What are the real limitations of RPG maker for those which used it extensively?

Like how is it with creating a combat system or adding party members for a player? It's it an easy task or even possible to do?

ICYMI: I got to write another subscriber story for Fallen London! Check it out!!

Failbetter Games - Wishlist Mandrake on Steam! @failbettergames.com · 20d

A pair of assistants wheel out a metal table, upon which a writhing, screaming number seven has been strapped. Its eyes roll around in its head. "Who would like to cut it open?"

The Exceptional Story for October is here! The Shape of Infinity, by Heather Flowers.

A white woman with bobbed brown hair and a blue, high-necked Victorian dress looks serenely at the viewer. One of her hands rests on a giant, curving entity which loops over her head like a massive shepherd's crook. It glows amber and is studded with slitted amber eyes.

I think one of the things not discussed enough is the foundations of the modern gop

They are the people who literally switched parties because the dems started supported civil rights in the 1960s.

Oppressed groups obtaining legal rights has always been a bridge too far for them.

The United States is in material breach of over five hundred - yes, 500 - legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations.

And lest you say that's because of Trump, we were in breach of at least 350 under both of the last two Democratic administrations.

So yes, we are an illegal occupation.

Conquering and colonization is the way people acquired land at that time in history. It was uncivilized and involved violence and yet that's how land was acquired.

You fought over it and, if you won, it became yours. I acknowledge that's how America came to be. I also acknowledge colonization was a bad thing for indigenous populations.

But I think you're reaching pretty far to try to claim America is an ongoing illegal occupation in present day.

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

can't wait for the next generation of liberals to start posting "joke if you must, but the young republicans of the neo-20s were nothing like today! no one was racist back when I was a campus republican." what do you think we'll call posts then? twimples? skrats? do you think we'll still have bees?

It's so fucking tiring and infuriating, which of course is another goal of racism

And it isn’t just the fringes—it’s time for well-meaning white Dems to have a come-to-Jesus moment about party leadership.

Sh*t is broken.

Y’all have to fix it.

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

Your twentysomething niece has fallen for the okie doke just as easily as your Boomer uncle.

Fuck, if we're being honest it's abuse at the systemic level to, but the way the state tries to maintain good relationships with some people is not really that different.

You know how people often point out that those who regularly engage in abuse often maintain good relationships with the people they don't abuse?

Racism at the personal level is abuse.

Like it is totally tragic that they don't care what white liberals think of them anymore and that the balance of power is such that they are able to do even more of this shit consequence-free but they were always calling us monkeys and hanging nooses at school and getting away with it. that matters.

I understand you're trying to make a somewhat different point from Amanda, but you're doing it in a way that at least gives the appearance of validating her point, and her point should not be validated

It matters that they are doing it in front of white polite company and also it matters that Amanda's opening premise was denying that they were ever doing it, which is a complete and deeply grotesque denial of the myriad ways that people of color were regularly targeted by these assholes

Things will stay stuck unless and until people reckon with why and how we got here *honestly.*

So far the self-distancing from the problem and "We'll Be Back/This is Not Us/Lets Sue Our Way Out of Authoritarianism" Juice is beating y'all's asses.

I promise the exceptionalism won't help.

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.

Nazis were always just like that it seems.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 19h

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”
