    Most of the hate for Veilguard had little to actually do with the game itself, sadly

    I have often heard them referred to as "walk-and-talk segments", almost always disparagingly

    What's the best potato?

    Mashed parsnips is also where it's at

    What's the best potato?

    I know that a lot of foodies and fancy chefs and whatnot like to put out pureed potatoes and say "this is mashed potatoes" but that is absolute nonsense; if your mashed potatoes aren't lumpy I don't them on my plate.

    What's the best potato?

    The latter two are what I consider a classic hash brown. Home fries aren't terrible but I definitely prefer them shredded (and tots are definitely high up there too!)

    Thread block

    Yeah, if someone blocks me in a thread where we're arguing and I was pretty sure I didn't cross any lines myself, I usually assume that they're trying to stop themselves from stepping over the line in response. At least, that's ended up being the case the few times I've had a similar thing...

    Thread block

    Not to speak for anybody else, and I don't know the particulars of this one since I've not really been following that thread, but there are times on this forum when someone will block a group of people at least temporarily so they don't get themselves sucked in to endless arguments. Again, not...

    Thread block

    Yes, if you are blocked by the thread's OP you cannot access the rest of the thread. That thread still exists for me as well, but there are threads I used to frequent that give me error messages that let me know I've been blocked their OP.

    What's the best potato?

    I went with mashed but it took a lot to make me turn away from hash browns. The thing about potatoes is that the closer it is to its natural state the less appealing it gets* *baked potatoes being the exception

    Traveller 5e coming from World's Largest RPG in cooperation with Mongoose Publishing

    I'll say that I'm at least intrigued. Will it be a masterful, chocolate-and-peanut-butter blend of two great but seemingly incompatible things, like Dungeon World? Or will it be a confused, half-measured mess of a thing that somehow fails to capture the magic of either property, like Dungeon World?

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I'd like to amend this and state that the worst Christmas song is actually Do They Know it's Christmas?, a song that manages to be more condescendingly wrong about the entire continent of Africa than the seminal Toto song Africa But then I'd have to immediately amend that statement to state...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    And I'm out. Kid has the Spotify on the car, says "I'm going to play Christmas songs", then does a search and says "there's four different artists for this song." Wife: "What song is it?" Kid: "Last Christmas" Wife: "Wham!" And that was that. I also ended up telling my wife about what...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Sorry to say but if mashed potatoes are the worst food at your Thanksgiving dinner than you need to step up your mashed potato game

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    As you can tell, my humor is geared towards the intersection of "people who know about Eberron's deep setting lore" and "people who know about recent rap feuds"

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    A few years ago I was listening to a "Classic Rock" station and American Idiot started playing and this was me:

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    The worst Christmas song is actually multiple Christmas songs, which is every Christmas song that is clearly an adult trying to sing like they are a child

    I didn't end up buying anything either. Been having fun continuing to play Gwent 3: The Wild Gwent on my Switch

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    I was going to say, Eberron lacks progression by design. It's classical starting point (998 YK) was literally designed in lab to provide the best possible jumping off point for all kinds of different adventures. Advancing any kind of metaplot would necessarily require providing answers to at...
