nintendo doesnt lose money from fangames the same way authors dont lose money from people writing fanfics based on their novels. people dont abandon the source material for fan works. this is an absolutely unnecessary and cruel move toward people who are so passionate about pokemon they’re willing to spend years of their lives doing unpaid work to make a game people can play for free
the princess bride is exactly what a dnd campaign would look like as a movie like? the delightfully weird cast of characters with their own quirks, the strange pacing and narrative that still Works, the absolute absurdity of it all, the jumping back and forth between wanting to be serious and it being really funny, hell its even Told like a dnd story through the use of the grandfather being the one telling the story
what a fantastic fucking movie
also like the character backstories are SUCH dnd backgrounds like? “im out for revenge for my father who was killed by a guy with six fingers on one of his hands” “i bumped into a band of pirates and their leader liked me so much he ended up having me take on his title to retire”
that is the Exact shit that people come up with for dnd characters
DM: having narrowly escaped Humperdinck, you find yourselves in the dangerous Fire Swamps
Westley: do I know anything about this area? Any danger?
DM: roll a history check
Westley: 15
DM: you know of rumors of giant rats in the swamps, as well as quick sand
Westley: what do I know about the giant rats?
DM: roll nature
Westley: [nat 1] …… rodents of unusual size? I don’t think they exist
An oldie but a goodie. A good example of how much is out there in the insect world just waiting for discovery…in your own back yard!
One thing I like to stress when I’m promoting citizen science to kids and families: There is so much out there, you might discover something new if you just look.
If you’re interested in being a citizen scientist, check out iNaturalist [link]. You upload photos (it tracks when and where you saw something), and then you and experts will determine the ID of the organism. It’s good for any form of life, even that mold growing on leftovers that were in the fridge for too long!
So many people assume that biodiversity is all about big, obvious organisms, and end up underestimating how much there is to discover around them. Spend a sunny afternoon sitting in the grass and see how many individual plants, animals, fungi etc you can find in a few square meters. There is far more life out there than you might expect, no matter where you live! You just need to take some time to look and learn.
Yes yes yes. On iNat, I have a project to keep track of things I’ve seen in my yard. I do not have a large yard. It’s about 0.10 acre, whatever that means (I don’t even know how big an acre is, jeez).
And this is only the first 500 that iNat would load. There are almost 200 more. Every time I go in my yard, I will find something that 1) I had no idea lived in Austin, TX and/or 2) I had no idea existed, period.
The world is a mind-bogglingly fascinating place. You just gotta look!
Tieflings are capable of having grey skin, orange eyes, black hair and horns of a colour that’s not specified but definitely includes orange. What you do with this infomation is up to you.
I’m gonna use this information to break your god damn beautiful nose OP
