Let’s see what the old Steam recommendation queue thinks it’s going to sell me today.

Insightful as always.

Lily is Girls with the Ability

They Fight Again

This is a game about girls with the ability. You will take on the role of a girl with the ability, and explore the fundamental tension of being a girl with the ability.

Character Creation

You are a girl with the ability.

Choose a Number. Your Number must be in the range from 2 to 5, inclusive.

A low Number means that you’re better at solving problems with girl. A high Number means that you’re better at solving problems with the ability.

Decide what kind of girl you are, and give her a name.

After all players have created their girls, collectively decide on the nature of the ability.

Playing the Game

When you encounter adversity, decide which of the following approaches you intend to use to overcome it:

Pick up one six-sided die (d6), plus an extra die for each of the following conditions:

Roll your dice, and compare them to your Number:

0 successes: It all goes wrong somehow, and things get worse. 1 success: You get what you want, at a cost. 2 successes: You pull it off without a hitch. 3+ successes: You do it and get an extra benefit!

If any of your dice roll your Number exactly, you momentarily achieve a perfect synthesis of girl and the ability. Describe one thing that changes about the current situation as a result of your new insight; whatever you describe is true, regardless of whether your roll succeeded or failed. Afterwards, you may adjust your Number by one point in either direction, if you wish; the same minimum and maximum values that applied during character creation apply here.

Helping

If you want to help someone, describe how you’re helping and roll for it. If the person you’re helping is a player character, and you scored at least one success, they count has having help on their next roll.

what was the original game of that description because i think the original creators would enjoy you doing this to their grammatical malformation

@ my fellow adults who use tumblr a lot:

can you PLEASE put your age in your about/sidebar and make sure it’s accessible on mobile. imo if you’re an adult esp 20+ it’s a little weird that you wouldn’t have your age readily available on your blog. if you’re reading this now and you don’t have your age listed, please rectify that. i feel like teenagers get lured into talking to adults in fandom/lgbt spaces that they may not have intentionally sought out because they think they’re talking to other teenagers, and this can lead to a lot of other – much more insidious –problems

Can you guys step out of the tumblr “everyone over 20 is inherently predatory and creepy towards children” bubble for once and consider that encouraging people to give up their personal information for the imagined safety of the community is like…not safe?

this advice doesn’t even make sense for multiple reasons; if someone is intent on preying upon minors, all they have to do is follow your advice and lie about their age, being over 20 doesn’t mean you can’t be preyed on yourself, you should never be coerced into giving up your privacy on social media (seriously, did a fed write this?), and promoting the idea that turning 20 means your interactions with younger people should be viewed with suspicion is absolutely harmful, like OP do you have any common sense? At all?

“ignore your own privacy boundaries and discomfort and if you don’t idk 🤔sounds a lil sus 2 me, pedophile” will you guys stop larping as conservative politicians for one second please

think-of-the-children fearmongering is not the same thing as actually protecting minors

You’re talking about - much more insidious - problems while telling people if you don’t do what I tell you, you might be a threat to the safety of our community, like okay Dubya!

Let me tell you about the insidious things that happened when I was young in fandom spaces and older fans became my friends

1. I was taught real sex ed by a midwife, including a lot of pros and cons of various birth control

2. I learned you can just get anything printed into a book and having it in a physical book don’t legitimize something

3. I learned how to enjoy other cultures without making people from those cultures uncomfortable

4. I realized my guardians, while better than my past guardians, were still abusive and what I was experiencing was not healthy, even if distressingly common

5. I learned generosity without ulterior motives actually did exist

6. I learned I don’t have to abandon the things I enjoy as I get older.

7. I was taught ways to treat people differently in deference to their age while still treating them as peers.

(they treated me as an equal, but I was not included in any sexual discussions, for example)

8. I learned that friendships don’t have to be quid pro quo

All of these things super insidious and destructive to the conservative agenda.

Destroying the links between generations is part of how the powerful keep us from forming communities and bettering our lives. Don’t do the masters’ work for them.

The language of the OP is such dogwhistley language as well: ‘lured into’ ‘insidious’.

Friendships across generations is not a bad thing.

And also, maybe we are older, but we are also the generation who was told do not put your personal details - including your age - on the internet, because that opens you up to being targeted by people who will take advantage of you because of your youth and inexperience.

it is so fucking weird to me that there’s this whole culture of “omg what if I TALK TO A GROWN-UP that’s so CREEPY AND UNNATURAL” like…what kind of Kool-aid are they passing out on TikTok these days.

It also instills the idea that fandom is inherently a space for young people, and anyone over the age of 20 is encroaching on a space not meant for them. Which is horseshit. If you assume everybody on a social media platform is your own age, that’s on you.

Do you guys think Julian’s parents had a bad relationship, which lead to his negative views on the concept of marriage? Or was he just a professional slut and hater

I think lemurs are just like that

SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP SHUT-UP-UPUPPUPUPPPP

HASHTAG STAR TREK HASH TAG STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE HASHTAG JULIAN BASHIR

OP you're so correct tho. king julien is a professional slut and hater like.

you gonna look at this man and tell me he doesn't fuck nasty with a different person at least every week

A woman whose epilepsy was greatly improved by an experimental brain implant was devastated when, just two years after getting it, she was forced to have it removed due to the company that made it going bankrupt.

Specifically, because she couldn't afford to buy the implant from the company. They basically took her implant back to recoup their losses. This is what happens when you privatize healthcare and health research. The group providing her with this implant should not have been able to go bankrupt in the first place, let alone repossess her implant to pay off their debts.

What are they trying to say with this

I can’t believe it

it's been one of these days

Is this you guys?

Imagine if you locked Light and Patrick Bateman in a room together. They would be having the most generic conversation but you wouldn’t be able to hear it over the sound of their overlapping internal monologues. There would be a few seconds where their monologues both play in sync to say something misogynistic.

Danganronpa stuff. Monokuma and Monomi have sand art variants!

No no no you don't understand. I don't want to write a fic. I want to have written a fic. These things are not the same.

friend was lamenting the lack of girls in the shonen she was watching so I had some advice for her
