One of the most common questions I get about my games is "can I play as this? can I play as that?", and I'll level with you: basically every game I write is about a narrowly focused experience, so if you're the sort of player who's afflicted with the contrarian urge to insist on playing a character who's the exact opposite of whatever type of character a game is notionally about, regardless of what type of character that is, you're probably not gonna have a good time.

Omg Emily my beloved darling I'm love her. I drew her in pastels forgetting she's more of a jewel tones girl 😔😔😔 sorry emi I love u still

I finally got around to building and playing ninjago the board game and oh my god it is the cutest thing ever

It's a very silly game, easy and luck based mostly. I played 3 times with my dad and we won all 3, only getting to the final battle once

It's adorable! All the game pieces are TINY. 1x1 lil guys <3 I held zane to give you some perspective. My hands are too wobbly to get a clear picture of all of them but I tried

Also the best part I had no idea about: at the end of the instruction book THERES A LITTLE COMIC AND ITS THE CUTEST THING EVER

LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT THE BABIES. I WOULD DIE FOR THEM.

Anyway I'm happy :D if anyone wants to know how the game works/how to play I'd love to explain

So I have been getting back into BattleTech, recently. Having only ever played a few of the video games, I've been diving deeper into the lore and have just discovered something amazing that many in the modern fandom seem desperate to ignore.

BattleMechs essentially amount to heavily armed nuclear fusion reactors on legs. The more rigorous activity you put a these giant war machines through, the hotter it'll run. This means that, if you are the squishy and vulnerable human who is piloting said 'Mech, you are going to be subjected to very, very high temperatures.

The original, canonical solution to this problem? BattleTech being an IP that dates back to the 80s, your average 'Mech pilot uniform consisted of the helmet that makes the giant robot go vroom, a vest filled with coolant, your skivvies, and not much else.

Examples of this include:

Yes, it's like something out of that Sean Connery sci-fi movie where he wears a weird leather-strap sci-fi thong ensemble. Old school 'Mech pilots literally be rocking in as little clothing as possible for "heat management." I love 80s sci-fi.

Unsurprisingly, contemporary BattleTech lore has explained that in the past there were nice, non-kinky cooling suits 'Mech pilots could wear so they wouldn't cook to death in their cockpits. These suits were considered "lost technology" for a while until they were conveniently rediscovered and began to be implemented again.

Thus, the modern games and fandom have a nice lore explanation for why MechWarriors no longer wear speedos into battle, with some making a point to never mention that such things ever existed at all.

I call those people cowards.

#Look all I'm saying is that if you want to be faithful to the lore #any Mechwarrior game set pre-Clan invasion shouldn't have cooling suits #therefore you need half-naked people in dorky helmets #fighting to the death in their sauna-robots #it's the only way #BattleTech #Mechwarrior #Mech Pilot #Giant Robots #Mecha #80s Sci Fi

Guess who learnt there’s no profanity filter for AC names

#ac6 #armored core #armored core vi #armored core 6 #my work #f slur reclaimed #f slur #do the other pilots see your AC’s name? because you know I beat the game 3 times with transfaggotronics

It's kinda funny to me when people are like "Abed listens to Mitski" look I love Mitski but Abed is strictly someone who listens to They Might Be Giants and nothing else.

#also Weezer if you count that one detail in the pilot episode's script #I can also see him being a video game ost guy but not in a way that makes me want to claw my eyes out #community #abed nadir

My opinion will not be lenient My opinion, it's real convenient Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action We don't get enough love? Well, they get a fraction They say "How could he go if he's got everything?" I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king

About Mech Pilots:

There are many different kinds of mech pilots. But they can be arranged into a spectrum with monotask on one side and multitask on the other.

Multitask pilots have a life and skill sets outside of their combat vehicle. They can still be dangerous without their ride because of their tactical and political acumen. Examples of such pilots can be found in Titanfall, Lancer, and Battletech/Mechwarrior.

Monotask pilots are essentially organic control devices mounted inside the mech. They have slightly more personality and agency than other system components like an autoloader or jet thrusters. But the pilot is just as useless as those things if removed from the greater whole. Examples of these pilots can be found in Armored Core and Warhammer 40,000.

There are pilots that can fall between these extremes such as conscripted civilians, venerated sacrifices, or artificial intelligences. Examples of these beings can be found in Mobile Suit Gundam, Gen:Lock, or, again, Warhammer 40k.

There's no wrong way to portray pilots. That being said, I'd love to read stories where pilots from across the spectrum interact with each other.

Little late this year, but joining the festivities: Ides of March is an awkward day to be SHSL supreme leader probably.

I am 95% certain its canon maki pulls on her hair as a nervous tick and we should draw it more. Also, don't worry about the parallels to Kokichi taking one for the team to keep blame off Maki for something again or the spread of Uncomprehending why someone would do something nice for you to their own detriment (but this time in lighthearted context) its a gag comic its fine

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

#taz balance #the adventure zone #taz #i have. so many drafts of this post decontexualizing so many different scenes. #merle killing a room of autism creature looking things by asking them to tell the truth which then summons god #also merle retiring from his retirement to run fantasy margaritaville under the title Earl Merle #magnus the mannequin telling taako and merle to find the baby voidfish bc the big voidfish sung at him real hard bc in the century he #just now remembered (bc hes a mannequin not a human boy) #he gifted an alien jellyfish with dozens of shitty wooden ducks. he forgot that century bc his friend fed the jellyfishs baby a book #the gnome version of Teddy Rucksbin turns out to be the universes most competent spaceship pilot. hes also a talented opera singer #a man named Barry Bluejeans is dead and uses his ghost haunting powers to gift the three heroes badges that they cant see #right before theyre shuttled off in a cannonball to save a space lab full of kitschy elevators thats snowing pink tourmaline #barry also uses his ghost powers to hold hands with magnus and make random shapes in midair like a dresser when theyre trapped in a #fantasy version of The Dating Game hosted by ghost Jesse and James Rocket who steal bodyparts if you lose their game. #or like in campaign how a dude who wiped out in the first three seconds of ninja warrior convinces a human wifi router #who owns a bible theme park to take the apparent King of America to the white house on their hovercraft to be trued for treason #after he announced his intent to take over the country in a televised debate with an inuit goddess who is sometimes trapped in the body #of an HR worker all Donald Blake/Thor style #anyways. this show is ridiculous and i love it So Much

"Domiciles"

What other clone in the galaxy uses that word, besides Tech? He cracked Phee's encryption on her navicomputer without issue, which you can bet was pretty advanced.

But...maybe he isn't as brainwashed as he appears. Did anyone else notice how the typical clone accent was heavy when he was talking to Hemlock, but he sounded more like Crosshair when he was on Pabu?

There was a whole ass Imperial cruiser on Pabu, equipped with detention cells and hundreds of armed guards...and he just threw the highly essential asset in the back of his suped up space corvette and said, "she's with me", before he peaced out and left his imp buddies. Highly sus.

ngl while i love the implications of the elemental masters there’s a criminal loss in the canon now that wu was just collecting the kids of his old friends. how dare they play down the utterly deranged nature of wu going “oh no… my brother is Returning…” and grabbing literally three random kids out of the suspiciously scenic countryside and then his (presumably dead) bffs’ son for shits n giggles. and it WORKED

#text✨ #ninjago #ninjago wu #slash jay this is comedy. i do genuinely love the retcons #this has once again been ‘jay rose thinks about the world presented by the pilots’ #yknow i SAY i love how future knowledge changes the context of earlier installments and i DO. but also the pilots are so so funny if you #think about them without the later context #this is 100% what the developers of LEGO battles ninjago thought lmao #god. zane wasn’t a even a robot when that game came out. wild

While I was taking pictures, some ducks came up to observe us and see if Pilot was okay... From a safe distance, of course.

(made him in 2020 using felting. Didn't made Navi tho, but maybe I should give Pilot his friend back...)
