Eh. We know violent video games don't cause violence, so I see no reason to assume porn works any differently. Fair enough if that's not your thing, though.

There's nothing inherently wrong with watching porn. Most people do. For the most part, it's a normal and healthy expression of sexuality. As long as you understand that porn is fiction and bears about as much resemblance to real sex as the Fast and Furious movies do to real driving, you should be fine.

You're probably not "addicted" to porn. Can you be addicted to porn? Sure, but you can technically be addicted to anything. Porn is not chemically addictive the way, say, some drugs are. In fact, watching a lot of porn doesn't predict problematic porn usage--but thinking porn is morally wrong does. So basically, you aren't likely to wind up having a problematic relationship with porn unless you already feel guilty for watching it.

There's nothing inherently wrong with watching someone be degraded either, as long as you understand that porn is fantasy, the people in the video are acting, and you should never do anything like that IRL without consent.

Fair enough.

Come on. A lot of men being shitty doesn't justify violating the privacy of every man you're interested in. If you made this argument about ethnic or religious groups with higher-than-average crime rates, you'd rightly be panned for it. I'm a woman and I think this is awful.

In addition to the issues others have pointed out, reddit was like this back in the day too. It's not that weird, even if it is true.

I'm really interested in the ghost - does the party see her as well? Does she mess with your character? Hahaha

Only my character can see her. The ghost does mess with her, though it's mostly via making snide comments. But she's also useful, since sometimes she can be convinced to go check something out for my character and report back on what she finds. Also, my character often talks to no one lol.

Like fuck yes your wizard's familiar is an inch worm that no one ever notices just because an inch worm once crawled out of a spell book you were learning from and you laughed so hard, you snorted your health potion.

That's beautiful. I may have to steal that someday.

It's immersive. And I love it. Cute!

Thank you!

Yes, plus the tabby variants of those (i.e. tabby with orange splotches, tabby-and-white with orange splotches).

An actual sleep med.

No need to apologize for the rant! I enjoyed it.

I LOVE the concept of being cursed/blessed with earth magic in that way. And I love that you're playing her as a fucking idiot who hides that shit, haha. (Fingers crossed she and her village get cured.) Incidentally, two of my characters were/are hiding things from the party as well, though nothing of that magnitude. My cleric is hiding that she's literally haunted--her childhood friend's ghost, who blames my cleric for her death, is hanging around and pestering her. (The players know as of recently, but iirc their characters don't.) And my champion is hiding her ancestry. She wears a magical scarf that makes her look like a human, but she's secretly a ~~fucken furry~~ kitsune. No big dramatic reason for that; she just dislikes the attention it draws in an area where kitsune are relatively uncommon.

I really want to try playing a kineticist sometime, and not just because I've always wanted to be a firebender haha.

I want to try GMing someday, but I'm so intimidated. It seems like a lot of responsibility. I might try GMing a one-shot or two at some point to test it out.

Also, same re: Having a huge backlog of characters. I love coming up with characters, especially in PF2E.

Today has been okay for me. Had a doctor's appointment, which went fine. I've been sleepy all day, though, and suspect I accidentally took a sleeping pill instead of an antidepressant this morning.
