Just had my first game as a GM in lancer, it was a lot of fun actually getting everything to work. My group started in medias res fighting pirates that are trying to steal a ship that can make a whole planet habitable. The pirates aren't the best at their jobs, but the party made up of primarily strikers are doing a really good job at obliterating them before anything happens lol. We have: a Caliban that wants to punch people hard and shove them harder, a Peregrine (will make a review on that one later for those interested) that's built with a big sword that it swings really fast as it rockets into the ground, and around 10 auxiliary hand cannons split between two Raleighs. Needless to say I need to either provide more enemies or make the main ones more tanky.

The 13th century Swedish peasant boy who's crashing on my couch keeps eating my leftover General Tso's. I always tell him he can order his own but he's all "oh no, just wonton soup is fine with me, it reminds me of winters at home by the fire" but when I open the fridge the next day, what do I see? Not my leftovers! I don't even think they had wontons in medieval Sweden.

yall im at the arcadecommons workshop im so fucking excited im vibrating
thank you! im making sprites for a game in one of my classes so i figured id make this anyway this isnt really a proper way to color pixels; properly coloring pixels involves doing it by pixel and not using any anti-alias tool but im lazy so… extra tip: if you have graphicsgale you can reduce the color depth to make it look less like you cheated by going to All Frames > Color Depth… and then adjusting the colors in All Frames > Adjust color if it turns out too grey for you
i usually select Type A - 8bpp (256 colors) - Colors: 25. i dont put dither unless the drawing is really big
so ffxiv has this beloved meme
and a cn player actually put this to the test (thankfully with homemade ballistic gel, NOT with their actual butthole) and they even [ documented it here ] and i can't stop laughing
We are a rather small squad of mercenary Lancers that formed on a planet that Union didn't even give a name, just a number. I am callsign: The Fist. My pronouns are she/they and while I love women, I enjoy fighting a lot more. That's an open invitation to you strong ladies to hit me up by the way. The depressed looking one with blue hair is callsign: Metal_Star. Its pronouns are it/its and it seems to enjoy combat just as much as I do. That girl with fox tails and fox ears working on her mech is callsign: Lunar Fox. Her pronouns are she/her and she is definitely new to this mercenary business. I intend to help her learn the basics, like aiming for the weak points of an enemy mech without being afraid of a stray shot piercing the enemy cockpit.
Parents always say this:
"You're smart. Therefore, it's okay for me to expect more of you."
"You're smart. Therefore, I don't have to care how I explain things to you."
"You're smart. Therefore, it's okay for me to assume that any mistakes you make are intentional."
"You're smart. Therefore, if you say that you struggle with something, it's okay for me to assume that you're just lazy, afraid, lacking confidence, lacking motivation, or any other excuse to dismiss your struggles as fake.
but never this:
"You're smart. Therefore, I will put my authority aside and consider the possibility that you are right and I am wrong.
Like any abusive authority figure, they want you to be smart enough to uphold their authority but not smart enough to challenge their authority.
We've lost a lot to the onslaught of enshittification but I can think of none more brazen than Discord getting rid of the send button
