It's only an acronym if you can pronounce it actually. Otherwise it is just an initialism.
Moonworm
It's a feral hog that shoots bullets out of its nose. Highly dangerous and a little absurd, but that's Qud for you.
Pirashku was an adventurous mutant with lightning in his veins and a want in his heart. He felt a kinship with artifacts and how they too coursed electric inside, so he grabbed his cherished electrobow, Cyclops and set off to learn their secrets in the Jungles of Qud.
He fell in with a tinker in the salt marshes and quickly proved himself worthy of introduction to the cult of Baruthram. He even made it to their doorstep with a collection of treasures from the time of the eaters in tow. But, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as he was, the slugsnout's leaden eruption was still faster than he.
Made sense to me at the time, but two years of genocide on I just don't care anymore. There's something to be said about the pushing of the symbol as part of the zionist project, too, but honestly I don't even think that's really important as more than an academic point. It just feel gross to be precious about this this far along.
Rocking out silly theme builds in Caves of Qud and then drawing some of them. I keep trying to make professor pikachu work, but he's just so squishy.
The game still has the weird tension of wanting to play like a roguelike with permadeath but also having a central storyline that takes time to complete. I've got a roleplay mode and a pretty survivable classic character that I got past Golgotha with if I want to keep going further into the game, but for whatever reason now I'm just enjoying rolling up new mutants and seeing how far I can get before I get sleepy or too cheeky trying to rob the chest behind half a dozen turrets.
You could do some interesting stuff if there's a section of vampires who aren't required to participate in violence to enjoy the benefits of their condition, while another number has to perpetrate it in order to reproduce their number. There's a perverse ethic to it, that some number of people have to be literally fed to the monster, but this enables more and more people to have lives of superb luxury and safety. Add a wrinkle or two and you've got a nice short story or novella right there.
Absolute fucking horseshit when we're talking about massively expanding our energy use to fuel AI datacenters and total surveillance. It's like scolding people for not recycling while increasingly making everything single-use plastics.
These are scary internet pedophiles, who are inherently othered as opposed to the good ol' boys on your local schoolboard or whatever. I don't think the willingness to ignore heinous things when expedient socially or politically precludes being disgusted and outraged by them otherwise.
As for what comes from this, I don't really know though. More control and surveillance of internet activities is in accordance with broader goals. I doubt that they'll come up with anything that particularly helps with online grooming or abuse, but it will look good probably.
I liked this build a lot but I didn't realize my character would steam itself shooting fire while in water.
It's a very positive profile. The quote is from a section where the interviewer asks him for thoughts on a series of people.
Grindr
Also yeah this sounds like a bisexual guy with a girlfriend
It's gonna be in middle english and I'm stoked
