    Didn't know much about Ezra, but now knowing he's an ex child actor that puts his escapades into a new light for me.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Some goods news: The German RKI officially views the latest summer wave to be at an end. Incidence just fell by again (-27% compared to previous week) and is now at 345.9. 49,839 new cases yesterday, although by now everybody expects a large number to be no longer registered. I am probably not...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Maybe that is a brilliant guerrilla marketing move. The movie is so bad they'd never get their money back after the first weekend once the people find out. Now the cancel it, has the fans start petitions to get it released, they let them win and then all those fans who participated in the...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    I am currently stuck at home with COVID as well. First symptoms started on the 23rd and then I got a positive test on the 26th. One week before first symptoms I know I was negative because I had to do a PCR test on the 16th to be allowed to board the ship. So with the incubation period being...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Well, it's happening everywhere anyway Non-representative Facebook poll gave 300/1,300 RaR participants that responded with having caught COVID there. Fortunately none had any symptoms worth mentioning (maybe because everybody getting seriously sick not being on Facebook to respond to some ad...

    Spoilers MCU - a list of loose threads, plot seeds, and the like

    He was also briefly in Shang-Chi. Seems to have calmed down a lot and is participating in non-lethal super-fights and willingly goes back to prison afterwards. Wonder if that's supposed to be pre- or post-She-Hulk

    D&D 5E (2024) The Half Orc. Are they still needed?

    Is any race needed? Just assign a point value to every racial trait and let players buy them according to some budget and then slap on whatever fluff description they want

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    In Germany you're supposed to get a official PCR test done for free after you got a positive self-test at home and then the result of the PCR would be uploaded into the app. Although no one knows how many people just never tell anyone of a positive self test and just stay at home for a couple...

    Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers

    Not if the "MCU continuity department" does their homework. Either stick to introduce entities of a power scale that the answer to what they were doing back then can stay as "something, doesn't really matter anyway" or introduce new stuff in a way that doesn't create such questions. A billion...

    Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers

    Saw it yesterday and to me it's not only the worst Thor movie but one of the worst MCU movies. The MCU really starts to be torn apart by being pulled into too many directions at once. Whereas the early phases seemed carefully orchestrated with an eye to the greater whole, so much stuff...

    Thor: Love and Thunder teaser

    Just came back from the cinema. I can't recommend the movie. It somehow felt "off". IMHO weaker than Dark World and the MCU seems to fray at the edges. To me it just loses cohesion. What is their role and relation to the rest of the MCU? It was full of stuff that just makes you question Where...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Well, for all it was made up to be the expert's report paper was surprisingly disappointing and every faction now feels supported in their former view on the matter as the expert assessment "clearly agrees with them". There are also reports of quarrel in the 18-people committee that was tasked...

    I say thank you to my Alexa for anything but ending timers and alarms with "Alexa stop". Any real question answered I respond with thank you by reflex

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    In Germany a council of scientists and experts was tasked with an evaluation of all the different Covid meassures that have been taken during the past 3 years. Today they finally publishing their 165 pages long paper. This result will be crucial for any further meassures

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Don't think so. Care about covid went down to almost zero last summer too and Ukraine is not even top news anymore in Germany. Just a couple of seconds at the end of the daily news like "oh yeah, that's also still going on somewhere east" People being upset about cancelled flights gets more...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    When the mask mandate was lifted basically everywhere a lot of people in polls claimed that they would just continue to mask while shopping. Early May the groceries chains reported that a "majority" of customers were still masked (51%? 60%? 80%? never specified that vague statement further)...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Well, while I haven't been asked personally but we apparently have decided as a society that we're cool with that. Current situation in Germany: Since April mandate to wear masks is off everywhere but in public transport and nursing/medical facilities. And basically that's it. People go...

    Wizards of the Coast Employees Walk Out Over Hasbro's 'Tone-Deaf' Response to Overturning of Roe v. Wade

    Likewise 95% of any social responsibility and mission statements are solely for the very same reason. For those in the front row maybe. For those in the second and especially third line or beyond it probably will never matter. You know who makes your car and expect them so show some values...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Or some complete strangers who you never even learn about after you and your relatives got nothing worse than a light sneeze In Germany not even actually catching Covid is a big thing anymore. No symptoms? Then after 5 days you're free to go out and mingle again. No test required...

    Wizards of the Coast Employees Walk Out Over Hasbro's 'Tone-Deaf' Response to Overturning of Roe v. Wade

    Democrazy != will of the majority. That'd be Ochlocrazy. The key difference between those are limits to the will of the majority that at least require an overwhelming majority rather than just a majority on some issues and put other issues entirely out of reach of any majority Otherwise we're...
