DDOSing is taking down a website, specifically by taking over a lot of other people’s computers to all try to access the website at once until it gets overwhelmed.

Doxxing is different. It means finding someone’s personal information (documents > docs > dox), such as their home address and phone number, and releasing it publicly.

Ha! After Thanksgiving dinner my family watched an episode of Nature about the animal life of The Burren in Ireland.

I learned that pine martens are very cute.

I found almost the same flag (no center star, and only 11 stripes), but it’s just some random thing on r/vexillology. Couldn’t find anything else. More likely a right-wing thing than some redditor.

That would be her in a cape and spandex, as the amazing Superuser!

Go the extra mile… Dildo Gaggins.

Ah yeah, makes me think of all the times I’ve had to move a couch into an apartment…

I don’t think I would call Buzz Aldrin “boring.”

The way the canton on the Balearic Islands flag cuts halfway into that stripe makes me very uncomfortable.

Edit: I’m usually not a fan of coats of arms on flags, but I like that the flag of the Canary Islands has some good bois.

I played Impossible Landscapes in 2023 and it was amazing. There’s some fantastic surreal stuff that still creeps me out just thinking back on it.

Mini Metro is great.

Riven, Shadow of the Colossus, and Guilty Gear Strive.

(in no particular order)

I play a variety of characters, all very different from each other, and mostly different than me.

My favorite character was in a game of Kult: Divinity Lost. The game took place around Detroit in the 70s, during the boom years of the auto industry. She was a housewife and church lady with an emotionally abusive husband and a son in college. Since a traumatic event in childhood, she’d had visions of things that she believed were angels, but were actually dark entities beyond the unravelling veil of what we call reality. By the end of the campaign “chapter”, with the help of the other PCs she had killed her husband (who turned out to be worshipping these entities), her son had died after a prophetic vision, and she had bargained with dark forces to make them give up her son’s soul from their tortures. Her faith is so strong, even after she abandons Christianity, that some powerful forces are vying for her, and she is trying to broker that power.

We’re going to be playing another chapter in a few months, and I have some exciting plans for her.

I’ve played a lot of PbtA games… but yeah, not Apocalypse World itself.

Because I hate clickbait titles: It’s Ayn Rand.

The flag of Wales is obviously the-- wait FLYING MOOSE?!

Snitoris. Er, Snitorises.

I’m a weirdo, so Massive Chalice.

It has a strange high-concept premise where you are an immortal ruler defending against a monstrous army that only attacks every decade or so. Any surviving individual squad member will only be able to go on a handful of missions before aging out, so you are also managing familial bloodlines to birth new soldiers, while controlling for genetic and social traits that get passed down. I love the uniqueness and big ideas. It’s far from perfect, but you asked for favorite not the best.

Hey, the bi flag similarity got me to open the post when the girl in the arcade hadn’t. Wish I’d been reading these the whole time though, great stuff! I’ll definitely check out future posts, no matter which image you use. :)

Huh, so it’s taking place in 2 AD instead of 2077. Weird direction to take.
