Omnia Ostia

Man if you liked what Barbie and heroin chic did for girls'/womens' body image you are going to LOVE AI.

I have witnessed and heard about enough unhinged behaviour for today. Everybody get back in pocket please.

I don't know why I was just thinking about Bucky yesterday, but anyways:

I know China Moon uses the bright red stuff in their fried rice, but cannot vouch for the egg rolls.

I think Necrobinder may be kinda busted. It hasn't even been 24 hours and I'm already on Ascension 3, and that's been with rotating through the characters.

Mary Shelley: i consent
Percy Shelley: i consent
Lord Byron: i consent
Gravestone of Mary Wollstonecraft: isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

Whadya mean "storms possible"

Heart: The City Beneath does not cite Slay the Spire as an influence, but it certainly seems to be an omission. Spire 2 seems to have perhaps taken some influence from Heart.
Cross-pollination is neat.
Parallel evolution is neat.

Slay the Spire 2 would've been fine if it were just more of the same, but I'm really impressed with the innovations they've made here and think they're going to make it even more replayable than the original.

Just in time for St. Paddy's.

Fewer companies have people who brag about not doing their job.

First successful run already done with the Necrobinder.

She wears a horned skull as a mask, and has a bandolier and tail made from bones. Her arms and hands are wrapped in bandages. The Silent Health 70/70 Gold 99 A huntress from outsi9de the Spire. Ready to stab and poison anything in her way. Ring of the Snake At the start of each combat draw 2 additional cards.

My beloved!

I am trying to my dudes

Guess I'll just go "Slay the Spire" instead if you know what I mean

If a landlord is that strapped for cash, how are they going to afford suddenly not having tenants?
Or are they just convinced all those vacancies are now going to be filled by the "right" sort of people?

I think Slay the Spire II may have just slain Steam instead.

It's a lesson I haven't fully learned myself yet, but if you try to be funny in the comments of someone you have only a parasocial relationship with you most likely only look unhinged (if not hostile).

Is a person acting in such a way that seems contradictory to what we know/believe about them? Weird. There must be some reason or motive as to why.

Alas, the answer is seldom that they have been assimilated by The Thing.

I have no training beyond personal observation, so grain of salt and all but

There seem to be a lot of people out there incapable of imagining another's inner life or that people are complicated and self-contradictory. Particularly when it is their job to be aware of such things.

Tonight I watched a dance floor go nuts for Alanis's "You Oughta Know" and glimpsed a better world.

Don't subscribe to blocklists. They are created by the pettiest debate club tyrants you can imagine.

Plus artisanal blocking just feels so much better.

I love and am terrified that every few days someone is on here 80's Caligariposting and so far it has never been the same person twice.

We are a rogue state.

I know it's a sign of coming Spring, but that with the melt cycles tap water just tastes terrible. Like there's this weird, onion-like thing going on this time?

I'm not used to TMBG songs being about death.

No... no that's not true.

I'm not used to TMBG songs being blatantly about death.

PS: The entire meta-plot of the 21st Century is people thinking they can escape the consequences of their actions and there is likewise a long and rich storytelling tradition about how well -that- works out.

There is a long and rich storytelling tradition of children making choices that alter the course of their entire life for good or ill. Sometimes even fatally so!
God forbid someone realize they're actually a girl or a boy, though.
