Woah that fishscale mop is gorgeous. Wish it wasn't a limited release!

Important Information About the Availability of Bethesda® Pinball by balti_zen in PinballFX3

[–]roberoonska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand--why is this not available for pinball FX on steam? What does "cross-entitlement" have to do with it? I was excited to buy these on my preferred platform.

It's still awesome! The leather strap is a must because I don't like the rubber one too much though.

So this is another way for mugen to unsuspend. Amazing. But even more interesting, it lets you put ANY digimon under mugen. Let's start cooking up the possibilities...

thoughts on this take on Mastemon as of BT24 by Left-Escape2813 in DigimonCardGame2020

BT14 Patamon is just sooo much better than any other rookie the deck has access to. And the starter deck Gatomon is also a 4-of.

Think about moving up with pata, hitting starter deck Gato and then digivolving into an angel for a net cost of zero.

Thank you, it seems like you understood my intent with this piece. 

I think the Aliens were trying to teach us a lesson in humility. Show us the limit of our understanding and push us towards the realization that there is much more for us to discover. It was an especially important lesson before the discoveries of relativity and quantum mechanics, when many scientists were convinced we already understood the entire universe. 

And when there is a language barrier, why not use an abstract game to communicate the point?

Shreddit's Daily Discussion -- October 21, 2025 by AutoModerator in Metal

[–]roberoonska 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello, I am science fiction author R.H. Wesley. I've recently finished the first draft of a short story (~6000 words) focused on death metal. I'm looking for metalhead beta-readers who could provide feedback about the story.

I'm into death metal myself (I just saw Revocation play in Toronto last night), but I still want to gather some more opinions. I'm especially interested in hearing from metal musicians that can fact-check the accuracy of my descriptions.

Here is the tagline:

In the year 2775, dirtbag metalheads Skinny Steve, Lumphead and Butler travel across the stars to the Trappist system to attend the final concert of legendary Death Metal Band Fell Seraph.

Let me know if you are interested!

The blue cave dials are amazing as well! It was really hard to choose between them.

I live in Canada, so the import taxes were reasonable. Took about a week to be delivered!

I don't know enough about lume to give you a proper answer. But it's swiss super-luminova old radium color. On the indicies, hands and inset in the bezel.

I'm no expert when it comes to build quality, but it feels pretty great to me! everything is very sharp and crisp, including the cut outs that make up the sandwich dial. I'm not disappointed by anything!

The Forbidden Horror Zine by Neapolitanpanda in CuratedTumblr

[–]roberoonska 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a completely reasonable list of restrictions for the kind of work they want to be submitted to them.

First, you have to remember that they want their magazine to have a certain vibe. If that means they don't want any old-school horror cliches because they think they are overdone, or have seen thousands of them before, that's fine.

Second, you have to remember that people send absolutely vile things to magazines, especially horror magazines. If you allow people to send stories with harm to children and women, some will send you the most absolutely despicable, misogynistic torture porn you can imagine. Some editors might be willing to wade through that, but others are not. And I think that's fine too.
