Something Mysterious Has Appeared

i miss her (ttrpg character i barely got to play)

I think my first fandom fandom exposure was arguably livejournal, but before that I was in a university RPG society, and before that I was making a weekly pilgrimage to Games Workshop to play games and talk about games, so I think "local club" is an honest answer, also this sentence is too long and must end soon.

Reblog and talk about your experience in the tags!

i still can't get over the fact that Warframe had a bunch of continuity problems and timeline plotholes and they fixed all of them by just. decanonizing linear time

Something I've seen a couple of times recently: "Credit to the original artist," or words to that effect.

I've bitched elsewhere to get the feelings out (tl;dr FUCK OFFFFF WHAT A NOTHING PHRASE), but here you're getting the positively-worded PSA:

Crediting art is a practical act to let people know whose work they're enjoying. It needs to at least include their name, and if at all possible it's polite to put a link to somewhere their work can be found so people can explore further. This isn't just a spell we invoke for politeness' sake: it's part of a healthy artistic ecosystem, and without actually connecting to the original artist it's not achieving that purpose.

"Credit to the original artist" invokes the form but has none of the function. It's wearing credit's skin but I don't care about the skin; I need the meat.

wow okay, unfollowing sisyphus now. big fan of his boulder, didn't know he was a tyrannical king who killed visitors to his palace to show off his power -_-

No, but I did think about the Ottoman empire a bunch. Vampire LARP does that to you sometimes.

The other day, I re-jigged a spreadsheet.

It took all I had to not name the 'summary' tab 'black arts', because to most people it may as well be witchcraft.

That should change, hopefully.
