dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

People say Lovecraft was a bad writer, and they aren't totally wrong, but his century of imitators have demonstrated how much worse he could have been.

That's my main beef with BG3 (though it didn't start with BG3 at all): Illithids are boring to me. I've been sick of them since the 90s and they rarely ever do anything new/interesting as much as show up and pretty much hijack any story they're in until they eventually go away again and I don't get anything fun out of their presence. They're knockoff Lovecraft in a way that's just unpleasant and tedious to me.
