Brazilian here. While at first I was a bit “huh?” at your mention of Brazil because we are not being censored at this level, I get the point and am not that surprised.

Jair Messias Bolsonaro and his family might be some of the most perverse and incompetent people I ever saw in a position of power. They do stuff like…

I think that was a Black Dragon, they breath streams of acid.  They’re one of the more common types of chromatic dragons that adventurers would encounter.

Yeah, the fact that the reaction to “Oops, the heroes accidentally helped the BBEG get the thingy needed to conquer the world and now have to try to find an undo button” being the purported plot is “...yeah, that sounds like a D&D campaign” from most fans really does tell me they know what they’re doing.

I think its just a lack of exposure to other games.  A lot of new players get their D&D books at a big box store or on Amazon and play with people they know and never set foot into a game store.  I find it kinda fun to take a new D&D player to one and show them the even greater world that is out there to explore.  Not…

I saw a tweet that said the new movie should stop in the middle and make everyone in the theater schedule a time to finish it.

And still set the trap off in the end

It was enjoying a rise in popularity before Stranger Things. I’ll concede that ST rocketed its recent visibility but the rise in nerd culture generally over the last few decades is more responsible than some Netflix show.

Also, having a Dragon in a movie that DOESN’T breath fire.

I’m just glad it didn’t stand up on long spindly legs

A true D&D movie should make all the protagonists as murder hobos who do nothing but barter at the local shop for 30 minutes to get the nice sword cheaper by 100 gold.

To your point, I’m pretty sure your average D&D campaign would make for an awful movie. The idea that LOTR is somehow a D&D substitute completely ignores how much D&D has diverged from it since its inception - like yeah, they both have elves, dwarves, etc. but D&D goes quickly off the rails from there by comparison.…

But how much can we forgive for the appearance of the Mimic?

I think they just stopped allowing it to be resold on their marketplace (which gives gamestop a cut of the transaction). Somebody still “owns” it, but if they want to sell it, they have to do it offsite. Not saying this to defend NFTs, they’re still dumb.

Amazing and standing in solidarity! Also, more Katie Porter in anything and hot dayum she knows about the merger and holding them to account. Do that!

In the current economic context, carefully and strategically managing our investments is critical now more than ever. We must therefore succeed in strongly limiting our spending to what is essential by questioning some of our habits and reflexes, and by reinventing ourselves together to make gains in terms of cost,…

In reality they would probably just grab the (freely available) Unreal Engine 4 source code and ignore the licensing requirements for its use.

Rather simple, unfortunately.

With a relatively high stock price, that’s also buttressed by the fact that many of the largest shareholders got in at an incredibly low price (we’re talking in the single-digit dollars), there are investment banks and hedge funds who are willing to bankroll the expenses of the company so…

That’s our bad; we all thought you were asking if Gamespot was publicly traded.

Wait, Gamestop is publically traded? Why the fuck didn’t anyone tell me?

Reminds me of a Seven Deadly Sins review I read once that said the show was “Cheeky and irreverent” and went on to add “After a while you get used to the way the main character treats his companion.”
