Is that a thing? I really hope that’s not a thing, but it probably is...

I’ll have to check this out a bit later. I’m getting ready to DM for my first time too, so this is right up my alley. I’ve been listening to a lot of Critical Role lately, and have kind of had D&D on my mind just in general. I’m looking forward to just making it happen, and hopefully everyone will have fun. 

Hey Kirk, great article. How do you feel about the idea that Snoke’s Praetorian Guard are infact The Knights of Ren? In TLJ, Luke outright says that Kylo killed the other students, but took some with him. Wouldn’t it make sense that Snoke would in turn take them from Kylo? There was kind of an intimacy during Rey and…

Right? This kid is obviously an incredible young woman, but why on Earth should she be forced to demonstrate that under these circumstances? It’s completely insane that we would put that responsibility on a child, instead of collectively sharing that burden so no family would ever be put in that position.

This is true. That being said, hospital staff are a huge resource for law enforcement, and this cop damaged that relationship while trying to break the law (and hospital policy) on a national stage. They probably would’ve shit-canned him no matter what. Cops play that “super predator” shit every time some unarmed…

It sounds like SOMEBODY went to Big Words School and majored in Being A Big Dumb Jerk On The Internet.

God, you’re a huge fucking asshole, aren’t you?

There’s actually a really good article about the cost of making games somewhere on this site. I think Jason posted it. I’m actually pretty comfortable with how most games have handled micro transactions and loot boxes. Games are incredibly expensive to make, and I’m not the only person who wants them to remain…

Well actually... orcs are just nasty, brutish fallen elves.

Would you like to show us on the doll where the loot box touched you?

Panel lines and a flat coat is pretty much all I ever do. I’m always happy with the results.

I felt the same way until I just picked one up and started working on it. It’s a cool hobby, and I’m lucky that my wife has been really supportive of me filling the house with gundam kits. I would recommend a master grade 1/100 kit if you can find something cheap on amazon.

High fuckin’ five, man.

Criminality is like, the least of all the differences between child pornography and adult entertainment.

I get that this is an emerging market/new media situation. I am sympathetic to that. A lot of folks who are self employed still have to be licensed or bonded in their chosen field. They still have to work within federal, state and local law. Even in the inherent risk, there is structure.

I don’t disagree with you, but this feels harsh. Which I think is the reality that some of these folks are running into. I’m pushing 40, and have had the same employer for almost 20 years. I chose stability over excitement or passion in my career, to provide for myself and my family. I’m trying to be sympathetic to…

Amen.

I get it. I’m seriously not trying to antagonize you. One (of many) key differences to remember is that BLM is not a group with central leadership. The white supremacists, neo-nazis and klan all are. They absolutely have an agenda that is born out of violence and bigotry, and are actively working towards goals that…

The nazis didn’t go away in 1948 because we ingnored them. They went away because we killed them. In a big fucking war. Same with the confederacy. You go right ahead and give them a seat at your table. The rest of us will give them a middle finger, and a swift kick in the ass. Hard.

I’m pretty sure that a few German guys have gotten the shit kicked out of them by Jews over the years too. And you know what? It sucks that we live in a world where people kick the shit out of each other. What sucks even more, is that we live in a world where historically, that shit-kicking has been completely…
