Well, since it’s so nicely asked, here’s one. If you’re wondering why I didn’t lead by offering that, it’s a manner of stance. Shitjustworks made the choice use AI “art”. It was a political choice. This is a pro AI community. As I said, lines are drawn. Shitjustworks picked their side long ago, I was slower to pick mine. I now think that someone who’d chose an AI banner, even over the absence of a banner is not on my side. Anyway, waiting for you to see to this comment is the last thing I have to do before deleting my account, so please reply to notify me when you did, whethrt or not you have anything to say; and I’ll be on my way. As for this ‘banner’, I don’t believe it’ll be used and I don’t care if it is. The point of making it was just a point: Drawing isn’t a hard skill. Those who want to learn can. Those who ask receive.

It matters little since I’ll be deleting my shitjustworks account soon. Beside, I’m had an Hexbear account for about three years, the only reason I made an account on another Lemmy instance is that they weren’t federated then.

L’ironie d’utiliser des Gaulois qui se battent contre des Romain pour défendre l’Église et le vin*. Ça résume bien une incohérence fréquente dans la pensée des réactionnaires: Ils idéalisent une culture figée d’un passé imaginaire. Il n’y a eu aucune époque dans l’histoire où la France avait tout ce qu’ils revendiquent et rien de ce qu’ils raillent. Des imports et inovations qui ont changé la France sont légitimés à postériori, mais tout import ou inovation récente est condamnée par principe.

* Bon, j’ai vérifié pour le vin comme je ne voulais pas dire de conneries, et oui il y avait un peu de vin dans la Gaule pré-romaine, mais c’était plus rare que l’hydromel ou la bière et surtout importé, ou alors produits dans des endroits qui étaient plus de culture Grèque comme Massalia/Marseille. Ça reste les romains qui l’ont plus massivement importé. source

Makes me wonder what would’ve become of them had they accepted the lasagna. Was it poisoned? Would they have been stabbed as they reached for it?

Idk, I’m just a 21st century neurotypical man.

There was a part of my teenage years when I was really into these types of conspiracy theories,trying to find Baphomet the pentagram in all types of seals and insignas, like the NSA’s seal for example. This almost makes me nostalgic…

Well I’ll personally be shunning Eurovision once more.

I despise you. Wait, you’re fossilesque, the same fossilesque who posts many memes, often good ones? Why post this slop now, this is way beneath you!

I ended up drawing my vision of economy of scale

Econony of scales, you say… (vividly imagining a crocodile in a top hat)

Hummingbird wings tho, the ones that’d require the most constant effort… Unless reprogramming your brain to do it instinctively, it’d also demand constant concentration. And if you can do that forhummingbird wings, why not witg telekinesis?

I get that a gorilla is more likely to stand his ground, especially if it’s a silverback and he sees the bear as a threat to his pack. But I see the scenario where the bears deems it not worth it and leaves more as a “fight not happening” rather than “gorilla wins the fight”. Since the question implies a fight is taking place, I’d exclude this scenario and assume they must fight tooth and nail. And if that happens, I bet on the bear.

It always comes back to Gilgamesh.

Bear. Gorillas can get killed by leopards. Yeah, they’re musculars and got decently sharp incisives and pointy canines, but bears hunt large animals as part of their diet, so they’re better equiped to kill. Teeth, bite force, claws, thick fur to dampen attacks…

Does it count if it’s not done playing? If so “Vodou adjae in my ass”. Or " Vodou dances in my ass" or “Vodou adjae nan boudam” for language coherence. Otherwise “Stup virus in my ass”.

I knew a woman who was absolutely certain she could have any guy easily. it’s true she was most attractive, but also super toxic, like she really had a history of driving her partners insane. Then she took interest in a rich boy who’d recently made some successful investment in timber trade. The dude in question was no stranger to toxicity either, he’d been quite the fuckboy. One guy almost beat him up over this once and everyone cheered, but they ended up becoming friends, and his new bestie really had a good influence on him, he’d become a pretty decent guy. Anyway, the toxic lady made advances on the ex-fuckboy and he said “No, don’t take it personally, I’d rather not be turned into a donkey or whatever it is you do to your boyfriends, thanks you.”

But she did take it personally. Her old father owned quite the estate, including a very big, strong and aggressive bull. She unleashed it on the town to destroy the homes and devour the crops. The bull was also toxic, so no food would grow in its wake for seven years or something. But ex-fuckboi and his niceboi bff were very strong, so they killed the bull, and brought its carcass to toxic lady, as a sassy offering, which she didn’t appreciate.

Depends on how it’s handled from there, but there are quite a few fantasy lores wherein deities gain their power from the worship, fear, of even just awareness of mortals; so depending on this specific game’s lore it could make sense. But of course, that’s just the “why”, there might be cause for elaboration on the " how" and the “who”. Good stories could certainly be drawn from there, I’d imagine an entire order created for the purpose of enforcing the taboo around these deities, everyone with knowledge of them being forced to take vows of silence or be killed, massive burnings of scrolls, shattering of tablets, spying and inquisitions to find those who break the taboo… And certainly, there’d be some stuff in there that can somehow be tied to the main story. Maybe a group faced by the party could be the heirs, the ghosts, of the magical creations of that order. Or perhaps those of the repressed.

Should’ve said “prove it then”.
