I absolutely 100% hate the fact you are completely correct on that one....

I've been hanging out at Madness Games in Plano while I'm in DFW but this is a *lot* closer to the apartment. I will give it a visit this weekend. Thanks for sharing that.

To (more or less) quote what I've told my daughter for over two decades...
"It's always okay to have whatever feelings you have. The question is what you do with them and how you act with other about them."

When I'm the player who can't grok...that's the *only* time I actually enjoy actual play. Seeing the mechanics, etc. in play is what I want. I get some like the entertainment value of watching play but, once I learn it, I'd rather play it with my friends.

I "curate" those kinds of assholes out of my hobbyist community post-haste. There are games I don't care to play but if *you* like it I'm happy for you.
This exists across so many fandoms...don't get me on Star Trek Gatekeepers... :)

Best thing I did 20+ years ago was realise that Thanksgiving with my Chosen Family was much better than Biological Family and we've only done that since.

I get your point but “only” is carrying a lot of weight there. It’s definitely a factor but I do not think it’s the only factor.

So doomed and also so earnest. Gotta respect that.

I guess I need to turn in my DMs Guide and resign myself to watching Actual Play from here on out inasmuch as my best PC is only a 5th level AD&D Assassin named "Squelch" who, candidly, couldn't stab an Ogre with his stiletto without rolling a Nat1 and critting on himself.

That said the epidemic of soldier self-harm is truly frightening and I get why SecArmy is trying to "do something"....this is, likely, not the best way to accomplish that goal.

Sir! I know several 12 year olds and I can state, without any fear of correction, they have much more political acumen than that piece of trash.

This, Sir, is why I value your input. I will be watching this over the weekend and your review will help me inordinately. Thank you.

There's a not insignificant part of me that wants to fight you on this but....actually.....you're right.

I had never thought about it being three different panics until I watched the video but I think you're spot on. As an Elder GenXer I was old enough that the latter parts of the Satanic Panic didn't really impact me but to say it never happened is willful self-deception.

Don't necessarily disagree but if you factor in the dollars, adverse media, and other obstacles Establishment Types tried to put in the way and then combine the other amazing Dem gains (like here in GA) I think it's the beginning of a landslide.

May I remind you, sir, of the people of Fine People to be found in Badger's Drift? I am quite sure the Badger's Drift area has the equivalent of Fish People.

There's an intersection here in Fort Worth (Texas Street & Cherry Street) where you can see gouges in the asphalt where people have smashed into the raised part of Texas Street. In a small SUV I bottomed out hard at 10mph. Totally wild experience.
