I guess I don’t understand the desire for a “perfect simulation” and then complain when a player accidentally trips someone on their own teams. It feels like that actually IS a good simulation of the wacky random stuff that actually happens in a live football game; there’s always weird little trippings, blocking…

I picked up Tabletop Simulator to play the Arkham Horror Card Game solo and potentially to play online....it’s amazing what people have done in TTS just to make AH remotely presentable, given how complicated AH is.

I’ve never read Guillermo as being gay, really. I’ve always read him as this shy and insecure and mostly asexual who found vampirism as an instant fix to cure him of his insecurities ( which makes the Van Helsing reveal all the more fun). His man-crush on Nandor was more about being in awe of this “great warrior who…

Maybe popular ones, but there were others: Roc, for example was a black cast led by a garbage man. 227, I think the Bernice Mac show.

Why is “not enough diversity” always seem to be boiled down to “not enough blacks?” instead of all colors. What about Hispanics, east Asians, native Americans, Palestinians?

I feel like that’s kind of standard sitcom storytelling more than anything with malice.

This sounds less like “playing Netflix games” and more like “clicking on an ad within netflix” to buy a free game.

We never DID see Indiana Jones actually put the idol head thingy into a museum at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. And now that destroys the hole movie for me.

Yeah, I had no idea that there was a connected “Predator Universe” aside from just a standard “sci fi space alien horror flick”.

I think someone needs to read up on the old studio system of Hollywood. The idea of even getting “royalties and credit” beyond getting a paycheck for a days worth of work would get you laughed out of the room.

Baseball works really well from a story standpoint since it’s a sport of a series of one-against-one conflicts. You don’t have to visually explain all of the team-based moving parts of say, a football play.

Second, it was never going to look like an actual play. That’s a weird, gatekeeping idea — “let’s use a new form that the normies won’t recognize to make them have to commit if they want to see D&D stuff.” Gross and dumb.

Be it queer-only actual play podcasts that chart out across epic adventures for hours at a time every week, or powerful new RPGs like Thirsty Sword Lesbians, the modern TTRPG renaissance is profoundly queer and, from the looks of things, this film is not brave enough to take the same chance.

Amazon seems strangely conflicted about whether or not they give a shit about Prime Video. They have some true gems in there, a lot of garbage, and a lot of stuff that would have been in the 99 cent bin at Blockbuster once upon a time.

Lou Ferrigno frowns on bad CGI.

I get the complaint of “rice paddy hats”. But the concept that stories, no matter what story you are telling, has a responsibility to “grapple with the history of it’s location” is kind of silly.

Because white people would never put up with a system of government that involves weekly fights to the death to determine leadership positions.

That was my impression too, with the exact same game.

But if it’s coming from her bracelet, why would she be a mutant? Which mutant needs an object to activate its powers?

I want to say that the Pontiac Aztec made it’s debut in the Dark Angel tv show.
