Guy says "you can totally run a murder mystery in D&D!" and then when asked how, they describe a freeform improv roleplay session where they occasionally randomly sat down to fight some monsters in empty square rooms (the only thing you actually do in D&D 5e) between events
Criticizing D&D for anything is the most frustrating thing in the world because talking to the system's ardent defenders is like talking to an insane person
"If you don't like it you can just houserule it to be different" Why would I not just? Play a different game?

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

she's not actually denouncing any of her harmful views though, she's just apologizing for siding with the rest of the crowd that supports those harmful views because they disrespect her, while making pretty clear she still holds them. she's apologizing that she can't have her cake and eat it too.

it's largely the fault of the MPAA/ESRB (and the puritanical freaks that motivate them). lots of youth books have significantly more mature themes that, if adapted to film/tv/games without toning the content down, would place them an age rating or two above the original target audience.

a large amount of liberals will treat the disposal of trump as a major victory and return to normal, especially with the media saying "at least the country's run by somebody who doesn't have dementia now!", and the descent into fascism will accelerate with less spectacle and further silence.

i think the people running the show believe they have reached a point where they have consolidated enough power that trump has outlived his usefulness and is only a hindrance to their further efforts. trump will be gone, the media will fall in line and say the vance admin should be given a chance.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors

- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals
This is a HUGE breach.

i think that's why they're banking on socially conservative/fascist governments gaining power throughout america and europe, hoping that they'll stick with oil and prop up their economy for a few more decades.

I have said many times, Sanderson is personally nice, but so what. Nice is cheap. He pumps money into a hate organization. That he can launder his own reputation effectively is the only think separating him from Rowling.

i DEEPLY hate the term. it's patronizing, it's a stupid euphemism, it plays into the transphobic notion that cis people are humoring us, it's epistemological oppression to avoid saying the word trans, 90% of the shit cis people do isn't called "gender affirming", etc
it's fucking trans healthcare.
