Ahh, my mistake. Well cool picture regardless. Something about the human eye always makes a really striking picture.

A cool “progressive” band from the 2000's, led by musical genius Steven Wilson. Your avatar is the artwork for one of his unreleased singles, “Meantime”. Good tune.

I would just like to entirely ignore the issue at hand and reply to your comment just to congratulate you on your Porcupine Tree avatar. 

You wanna know what’s legitimately fucking badass, though?

Genuinely curious: why is that, exactly? I would assume the reason most people are not advised to represent themselves is due to lack of knowledge of the legal system. Is it just not advised to represent yourself because of the way it’s perceived, or because it’s much harder to keep a level head when defending your…

R. Kelly is a scumbag, and I can’t imagine his vapid, empty music inspiring anyone... but this is a comment clearly made by someone who’s never known what true despair and hopelessness feels like. In moments like that, it’s the little things that keep you going. 

Tiny quibble with that otherwise perfect episode: I always felt Zapp should have said, “lust for silver?” there. A neutral would want silver, not gold. 

I have a ball. Perhaps you’d like to play with it

It’s kind of a weird line, in my experience. A lot of times, the player wants to play a total wish fulfillment power fantasy kind of thing... and the DM wants to create a world that has real stakes and danger. Depending on who you’re playing with, it can be a challenge balancing that. 

I’m also gonna throw out a recommendation for the Glass Cannon Podcast. Been binging them over the past few weeks, incredible roleplaying, and also hilarious personalities. 

He’s like Zoidberg, with his ink escape defense. 

Jesus, the post-kinjapocalypse AV Club is overflowing with cynical hipsters.

Simply because many people find him amusing. I certainly found his Joker video amusing. It doesn’t have to be any deeper than that.

I’d personally take hipster celebration of something over hipster cynicism any day.

I liked the basic plot and worldbuilding of RPO a lot, I just wish it hadn’t gone off the rails. Personally, I would have liked seeing more exploration in the virtual MMO. Those were my favorite parts of the book. 

I liked the book as a dumb fun adventure book, but one thing I hated about it was how it put nerd pretension and elitism on a pedestal. In that book, every nerd’s fantasy about their esoteric trivia knowledge being revered came true. But what was worse was how damn smug all the characters were. If you couldn’t quote…

It’s Spielberg, so I assume it will be competently made. I want it to be a fun movie myself, but The Post was really terrible and dry. But Bridge of Spies was amazing, so who knows.

Honestly, I’d argue that Dave Filoni manages to capture the feel, heart, and sense of wonder that the original movies had that, thus far, the Disney movies simply have not been able to replicate. Both Abrams and Johnson created a product that looked and sounded like Star Wars, yet felt like a hollow shell. They’re…

But what if they made Luke Cage a ninja?

Honestly, the Morgan fatality was my favorite part of the episode. Because at this point I’m hate watching it, so I’m treating it as an extended B movie. So the more outrageous, non-pretentious stuff the better
