This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

[up] Work is Gacha World — I'm not familiar with the game; who's Dice, and is that phrasing in the game itself?

-

So I wanted to add a simple caption to Inhuman Eye Concealers, but I'm wondering if it's too superfluous:

They're prescription.

It's a reference to a line in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Crossover Nexus", which Garnet appears in.

So the Dice thing — that was a two-part edit, the first part being replacing the entire caption except the word "Dice", and the second part being going back and deleting "Dice" which was presumably related to the original quote and not the new one.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

Oh wow I didn't even notice that. Caption can probably be reverted on principle since it was changed without discussion

Honestly, I'd be fine with just ditching that caption.

The caption for The Virus has a note that just narrates the punchline we didn't show. Can I chop it?

So Parenthetical Swearing has an "X demonstrates" caption, which from what I read here, is probably not allowed, so how about this as a potiental replacement?

"Mamma-mia! Now I can't go for that type of pizza, because it has the P-word in the name!"

Alrighty, added the new caption for Parenthetical Swearing and I'll tag the old one here just in case:

Is the caption on Heartbroken Badass too complainy? Looks like it was added unilaterally in 2017.

It does seem complainy, especially with the Narm pothole... but more than anything I want some freaking context.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Could the "Ironically" be removed from the caption on Punny Name? I'd wager whoever added it doesn't understand irony.

We from the P5 flag evaluation thread want the captions for My New Dungeon Life pulled.

[up] The caption from the P&F page is a leftover from the last one, and should be pulled.

I can barely read Magic 8-Ball, so the pic in general gets a [tdown] from me.

I think we should cut the caption on Saddam Hussein. We probably shouldn’t be praising something about him.
