       Getting boosted by corners of the fediverse I've never seen and may never see again,Shit feels like crowdsurfing except instead of trying to get to the stage I'm trying to get a comment from one of the 42 Black folks on this service

       So in #TTRPGs there's this idea of a "gish" (https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/999coq/where_did_the_term_gish_come_from/) which you can loosely understand as a warrior/caster hybrid. Battlemage or Red Mage or a bunch of other terms are near synonyms. Martial + Magic, and you can look up endless questions/discussions for several #RPG systems about the best most satisfying way to make on in that systemExtrapolating the concept past #RPGs though...Most characters in 2D #fightinggames fit the strict definition. Let's walk through the #FGC brieflyRyu/Ken/etc and their hadouken/hadou in #streetfighter, not to mention that Guile is canonically just... able to control air currents with his limbs. In #Kof #TheKingofFighters  Kyo and Iori have their flames, and Terry Bogard is effectively a geomancer. Hell, #MortalKombat is based on elemental ninjas. SubZero is called a "Cryomancer" in official game profiles. If you want examples with weapons, try #GuiltyGear. Sol, Ky, I-No. Weapons, spells, melee proficiency. Right there in easy convenient packages for you.In this case, I'm just hella interested in how what is very very common in one genre of #videoGames is a special unicorn elsewhere, but the playerbases don't have much overlap.

       #art by the fantastic TheJefersonChan https://twitter.com/thejefersonchan https://www.deviantart.com/thejefersonchanA scene from an upcoming #BeatPreyLove chapter I'm writing. Their twitch streamer friend asked Flor and Hanna to make their #MMA fight "exciting," and at least one of them got the message.

       Today's #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #Blerd moment asks "What if the Kings of comedy has been Kings of Commerce instead?"My #MasksTNG #TTRPG players are living in a world where Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, DL Hugely and Cedric the Entertainer were CEOs and entrepreneurs instead of comedians, ones who each had a keynote speech as a series of tech conferences in the 90s before falling out and pursuing different industries.Now (at least) one of them is a billionaire supervillain that their team of teen superheroes is investigating.I've renamed each of them, but i thought it would take them longer than a second to get the "Robert Hightower" reference.This is gonna be a fun ass session.

       alright, so I need help from @ojou and @coffeentacos and anyone else who likes #anime When I say "the smart girl in the magical girl group" or "smart magical girl" who comes to mind? Who are your favorite examples? I think of Sailor Mercury (I think?) but who else fits that criteria. I'm not much of a mahou shoujo watcherEdit: per https://c.im/@NaClKnight/113250343131494051I'm designing a "Smart, cute, nice, superpowered scientist" character for a story and I like reviewing what other depictions of similar concepts exist.In my case, the character is in her 20s, not teens, but in story her costume/design is definitely supposed to evoke those same "smart, sweet, pretty, magical" notes.
