EDIT: Nah. Never mind.

Yeah, that was a good one. Will is not a sorcerer. Eleven is the real sorcerer. In 5e terms, she can be the psionic-themed aberrant mind sorcerer. But her origin story has sorcerer written all over it. Her powers are innate. It annoyed me how Mike kept saying Will's powers were innate. I think...

Thanks for taking the time to explain! I appreciate it. Being in a different time zone, I get a different time stamp (for me, it says you posted at 10:46 pm on Dec 25). That's probably partly why I was confused.

Just watched episodes 5 and 6! Whooo boy! Gotta wait till after dinner to watch the last one. Then it’s another week till the finale!

Uh, he says he's "an hour and a half into Xmas Day" and that he "put on [his] Xmas Day playlist" and that the song played while he was out of the room playing a computer game and concludes that if he had "waited two more songs [he] would have been out". I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Could...

According to Wikipedia, Whamageddon "is a game played during the 24 days before Christmas in which players try to go from 1 December to the end of Christmas Eve (24 December) ..." According to the Whamageddon website, the 2nd rule is "The game starts on December 1st and finishes at the end of...

Nah, you would've been fine. You only have to last till the end of Christmas Eve. If you hear it on Christmas Day, you're all good!

If you want supernatural elements, that BBC miniseries Troy: Fall of a City had them in spades. Too bad it was so awful in every other respect ...

Good luck with that! They’re safely tucked away in their case.

Nope, I’ve been pretty careful. I even took the precaution of removing it from my Christmas music playlist earlier in the month. I absolutely did get lucky at the shops, but they’re all closed now. The chances of me hearing that song in the next hour is negligible.

It’s 10:30 pm on Christmas Eve, and we don’t have any music playing. I think I’ll be OK.

No, it’s not “suddenly” all about the lyrics. It was only ever about the lyrics. I specifically was commenting on what the song was “about” – e.g. its subject matter, aka its lyrics. I survived! Only heard covers.

I’m far from being the first to criticize the lyrics of that song. So much so that, as I pointed out, even its creator describes it as being one of the worst songs ever. Not sure why I’m being singled out here for expressing a common opinion. It’s on mine …

I mean, Sir Bob has said that he is "responsible for two of the worst songs in history: 'Do They Know it's Christmas?' [and] 'We are the World'". I don’t think it’s churlish to criticize the song’s awful lyrics just because it was used to raise a lot of money for charity. “It was for a good...

My mother sent me a novel my cousin wrote set in Armenia during the war with Azerbaijan in the 90s. It's called Mountains on Fire. It's pretty good so far. (I am most of the way through.)

Do They Know It's Christmas? isn't a Beatles song. It's that awful Band Aid "supergroup" song from the 80s. The one about how we should feel bad for the Africans while we party because they don't have any water other than their tears and won't get any snow at Christmas and the only present...

Which is worse? Wonderful Christmastime or Do They Know It's Christmas? I would argue that the former, while banal, is nowhere near as tone deaf or cringey as the latter.

I finished Veilguard! That was epic!

Still Hawkeye for me!

Now that I've logged 68 hours with DA: Veilguard, I would like to confirm my initial assessments: it is very much a Dragon Age game, but more specifically, it is very much a successor to DA2 rather than DA:O or DA:I (even if the latter's protagonist shows up several times in DA:V). Having...
