The ‘eed plebnista’ scene is a classic! (and the image of Cloud William solemnly, if uncomprehendingly facing the US flag sums our political discourse here quite nicely!)

Brace yourselves... I'm going to say something (slightly) positive about Square-Enix's foray into blockchain. At least Squeenix has a popular metaverse in which to sell cryptographically unique digital goods. It's called Final Fantasy XIV. Of course, blockchain adds nothing to their metaverse...

I assumed the minivan was for carting all the little satans to soccer practice.

How did that work out? I'm considering doing something like that in my current game, depending on how interested my players are in exploiting the nature of the setting.

So I’m running 5e again. 2 sessions in and the introductory adventure is done, the party is level 2, and their 1st small expedition into uncharted territory begins on Friday. Which has got me thinking about pacing. What’s everyone’s preference when it comes to leveling speed? On average how many...

D&D makes pan-anachronism a thing!

I'm pretty sure my group would have killed them, taken their stuff, and then began work on a skull-shaped stronghold in a swamp somewhere.

Two from Phoebe Bridgers:

The early reviews are out and they’re good!

And more generally speaking, if a lack of continuity errors and similar faults were important in film they’d give awards for it at Cannes & the Oscars. (spoiler for people who only watch YouTube: they don’t)

What a strange comment to read in the 3rd decade of the Pokemon Era. Also, my group might need this. Though with 6 players in a 5e game, pets might be a bit much - I know some of my guys will try to catch them all!

Nope. Didn't explain it at all. I really respect Villeneuve's decision not to use even a single frame of the film to elucidate the explode-y reaction that occurs when a laser intersects a Holtzmann Effect shield. It's almost like he was deliberately provoking all those Youtube/social media...

Looking good! I predict the actual superheroics will bore me but the demigod road movie and demigod rom-com parts will more than make up for it. Also, calling it now: this one’s going to be divisive.

Escaped mansion-in-a-book! (this was a 2nd session of the new campaign I'm DM'ing - "The Book of the Arc").

It's almost like someone didn't watch the original series!

Since it’s true movie confessions time: I’m technically a person of color but I love the films of Wes Anderson & Whit Stillman (Metropolitan & Barcelona are two of my favorite films). And despite left-of-center (for the US at any rate) politics, I will always love Mr. Roberts, the finest war...

Have you seen Once Upon a Time in the West?

We're watching a personal family tragedy, though. I don't think it should be read as a statement about the quality of mental health care in the Federation in the 24th century. We see a woman who refuses treatment and the effect it has on her family -- which should be noted, seems to be about as...

Picard's always been flawed. But he's never been worthless (not even in Picard). What's with contemporary fandoms's allergic reaction to humanizing protagonists? Remember the scene in TNG when Q walks into Ten Forward and Guinan sticks her hands out like she's going zap his smug as... posterior...

I'd like to think so.
