Setting that's a cross between cyberpunk and dieselpunk. It's the future and there's computers and megacorps, but there's also prohibition and gangsters. EDIT: Prohibition and densely packed cities should both be played up to distinguish this from the Chairmen tribe from Fallout New Vegas, who...

Humble Pi by Matt Parker is proving to be pretty good

And they continue getting better from there (except for the final few installments of the series, which were negatively impacted by the fact that Sir Terry was at that point suffering from advanced alzheimer's disease)

If Nurgle isn't a de facto good guy than an argument could be made that the Eldar aren't either. The impression I've gotten of Ynnead is a less avuncular Nurgle

repaired link Ten doors. pick one and tell me why.

If you include the world of CRPGs the main plot of Fallout 3 is about stopping fascists

I spent one summer as a kid afraid to eat solid foods after seeing part of a biopic about a singer who choked to death

That reminds me of an old joke. A man goes in for surgery and he asks the surgeon "Will I be able to play the piano after the operation?". The doctor replies "yes, you will". The patient says "great! I couldn't before"

We need like a generic, all the time, lore tidbits thread

I think the rationale for constitution-based initiative would be that it's sort of the opposite of decrepitude

Which is strange because it's the only piece of artwork in the book that's actually any good

Red and darkness cloud your vision, but then they fade away to reveal a new place that is at once gleaming white and bathed in shadow. You all meet before the judge of the dead...

It would be nice if there was an actually good version of Dreams in the Witch House EDIT: Also, it would be cool if someone did The Rime of the Ancient Mariner as a movie

Here's another weird idea that shows up in a couple of places. In both Metalocalypse and the last two seasons of Mystery Science Theater 3000 there's a bit about water being used as a recording medium. Are they refrencing something?

I'm struck with the (probably meaningless) concordance between the speech about Hell from Jacob's Ladder and some of the tenets of the Hellraiser universe, with the whole demons-to-some0angels-to-others thing and the idea of the distinction between torment and bliss being a matter of perspective

That reminds me of a sword that appears a parable told by the Taoist philosopher Lieh Tzu; The sword, "Container of Light" is invisible and intangible, and a person struck with it - which can be done without even waking them - merely feels achy in the affected body parts the next day

I will have to look into that. Thanks.

Or it's the START of wacky adventures in Ponyville

Don't forget Warhammer 40000. The Imperium are way more Nazi-ish than the empire from Star Wars (with a little bit of Axis Japan mixed in too). And Khorne and the Necrons are vaguely fascist as well. So you get to kill Nazis if you play the game as Tzeentch, Slannesh, or Nurgle (the de facto...

The Imperial Dynasty of America - Call of Cthulhu. Four years after the events of The Repairer of Reputations, an outbreak of mass insanity (a la In the Mouth of Madness) has swallowed the world, and Hildred Castaigne has been crowned king after all; his institutionalization and subsequent death...
