my entirely petty pet peeve in mtg is the use of commas to append a designator onto the names of legendary creatures. It's a lazy naming convention imho.
"Atraxa, Grand Unifier" is cringe and feels like it should have a (tm) at the end. "The Grand Unifier Atraxa " reads much like natural language.
its up there with Adjective-noun Verber and Creature-folk for lazy naming. Different planes and cultures ought to have different naming conventions for cards to reflect their linguistic patterns.
So many Americans seem to think that there is no society, and morality is literal magic. Like, people don't make choices based on a complex interlocking web of desires and institutions and material conditions. The world is good guys and bad guys. Deviance is a literal magical poison that disrupts the fabric of reality. If enough young women dye their hair blue, the crops will fail.
What suburbanism will do to you after enough time dog
Literally atomized to the point of duotheism. "wokeness" isn't a social phenomena, it's a synthetic evil god invented deep state actors that want custody of your kids.
it hasn't even been a day and im already so tired of hearing about the switch 2 and duskbloods... you all want bloodborne 2 so bad you're willing to slap that name on anything that could be it, including an overpriced game that, at worst, looks like it was made by a whole different company (at the very best fromsoft's C team) grasping at bloodborne's aesthetics that's exclusive on a console that ppl were making fun of as soon as it was announced...
maybe im cranky bc i can't afford three meals a day but what the fuck are we doing here?
i could be wrong and it could be something more than elden ring with a bloodborne paint job, even if they manage to capture everything that made bloodborne so good, i doubt anyone playing it will enjoy it the same as bloodborne bc games aren't made the same way they were a decade ago. i just heard duskbloods is rumored to have a multiplayer focus like night reign too... i hope everyone who pays for this game gets a subscription based battle royale, i hope the switch 2 kills nintendo, and i hope i can still find something to enjoy in video games a decade from now
was lightly criticized in a discord server for posting cringe, literally no reason to live anymore
As much as I hate liberals and love to see them suffer, I do recognize that they’re probably in the equivalent of hell right now. Imagine being a resist lib, having no idea how anything works, and seeing the Bad Guy get to do everything he ever wanted ever and your Good Guys are just sitting with their thumbs up their asses
there's lots of things to talk about in the huge dump of "CANCELLED PLANS FOR DISCO ELYSIUM 2: CUNO BOOGALOO" but i am fixated on this little diagram of a mechanic where the better the kids are getting along, the closer they will walk to each other, and at maximum, they start holding hands
the whole game was going to be based on this complicated relationship between two traumatized orphans. and then it was going to end with them fighting to the death
"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there
fuck my life
idk sometimes i kinda wonder if such a thing as a unified "trans community" even exists. and i *definitely* wonder if such a thing as a unified "queer community" is real.
saying this with the usual caveat of I'm Not Personally Responsible For "Dividing" the Supposed Community," i'm just describing division that already exists. but
idk with how often trans women are scapegoated and personally discriminated against by other queer people, with how clearly other queer people benefit from and exploit transmisogyny.
it'sss getting harder and harder for me to see a truly unified struggle here. "they treat us all like faggots" being a sort of abusive mantra, "no one will ever treat you better than we do, we're all you're getting so you should be grateful for what you have"
sometimes it really does feel like a massive hoodwink, like the surface level similarities of our oppression are being used to draw false equivalence. to keep a convenient underclass around.
it just really seems like a whole lot of people's idea of queer liberation doesn't include trans liberation. (and that a lot of people's idea of trans liberation doesn't include transfem liberation)
no one is free until we're all free of course (it'd just be nice if that was being told to others for a change, rather than used to scold transfems for talking up about their mistreatment)
When turning to trans communities, I should first clarify that what I have in mind is not any one entity called ‘the transgender community’. The notion of a unified community is one mostly appealing to career politicians, who are fond of imagining they might be able to interact with an entire tier of potential voters, through taking a single ‘representative’ out for lunch. In reality, trans people are prised apart and mutually alienated in much the same way as any other group: differences in class, race or ethnicity, and gender position still ensure that even a pair of trans people in the same city might be unlikely on various grounds to even meet.
