    What's the best potato?

    I feel like latkes need to be added to the list. A lot of us are citing variations on the theme.

    Burger me!

    Trying to get Americans to believe weird things about Canada is a hallowed sub-genre of comedy up here. Rick Mercer basically built his career on it. See also half of SCTV’s content. I have lived in Ontario and been across the country several times and never seen or heard of ketchup on iced...

    What's the best potato?

    The only way I don't like a potato is raw or boiled. Everything else is just various degrees of yum. I guess latkes would be my ultimate, but they’re not on the list.

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    It really depends on the DM. I think a high level adventurer could be mean just about anything - pop culture is full of heroes who choose to live anonymous, quiet lives. Just because someone is Level 20 on their character class sheet doesn't mean they are a big deal in that world. Season 3...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I can't disagree. I love the sound of it, and those opening lines, but by the second verse it's, yeah, pretty preachy in a very unoriginal way.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Strongly agree on the former, but hard disagree on the latter - it's one of the few Christmas songs I somewhat like. Edit: the lyrics are kind of basic and on the nose, but I've always loved the wistfulness of the opening verse, "So this is Christmas / And what have you done?"

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Streaming might be a factor these days, but the UK Christmas song phenomenon has been around for decades! It seems like one of those peculiarly British traditions. Not that you don't get holiday songs in every language and culture, but the specifically British Christmas song thing, where even...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Christmas songs in context are fine: being sung by carolers, little kids at parties, or at church, for the religious ones. Wonderful, have fun. They're basically novelty songs. "(Last) Christmas" is certainly a Christmas song not just in title and setting but also in motif (gift-giving). Its...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I just think they're mostly uninspired and uninteresting, if not downright annoying. "Jolly" is not a very compelling emotion for a song, IMO, and the religious ones aren't really for me. Most are just not good songs, and get played because they're part of the whole X-mas marketing racket...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I love George Michael. Just not this song. But I kinda hate conventional Christmas songs in general.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I’m pretty safe. I keep a large Xmas playlist for my class and that song is not on it. I don’t listen to the radio and I avoid shopping malls. The bars and restaurants I frequent wouldn’t play it. So unless it comes up on a YouTube video, I’m going to avoid it for another year. It’s also less...

    D&D 5E (2024) So the Armorer still need be Wearing before Don his armor.

    I too have had that happen. The whole fun of an attack when the party is unprepared is that they have to come up with ways to compensate.

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    Nothing. Zero assigned reading. I describe the setting in session zero and answer any questions they have during character creation. The world unfolds as they play through it.

    RPG Evolution: Gift Ideas for Miniature Gamers (2025)

    What's the quality on those Under Dusk miniatures? I bought a set of Wildspire miniatures because they were cheap and...you get what you pay for. If you're only interested in tokens for tabletop use, then they're probably good enough, but don't buy them for a serious miniatures afficionado...
