My late grandparents survived the Holocaust, so the fact that stories like this are still happening today is surreal if not entirely surprising. But I must admit I find the handwringing over whether or not it’s OK to punch Nazis to be kinda sickening. Dude believes that all non-whites should be removed from America in…

I have a co-worker who, after Trump won, printed this out and hung it on the wall. He’s one of a very small number of Trump supporters around here. He became upset when he realized *someone* drew a Hitler mustache on Trump. He’s still trying to figure out who would do such a thing and has accused almost everyone in…

And yet they claim it’s *their* genetics that are superior! Smh. This hate could all solved with a couple fucking science classes.

I stand humbly corrected.

Nintendo isn’t the small competitor in the market. In some years people were repping how much Sony was killing them, Sony had to sell their assets (like the building their headquarters were in) to stay afloat while Nintendo was just fine.

Yes, but I usually only do Christmas day addresses and on my birthdays.

I’m not sure how to go about this one. I think if you start advertising on local RP sites specifically for female players that they’ll assume you want to creep on them.

*Adjusts her wizard hat and pops on a monocle... because monocle.* While I am enjoying watching the pair of you discuss TT female gamers and the obstacles that we face in a male dominated atmosphere, I think the important thing to remember is that we face predatory behavior in any male dominated atmosphere.

Speaking…

Are you talking about making a game that’s specifically about the sort of tribulations women tend to go through in geek culture? I think that’s an interesting thought exercise, though I’m not sure how well it would translate into an actual compelling game.

As for games that undermine power fantasies, I think…

I can’t speak from a female perspective (though I hope to see women in this thread who do), but I can speak from personal experience, both in terms of women I’ve played with and the sort of climate that pervades the tabletop gaming scene.

In my experience, wish fulfillment usually isn’t about playing the man/woman…

I actually answered a bit of this to another commenter that was looking for advice about writing female characters, but I do consciously avoid going full out with power in my characters. I usually incorporate some severe limitations / flaws into my characters for balance purposes.

Hugs if you want them. My bro finally got his paranoid schizophrenia DX (only 30 years after I said, after taking Psych 100, “hey, his ideation is a bit off?”) and I completely agree. Now that he’s retired, on disability, and medicated, he knows when his brain weasels are leading him astray. These fuckers are…

Wikileaks has stated that their info on Hillary did NOT come from Russia. Enough with the wishful thinking already. Hillary is corrupt AF. Accept that. Of course The military would say this. It is in the establishment’s best interest to discredit Wikileaks as much as possible. If they manage it, they can continue…

One of the reasons Congress holds so little power today is that the during GWB and then Obama’s terms, Congress allowed both Presidents to expand executive power by signing statements and regulations, thereby getting what they wanted when without going through Congress. Somehow in the last few years a lot of Americans…

Surprisingly, not everything he proposes is necessarily bad, but the actual implementation of course remains to be seen.

“Orange is the new black”

America is a global embarrassment. Those of us who aren’t racists are ashamed at this country.

All I’m sayin’ yo.

She had 4 kids, one of which has my sarcasm and smarts. I get great enjoyment knowing that there’s a small person irritating her all the time.
