Grain of salt, since I am not an expert in politics or foreign relations:

From my understanding this would go a long way to establishing an international condemnation of the US's treatment, as well as make it significantly easier for queer folks in the USA to seek asylum in Canada

Thank you, @chiitan.love !

Hey! Canadian friends! You should sign this petition to get Canada to officially recognize the danger that the current US administration poses to queer folks!

Non-Canadian friends, you should boost this instead!

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

It’s Astoria’s turn to get her religious trauma relieved by dragons

Nearly TPK'd at D&D tonight ✌️

RIGHT

Okay, but what about an awakened Owlbear juvenile that wildshapes into a gnome

And a flumph cleric

And a gnoll warlock

...

Alright, I'm gonna go through the monster manual and whip up some characters for a one-shot

Look, I just think a band of gremlins sounds fun, okay?

... okay who wants to do an "Oops all monsters" campaign. Just a lil guy edition. Kobold, goblins, kenku, and the like

Just a lil hoard of creatures trying to fit into one trenchcoat, basically

... I see some gaming PCs near me on FB marketplace within my budget....

Also heck, I actually think I have a free pass from being a Geek Survivor finalist last year. So I guess I've GOT to go.

Didn't realize how close Sci-Fi on the Rock was!

Guess I have plans that weekend

Which I guess means I'll have a lil more artist alley money than usual! Still want to save for PC with trip leftovers, but I do like supporting the vendors if I can

Oh hey, I'm home

Oh hey, it's snowing

As is tradition
