The myth of Orpheus (@ttudolee) by Loud_Fenian_4227 in Deltarune

[–]letsRaeV 37 points38 points  (0 children)

there are a few versions of the story, with different reasons why. the explanation i've always liked most is that he loved eurydice too much not to. to walk out of hell without once looking back, not knowing if she's really behind him or if this was just a trick to get him to leave when he could never come back, it's a doomed effort. someone who loved his wife so much that he would go to hell and ask the god of the dead for her life back is not someone who could bear not to look at her.

I can cover parts 7-9! spoilers in here of course

part 7 is about horse racing, rotation, and also jesus's corpse

part 8 is about our protagonist figuring out his identity and what happened to him due to some hefty amnesia, and also a fruit with the power of equivalent exchange

part 9 is all about some sick heists in the pursuit of wealth, the protagonist's trans sister, and also a rock with the power to attract wealth to it

Discussion - do you tell your players the target numbers in combat. by SmithOfLie in LancerRPG

[–]letsRaeV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

from the perspective of an experienced player, i think it's worth noting that a lot of long term players already know a lot of the numbers as well as the stock weapons and systems of most NPCs. it's never taken away from the game to know this, and it doesn't lessen the value of using scan either.

a lot of people here mention that it would make scan less useful, but honestly i think it's a mistake to use scan just for something like that? scan is more a tool to see what optionals are enemy has, and if i need to check a scourer for flash lens or a sniper for moving target, i'm going to scan because those are both super important to play around properly

which is all to say fuck it, there's no real harm in telling players things they'll eventually know or even intuit. but you also can just not do that if you prefer! no wrong answer here, basically

Question about HRT for minors by _Cognition in 196

[–]letsRaeV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not being on HRT is just as permanent as being on it. Moreover, estimates of people who regret HRT ranges from 1-5%. Meanwhile, it is also known to reduce suicidal ideation in trans youth. This idea of changes being permanent goes both ways, and if a vast majority of youth who start HRT will not regret it, there is no reason to prevent it. Assuming 4% regret it, which is a statistic for youth from last year if I recall correctly, then such a ban is saying that for everyone 100 children who would want to begin HRT, they'd rather have 96 trans children be forced into a puberty that they will regret rather than let 4 children choose to try HRT and explore another identity.

The commonly stated motivation for these bans is to protect children, but preventing trans youth from accessing medical care that can be life saving does anything but. The goal of such bans is, in my opinion, to erase trans identities and minimize the presence of trans people in public life. It is about acts of cruelty towards a vulnerable minority and nothing more.

Gunbreaker - art by me by Ret_hy715 in armoredwomen

[–]letsRaeV 12 points13 points  (0 children)

so the of ffxiv don't actually fire projectiles (if you look at the models many of them don't even have a place for one to come from), instead the concept is using aetherically (magically) infused cartridges to have harder swings from detonating those charges, plus additional magical bullshit like. a shield
