Man, there’s a lot of pretty depressing stuff in here. Frostbite seems to be a recurring problem in many of these games, and the attitude of EA’s upper management is disheartening on multiple levels, if not surprising. But what’s even more concerning is how increasingly common it is for single-player games to be to…

What, your ideal Star Wars team doesn’t feature the Manatee, Khal Drogo, the Fairy Princess, the Rebel Cosplayer, and Broomhilda the Witch?

Virtually every one that isn’t making a battlefield like game.

Frostbite

Yeah, they have a crazy way of doing that. Which I find odd. Why is it soooo hard to believe that other countries were doing things during the time of Egypt. Oh that’s right whitewashing... anyhoooo lalalal not listening!

The ones who do this are so accustomed to homogeneity that they’re incapable of thinking for themselves. Or, further, of even considering themselves as individuals, separate from their in-groups.

White people’s relationship with Iran fascinates me. On any given hour talking to a white person Iran is either country of brown terrorists intent on the destruction of the west or they’re the white people who invented human civilization in the middle east.

Also, when did white supremacy collectively decide that…

the white folk who understand it don’t need it and the ones who do won’t read it.

I love it when I see ignorant white people discuss Africa, ugh it’s pretty hilarious. Especially when I tell them about Timbuktu. For people who aren’t aware “ Books were not only written in Timbuktu, but they were also imported and copied there. There was an advanced local book copying industry in the city. The…

Why do these dumb ass wypipo keep bringing knives to a gunfight?

The dog analogy is probably the greatest way I’ve ever seen this idea explained.

I have gotten invited, and gone (I’m not married in or anything like that), but I’d feel bad if I knew I made anyone feel the way you and others in this thread have described. I feel like self serving liberalism is in many ways a greater threat than open racism, and I’m sure I’ve been guilty of it at times.

I quietly accepted this phrase because Back people love their phrases and they meant well BUT now I finally feel free to say; fuck this concept! Either the white person is rolling as a relative and/or a good friend (like already been to your momma’s and grandmother’s house good) or they aren’t invited. And people are…

What’s a Post Malone? I thought it was a offense play you ran on the Utah Jazz in the early 90s

A local game store in Jacksonville. I’m not a big online player. Call me old school (which I am, given that I’m actually getting to be pretty old), but I find that a large part of the charm of D&D is getting to sit down with people face-to-face.

You’re looking for his Insight, not his Perception actually. They’re both wisdom based skills so I understand your confusion

I want to see a black civilization that is “Up North” and they hail from the “Frozen Mountains” or “Fae Forests”. They have survived because of their strong “Engineering/Architecture” skills. Their magic centers around “Ice” or “Water”. Everything in quotes are invariably attached to white races, so shake it up for…

I don’t play D&D, but as a black nerd I think there are two points that stick out at me. One, it’s not especially surprising that the creators would draw from real world black cultures to build their fantasy one in an effort to not be offensive. And two, I just think that media creators don’t really understand what…

Like Chult, the Forgotten Realms setting of Maztica, Al-Qadim, Shou and Kara-Tur have always been hackneyed reflections of their real world analogues. Knowing how these sorts of things almost inevitably go, with even the best intentions sunk by unrecognized bias, stereotyping or omission, I’m always surprised when…

I mean, let’s be honest: D&D has a race problem... and it’s the Tieflings.
