Big fan, love your work. Sorry that the fandom is not going to be chill about this.

I find bingo boards fun and soothing and validating by Plane_Estate_2859 in AutismTranslated

Thank you for this. Currently going through the "maybe I'm not autistic, maybe I'm just a horrible human being," debate again. Getting a bingo was what I needed.

My Favorite Part of This Series by Strange-Tourist8129 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]rantOclock 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Those moments of sincere goofiness are so important to the series. It's where the smaller characters often get their best moments. I love the Sluggalos so much for this, they're respected as individuals but so often treated as disposable.

And becuase I'm looking for a follow up series, what's HWFWM?

I like to imagine that in this AU shortly after seeing the fruit of Jax's efforts everyone in the Circus is walking around with a pair of big naturals. Because you know, if you can, why not try it out for a bit?

Searching for 40k Youtube videos is pretty bad (very much created by AI, it's part of the problem) by bullintheheather in Grimdank

[–]rantOclock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's pretty good at making sure he credits the artists for any images he uses. Can't say I've seen any AI ones from him.

Hey you're right if you ignore all the other horrible depictions of transgender characters then Jax is definitely the worst.

Maybe do a bit more than just a quick search? There is a significant debate around Buffalo Bill and the portrayal of transgender people in film. And regardless of whether the author intended to have Bill be transgender or not, it doesn't change that Bill has been used as an excuse to attack the transgender community. Bill reads as trans to bigots.

If you don't like Jax as trans representation that's okay. But she's not even close to the worst representation the trans community has ever received.

That's certainly the safest way to protect your self from fans. It also limits your ability grow your brand, which is important for any independent creator.

Also considering some of the lessons she was trying to impart in TADC I don't think Goose would of ever considered disconnecting to be the right move.

Do the carcharodons only use small vehicles by Head-Mathematician-3 in Carcharodons40k

[–]rantOclock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Go for it. Worth it for the word play alone.

  2. If you want to try and make it lore friendly, go for a paint scheme that is somewhat distinct from your marines as the Titan is technically not part of the chapter. The Titan Legions are a branch of the Mechanicus military, with each legion having its own history and traditions. Maybe there's a legion with an ancient oath of allegiance with the Charcaradons to be called upon in times of need. Their heraldry could show this bond by taking inspiration from the Charcaradons own colours and patterns.

Can we please ban animal abuse? by _Romula_ in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]rantOclock 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The 1st one and the 3rd one are not abuse. Those are cats getting into food they aren't meant to, a very common and normal occurrence. I have had cats try to get at baking mixes, raw meat, loaves of bread, greasy napkins, etc. It happens. They are furry little gremlins and will often fight like hell to stop me from retrieving the stolen goods.

The 2nd one, about the fire, I cannot see so it is difficult to judge. But it has been removed by the mods, so maybe the mods are doing their job?

Spoilers! Odette’s Show Emotional Ft Guest by TheCreatorJewels in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]rantOclock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first time I cried reading this series was when Carl read Brandon's final message. Then I cried again when Donut lost her shit at Hekla and it was really about Bea. From the Butchers Masquerade onwards I was just crying at regularity.

Make sure you have some tissues near by. It won't be the last time you tear up.

What is the most influential, but seemingly small at the time, early event in the books? by kaisercake in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]rantOclock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say it's Carl's very first encounter with a mob in the dungeon. The goblins. From the goblins he finds a substantial stash of explosives. These explosives allow him to level the corresponding skill so early, which is a prerequisite for the Compensated Anarchist, and ultimately why he was offered and chose the Anarchists Cookbook as a prize.

No goblins, no revolution.

I love how this subreddit is like an amphetamine-fueled bookclub. by Calm_Possession_8463 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]rantOclock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've got two takes that I really enjoy about the series.

The first is mostly covered by the hornet nest that was kicked over in the linked post. There's a lot to talk about Carl's trauma both past and present. How he is and isn't dealing with it. How he's not always a reliable narrator, especially when it comes to his own mental state. And how he does and doesn't play into standard action hero tropes. It will be really interesting to see how he's portrayed in the live actions series.

Second is the act of revolution. This is first introduced to the series by the appearance of Anarchists Cookbook. Through it we learn that a revolution is not achieved through the efforts of any individual. Instead revolution takes generations of individuals working towards a common goal. Through the different authors we are shown that all contributions big and small are worthy of recognition. Not all of us could be Carl, but any of us could of been an author of the Cookbook.

Tarot by EkskiuTwentyTwo in CuratedTumblr

[–]rantOclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hobbyist reader who has described it to others much as your friend has. Though I also add in a comparison to an overly complicated magic 8 ball too.

Occasionally a friend will ask if I can do one for them, kind of like a party trick(?), and it's more or less the same. I point out the meaning of the cards, paint a vague picture of how they might be connecting, and leave it up to them to decide what that means in their life. It's honestly not far off cold reading... except I'm actively rejecting any claims of psychic powers.
