This is basic heritability, which you'd know about if you weren't born with original sin and mental limitations on account of your white mother

I can't help but keep thinking about Breaking Bad.

But no, not really. In hindsight, those things that happen in the show make total, perfect sense. Especially when you view Breaking Bad through the lens of it being a larger parable about the collapse of the United States. Not just Walter White is Breaking Bad, everything surrounding us is.

People just don't really give a shit about game news/review sites anymore besides adding another score and blurb to a game's Metacritic page.
This is the truth. Those metacritic lists are filled with hundreds of sites i've never heard of before, and probably half of them are questionable fanboy slop to try to rig those all important metacritic scores.. I legitimately cannot remember the last time i read a websites review of a game.
User reviews all the way. Someone like a steam reviews metacritic would be more useful.

https://longbournfarm.com/brown-eggs-vs-white-eggs/
Quote:Why are some eggs white and some brown?
The reason for different egg colors is actually quite simple - it all comes down to genetics! Different breeds of chickens have different genes that determine their feather color, size, and, yes, even the color of their eggs. It's similar to how humans inherit certain traits from their parents. Different breeds of chickens lay different colored eggs, and it's all perfectly natural.
Um, no? There is no such thing as breeds. There are various factors at play from history including social factors, and indeed heritability doesn't actually remark on the source for why a trait is the way it is. All it says is "this is a pattern in this population." For example, if you have five of the same chicken, and give all of them equal access to what they need to grow large feathers (food, water, access to art, creativity, music, etc.) and you see an equal distribution of this trait, feathers growing large, it's 100% heritability. If you were to have taken one of the chickens and given it shitty conditions, and it only grows small feathers heritability drops, not because of the biological potential of that chicken to grow, but because of its worse environment. That is, if you're not a science denier and understand that heritability is a just a thing.
And besides it's just a metonymy when we say fine feathered friends. We don't literally mean all chickens.

It’s great that Echoes has committed to being more open and proud about their sexuality. Only now can we understand they have a massive fetish for lesbians.
Again, they are fucking creeps. Imagine if someone in a LGS was talking about how the SoB needed to be more Lesbian. They’d very much be asked to shut up or not come back, because it’s creepy as fuck.

It's such a perfect analogy for Nepenthe. You know how often anti-racist ads are all about how we're all the same on the inside and how something as trivial as skin color really shouldn't matter? Well clearly Nepenthe cares more about the outside than the inside

An exciting update on Planet"Tolkein"Smasher's epic-LGBTQIAXYZ-I-am-an-ally-DEI-approved fantasy novel that he's spent the last 30 years writiing:

PlanetSmasher wrote:Yeah. I don't tend to read Sanderson's stuff (I am on a fantasy moratorium until I make enough progress on my book to not inadvertently rip off anybody else I'm reading) but I've heard his worldbuilding depth goes so deep it actually turns some folks off, whereas other folks find it the main reason to read his stuff in the first place.
It's something I grapple with a lot in my own writing. I LIKE to know every stupid detail about my pantheon, the history of my planet and all of the various cultures and factions that live on it, but...if I spend all my time writing about that I'm just gonna bore people. I have like 12 gods that literally don't appear in the story in any reasonable capacity but my brain is COMPELLED to learn exactly who they are and what they're like, lol.
PlanetSmasher wrote:Yeah. I have TRIED to make my magic system as easy to understand as possible from the get-go. It has pretty clear rules (and frankly is more or less a giant extended metaphor for income inequality disguised as a magic system) but it's also something that if someone WANTS to really dig into and go crazy with they probably could.
It was funny - when I originally was working on the setting by using my D&D campaign to flesh out worldbuilding details, I literally ordered my players to not ask questions about the eastern continent so I wouldn't have to write anything about it.
And then we spent an entire year on a seafaring adventure between the two continents and my brain was like "TIME TO FIGURE OUT THE EASTERN CONTINENT, IDIOT!!!!!!!" so I hoodwinked myself into worldbuilding a continent I literally disallowed my players from going to, lol. And now one of my favorite characters I've ever written is technically from there, even though he's only ever made appearances on the western continent, the southern continent and floating pirate metropolis.
A magic system that is a metaphor for "income equality"
