Playing as a devil’s advocate here...why should the line be drawn there amongst the countless fantasy murder simulators, crime murder simulators, historical war murder simulators, fighting game murder simulators, and battle royale murder simulators, etc that are available?

I personally skip through those ads when I’m watching you on youtube.

I really wish that skyscrapers would adhere to a “highest floor” mentality as a judgement call instead of pure tallest ornamental feature. A large amount of the recent super tall buildings are effectively 2/3 usable space and 1/3 empty decoration and really tall spires just to hit certain height targets.

One of the things that Blades in the Dark teaches ( and well, PbtA games ) is that it isn’t really the GM’s job to plan out all the possible permutations of player actions...it’s your job to play the world as honestly as possible. So it sounds like your players are now playing a game where they are on the run from the…

The indie RPG scene has come up with a lot of “technology” that speeds up character creation...for example, creating a Dungeon World character probably doesn’t need to take more than 15 minutes; it’s just a quick series of checklists and questions...but you still wind up building out a rough backstory between the…

Niners owner Jed York said he abstained, and Wickersham reports that Raiders owner Mark Davis did too.

I’m guessing heads would explode if instead of doing wacky touchdown dances, NFL players start taking a knee after touchdowns.

I owned a first generation RAV4, partly because it was a car you could buy for under $18,000 without being too stripped down. Then I had kids, and had to sell it because the back seat strangely only had car seat connections for a single car seat in the middle.

Frankly, I fail to see why this was a disaster. This is exactly what you asked the GM to do!

It makes some sense to reimagine a classic movie like King Kong, for example, that everybody knows, but outside of folks who owned VCRs in the 1990s, did that many people remember Flatliners—let alone have a burning desire to see it again with a new cast?

Welcome to the world of job-killing regulations.

I’m just going off the quote given.

That quote is impressive. All I can think of is that it must be good to be the 800 pound gorilla and take what a bunch of small indie games have been doing for years and claim it as your own.

Most of those I’d consider to be anthology movies, or at least semi-anthological. And yes, I admit that there are many films that do multiple characters doing multiple things at the same time twisting back and forth into each other’s stories, screwball comedies have a tendency to do this as well, going back to…

I’ve always thought that the entire sequence would’ve played out better if the Jedis had to sneak around in Jabba’s palace trying to steal another ship part or something during the pod race....just to give the Jedis something interesting to do.

The pod race annoys me all to hell because it’s clearly an homage to Ben Hur...

The Mickey Rooney stuff really is just doubly awful because his little cameos are such a complete tonal shift from the rest of the movie. You could easily edit his parts out and nothing would change from the rest of the story.

If Ant Man/Wasp ends with half of it’s characters getting wiped out....that would be kind of a distressing forshadowing of IW. By putting AntMan and Wasp after IW, but having it end with some characters getting wiped, not only do the viewers realize what had happened even if the onscreen characters don’t get it yet,…

Blades removes a lot of the details for certain things and abstracts it out...for example, it’s always assumed that you have at least pocket change for a fried eel ( apple most likely don’t exist in the Blades world, given that the remaining trees are poisioned is some fashion ), or to give to a street urchin to make…

I bet there’s someone who writes for Gizmodo that has the full collection of every iPhone made laying around in a desk somewhere.
