Dave Arneson got Jack Kirby-ed.

Oh yeah because games should only be for the hardcore people.

The fact that nobody interjected at all—either to “debate” his point or out of some need to virtue signal their agreement with his point—was the most shocking part of the clip.

Not everybody was born into DOS. Sucks for them, but you get what you can get.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man

I can’t stand it! I know you planned it! 

“Wow, amazing. NONE of the Citroen trucks lasted more than 3,000 miles and they all failed catastrophically! Congrats on the sabotage.”

“I was terrified he was going to murder (or at least attack) someone. So I confronted him with my young child!”

Your line is, “No, he’s just a kid, and then his mom dies and he’s very sad.”
