    Why is everyone on QQ so cynical?

    Yeah, fair. I don't really follow VTubers, so I don't have a reference point there. Nah fam. I think the core point is on the money. It's really the only question worth asking. People are getting a lot more cynical, even paranoid, over all. QQ is just a reflection of that. There's a lot of...

    Why is everyone on QQ so cynical?

    I mean, is QQ actually that much more cynical than the internet in general? Most people have gotten more cynical than usual over the past couple of years, and I'd imagine that most of the internet is a reflection of that. Honestly, the only places I've been that are more consistently positive...

    Rule 8 question

    Hoooh boy. Without delving too deeply into that particular mess, yes, the Electoral College is highly controversial and highly charged at present. Basically, as I understand it, Rule 8 is more about "Don't turn a thread into a hyperpartisan shitstorm nuclear flamewar" than actively avoiding...

    Why is every Worm CYOA such a disappointment?

    Eh, up to a point. It's actually pretty similar to how most magic superhero stories handle powers. Highly specific, not flexible, training doesn't make it stronger. About August Prince: There's two options. Number 1: Given that precognition is a thing, I'd argue that his Shard actually uses...

    Why is every Worm CYOA such a disappointment?

    Shards don't break physics, strictly speaking, though they bend it in some crazy ways. Most of their shenanigans have to do with manipulation of multiple dimensions and space-time weirdness that is theoretically possible. Lots of powers don't really work well in the Wormverse, as I think the...

    Why is every Worm CYOA such a disappointment?

    If you say so. I figured it was because there wasn't so much continuity crap to keep track of, more than anything. That's why when you do see DC inserts, it's almost always into Young Justice, after all. Makes it much less of a hassle. I mean, there is plenty of stuff to keep Superman, Batman...

    Why is every Worm CYOA such a disappointment?

    That defeats the purpose of using Worm/Ward as a setting, IMO. There really isn't much going for Worm/Ward except the combination of Cosmic Horrors granting powers to superheros and villains. The fact that most fics treat Worm as a setting that can be fixed by one good hero is a massive...

    Why is every Worm CYOA such a disappointment?

    Sure, I guess. I think the reason so many of read the same is that the vast majority of the Villains in Worm other than the Undersiders or Faultline's Crew ( both of whom barely count) are extremely unlikable, especially if you want to start in Brockton Bay, while most of the "Good Guys" there...

    Cambodia bans human breast milk exports

    Well, no. Monotremes all have milk patches, of which Platypuses are a part of, along with the Echidna.

    Chilord's Medical Situation

    While I'm not the biggest fan of his stuff, it always sucks when the fanfic community loses a prolific author. Sympathies to Chilord and his loved ones.

    Would you bang the avatar above you?

    D'waawwu: Yeah probably. Seems cute and that maybe she'd try to eat my flesh, which are two very important traits to have in a significant others.
