It's the Holy Grail defense... "We apologize for the fault in our social media accounts. Those responsible have been sacked." "We apologize again for the fault in our social media accounts. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked." "The directors...

It was a rather convincing human-suit.

My advice to TSR 3.1 - Bury it. And then bury the shovel.

DId anyone else read the Twi'lek accent as at least partially Israeli? Clearly, there is meant to be French in it as Senator Orm Free Taa is a Vichy analog (and a contrast to last week's Senator Singh). I mean, I could be reading into it but that's what it sounded like to me.

A number of very large, very successful companies embrace that idea. Microsoft, for example, turns a blind eye to Windows piracy in developing markets. Enforcement is expensive and would only provide a nominal return. But much of the piracy winds up actually benefiting Microsoft by cementing its...

You roll 15 1's and what do you get? A new character sheet because your first one is dead.

If you REALLY want the Robert Johnson background, for his background, you need to give him the Homewrecker flaws (can't resist romantic dalliances with married women) and an additional flaw that he won't turn up a free drink and make him Vulnerable to Poisons. Robert Johnson died after being...

Maleficent in dragon form and Giga Bowser, respectively.

WOTC is such an evil selfish corporation, that one of the first things they did was create the Open Game License.

Next week, they will rebrand as WFU, Inc. As in, "We're F**k-Ups." Copy from the future:

Just remember... You can't spell trashfire without T S R.

TNG features the most glorious sweater in television history. Far superior to any knit offerings worn by Dr. Cliff Huxtable. Never before and not since has any character been clad in such stitched sartorial splendor as Ensign Wesley Crusher.

Yes you can. You can delete your account. You can mute or block other users. You can just not open the app or load up the website. You can ignore your mentions. And, of course, you can refrain from spouting off in the first place. And, just as a reminder, what happened here was Ernie went...

Right now in New York City, there’s a whole lot of cameras and microphones at a place called Foley Square. Now, let’s say I go on down to Foley Square right now, stand on the courthouse steps in front of those camera and microphones, and spout off on whether I believe that gender exists on a...

Ernie was, is, and will continue to be safe. He left Twitter because he doesn't like the responses to the dumb stuff he's been posting. It's not about him wanting to be safe; it's about him not wanting to be criticized.

I think part of the problem is a failure of a lot of people to understand what Twitter (and most social media) is. It's a street corner with a megaphone and a live satellite feed.

The first rule of being in a hole is STOP DIGGING! This has been going on for a week now. All because Ernie's vocabulary does not include either the phrase "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong." There are two paths you can take. The path of humility, where you admit your mistake, express contrition...

I remember exploring cisterns in Israel 25 years back. In no small part because one of the sites was only accessible by an extremely steep descent (I think it was Arbela) and I lost my footing and nearly fell off a cliff. It was worth it though to go crawling through passageways that opened up...

While I note the humorous nature of your reply, as a matter of clarification, I'm not calling all old-school gamers out-of-touch grognards. I'm saying that grognardism on display by Ernie (and many of the older guard) reinforces a stereotype which, like it or not, some older gamers need to...

They're doing damage to older players. When the face of the older generation is a cartoonishly out-of-touch, hidebound grognard, it hurts the game as a whole by creating a generational rift. On top of it all, there winds up being a real risk to a loss of institutional knowledge as grognard...
