I mean you've made it clear that torturing trans people is fine. That we're not a hill worth defending.

The democratic leadership fucking hates that they have a base of minorities and queers. They desperately want to be the party of white suburbanites and will slaughter their actual base in a failed bid to do so.

The democrats are a party for no one that promise nothing and deliver less.

It's been messaging to the center almost constantly for the last 40 years and it's constantly failed.

Then maybe y'all should actually start standing for your actual fucking voters than going for the pipe dream of winning over suburban republicans.

Sure throwing Palestinians into the woodchipper actively lost the last election, but surely killing all the trans people will win over the republicans. And when that doesn't work, who do think will be next?

To really do Vancian magic it slunds like you'd need to make an entire RPG around it.

I mean, technically, that is correct.

It helps that it's easy to explain and the designs are killer. Like they completely knocked it out of the park and then just didn't follow up on it for a decade.

Sorry, I meant that it's one of the big IPs that's left that would definitely sell sets.

And there's one franchise that's big enough to attact people, but comes at the cost of immediately causing a big chunck of MTG players to drop the game forever.

I admit, I've switched over to gundam because I get the fun of building them and they're still cheaper than transformers.

I genuinely worry that UB is going to spike profits in the sort term, but kill MTG in the long term

While it's an ensemble cast, Maria is the closest the series has to a lead.

WFM kits are great, and Calibarn is one of the best.

It would be so much better if Zag failed. Because it hits home that the stakes are different, that you can't change the past, and actually let Mel have agency in her own story.

Have you ever thought that the reason people think that the Republicans are better on crime is that the Democrats have spent the last 30 years saying the Republican plans on crime are better?

Genuinely would have been so much better if we had to make a plan B because Zag fucked up. Get a big "you can't change the past angle", emphasize the genre difference between the two game and actually let Mel have agency in the conclusion of her story.

It wants to have the kind of feel good ending that the fiest one did, but it's not the same kind of story.

For some reason I got it in my head that Gabe was a trans guy.

It's such a weird tone shift.
