Finding an in person group can be challenging these days. When I moved 12 years ago I didn't want to stop playing with my friends so I bought Fantasy Grounds and we have been playing that way ever since. I eventually found other people at work in my new city who played and ended up in a couple...

Gloom is awesome, I kickstarted the new version but haven't played it yet.

I have my Sunday RPG group. I rotate with another player as GM but my campaigns tend to run longer. I primarily run Savage Worlds but change it up with other stuff (will be trying Blades in the Dark for my next one) and the other GM runs Pathfinder 1E. I also have a Thursday board game group...

A set schedule. My RPG group meets every Sunday and my board game group every Thursday, I usually just send a text early in the day to make sure everyone can make it.

He started out as a villain but moved to the role of an antihero a long time ago. I think he was even a recent member of the Justice League.

I would say not very free. As you say, he is just a boy and we get to see the look of horror on his face once he sees the corpse of the previous child and realizes what's going to happen to him.

I think this is what makes it a good episode, that people just accept abhorrent things all of the time and are good at justifying it. Take slavery as an example, in the west we find it horrible but we still buy and eat seafood and if reports are true then Thailand, one of the world's largest...

It's only the first episode so we will see what changes but if you are willing to put your life's truths on a TV show then expect it to be reduced. TV/movies aren't about realism, this is fictionalized TV and not real life. Most viewers aren't going to read interviews by the writer and...

I like that "hijinks" is now becoming how we talk about this show. I was ok with Pike's reaction. I think his reaction to the treatment of a child was normal human one and in character for him. I thought the story did a good job of examining a complex philosophical problem. We saw Pike's...

It wasn't so much that I didn't like them, it was more that it's a really old trope that just seemed lazy to me.

I thought it was Teth-Adam. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Teth-Adam_(Prime_Earth)

Why mess with a money-making formula? ;) I agree though. I love superhero movies, in large part because I have been reading comics since the late 70s/early 80s so I am all over any chance to see even a mindlessly entertaining superhero movie. The problem is, with Marvel specifically and...

I really enjoy this show. I went back and rewatched the first two seasons before starting the third and, all of the insane and gross stuff aside, the show fits a fair amount of social commentary into its stories.

I really wasn't expecting to like the show but it was better than I thought. I didn't care for the parents though. The serious parents who try to dissuade their kid from embracing their artistic tendencies fell flat for me. My only other issue was the FX for Kamala's powers, it just looked off...

I wish I were more excited for this movie. I love the Justice Society so that alone should have me all over this movie but I'm not a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson. He's an ok actor but every time I watch one of his movies I feel like I am watching Dwayne Johnson, not whatever character his is...

That's usually what I was doing during class instead of paying attention. I sat in the back with my face buried in my book :)

Not everyone will have the same response to phenomena. People aren't identical and don't react in exactly the same ways, they tend to react along a spectrum. Assuming someone is making a conscious decision to overlook a perceived inconsistency is not a fair assumption, they may just be more...

My grades in high school SUCKED. I was a slacker who barely did any of the work required except for the few classes that interested me. I barley had passing grades and was primarily the DM so while what you say may be generally true there are people like myself who were exceptions to that.

Another really good episode. The whole mind swap thing was so TOS and I loved it. We got more La'an and Chapel goodness, which is always a treat but I'm still finding it hard to care about Ortegas. I've been surprised with how little of Hemmer we have seen so far.
