“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”

I struck a nerve in the billionaire fandom with this one

lmaooo and it actually is a courtship ritual but jack just doesn’t realize it yet😂

So excited to finally be able to share my fic for @highflierexchange​!!

This happened to fit a stargate bingo prompt (insecurities):

"How can you stand the fact that gross, disgusting fiction about (x topic) exists??"

It's simple, I know how to be polite and ignore fiction I'm not interested in, and I don't base my concept of morality on what I personally consider to be icky or distasteful.

I also don't attach morality to the author who writes fiction about topics that I personally don't like.

If it's fiction about something I don't like, I don't make loud pronouncements about how I'm leaving it alone. I let the people who like it, have it, and go find something I *do* like.

"i'm tired of seeing-" use your filters.

"but there was an icky ship-!" use your filters.

"i don't like that tag-" use your filters.

don't like what you're seeing? use. your. filters.

“Why would you want to make a game for the original Nintendo?? No one is going to buy that”

Jokes on you! I sold 1 copy!!!

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL GRAPH! THATS A SALE BAAAABY

^Me rn

Holy shit yall. I just woke up to 21 sales! The game has officially recouped the cost of all the software I used to make it!!! IM PROFITABLE?!

...What's the game, how did you make it, and how are you selling it?

It’s called Undercover Shot! It’s a 2 player social deduction game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System!

I’m taking pre orders for physical copies here https://www.homebrew-factory.com/home/138-undercover-shot.html

And selling digital ROM versions for a dollar here: https://pirateprincessjess.itch.io/undercover-shot-nes

A week ago I was losing my mind over 1 sale, now I’ve sold 81 digital copies and 52 physical ones.

Over 100 people bought my game!!!!????? This is mind blowing. I don’t even know how to process this. I am so grateful. I would not have sold nearly this many without yall sharing this post as much as you did. I love you all so much. Thank you for making this happen. You all made my childhood dream come true in a bigger way than I thought possible.

Clown cars actually operate on two opposite sides of a bell curve - the most average-sized cars transporting a sensible amount of people are the least clown cars. So while the more famous type of clown car is the comically tiny vehicle that can fit an absurdly large amount of clowns inside, a huge fuck-off giant pavement princess ego truck that is only used for transporting the driver around is also a clown car.

i think a loving thing u can do for yourself before a solo trip is to have a line item in ur budget, as critical and untouchable as Plane Tickets and Lodging, called Stupid. this money cannot be used for anything other than bailing u out of stupid situations

sometimes the Stupid moments are obvious like “my designated in-bag phone charger™️ is missing and my phone’s dying” or “i can’t find the goddamn bus stop it’s getting really late”, but sometimes they’re small like “huh the food at this bar i wanted to go to is pretty expensive”. the temptation to do the risky but cheap thing (walking around with a dead phone, getting lost, drinking on an empty stomach) over the expensive but safe thing (buy another charger at the closest shop, call a cab, pay too much for some mid-ass chicken gyozas bc though you do want to try the signature local beer it’s been a minute since you ate anything) is mitigated. it’s fine, u can assure yourself. take it out of the Stupid Budget

a complete aside as a frequent traveller (I'm in hotels more than I'm home) please be kind to the front desk people. because they probably have a charger, a spare toothbrush, thread for fixing your shirt, an electric kettle (!) etc... be kind and polite as you check in, say hi and bye as you go past, ask them nicely for whatever it is you lost or forgot to pack, they probably have it, or they can direct you where to get it at a reasonable price

this is the main reason i stay in hotels over airbnb, and boutiques over chains

of course, a Stupid Budget is very good too

This is why it's essential for new players to meet a funny little goblin/gnome/talking skeleton/other little weirdo on their first outing.

No, I'm serious

You as the DM have control over many things at your table, and that gives you a lot of authority, especially when it comes to establishing tone. By showing new players that in addition to being a grand storyteller/forgiving mentor/neutral arbiter of the rules you can also be a silly little guy™️ you also give them permission to be silly.

Lack of judgement is the first step to people feeling brave enough to try new things, and by making yourself out to be a clown, you signal that the d&d table is a (mostly) judgement free zone where they can put on a funny accent or do wacky things in character...or even (if you could believe it) be silly enough to invest in this story of wonder and whimsy that you're all telling together.

beauty standards are so fucked up what happened to i love your body because it's you. what then.

people get hotter the more you like them that's just science

Sometimes when doing writing research you find a little factoid that isn’t right for tormenting YOUR blorbos, but it is PERFECT for tormenting a friend’s blorbos so you just drop the fact on their doorstep like a demented little present.

"I found something to hurt the little guys in your head <3" is SUCH a wonderful expression of friendship.
