If you have your own world/setting, what is one aspect from it you really like or think is super cool?

If you do not, what is an aspect of a setting you like that you think is cool?

Genuinely interested to see what kinds of things people like about their worlds

What cool ideas yall have for your setting(s)?

I mean I normally have my campaigns in my setting i call ‘Godsholme’ and a big part of it is the direct interaction and influence of gods on the world, either with their presence or absence. I’ve been working and growing the setting since I was 12 so about 17 years now, expanding the timeline, histories, events and cultures. So i just have a lot of fun with it! haha. 

I’m currently running a campaign that is set on the supercontient of Pangea. Its set 1000′s of years in the future. In the time that has passed all of humankind’s gods have returned, waged a war that lasted an unknown amount of time and then... disappeared. During the time the gods were around though they manipulated humans to create the various races that you typically find in fantasy.

Remenants of the past can still be found scattered around the world, including ruined cities and ancient technology.

Lastly for some unknown reason (as far the players are concerned for now) there are one way portals that lead into this world from other dimensions. Anyone or thing that comes through is given the title of ‘Lost’ and must try and find their way in the world, though there are rumours that some people have managed to leave...

Article 13 has been approved by EU. It’s worse than Net Neutrality has ever been. I don’t even know if we will have any access to Tumblr, Pinterest, Ao3 or even Instagram. Memes are probably dead, just like reactions, fanfictions and gifsets. Everyone in EU is in danger that they will not have access to their favorite sites. But I haven’t seen a SINGLE post about it on my dash because Americans doesn’t give a damn.

Also, I’m in Europe and ngl, had no idea this was even an article up for debate let alone it being fucking passed.

Don’t panic! This was expected at this stage and it is only the beginning. If you are a European and feel passionate about this, please keep on reading and help!

So what has happened so far … the Commission has drafted up a long overdue copyright reform. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 It contains a lot of good, and some bad: mainly Article 11 and 13.

This was put forward as a whole to the European Parlament, where it was voted down on the 5th of July 2018

This meant, this will not go through the fast way, and will be subject to scrutiny and change. 

The Commission made some alterations https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 and put it forward again. If Parlament would have voted it down again, it probably would have meant back to the drawing board, but most people (including me) agree that Europe does need copyright reform, so on the second vote it passed the first step:

So what happens now? 

This will now go into what is called the Trilogue, where Commission, Parlament and representatives of all national governments will sit together to make alterations until everybody is happy implementing the regulation.

This means we can now influence this via our MEPs and our National Government!

In countries that are red your government is likely to support Article 13.

What to do now?

There are a lot of organisations that organise actions against article 13. Check out their websites and get in touch with your MEP or local government and let them know you are unhappy about this.

… and many many more, just google to find one in your country.

Also, as @asthesea-breezehitsmylungs pointed out, a lot of people are not aware of this going on. So make them aware! Share the memes and point them to the petitions. And don’t just complain how shit this is, get in touch with your politicians!

@thedenofravenpuff good news

If nothing else this needs to be stopped, this won’t just effect Europe this will affect everyone!

🚨Our last best chance to vote for net neutrality 🚨

Alright, Tumblr, we have a new mission: get the entire Internet to pressure lawmakers into restoring net neutrality before election day.

We’re two weeks away from the midterm elections and we need to educate as many people as possible about where their candidates stand on net neutrality before November 6th.

By now, I’m sure most of you are familiar with the FCC’s undemocratic repeal of net neutrality. The good news is that sitting members of Congress have the power to restore it using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) before the end of this year.

So we’re telling our elected officials: sign the discharge petition to restore net neutrality, or face the wrath of the Internet on Election Day.

Sitting members of Congress have had tons of time to do the right thing, but their time is almost up. We’re in the final crunch before election day and we need to make sure they know there is a massive voting block of people who care about this issue.

Here’s what you can do to help out:

We’re so close to saving net neutrality.

In May, the Senate passed the CRA resolution to overturn the FCC’s repeal in a historic bipartisan vote of 52-47.

Now all we need is for a simple majority of 218 House representatives to sign a discharge petition and bring the CRA to a vote.

Right now 177 members, including Republican Rep. Mike Coffman, have already signed on. We just need your help to pressure lawmakers to choose their constituents ahead of telecom lobbyists by signing the discharge petition.

Can we enlist you in the Internet’s most important mission?

Hope this will spread as much as save net neutrality posts

it’s way worse than that law actually, in US they “just” wanted your money, here the EU goverment wants to take our freedom without even giving a choice

SPREAD THIS

I’m just speechless. Dudes, this is wayyyy worse then The Net Neutrality bullshit in the US. Spread this like a wildfire! I don’t wanna lose everything I have thanks to this law!

Oh my gosh why am I only hearing about this now? Please everyone, spread this! Most of the time we talk about problems that are happening in the US but this time it’s in the EU and we need to stand against it!!

Please help if you can it’s going to make so much damage!  Just for an example, both of my blogs will disappear if it isn’t stopped, ao3 will also disappear for european countries just like every website like these ones.

So please, help!!

Actually reblogging that one because 1) I checked the original poster and 2) I felt doubt when no french media outlet that wasn’t obviously alt-right dwelved on the subject, so here I go with a list of reasons this post is dead wrong.

1) made by a self-proclaimed fascist with a blog called “Think-critically” whose blog is full of racist, transphobic, fascistic, mysoginist content. Allow me to doubt.

2) the guy in the video is a friend of the EDL. You can see another of his videos from 2 days ago where Tommy Robinson, leader of this islamophobic group which is on numerous hate watch list, supports this channel’s messages.

3) EDRI and Techdirt are also websites associated with the alt-right.

4) From everything I’ve gathered about said article 13. It’s actually meant to stop, block and disable fake news campaigns. Like the ones Russia did in France in 2017, the UK during brexit, Italy, Germany, Poland, etc…. It’s a way to also put responsability on websites that host the information (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. All 3 having a pretty tulmutuous relationship with European countries (Read: don’t comply with the law and refuse to pay taxes)) as a deterrent to make sure they’re careful during election season (Which, to their credit, they were during the Irish referendum, blocking foreign media outlets). That means

5) The alt-right just got 30k Tumblr users to sign a petition against blocking Russia’s interference in our elections, dressed it up as a brave struggle for freedom (This will END the internet guys. Trust me on this one. They want to destroy it because….. BAD. Not GOOD.) And y'all not checking your damn sources played right into their hands.

In conclusion: Fuck Putin and fuck the Alt-right, go out and vote, check your sources.

I reblogged this without that knowledge, having read two of the sources, and I apologise.

Thanks @lait-anis for the heads up :00!!

i reblogged this yesterday without checking my sources, but i sure as fuck am checking them now and this is what the eu is actually saying about this

https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/modernisation-eu-copyright-rules#improvedrules

and i believe this is the part these people are referring to

here’s a pdf file going into more detail

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52016DC0592&from=EN

since this is eu we are talking about in the spirit of that here is a link where you can read this pdf in your own language

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:52016DC0592

form your own opinions and contact your MEP’s based on those but don’t listen to anything made by a man who also has made these videos

there are even worse examples of this guys stuff but i can only stomach so much

This 👏 is 👏 important. Check your sources!

*Sigh* How many times do we need to fight the same battle? Once more into the breach dear friends!

You were one of the inspirations for me to start reviewing video games. I’ve taken more than a few leaves from your book and one day I hope to be ½ the games journalist you were.

Friendly reminder that this blog doesn't tolerate transphobia, biphobia or aphobia

Acephobia.... Aphobia is a lack of fear.

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help. 

Everyone’s starter anime is death note.

I don’t count sailor moon or dbz cuz you watched those as a kid and assumed they were cartoons.

I mean when you got “into” anime fully aware of what it was and actually became immmmmmersed in this bizarre weeb culture.

It’s usually death note.

Trigun, but I did go through the Light-is-right phase until I watched Code Geass.

Outlier.

Although I guess it was naruto or Bleach for some people.

 I got you all beat. The Original Big 3. Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll. And those when I was a child of 9. Death Note was WAYYYYY down the line.

Akira and bugglegum crisis. Death note was the tail end of my anime addiction phase

Mine was Naruto. Although I watched Shaman King shortly before on TV and I found out from my friend it was Japanese and I was like “whaat“

Death Note was one of the first 10 or 20 I watched though.

If you count the Studio Ghibli movies, then Princess Mononoke was my first introduction - mostly by chance and accident. From there, I saw a few others (Kiki’s Delivery Service, Ponyo, and Naausica) Then I started with actual series anime with (in order) - Negima (2nd version, then 1st version) - Freezing (don’t judge~) - Bleach (up until the end of the first major arc in the Soul Society) - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Eden of the East - Sacred Blacksmith - Red Line (movie) - Bamboo Blade - Full Metal Panic (all three seasons (season 3 is my favourite)) - Baka and Test - The … of Haruhi Suzumia - Lucky Star - Chobits - Angel Beats - Sword Art Online - Log Horizon - Arpeggio of Blue Steel

I may have missed some here or there - i’ll doubtless be corrected on both missing entries and spelling. But no - Death Note was neither my entry into anime, nor do I even have any interest in it based on what I’ve seen/read about it.

I think the ones that started me off were Outlaw Star and Ghost in the Shell (the movie). Ghost in the Shell really piqued my interest because I’m a massive geek for Cyberpunk and got me watching other anime within that genre.

Add how old you will be in 2024

29 why is everyone on this website so young

29 god I feel old

32. I had to do the math twice. I threw up in my mouth a little. 

And here’s where I make it weird. I’ll either be 40 or 41.

Now I just feel old....
