Candyman. I don’t know what it was about that freaking movie, because it wasn’t that scary when I was watching it, but something about it just stuck with me. The bathroom light stayed on every night for the rest of the week.

All right, I’m interested. Can you expand a little more on how gameplay works? Are turns always player group vs mastermind with the group deciding what cards to play, or does each player act on their own? Do you have a given number of turns to resolve the case before you rewind time, or can you do it early if you…

Fair enough. If you’re curious, I was drawing my assumption that Sidious is more powerful than Yoda from the Episode III novelization, where it details Yoda suddenly realizing, in the middle of the fight, that he simply can’t win, and he has to escape and come up with a new strategy. Similarly, shortly before Sidious…

It can’t share your physical activity if you don’t have any. *taps head*

To answer your second question, as I do not believe any other explanation has been offered, I’ll just give an old one, from the old Star Wars Roleplaying Game. I don’t have the books handy, so I can’t look it up to be exact, but from what I hazily recall, using the Dark Side isn’t inherently physically corrupting but p…

Ha! Well, joke’s on me for assuming English was your first language. At any rate, thanks, that’s good to know.

Off topic, but do you mind if I ask what your second language is? I’m considering an attempt to learn Spanish while already fluent in English and German, and I’m curious as to how much overlap there might be.

To be fair, if you regularly organize and file away every digital book you get, it only takes that last step.

So much this. Over the past several years I’ve started replacing physical with digital copies, and now my personal library has grown to cover over 6,000 books, and that’s not even counting comics. You can talk about the joys of hard copy all you want, but when I want to move years of comics, novels, and tabletop…

Can you explain why? I haven’t seen it yet myself, but everything I’ve heard has been good, and now you’ve got me curious as to why the setting is so important.

Or, if you’ve got a little more free time on your hands....

It’s a bit complicated. He did free his slaves, he did teach freed slaves, and he worked pro bono for slaves attempting to gain freedom in court. He was also highly critical of slavery as an institution in public. But, it’s important to note that he was also anti-abolitionist, and rejected the idea of freeing slaves…

Don’t listen to Ondore’s lies!

Exactly this. If one of you is driving hundreds of miles (generally me), it’s nice to be able to just look and see where they are, rather than calling or texting asking where they are, how soon they’ll probably arrive, etc. The same thing for someone going out and running errands. Have they gotten to the grocery store…

Let’s fix this article, shall we? “Expensive pet foods aren’t automatically any healthier than cheap ones.” But, it is generally safe to assume they are healthier. Your dogs can survive on cheap food, this is true. But this is like saying that you can survive on a diet consisting solely of McDonald’s. You could, but…

I’d kind of assumed it was just general knowledge that doctors have unusually high suicide rates. At any rate, doctors do commit suicide more than the average person, with male doctors doing so almost twice as much as the average man. For female doctors the numbers are even worse, being more than three times as likely…

I know, right? I appreciate Warhammer 40k in particular, if only because I start explaining a given character’s history to someone, and when they ask “Why haven’t these guys conquered everything if they have him on their side” I can reply “Every important character in the universe is like this, and half of the…

If you’re curious, there are also things like Luke anchoring himself so strongly a black hole couldn’t move him, Force pushing over a dozen Star Destroyers out of a system (though the guy doing it died and was borrowing power), the shatterpoint technique (basically it allows you to find the weak point of any given…

I don’t think that powerful characters existing is really a problem in and of itself, though. Comic books have literal gods walking around and occasionally getting into brawls with totally normal humans, and it works. Even if the presence of some superpowered being does mean your normal character can’t play as hard in…

“Like, more demonstrably powerful than any other Star Wars character we’ve ever seen.”
