Stop Normalizing Things We Are Running Out Of Weird Shit

The fun thing with it being a neurological thing is that some of the symptoms are closer to glitches in the ol' brain meats. Sometimes it's classic brain fog. Sometimes it just hurts like fuck. Sometimes I can't stand bright lights, sometimes loud noises. Once or twice I've had the 'aura' thing where a chunk of my vision is blocked by jpg artefacts. Sometimes I get show-tunes stuck in my head until I can find some Ibuprophen.

Migraines are crazy because you walk around thinking that just means when your head hurts really really bad but it's actually a whole neurological thing and it turns out the dull pressure/sensory overload/brain fog you get are migraines and once you start noticing it you realize you're having them like every other day and you think to yourself Hm! That's probably not good

I think it's funny that in French the word for "unicorn" is "licorne" because:

The word "unicorne" was first reanalyzed as "une icorne"

The definite article was then added, making it "l'icorne"

The new definite form was reanalyzed once again, resulting in "une licorne"

In the words of my people:

...Yeah, no.

love to get tours of architecturally award-winning buildings from the people that work there. especially libraries, for some reason. I have never seen a well-designed architectural library. highlights I have seen include:

it's mostly glass and all the panes leak (many such cases)

they forgot to account for the weight of books and now it's subsiding

it's mostly glass and therefore essentially a greenhouse. books and people studying famously love wild winter-summer temperature fluctuations

it's Round. books tend not to be

they put the radiator just under the window....which is a skylight

the only lift is for moving books, so if you can't use the stairs, you'll have to go out, use the main building lift, and come back in on another floor. doors on other floors need a special access keycard

we built this space specifically to house manuscripts but the temp/humidity control is always on the blink

the stairs/corridors are too Aesthetically Narrow and if you want to pass another person, you have to awkwardly crab shuffle past each other

there are no walls separating the library from the rest of the faculty building. no one's ever wanted a quiet study space, after all

I haven't done a My Warhammers post in a bit, so here's a corner of a Necromunda junkyard. Joined a campaign recently and the guy running it is making a silly quantity of terrain, and I wanted to contribute, so I put together some scatter terrain - market stalls, piles of tires, crates, etc. Checking my pile of random crap, I found a tiny resin TARDIS. I thought to myself "Can't spell WarHammer without WHimsy" and here we are.

No, my highschool had a haunted tower. I mean, it was a converted Georgian mansion built by a robber-baron to look like a castle, which I'm sure is a very common source of school buildings in the UK.

I could never be a protagonist because I'd just never move the plot along. "You have free reign of this castle, but don't go into this one area" Okie dokie. I mind my own business and hang out in the library. Queen of staying in my own lane. I'll never discover your magic curse.

The trick I hit on was to always contribute. Always ask questions. Offer opinions. Clarify acronyms.

Surprisingly quickly I stopped getting invited to meetings I didn't need to be in.

the whole "sao just awakens the 'i can fix her'-instinct in people"- thing is so fucking funny to me because literally not even the author is immune

reki kawahara really looked at his own novels and said "i can fix her" and that's why the sao progressive novels exist now

something about this story just does that to people, it's great!

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.

+1 for Heroforge. It's got a surprisingly broad range - I've used it for everything from Halfing Rogues to cold-war Magical Girls.
