Even if these workers got better jobs, someone would still need to do the jobs they left behind, so it’s not like the problems just go away.

Killmonger’s visit to his ancestral plane is a genius way of making manifest the damage done to him.

You have to be born with that range, and then you need the training to use it.

I’m the DM for the in-person game, so it’s harder for me to judge. Everyone has a laptop or a tablet; there were some technical issues getting things to display properly. There was a whole session where I and some player’s couldn’t see a particular player’s token. But we’ve gotten past that now. Chrome seems to work…

You can bring up your character sheet in a separate browser window, so the primary window has the map and the sidebar. The sidebar has tabs for chat and handouts, primarily. You can choose to use their initiative tracking tool, which is a resizable box in the map area; it can be dismissed out of combat.

I have one in-person game and one remote game, both on Roll20. You can create your own maps, either by uploading artwork or drawing free hand. Nothing in the platform enforces any kind of story elements; it’s just the mechanics.

Marni Nixon was credited on the soundtrack album for Mary Poppins, which I played repeatedly as a child. I hope she got royalties.

I live in a small city, where I take voice lessons from a classical teacher. We have a handful of people who perform group pieces, in addition to arias. You don’t have to be professional quality to have a satisfying experience. Even if you don’t get back to where you were, you’ll still get to sing.

Pretty sure that wasn’t Alzheimer’s, just regular old age/senility. (And yes, I know what Alzheimer’s looks like.)

If you have not yet been introduced to Phryne Fisher, I am about to be your favoritest commenter ever.

If it is one of the main cast members, they’ll have a reset.

Wait, “in a while”? What about Chi Chi last week?

Normally I would be all excited and happy, but “Jack Reacher 2" has put such a pall over my entire existence...

“they thought the taser was a gun, despite the bright yellow strip along the taser’s side that differentiates it”— the eyes are not a camera. Your brain constructs what you “see.” People who expect to see a gun, their brains will probably show them a gun. So preconceptions can be literally dangerous.

I was thinking if they weren’t boys, he’d make her do it all over again until she got it right.

College-age MacGyver doesn’t particularly appeal, but I’d love see him in third grade.

I have Season 1 on DVD. That’s all I need - because as far as I’m concerned, that’s all there is. Just 13 episodes of gonzo glory.

“your pants will be filled with shit by the time we get done with this season” — Well, that’s something to look forward to...

Why does this need explanation?
