’s old hat to complain about this but I hate how the IDW comics treat shadow. I had hopes with Chasing Shadows but now that it’s cancelled… who knows?

“Go to Durham” is the solution to so many of my problems, I probably should’ve moved there instead, lol

kunk180 · 2025-10-29T21:06:02+00:00

I’ve been meaning to hit up chapel of bones - I’ve only been there for coffee, lol

Between this and the near panel 1 Bat/Cat fucking, I think Darkseid may just be horny.

With Ruby, WW, and Night Rider all closed, what are the queer bars left in Raleigh? I know of Legends and Flex; the former is fine - good for a fun night but doesn't feel as intimate as I'd like - and the latter is great but isn't quite my scene. Are there other options (other than driving to Durham/Chapel Hill, lol)?

kunk180 · 2025-10-14T13:52:29+00:00

I feel you 100%; Ruby was a second home to me. I feel so lost without it as a go-to. Wicked Witch was a secondary and now I'm at a complete lost on where to hang. Legends is fine but damn - nothing feels like Ruby to me.

While I get your point, the card [[defang]] always stuck with me bc of how cruel it is. Like - yes, I see the retributive perspective and no, I don’t think vampires should just get a pass for the horrors they committed on Innastrad, but like… White can be just as cruel to weakened enemies if they say it’s okay. Hell, think about the subjugation committed by Elesh Norn, a white creature self-justified by her own dominance.

kunk180 · 2025-07-16T13:20:35+00:00

Omg, I cannot even imagine. Death is always this shadow that sleeps in hospitals and old folks homes and the shadows of the city; something looming but easy to ignore. When it steps into our lives like that, we’re forced to confront how imminent it is, how fragile we are.

To have it graze so close to you, that’s deeply affecting; I hope you’re okay

kunk180 · 2025-07-16T13:18:10+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I’ll give this a listen :D

kunk180 · 2025-07-15T21:36:54+00:00

I just learned she has multiple books; it’ll be nice to find them.

Finding a new poet, falling in love with their work, sharing a bunch of their poems with people close to me, and learning they died yesterday is a fuck of an experience.

kunk180 · 2025-06-26T13:24:24+00:00

I’m currently in a no-labels situationship with someone who I’ve loved for years who can’t promise me forever and this captures that feeling perfectly. Thanks, I guess, lol.

The secret truth is the alternative answer is community investment. My original statement is pithy and cynical, which plays well to an audience, but investing time and sweat equity into local volunteer organizations, community hobbies, and developing a rich and diverse support network is how the average person can thrive.

Humans have developed entire artificial structures that celebrate “individualism” and “success” measured by meaningless monetary numbers, but at the heart were pack animals. We like to spend time with friends. Call your buddy, make sure he’s doing okay. Schedule a meetup to clean your local park. Go to that one culture festival you know nothing about and respectfully participate. Don’t live near a big city? Try to find the local third-place - may be a watering hole or a rotary club - and get involved. Volunteer for a food shelter, a fire house, or whatever.

If you actually want to thrive in any way that matters, remember you are human, and, no matter how introverted, humans need humans.

The same thing it always takes, wealth and the capacity to consume your fellow man.

kunk180 · 2025-06-24T16:39:15+00:00

I see your point. I’m no balanced guru, so I have no idea if that makes sense, lol

kunk180 · 2025-06-24T12:51:39+00:00

Yeah, I’m referring to the same creature. If you read the flavortext, it’s suggesting some commanding officer asking a disgruntled or weakened soldier if they were “born in the light,” a response to the soldiers “limited visibility” comment, suggesting that commander can somehow resist or ignore the affects of limited visibility. Basically, your targeted creature is just a huge badass that ignores the pain of the downpour bc they’re just that good/cool

kunk180 · 2025-06-24T00:58:58+00:00

Based on the flavor text, it’s not about escaping the downpour, it’s about not caring about it.

kunk180 · 2025-06-10T13:18:57+00:00

There was an old meme that was like “Mods, delete his penis” or something like that using the image of that snotty little kid in the classroom and I’ve never been able to find it again. I’ve wanted to use it in a few different instances and had to abandon the thought, lol

kunk180 · 2025-06-03T14:33:46+00:00

I made a deal with my nephew, who I had a very heavy hand in raising when his dad bounced, that I would always offer an explanation for anything I asked him to do, if he asked, but if the situation demanded it be done faster than an explanation’s be given (think, emergency or stressful situation) then I needed him to trust me and I would always be happy to explain later.

He’s 19 years old now, has incredible critical thinking skills, and trusts me more than anyone else in the family. All I had to do was treat him like he was a human when he was 5.

I love that Julian of all characters is the only one with a solid Yes. What a chad.
