  • Which honestly would have been fine (relatively) given the situation had he fucking addressed it after the fact

    “Yes, Jewish slaves built my rockets before being killed. Had I not helped, I’d have been one of them” is all he needed to say, it’s a very easy to understand position

    “I’m apolitical” is what he said instead

    Verner was a fucking Nazi, only a guilty man would say that shit


  • Long discussion about the game: fine, acceptable, fun!

    Long discussion about the meaning of a French word from hundreds of years ago after your bard said the wrong thing in a talking puzzle: might be fun, but is unrelated to the actual game and should be cut short before it drags on

    The DMs job is to control the narrative, if you’re talking about the game at all then it’s part of the narrative and you should really only push them if they start going in circles or something at that point



  • The Boss, MGS

    Not Big Boss, the man with the eye patch and is a bad guy, the woman who taught him and the mother of Ocelot

    She was such a badass woman that she inspired basically everyone around her to try to mold the world in the way they thought she saw it. Shes a great example of a woman/mother who’s a badass directly because of the skills normally associated with those roles. Yeah, she can fight and kick your main characters ass, but that’s mostly because she’s spent time nurturing him and caring for him to the point where he emotionally cannot fight her. She regularly disarms strong, imposing men (some with superpowers like lightning channeling) by just looking at them sternly and implying she’s about to call them by all 3 of their names in a disapproving tone

    Time and again she does badass things while she’s alive, and her death is technically the catalyst for the rest of the series as those who loved and admired her try to shape the world as she saw it, which isn’t even something she herself did because of her loyalty to her country.

    Oh and she’s voiced by the same woman who does Pearl from SpongeBob, which is wild


  • Sounds like the DM needs to put their damn foot down

    I’m awkward and quite bad at that normally but if my players have gone off topic for more than a minute I’ll soft remind them to get back on track, another minute or so and I’ll bring it up again, and if we’ve wasted 5 minutes I activate my autist mode and just straight up mention were way off topic once a spot opens, and refocus the game

    That’s part of the damn job, I can run a table with up to 10 people without too much of an issue as long as everyone actually comes with their GODDAMN CHARACTERS FINISHED, DAVE




  • Linux users are hard for using a terminal when they could just open a document in a text editor.

    This remains my #1 gripe with an annoyingly large bit of the Linux community, though there slowly becoming a smaller and smaller group

    CLI is great for some things, but holy shit it’s terrible for all of the uses you people try to shove down it’s fucking throat. A text editor works better when you can scroll through and click around if it’s any bigger than a few lines, my audio mixer is a lot easier to use with click and drag sliders than it was as ASCII text in a terminal, and in what fucking world is “MV file/path/could/be/long/as/shit another/long/as/shit/path” faster than click-drag between the 2 windows I opened to copy the path names in the first place?









  • Look, you can’t even make a simple logical conjecture

    I pointed out that your original point about trump supporters getting banned is because they break rules. I then pointed out that you were wrong for claiming 40% of Americans support him. Logic has had 0 to do with this discussion, but I like how you toss it in there to make yourself feel smart

    And yet you claim to have a graduate degree in a math-related subject?

    No, I claim to have above-college-level training in statistics, making fun of your “high school” comment. Your reading comprehension is fucking trash
