Interestingly, that’s a trepannation drill. Sawteeth on the outside cut the skull, the middle...well, it’s a corkscrew.

I, too, worked on this glorious publication, and y’all should give it money so we can continue to battle against the tyrants of Okar!

Fucking RTM scumbags. I used to kick dozens of them off the Madden boards 7 days a week. It’s bad enough they scam for essentially useless crap, but there’s plenty of them that act as launderers for actual crooks.

The only thing lower, really, is a damned gold farmer.

You do realize organic farmers have used Bt is concentrations hundreds of times more than you find in Roundup Ready corn for decades...yet we’ve yet to see the supposed effects that these anti-GMO twits claim happen, right?

You’re still a fucking ninnyhammer and a muppet.

Because he’s a fucking fish scientist, purely, for one. Second, the study is about salmon. Third, even Krogdahl even flatly-stated that the evidence was inconclusive...which you’d know if you did your due diligence, you fucking muppet.

That’s Buzz Aldrin, not John Glenn.

Speaking as someone working on a lot of the RPG material...we’re aware of the tropes of the time and how problematic they can be. But we’re also writing enormous sections in every book out there to accommodate the women who tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth beneath their sandaled feet...and there’s a mini-book…

“Written by Garth Ennis.”
Ah, there’s your problem.

Yep, that’s exactly it. RMTs - real-money transactors - are a fucking plague in gaming. They screw up the games for everyone, suck up a massive amount of resources to crush, and are usually hooked up with some form of crime. It’s not uncommon for RMTs to be laundering money for other operations.

Aw, poor baby. Getting paid, and paid well, to crush bugs like you was entirely worth it, little fake dev. Sure, you worked in half a dozen companies, know hundreds of devs. Sure you do. Because, y’know, if you did...you’d know exactly, precisely how banning works, given how small the industry truly is.

You cheated and…

Speaking as someone that was an EA admin, you’re entirely full of shit. You’re trying to pass off the consequences from a well-vetted, appeals-heavy process as some sort of arbitrary thing. You got caught, you got banned - quite possibly by me or one of my team - and you’re crying about it.

Suck it up, Buttercup. You…

“Try acting, dear boy; it’s easier.”

This’ just Leto being a creep.

Hah. My team at Dell were the ones that finally pinned down the cause behind the click of death on Zip drives.

Maybe they’ll actually use Jason Woodrue, but I wouldn’t count on it.

A Sunset Boulevard reference is not what I was expecting.

Yup. Not only are they recycling one of the dumbest, most pointless event series in Marvel’s recent history, but they’re recycling a tired-ass plot point that sci-fi literature answered decades ago.

Clearly, you’ve never actually worked in the industry. Nor are you someone that creates for a living. I’m both.

Art costs, sonny. Good art costs more. Burning your creatives and devs and engineers out produces shitty results.

So, I wonder what Ed Greenwod, who created the Realms, has to say on the topic:

“I am saddened by what I hear of the current kerfluffle raging about Siege of Dragonspear and the trans character Amber Scott designed and included in it.

Not ‘Hyboria’, the Hyborian Age. There’s no nation or continent called Hyboria.

No, Howard created another 16th century character that Thomas changed to Red Sonja, as mentioned upthread. Red Sonja as she appears in the comics is non-canonical and really only connected to the actual character by dint of being female and having red hair. Everything else is entirely different.
