sequel to this

it’ll never fail to amaze me that chessex, the game dice company - like if you bought your first dice set from a game store/comic shop/card shop you most certainly bought a chessex set - has such an ugly and poorly designed website. it looks like they went out of business 15 years ago.

i don’t know what’s better, the fact that they only sell five different things and felt like they needed a site map, the single uk location with the giant union jack, or simply the times new roman header which reads:

“The coolest dice on the planet.”  ™

my mistake, literally every single page you click on has a different copyright date. so far I’ve seen 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and most recently 2012. amazing. well done chessex.

BUT LANA HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO ORDER DICE?????

you….you have to email them your order form. oh, gods. you…have to type your credit card information. into an email. so they can charge you seven dollars in shipping or 7% of the total order cost if it’s over $100. fuck. if you have questions about the cost of air shipping, you can fax them anytime. jesus christ. oh gods. fuck. fuck me up. chessex. the coolest dice on the planet.  ™

She also recently said that JKR’s TERF remarks are fascist. So please, continue to stan a hero.

And she’s a signatory of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, was one of the first people to say ‘fuck’ on British TV, proudly called herself a dyke during a televised Australian citizenship ceremony with their PM, and has been with her partner since 1968.

People will respect genderqueer identities until the person is amab and not transfem or afab and not transmasc. That's really where that ends, isn't it? Can't stand one second of no boxes until you get scared shitless, huh?

I cannot emphasize enough how much I am not exaggerating with this description.

LIKE

GIRL IS JUST FEELING HER UP RIGHT THERE ON THE CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYONE

All of their fight animations are literally like "Look out! Trouble! Quick, jump into my arms so I can hold you so tenderly!"

And then there's THIS which is just. Look this isn't even a metaphor at this point.

It carries over into other promotional art and stuff too:

And then there's this little gem from Minerva's bio

I'm unconsolable. Big scary killer robot and only her girl understands her. Jesus Christ. They put gay people in fighting games. And to think they said it could never be done.

And honestly? What a mood. Haha YES indeed.

In the first two photos the model is posed sitting down on a ledge, one being a full character shot while the other is zoomed in on the face, and in the latter two the model is in a t-pose. /End IDs.]

I did a little model of @hools ' character Girlcat for some practice (and just because I like the character/design ^w^)!! This was a really fun piece to figure out :3!!

I could talk for hours about the good parts of Super Metroid game design but by far the best part is the way it teaches you game mechanics. I adore how there are a few holes you can fall into where the only way to get out is to do the techniques that the silly animals in the hole are doing
