And now I have to watch the ones I haven't seen so I can weigh in. And I'd better re-watch the ones I haven't seen in awhile. To avoid recency bias, I'll need to watch those I've seen more recently. Darn. ;) I haven't seen all of them, so I can't speak to those. I'd agree with Snarf that No...

I'm so saddened to hear this. We've lost a true icon.

Thanks for responding, and you're dead on about the ego part. It's something that I'm still trying to adapt to. Full ROM has never really been a problem for me, and it's one of those dimensions of ego-lifting that's pretty easy to circumvent. Rather, it's the nebulousness of paused reps...

As an academic, I've been able to dip my toes in that field a tiny bit through publishing and networking (it's very, very small). My experience thus far has been so, so much more enjoyable than engaging folks on message boards but also much narrower and slower. It's a microcosm in a lot of ways...

I've lifted on an off again for decades at this point. I first got into it a bit before my 30s, and went from 135 lbs (5'7") to 180 at my heaviest. After grad school and kids derailed me, I started taking it seriously again after the pandemic in my 40s. I spent the first year or so simply...

I for one welcome our Snarfian overlords. It may be a totalitarian state, but the drinks are good and the allusions to Derek sustain.

Well that post certainly proved everyone's suspicions about your motives true.

I haven't used it much, but I have used it as a player to quickly generate holy texts and sayings my cleric or paladin can "cite" in game. It took a few stabs at getting. ChatGPT Certainly! Here are Torm the True's doctrines presented as sayings: 1. Duty and Loyalty: "In Torm's name, duty...

To which my coworker would reply, "why be part of the problem when you could be the whole problem?"

Aaaaand enter the bolded font. That'll show 'em.

God grant me the confidence of someone on a message board posting made-up facts about screenwriters' comparative lack of literacy.

Bruh, you may disagree with the outcome of RAW, but when you have lots of people patiently explaining them to you and incorporating outside sources to help you understand and you're still relying on/bending the meaning of the word "simultaneous," you're the problem here.

This is a great point, and one I hadn't really considered, even as a fan of the B/X reaction roll. I'm really enjoying your posts!

I think 2e gets a bad rap, and I look forward to this thread! :)

Oof. This fella keeps digging that "BuT rEvErSe RaCisM" hole deeper and deeper.

That posters, properly seasoned and cooked, can be surprisingly delicious?

You really don't know what censorship means.

Big ups to @Maxperson for throwing me a bone to reply to and actually getting to talk about Bastions in the Bastion thread as opposed to...edition warring/fighters/warlords ad nauseum.

Yup! I replied elsewhere in the thread that I posted before I had a chance to get to that part (I am a creature of impulse). While I'd like the default to sync with their other assumptions, I also appreciate the hand-waviness of the latter part. I also would like to see more events and rooms...

Incidentally, I had another moment of "Oooooh, I'd like to chime in and hear what people are saying in this thread" moment on Bastions. Looked in, saw the same sniping, and noped out.
