Yeah, but as a DM I’m less apt to give every last NPC I make have a name and a complicated backstory. Sometimes a group of thugs isn’t meant to be bandied about with, let alone have time to explain their life story as their life story is about to end on the wrong end of a +2 Mace to the skull.  Sometimes the half-elf…

It also seems like someone over there has a fantastic sense of humor when it comes to D&D. There’s a card called +2 Mace. Yup. It gives you +2/+2. There are instants that are named things pretty much things we’ve all heard a DM say more than once like “A guard approaches you” or “You come to a river”. There’s plenty…

As much as I enjoyed the first season of this show, fuck another proprietary streaming service.

I agree with Mackie’s larger point that fans should stop trying to read queer subtext into every close male relationship in film. People have been doing the shipping thing for a long time now in fandom circles, and it’s really not great. When there’s this push to say “oh, Frodo and Sam are definitely gay,” it degrades…

As part of the cis, straight audience these games were obviously intended to titillate, it’s super interesting hearing things from a different perspective. It’s important for games like this to be inclusive not just to keep from alienating players, but also to allow for players to explore different aspects of…

Fandom is inherently toxic, but it takes a special kind of neckbeard to get bent out of shape over a trash-grade 80s cartoon that was made to flog toys. Like, how little self-awareness can you have?

Title Exandria Unlimited, the series is set 30 years after the events of the Vox Machina campaign, and 10 after the events of Mighty Nein. Starring an entirely new band of characters, Exandria Unlimited begins in the city of Emon, still recovering from the devastating Chroma Conclave attack decades prior, opening up…

How the hell could we possibly expect to do replicate that in a computer program?

I don’t agree that a rebuttal was warranted, because it comes off like a well, actually in response to a writer putting a transphobe in their place.

It’s part of a press kit for journalists to use when writing about the casting news. And yes, they need to know their preferred pronouns.

If you call someone Jonathan and they respond with “Johannes, actually” then the normal human thing to do is say “oh, right, Johannes” and move on with your life calling them Johannes. And it’s hardly unreasonable for that person to introduce themselves with “I’m Johannes, call me John.” That’s what’s happening here.…

However, for those of us that are non-binary, it is important validation and representation in a society that would rather pretend we don’t exist. You probably aren’t intending to come across that way, but your attitude is an example of why it’s so important that representation exists.

[...]none of us should assume anyones’ gender.

They were offended by the Amazon show Good Omens so much they called for a boycott of Netflix 🤣🤣🤣.

One makes you a hero, the other a villain. The main indication is effect on goatee growth rates.

This almost happened to one of our chihuahuas only a few feet from my wife. Believe it or not, a crow swooped in and hit the hawk just before the hawk grabbed the dog.

God, Disney, just make the fucking Muppet Show. Just the Muppet Show. New episodes. Same format. It would kill. Is that so difficult?

Gunn also said in his Instagram stories this week that he’s down with Guardians after Vol 3 because his story will be concluded. There’s plenty of room for Marvel to continue on with a different director and a partially or different team.

Today I learned - Conan was a little bit deep and also a little bit racist.
