PERFECT assessment. 10/10

In the end...it really is just Dungeons and Dragons.  It has inspirations from other cultures...sure.  It also has dragons and talking robots and people who can shoot fire from their hands.  Why doesn’t the author make the same complaint of Wizards of the Coast themselves?

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

A more authentic Apple commercial, based upon my experiences using Siri:

I don’t mean to sound negative or condescending in any way but... C’mon Fam... really?

As funny as this meme is, most of the time presenters are dusted with powder makeup to remove natural skin oil shine. If they recorded at home, which is likely, they probably didn’t have the necessary makeup artist on-site to prep them for the recording, so they end up looking shiny.  We all look shiny, we just have…

“HAH! YOUR game has to LOAD!”

I don’t know who’s telling the truth on this one, obviously, but we don’t have to resort to every possible mental gymnastic we can conjure to avoid ever blaming a woman for wrongdoing, either.

You aren’t. Noah Hawley even gave an interview where he flat out says its rape, and David is not the hero. He’s been telling us this all season but the delusion, OUR & DAVIDS, is that David couldn’t be bad, “[He’s] a good person & [he] deserves love.” Good people don’t rape people. Rapists don’t deserve love.

How about we start a new trend, where people jealously guard their privacy instead of sharing everything short of what their last bowel movement smelled like on social media. Seeing as fame is getting people in more and more trouble, the new meme should go, “How invisible are you?”

I think the real story is that io9, a geek culture site, hired people who hadn’t seen Blade Runner. I’m pretty sure you get your geek card revoked for that. ;)

Half-Life’s levels are complex mazes,
