Someone should tell Trump that being a Tsar is cooler than a president and that he should rename the office. It would make any US revolution so much funnier.

If you define it broadly enough, all crime is politics, so that’s a valid reason.

This headline says earth-like life. I just didn’t repeat the word.

I didn’t believe this shit in 7th grade when my political science teacher spouted it, good luck making me believe it now!

It’s so funny to be a business professor. Too inept to hack it in the actual business business eh? This is the very definition of the most useless people. Taking 4 years to learn that, if price of good go up, number of sales go down. Drivel.

Wait, did he? Imma be real with you I have not followed US politics much at all recently.

Well duh. It’s a hell of acid storms and sulfur, how would it have had life?

Why should we make excuses for the terror when it so clearly works?

The media is so funny. There is no way to spin this in a way where people like the CEOs. The more you talk about it the more people are gonna hate them for being evil, entitled assholes that are literally responsible for most of the shit people have to wade through in their daily lives.

So yea, please 100 more of these dumass articles, thanks! Keep’em coming, put them in every paper.

Hey, I was gonna say that!

The guy went in an alley and they found those things in the alley, right?

Essentially they are saying they found litter in a New York alleyway.

Well, pack it in folks. They cracked it. Forcing your employees to pledge their loyalty is the puzzle piece they were missing! With this new and bold strategy, socialism is just over.

It’s not like people would lie. They don’t even do that on the internet.

These are some real They Live hours over here, just look at those fake-ass smiles.

He looks like he will declare himself interim president of some country tomorrow. WTF

I don’t put much stock into generic gaming aids.

The worst single product for it is the 5E DM guide, because it has next to no useful information in it.

I think for digital gamin,g it has to be foundry. If there is a module for your game of choice, then it’s just better then Roll20. The Fabula Ultima module is pretty great.

Roll 20 is a honorable mention because the bar of entry to it is so damn low. It is a pile of jank though.

My graphics tablet is also a great too, I sometimes just sketch things for my group in real time. The same thing can be done with a whiteboard in your gaming room for physical games.

Him and the lady who defended leaving flammable cladding on high rises are the absolute definition of the irredeemable part of the media. They should be forced to fight one another to the death and the winner gets a year to write about how they were wrong about everything, before they get shoved into a woodchipper feet-first.

If you google this, you only get interviews where the Larian CEO explicitly states that Wizards is not to blame for the split. but a CEOs job is to lie on behalf of the company and it is prudent for Larian to do so, as to not rub future business partners the wrong way. We aren’t gonna officially know what happened for years unless one company or the other dies.

What did happen, is that Wizards fired all the people Larian worked with on their end right after BG3 came out, when it would have been the exact perfect time to lean in on more content for the game. This came in the wake of all the stupid things Wizard has done and announced in recent years, from the attempted OGL license changes to the money grubbing with digital content and more. I find it very likely that Larian cut ties because of these things, not wanting to be associated with them, and that Wizards then fired all the people Larian worked with because they failed to keep them on board.

Larian also had to go to unofficial sources to get the information they needed to make the game. That is why they thank the forgotten realms wiki in the credits, because they needed it to make the game. Wizards hasn’t cared about giving out coherent setting information ever and I can’t imagine them be fun to work with in that regard.

Then there is the whole VTT using AI business that Wizard is pushing hard, as well as Wizards heavily referencing Baldurs Gate 3 in the marketing of their own products and it does not seem like a very healthy relationship. I am specifically talking about the promo videos on the WotC Youtube channel, where you can’t watch a single video without someone mentioning BG3 and trying their best to look like they are somehow responsible for the game instead of Larian.

Are you sure you want to compare this to Goblin Slayer of all things? I don’t think that’s a very good comparison, because only in one of these properties are women turned into baby factories byremoved.

Do the aliens threaten this in Dandadan? Yes. Is it depicted? No. Is it made clear that this happens allover the place to many people, like it must in Goblin slayer? Also no. I don’t see how it’s anywhere near the same level.

As for why they depict it: it makes the threat more effective. Obviously this is also true for Goblin slayer but let me finish: Why does the Alien stop to regard Ripley and sniff her and make that second mouth come out to hiss at her? It makes no sense for it to do so. But it’s a horror movie and you gotta do horror right. Doing a story about aliens abducting people without pointing at the pile of interviews and accounts of people saying they do sexual things to you would devalue this and make the whole thing not work. And, of course, they are the bad guys. If the bad guys aren’t allowed to do bad things in your story at all, then what threat is there to them? The difference of course is that in Dandadan, they woulda done it had they not been stopped and the threat of them is taken very seriously, while Goblin slayer will repeatedly and gleefully show thisremoved, but at the same time act like the whole world does not give a fuck and only this one guy is there opposing this clear and present threat.

That’s the difference between them really, how goblin slayer is like ‘well sucks you gotremovedd hundreds of times over the curse of months, let’s show you being rescued and then never speak of it again’, while in Dandadan, the aliens get fought tooth and nail and, thanks to that, don’t get what they want. But while Goblin Slayer will zoom in gleefully on the actualremoved, Dandadan shows our characters struggle successfully against the attempt.

It’s also very equal opportunity in it’s depictions of ‘the gaze’. Good-looking guys get stripped a fair bit in Dandadan and the whole things plot revolves around getting someone’s sex bits back because a ghost whose first words are about sucking dicks stole them. Meanwhile in Goblin slayer our protag isn’t even taking his helmet off, while every female runs around in the skimpiest of clothing.

As for how the show comments on it all: For one, it never shows it’s ladies as helpless in the face of these aliens. Yea they have to fight them, but they do win by doing that. But far more importantly, it shows the characters actually developing healthy relationships. By showing what love and affection should look like. The show does an amazing job of this and of making every character actually a character that is about more then ‘oh no a ghost/alien let’s fight it’. Over the course of the story, these characters actually feel like people, like we know them and like there is a lot to them. The manga/show depicts good relationships and makes them seem desirable.

I don’t like Pathfinder either, because it is too rules-heavy, but I agree that it is better.

The real question is how many nuclear reactors a turkey could cook.

If she has a male friend, that’s competition! He is cucking you bro! BRO! HE’S CUCKING YOU! Gotta assert yourself bro!
