Tortoiseguy!

read this one in high school and remember loving it then. i get the distinct sense that if i read it again now i would not love it

oh you're an unusual person.

accusing rascal of "yellow journalism" over a free article btw

it wasn't one sentence, it was an entire page. an explanation of the entire thesis of the game.

i have no moral or ethical qualms with rebel scum's content. i can respect that drivethrurpg is being consistent in their ruling, i still think their ruling is stupid and have no issues with how level 9 handled this. if anything this post lessens my view of drivethru more than the rascal article did

as for "making bank on notoreity" a) afaik level 9 wasn't doing that at the time the article was written, and b) so?

the rascal news article literally says it was level 9's decision to pull the game

they also claim that rascal news "stopped just short of calling them fascists", which isn't true. if anything, the rascal article calls them centrists.

like they just re-state their reasoning for banning the game, which are the same reasons stated in the rascal article, and then post the questions rascal asked them, which all seem fair.

?? doesn't this just re-confirm everything in the article? i see no major contradictions between this post and the article

REALIS is a good recent example of a game like this. canon setting that is important and can't be ignored, but literally thousands of moons orbiting a huge weird star/gas giant, which players can make up themselves.

BUT i do also very frequently see the extreme of this, where too many games are like "idk, do whatever." i like a middle-ground, where there IS a setting, but said setting gives lots of room for player creation and making the world unique to a given group.

see, i like it when games do allow the players/GMs to be able to make the game's setting more "their own" because it allows for more player ownership, and IME a lot of players are uninterested in reading a ton of lore before character creation and playing.

The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

hard to get emotionally invested in the idea of cassian andor and bix having a son cuz i know they named that poor fuckin kid something stupid like Jervik or Plix.

the healing power of going "man, who gives a shitt" and moving on

i don't agree with the guy tbh but nothing about what he was saying read as baiting to me? idk it's dice games, i just genuinely do not see a reason to get actually mad about the way other people play them. what does that matter? what weight does any of this conversation hold, beyond entertainment?

hey man why are you so aggressive about this

there was a storyline with some gross underage stuff that was apparently written by one rogue dev and they had to immediately make a patch that took the whole thing out.

you say your cause is just but why’s your fireball dark purple bro. what’s up with that bro

Homestar Running and Strong Bad connected by a backpack, akin to Banjo-Kazooie. Strong Bad is walking with Homestar on his back, and Homestar is imitating Kazooie’s bebebese. Strong Bad says, “Not gettin’ a word, man.” Alternately, Homestar is running at full speed with Strong Bad flailing on his back. Strong Bad yells “hey beak-breath! all the golden whatsits are back in that-a-direction!”

i just want to put them in a banjo-kazooie situation

fornite

i've seen at least two dnd youtubers talk about how they do, in fact, play and enjoy non-dnd ttrpgs, but that videos about those just don't do as well as dnd videos. which is just kinda sadder really

not many people know this, but every microwave hosts a fraction of the divine presence and if your food is cold in the middle it's because your soul is too full of desire ☝️

this article is entirely about how the costuming in the movie looks bad. it does not criticize rachel zegler or call the movie woke. the article is free to read.

?? i get there's like an annoying culture war thing about this movie but it is a bad looking movie. it's the usual live action disney remake slop.
