This is pretty surprising...

All of us vikings can fight and explore.  Gender has no meaning here, this is the battlefield!

From a recent discussion about huge tits from Dragon's Crow on the gaming den.

The only thing I'll say about the Sorceress controversy is that I think it's really weird that people flip their shit about a female character with exaggerated maternal traits but they don't flip their shit about a female character with exaggerated childlike traits.

There are in fact lots of ways for a woman to be beautiful, and popular culture should celebrate all of them. The reality is that there are not enough female characters whose bodytype strays from the range of waif-like to athletic with breasts ranging from washboard to double-D. When people flip out about how She Hulk, Power Girl, or Sorceress are sexist because of their appearance, that strikes me as deeply insane. There should be more characters like Big Barda and She-Hulk, just as there should be more characters like Power Girl and Sorceress.

I mean yes, there should also be female characters who aren't beautiful, just as there are male characters who aren't handsome. But anyone arguing for narrower lists of bodytypes has clearly not gotten the memo. This isn't even a thing where we can laugh it off and agree to disagree, there are lives on the line. There are tens of millions of people with eating disorders, and eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all forms of mental illness. One of the leading causes of eating disorders in the West is a unified portrayal in the media of the feminine ideal as being extremely thin.

This is not a long chain of inferences here. It's like two fucking steps. People who try to push portrayals of large breasted women out of games and comic books are literally killing teenage girls. By the tens of thousands.

Giant tits fantasies saves real people in our world. I fully agree with his logic.

I don't know whether to ROFL or applaud.

[Kethrian]

Why not both?

[Kuroimaken]

Because when I do both, I automatically look like a bearded version of Vega from Street Fighter.

It was delicious.

Amechra, we HAVE a food thread you know...POST THIS THERE I WANT IT EVERYWHERE IN MY LIFE

I'm currently listening to Mouth Silence, one of two remix albums by Lemon Demon.

They are all mash-ups. On crack. Not even normal crack; they laced it with something.

My current favorites are Space Monkey Mafia (mash-up of "End of the World as We Know It" and "We Didn't Start The Fire".) and Piss (I have no idea what 5-6 songs he's mixing together here; I know one of the them is Tubthumping, but beyond that...)

I highly suggest a listen.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, what am i listening?

[Amechra]

You are listening to beauty, friend.

Here, have an informational song about Furries, as sung by Jimi Hendrix (no really; it may be the best mangling of Purple Haze and Foxy Lady ever)

Hatsune Miku is going to perform on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 8th

That's really cool.

In other news, I completed my write-up review of Spears of the Dawn.  I feel really proud of myself right now.

On a recent discussion on a D&D-related group on Facebook, about among other things, source materials in English, research, and "comboing" (a pejorative term for min/maxing or optimization), I wrote the following:

"I have only the following to say in regards to this topic...

(Background music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1cpVEI7n_c  )

If there is a linguistic barrier, we tear it down! If a given reference material is provided, we seek it with our own hands! The magma in an optimizer's heart bursts into flames! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?! IF OUR PURPOSE IS TO IMPROVE OUR CHARACTERS TO THE ENDS OF THE GALAXY, WE WILL WITHSTAND ANY HUMILIATION!! WE ARE ROLEPLAYERS, YET WE ARE NOT ROLEPLAYERS! WE ARE COMBOERS, YET WE ARE NOT COMBOERS! WE ARE BOTH, AND WE ARE NEITHER!! WE ARE THE LEGENDS WHOSE NAMES WILL BE CARVED OUT IN THE STARS! OURS ARE THE CHARACTER SHEETS THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!"

Cue instant apology on the part of anyone advocating we provide only reference materials in Portuguese.

So it turns out that D&D 3.5 is accurate with how dual-wielding isn't that great!

D&D goes into the pitfall of "more weapons equals more attacks!". To an extreme extent, even, when you factor in creatures with more than two arms.

After i've seen this, i've been imagining a character i created once which was an Anthropomorphic Octopus, flailing his 6 arms like the guy in the video. It was pretty funny stuff. Of course, he was a grappler, so he didn't really flail all that much, but rather hugged people to death. And made them explode because of all that damage.
