    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Without having seen the article in question, it's worth remembering that much of what gets called "stoicism" these days has little to do with the Stoics--same as much of what gets called "cynicism" has next to nothing to do with the Cynics. I can see how someone might look at what gets called...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    A couple years ago, my wife and I went to the Black Hills (among other places in South Dakota) and made a point to see as little of the Heads as we could. There was one (very nice) scenic drive that made it impossible, but other than that we managed to avoid all the defaced (heh) mountains in...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Unrelated to the above ... Somehow I don't think you actually agree with that. I'm pretty sure you don't understand it.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My own leanings are toward Dr Pepper, though either Pepsi or Coke will do in a pinch. :LOL:

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There does seem to be something distinctly dude-ish about the obsessions among some fan-bros with peat levels (in ppm) or hoppy bitterness (in IBUs). That said, my own carbonated beverage of preference is a Zero, not a Diet, and I do feel as though it's a preference based on the actual taste/s...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Unrelated to the above ... I'm not the only one looking at that thread title and getting a strong whiff of J. Jonah Jameson, am I?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    As someone who kinda stopped listening to music for pleasure (after playing in basement and garage bands, and getting into recording, and ... and ...) because I trust neither my hearing nor my emotional responses ... I feel vaguely as though I agree with both Zeno and Achilles, here.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Hey, I've never once snarked on pineapple on pizza. Olives, sure--though I'd hope my referring to them as "non-food objects" was clearly a joke--but not pineapple.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Presuming a thing is awesome because it is popular (which the post you're responding to did not do) is the same fallacy as presuming it's terrible because it's popular, yes. On the other hand, if a lot of people are really enjoying it, maybe it's not as bad as all that, eh?

    Look, if the interviewers are going to gay-panic like that I probably don't wanna work there, anyway.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I can think of several media it can apply to, and TRPGs aren't in the top three.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Closest I can think of is the sending out of the seventy-two--but the instructions for if they are not welcomed in a place are not "shrug and walk away."

    Sinners (2025)

    Ah. IIRC the shootout was before the end credits (which I'm calling anything after that an epilogue). We're just using "epilogue" differently is all. No worries--I don't disagree as far as structure goes.

    ToV Other than "It's not made by WotC", what's the elevator pitch for Tales of the Valiant?

    I would absolutely pick and choose the spells from Deep Magic I'd place in any game I was running. I have a whitelist and Deep Magic isn't (mostly) on it.

    Sinners (2025)

    Wasn't that the first one (the one set in the late 1980s/early 1990s)?

    ToV Other than "It's not made by WotC", what's the elevator pitch for Tales of the Valiant?

    I've bounced off of A5e every time I've tried to read any of it, so take my feelings on ToV with as much salt as you feel relevant--but I did find the ToV Game Master's Guide vastly superior to either of WotC's variants, especially the Revised.

    I think the obviousness of the choice is going to be related to how badly you think you screwed up your life, and how much of that you think you could avoid.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Man, you keep saying that as though you're the only expert on that, and not only am I convinced you're not the only expert on that here, I do not believe you are an expert on that.
