Sometimes I really want to read a short summary of what to expect from a game… and thankfully people can also submit their summaries of games they played and help me (and others) find games that cater to their interests!

what to expect from IRON DANGER
Steampunk tactical linear game which uses a unique time mechanic feature, allowing you to undo your actions in time when they go wrong or the final outcome is not satisfying.
This game is not an RPG despite being called as such. It has no XP or loot or items. You do not make choices that influence the story. It is a completely linear experience. Character progression is based on milestones, which allows you to learn and upgrade skills at the end of a chapter or mission.
Soft lore inspired on Finnish folklore and especially on the national epic compilation called Kalevala.
Your main char is a girl called Kipuna.
You find three companions along the story. One of them can always be used during your exploration and combat.
Real time with pause / time control combat features. You can use your environment as part of your strategy too ( by using objects that explode or poison those who stand close to them, for example)
There is no exploration or open world style. Every mission is settled in a level that must be fully completed to finish it.
There is no manual saving and instead the game autosaves between levels. During missions you can rewind to save a dying character, but you cannot rewind all the way to the beginning, so if you play too recklessly you can still lose the mission.
It’s claimed to work only in Win 10 but I played it in win 7 without problems.
It can be played entirely with a two-button mouse with relative ease, though many keyboard shortcuts and functions also exist.
Beautiful design and art, and a really good work in voice acting. All characters are voiced.
The ending is unsatisfying, leaving you with the feeling that the “real game” has just started. It can’t be called a cliffhanger because it’s really too rough. It seems that the developers wanted to keep it truly open (maybe too much) for a second game.
Short game, around 12 hours of gameplay.
——- Plot? ——-
Iron Danger is set in a Finnish folklore-inspired world following the story of Kipuna, a normal village girl whose home is unexpectedly razed by Northlander invaders. During the assault, while trying to escape from the madness, Kipuna ultimately falls to her death. Thanks to divine intervention from a forgotten god, Kipuna finds herself revived with the ability to manipulate space and time. Before she even has much time to mourn the loss of her home or even get a chance to think, Kipuna is soon thrown into a larger conflict that could decide the fate of civilisation.
——- Gameplay? ——- 
Typical for a tactical game with pause. The timeline mechanic actually most closely looks like something you would see in a video editing program, but instead of lining up clips/audio/effects, you're lining up your attacks and character positioning. Each movement or action takes up slots on the timeline, each slot called a heartbeat, and learning how to modify the system is effectively how you play the game. Throughout Iron Danger, you are controlling two characters, Kipuna and a different companion depending on where you are in the storyline.
——- Characters? ——- 
Kipuna as your main character who works like a mage/soft healer and her three companions: Topi, a dwarven blacksmith who works like a warrior/tank, The Healer, who works as such, and Lemichen, a rogue-like archer.
——- LGBT? ——-
None.
——- Sadness level? ——- 
None.
——- Happy ending? Deaths? ——-
Unsatisfying ending due to its abruptness, clearly leaving open the need for a second game.

Itty Bitty Prompt
Jason: Hey B you remember the talk you gave us on where babies come from?
Jason, punching him: You fucking lied
Jason, holding up a twelve year old: Babies come from crime-filled alleyways wielding weaponry while attempting to take out your kneecaps

Idea!
Whomst???
So, let's take canon Danny Phantom. We can even take the AGIT, that would only make him canonically 16-17is for this scenario. (Btw, poor Val. I'm seriously so sorry for her)
Danny is flying around the Infinite Realms to familiarise himself with it better. Look, if he decided to be the Bridge, he has to learn more about the Ghost side of his life. Their customs, quirks, limits, world... from someone who isn't a Fruitloop or his parents. He is still ashamed that it took meeting Dairy King to finally realise that not all Ghosts are evil.
He got to a section of many, many, MANY, natural portals that led into completely different universes. Most of them even had Heroes!!!! He was so exited!
He visited many in the next few months. Made friends, confused the heck out of locals. Made some enemies, cause that's just his life.
Spiderman was cool! Iron Man was so fun to prank, the guy was a billionaire and hilarious.
Even if he never was able to speak with the vast majority, those Japanese Heroes with cool superpowers were awesome. He was kinda glad his world was normal-is tho. Call him judgmental, but come on, look him in the eyes and tell him that you wouldn't be weirded out by some of the mutations.
And now, he spotted his new target. From what he gathered, they were an urban legend of the gloomy as heck city. Robins,... bats? or something. Time to make friends!
And close the leakage of the Raw, unfiltered ectoplasm into here. He had only been around one for an hour and he saw how problematic it was.
Aka
Danny is a gremlin in canon. He found cool portals. He will make it other's problem.
Yes, he keeps his identity hidden. No, he doesn't stay invisible all the time. Only initially to get some info. After that? You'd spot him openly bothering the superheroes. And rogues. Can't let them be left out.
What are they gonna do? Kill him? They can't even touch him most of the time.

The idea that GRRM is anti Tolkien is particularly funny because ASOIAF is sprinkled with rather intricate (and even passionate) homages to LOTR. And I can’t help but think of how Tolkien’s Fellowship, more specifically the Hobbits, may have inspired GRRM’s Night’s Watch. Jon Snow, for starters, is in many ways a combination of LOTR’s Frodo and Aragorn. And in the same way that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are unexpected heroes in LOTR (because who looks to a hobbit as the face of an epic adventure?), Jon the bastard becomes the leader of a ragtag of socially disenfranchised men (in the form of the NW) who are anything but heroic. Sure there’s the odd knight or noble in there, but the NW is quite full of criminals and the very worst of the social order. The hobbits aren’t the strongest or the sharpest but they become the face of the fight against Sauron. And the NW, while being severely undermanned and under-equipped, has become the main force that stands against winter. GRRM even adds a love letter to Tolkien’s Sam Gamgee by adding his on Sam - Sam Tarly - who acts as a moral compass and counselor to Jon, in the same ways that Sam Gamgee is key to Frodo’s journey. And just like Frodo, Jon gets his very own pair of jokester friends, one of whine is even named Pyp. So it’s all very beautiful and nice, and we should talk about it more because it’s super evident that GRRM is a massive Tolkien fanboy. But I do have to say tho, GRRM’s take on Gandalf is exceedingly hilarious just because Melisandre is famously very bad at her job.

Now that I think of it, Childe never looks intimidating, even when he actively tries to.
Uncanny? Yes. Unpleasant? Also yes. Somewhat inhuman? If you look long enough. But never scary.
In fact, he's notoriously bad at intimidating people.
Compare that to Arle who puts everyone on edge just by being perfectly polite.
Upd: actually I can't figure this one out. He has that scary vibe for me personally, someone I would try to avoid in real life.
But other characters never react to him in that way.
(and even for me he is more of a "poisonous, don't touch" scary rather than "might attack you, back away slowly" Arle type of scary
blue ring octopus character design. you assume it's merely poisonous but it's actually venomous and deadly)

So. The first rabies vaccine was introduced in 1885. That is a little over 10 years before Dracula. Why are we being so casual about the alleged bat bite on a small child?

I agree that drugs should be legalised and not stigmatized but you're delusional if you think "most drugs can be consumed completely safely with almost 0 risk to the user"
I think the key here is the word "can" by which I mean that if consumed in safe doses and safe environments and from safe sources etc most like mainstream drugs (I'm thinking of like mdma, LSD, shrooms, ketamine, coke) CAN be consumed safely with very little risks. I know this to be a fact #1. because I've done a lot of actual research on this where I've read numerous sources from scientists doctors and users as opposed to just say taking in the abstinence only information I received during school, reading a couple Tumblr posts and assuming I know everything there is to know about the topic and #2 I've used every drug I just listed and more and never suffered any adverse effects because I did my research, tested them for impurities when appropriate, and took other measures to ensure my safety
there are obviously exceptions and drugs that just shouldn't be fucked with (meth and heroin is what I'm thinking, but I also know people who have consumed these once or twice with 0 repercussions because that's how human experience works), but if you're actually interested in learning more about the many ways in which you were lied to about how "illegal drugs" are somehow automatically much worse for you than prescription drugs or socially acceptable drugs (like caffeine and alcohol) then feel free to either 1. do your own ACTUAL research that does not involve trusting for profit rehab centers and abstinence only educators (I'll even get you started with a couple good resources) or 2. message me off anon to have a real discussion about the mechanisms by which the most common drugs operate and the ways in which they can be consumed as safely as you can consume alcohol cigarettes and energy drinks but sending me your half cocked uninformed and unnecessarily insulting opinion on anon is not exactly productive. additionally, I'm sure you can see why I struggle to see or believe that you ACTUALLY think drugs should be destigmatized and aren't just parroting what you think the correct woke opinion is when you refuse to even take the very first step to destigmatizing drugs, drug use, and drug users and actually unlearn all the stigmatizing things you've been taught
I know that it's a lot easier just to port over all the things you've learned from dubious sources that you trusted implicitly because they claimed to be an authority and not actually do the work required to achieve the goals you claim to support, but easier doesn't mean right

I have a possibly dumb question Is it anti-Semitic to want a ceasefire? I genuinely am confused (I am Autistic) Is it okay to want a ceasefire Because I'm never like "Jews are bad, We need a ceasefire" which I know would be anti-Semitic and I don't believe that at all but I do want a ceasefire in Palestine. Is That bad? I am genuinely curious and I apologize if this accidentally comes off badly My Austistic brain is just confused.
It didn’t come off badly at all, anon, don’t worry about it!
It is not antisemitic to want a ceasefire, as far as I know most Israelis want a ceasefire just as much if not more than the int community (but my fellow israbloggers, y’all can chime in with your own input on this, you’re more than welcome to). And again, afaik the only thing standing in our way is Hamas being Hamas (and maybe also Bibi being Bibi, but my ADHD brain is bad at retaining most things that go on the news lately).
And this is me just trying to get help with wording things out better and also some correction on whatever I’ve said - @anon-e-has-a-tmblr @homochadensistm @thisgingerhasnosoul (sorry for tagging yall just like that), please help me out here? Words aren’t my strongsuit.

you ever think about how MK never gets a chance to really define himself?
#had this thought while driving home#like he barely even gets any chance to place some identity other than monkie kid and delivery boy bc he always gets interrupted#every villain has their own preconceived notion on who and what he is#Demon Bull family saw him as a ‘little thief’ and ‘noodle boy’#Spider Queen called him junior or something????#Macky even told MK that he is nothing w/o the staff. He also projected a lot of his anger with swk to MK bc he saw a lot of similarities#LBD did one better and shattered his own self worth by feeding into his insecurities and trying to mold him into her pawn (champion? will w#ever know what she wanted and why she wanted Mac to capture mk and swk???? what was their role that she wanted them to play???)#Azure even tries to assert his own perceptions on MK in the special and oh boy how he snaps back (🥰 so satisfying)#‘Oh there’s nothing mindless about me…friend’ <- one of the rare times MK puts his foot down when other try to assume what he is#I betchu s5 will focus on MK grappling with his identity bc we laid some foundations he is ok with acknowledging it#But actually processing what this meant for him? I have a guess that he wants to avoid that#And the ironic part is that swk (if he knew which I think so) is now the one trying to get MK to communicate his thoughts and feelings#It’s swk who warned MK about the dangers of hiding or avoiding huge issues like having a giant & powerful monkey form#bc swk has spent like the past 3 seasons doing the opposite of what he’s preaching to MK at the special (this is why i love him he’s trying#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk mk#lmk qi xiaotian#qi xiaotian
