    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There are also people who know that you know that they know; they know Henry knows and Henry knows they know it. They're a knowledgeable family.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Where I live we get jury summons like once every year or two. I technically work for the state government as well, which is required to pay me my fully salary for every day I'm on jury duty, which means I (and other people who work where I work, like my wife) end up actually sitting on juries...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    I went with two "lose interest" reasons because that really seems to be driving force behind it. I will say that I did have a 3.5 campaign that went into the mid-teens and I had an increasingly difficult time balancing encounters. Of course I'm much more likely to start a new campaign with new...

    What I'd love to see is an animated take on Six of Crows that's more faithful to the material than the Shadow & Bone TV show was

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    I always wondered if he was Steve's inspiration for leading groups himself post-snap

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    I haven't seen the film yet (probably won't see it in theaters, anyway) but I do think it might be worth remembering that when Steve first met him, Sam Wilson was basically serving as a clinical social worker.

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    That and flirtations with fascism in the US are always very weird because US fascism is also paradoxically skeptical of the "State" as an entity, so US action movie fascism is more about lone white man vigilantes with gun(s) shooting mostly minority petty criminals while spouting enough white...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I mean, I'd like to think that in a perfect world, we wouldn't refer to any kind of pizza as bad. . Except for New York pizza :p

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Look, two entertainment things coming out at roughly the same time with a bit too many superficial similarities to be purely coincidental is thing that has happened many times, long before Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine hit the airwaves and many, many more times since. It's kind of what the...

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    Yeah, and popular U.S. action movies haven't been openly fascist-leaning since the 80's

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Anchovies have been around forever and will never be "the next big thing" which is absolutely wonderful because it means way more for me

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Star Wars space physics as always been highly messed up (see my earlier post about the B-Wing, a space ship with a gyroscopic stabilizers to keep the pilot locked to the horizon, in space), and Star Wars has always had bombers who dropped their payload (see: Empire Strikes Back, The for an...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    That's just the JJ Abrams "Mystery Box" nonsense working as intended. I do think also one of the shows (maybe Ahsoka?) has Hux's dad show up briefly as a high-ranking Imperial (Remnant?) officer.
