A lot of times, historical revisionism is wishful thinking. In Baker’s case, however, his character was so off-the-mark, unexpected (like say, Peter Capaldi) that people weren’t ready for it.

I had to un-star this. I am 95% on board with all you say, but Colin Baker is @#$(* brilliant!

I love this article. Sometimes I worry Gary Taubes, who I respect to no end - and waved the flag early that our Government guidelines are full of shit and the science is crap (and/or doesn’t exist yet)- has gone over to the quick (insulin hypothesis) and easy route for solutions to our nutrition problem.

1+ year campaign here on Roll20 running all the 70s/80s modules. In 40s now, so it’s a double whammy of best edition of D&D + nostalgia.

* was *. It’s still great :)

It’s still the best. 2E rules are better, but dont have the weird/pulp aesthetic. Other editions: meh.

Roll 3d6 down the line, consult the book on what requirements you meet.

put the pussy on the chainwax.

You made me look up “stan” in the urban dictionary.

I did not know this. Thanks. And greetings to a fellow academic (English, here, too, whose MA was in British lit, now studying ludic media).

@#$%(* Fanta, too? Can I just say that there’s a difference between separating creator from content and realizing that the content is problematic. Ie, there’s a lot of problematic creators (say, Roman Polanski) whose works aren’t problematic. But, in this case, it seems like the work does reflect some of the more…

I went to star what you have to say and...then you called Shakespeare a plagiarist, which I think is the most reflexie response to William. First, we don’t really know which plays Shakespeare wrote, who borrowed from who among contemporaries - and if you’re referring to his re-contextualizing of other culture’s…

Congrats (now, trick is how to keep it off.) I have lost 60-80 pounds more than 5 times in my life and always put it back on. At 44, I’m dreading doing it again...I think all of the advice here is stellar (also the admonition about how exercise has little to no impact on diet loss; in fact, it makes you hungier).

We’re not any thinner, though.

I’d argue kids wouldn’t eat too many calories if they had a better insulin balance (by not ingesting sugar and carbs), which would leave the second half of the burger for my fat ass.

This is my favorite comment of all-time on the Internet, and 100% completely true.

It’s not just Ubisoft. It’s everywhere. Nick Srnicek’s book is a must-read on this subject: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32999998-platform-capitalism

eisenhower, eisenhower, eisenhower.

1. I completely disagree with premise of the article; low-level D&Ding is my favorite, as is giving some backstory and personality to the low level creatures which usually make up the enemies. A DM’s job is providing flavor and intrigue. Nothing, at low or high levels, should feel like fodder. (Except kobolds. I kid!…

...or you could play a classic server which isn’t throwing lipstick on the bloated, way-too easy pig. I lost my metaphor there.
