>Everyone's grandpa has cool war stories

>>53700633
How do you explain wars in a comfy setting?

>>53700656
They're tickle wars, obviously.

>>53700656

It wouldn't be possible for everyone's grandpa to have cool war stories if everyone didn't make it out okay.

>>53700656
Massive pillow fights in fall/spring, water balloons and squirt guns in summer and snowball fights in winter.

>>53700656
Food fights and water guns.

>>53700656
The war to ban ASMR. It was just a bunch of guys screeching loudly on the streets.

>How do you explain wars in a comfy setting?
The bad times were in the setting's past. It's comfy during the events of the story.

And a setting can be smaller than an entire world. Comfy adventures can be happening in one place while nasty things happen elsewhere.

>>53697444
>air is toxic for racists and they either change their ways or die a slow and painful death.

>>53701200
ah ha but consider the following:
With only white people there is no hate or malice, so this effect means next to nothing.

Check mate darkie.

>>53697355

m8 do you even comfy

>bunch of rowdy but benign orcs throat singing around a campfire with random adventurers

bump

>>53697314
What animal is that? It's so adorable!

The setting is full of towns and wooden houses in the middle of prairies or forests, and even the biggest cities don't have buildings over 5 stories. Cities have open wide streets, there's little traffic, and the air is clean and unpolluted. People are also generally friendly unless provoked.

>>53697314
I suppose it's comfy if you don't think to hard about the giant Cthuhlu-esque deer monster that's slowly eating the known universe, sure.

>>53709627
Baby seal.

>>53709627
It's a Ferret

>she is at the epicenter of it
>everyone is worried now, asked her whats wrong
>She has seen beyond the veil of reality they know, directly into the eyes of Outer Gods that forged this world by accident, by a yearning to escape the hell they live in on the black seas of infinity, on an eternal ride through existence and non-existance and through worlds inconceivable.

Do you genuinely not know what a waterdog is?

Go on...

>>53697478
Does he make spiced potatoes?

>>53697721
The deities are all incarnate, and travel between communities spreading their gifts (like in Mechanical Oryx).

>>53697314
The first part of this game is super relaxing.
The rest, not so much...
But its colorful, pretty, and fits the sky-ascetic.

>>53713584
>When you finish shopping, pterodactyls on flying carpets help carry your purchases back home

>friendly giants roam around the countryside once in a while, helping peasants do heavy work, buildidng houses, mining, transporting material,etc, for a few barrels of ale and mead.

>>53716185
the pterodactyls get to not fly all the time and be comfy too, I love it.

>>53697314
>Everyone is there for you if you need to talk

>>53717657
>having a barbecue/bonfire with friendly giants after a hard day's work
It's not a fetish, but it's damn close.

>>53700656
Just because it's comfy doesn't make it a utopia. It just needs to be relaxing and stress-free
The most comfy way I see to make a war is to make it against evil monsters or something that can be easily demonized.
>No moral ambiguity
>The good guys always win
>The monsters are constantly spawning, and impossible to fully get rid of, but largely under control.
>At this point the war is more like pest control. Many join the army for adventure and sport.
>Frontier towns are well guarded, so tragedies are few and far between.
>The gods support the good guys, and will intervene often, but cannot remove the monsters permanently.
>Every few decades or so, a Monster King will arise and threaten the stability of the world, but every time, a band of heroes will rise to occasion and banish him back to the darkness.

Just think of it sorta like a light-hearted JRPG. Those are pretty comfy.

>>53703520
I'm picturing them like those hippies from the Tunnel of Love episode of ATLA.

>>53700030
>Elves
Why wouuld you introduce rape into a comfy setting?

>>53703037
I got a job spraying mosquitoes for the summer, it's good to know my work is appreciated.
But I'm new and I fuck up a lot, or it feels like a lot, I'm not used to driving the truck and I nudged someones mailbox while backing up, the mailbox is fine and no one was home but the guy I was with had to tell his boss,
who told my boss, who I didn't tell, rough start,
now they don't trust me with the truck too much.
Sorry for blog posting, but it weighs on you.
I'll post comfy now.
>There are many jobs to do and everyone is looking for employees, even if someone is fired or a business goes under it's no big deal because someone is always hiring.

>>53700656
all "wars" and combat are on the scope of the Michigan-Ohio border war, basically giant bar fights, the worst that happens is a couple people need stitches
the coolest guy would be the one that got a scar across his eye from a broken beer bottle-- a bottle that he tripped and fell on, of course
but no one can believe that story, so they just say it was an epic duel and the tale gets grander every time someone tells it
currently he's cited as having fought a demigod over the right of the entire land to wear shoes (it's a long story)

>>53697314
magical muckery means that ice, water, and steam behave normally, but snow melts at around 45 degrees Fahrenheit, so people all across the world can enjoy it for at least some part of the year, and being out in the snow doesn't necessarily mean getting terribly cold
also rain storms don't have as much wind, their wind isn't as strong, lightning is much more rare than here, and the usual temperature of the air around one is higher, so rain storms are very safe and much more welcome than here, and consequently are more frequent

>>53697314
What kind of animal is that? It's so adorable!

>>53703789

>he never read the saucerplanet books by Perry Tratchett

>>53701268
>With only white people there is no hate or malice
Hold up I need to post more mocking reactions

>>53701268

>>53701268
Seriously, white people might just be the most hateful scumfucks on this planet. As a pasty white boy myself, I can confirm.

>>53701268
Just put yourself in the bin
Because you are garbage.

>>53701200
Anyway that's it for me.
Enjoy this small pile of (you)s, you sad numpty.

>>53700351
I'm a musician. I like my sound to available at all ranges thank you.

>>53700910
>>A cheap contraceptive is common everywhere
>>Population is stable with a moderate cycle of shrink and growth.
both of these used to be things.
then we made the plant extinct from overuse, and the industrial revolution happened, which made survivability much easier.

>>53701268
Just because a human is white and a lizardfolk is white doesn't mean they aren't different races, you silly goose.

>>53701268
>With only white people there is no hate or malice
tell that to europe and its centuries long history of feuding
as if you can tell a french from a german without taking into account cultural differences.

>>53710568
>ROOM WITH A MOOSE

>>53714559
immediately goes from comfy to... I dont even know. Largely unexplored territory for certain.

>>53722747
lizards are green

>>53723103
clearly not
>>53697444

>>53701268

As long as there are people, they will find a reason to hate each other.
