This one is pissing me off because there’s cheese in it. I’m not sure there’s a period of Chinese dynastic history wherein the type of dudes likely to be having rap battles would also have been familiar with hard cheese. There’d be political fucking implications to that. Fermented dairy products were often seen as uncivilized foods, and were associated in particular with northern “barbarian” cuisine (see: <lactose intolerance in Eurasia>), whereas competitive poetry was viewed as a civilized and scholarly pastime appropriate to civil servants and courtiers. Mentioning cheese in a verse which also references the heavens could be seen as an effort to legitimize the presence of these dangerous foreign elements within Chinese society, and, thus, as seditious. If dairy were to become a common theme in rap battles, it might be viewed as a dangerous sign of poor morale and defeatist thinking among the literati. “Emperor, we have got to move the capital to the south. The scholars are rapping about cheese. It’s all falling apart.”

Now this is a fucking post

Okay but doesn’t this legitimize the use of cheese as a derogatory tool in this verse?

Because the whole point is that the wife of the opponent is bad and stupid. If cheese is babaric, then doesn’t it make perfect sense to demean her by claiming she loves it so much she wears it all over AND inflicts it on the heavens, committing a transgression inconceivable to anyone with even the tiniest speck of good taste?

Doesnit delegitimize the verse or does it mean the writer went even harder than we expected?

Ian Stone, Doubting Thomas, oil on linen, 12x16 in, 2023

“If you know the painting by Caravaggio, Doubting Thomas, it was my direct inspiration for this piece.

A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience. 50-60 years ago, it was not uncommon for people to think or believe that being gay was a phase or a mental illness or deviance in some shape or form. It’s embarrassing that the same things are being said about trans people today.”

STOP SCROLLING!!! THIS IS NOT A PHOTO IT’S OIL ON LINEN!!!!!!!!!

The real problem with all existing tabletop RPG adaptations of the Teenae Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise is that in not one of them are your core numeric stats “Teenage”, “Mutant”, “Ninja” and “Turtle”.

“But what about characters who aren’t teenagers, mutants, ninjas and/or turtles” obviously other sorts of characters would have different but equally weirdly specific core stats, with the guiding principle that the resulting phrase must fit the same metrical rhythm as “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle”. So, for example, Daredevil – who absolutely exists in the TMNT universe, and don’t try to tell me otherwise – might be a Sightless Catholic Ninja Lawyer, with core stats of “Sightless”, “Catholic”, “Ninja” and “Lawyer”.

(For those about to remark that this hypothetical game is clearly just ripping off S John Ross’s Risus, a bit, yes, but mostly it’s ripping off Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls.)

So is it more important if non Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have four words for their alternate stats or that their alternate stats scans to the 80s TMNT theme song?

They are both basic requirements – it’s not a valid statline if either criterion is absent.

(Note, however, that this doesn’t necessarily mean each of the four words needs to have exactly two syllables; as @theemjay notes, “Girl Reporter” scans to the same metre as “Ninja Turtle” if you’re trying to stat up April O'Neil. This does, of course, oblige us to assert that “Girl” is an identity on par with “Ninja”, but if we’re talking about the 1987 continuity that’s probably accurate!)

The fascinating thing about this particular patch note is that it implies the game engine is fully rendering your character’s penis at all times, not just when you take your pants off.

I’d say it was because they were accurately rendering the bulge, but if they’re clipping through, that clearly can’t be the case either.

Even if they wanted the bulges to be meticulously accurate, the sensible approach would have been to include a hidden penis size slider in the mesh for the trousers. That way, you could render the trousers with a bulge of appropriate dimensions baked into the mesh and simply switch the penis off whenever it’s fully covered; it’d be hugely computationally cheaper than doing fabric simulation to determine the bulge dimensions dynamically, you’d save on running needless penis physics calculations whose results will never be seen by the player, and there’d be no risk of penis clipping. The way they currently seem to be doing it is just sloppy penis optimisation.

Roomba kept crying because she couldn’t find her spring toy and uh. Well, she had a good reason for it.

She’s blind, she makes a lot of different sounds, and her poor social skills mean she tries to groom any other cat she bumps into. She doesn’t bump into furniture or walls anymore but she used to. Whenever she bumped into something, she’d just turn around and keep going.
