Just to be clear, not "eat your broccoli" broccoli. Broccoli Rabe. It's a really harsh, bitter, nutty, kick in the face. Waldy's in NYC would pair it with pepperoni, and it kind of worked, but I rarely ordered it.

The Ollama server I have running locally begs to differ.

Asparagus is on the Shame Basement list, but I see Broccoli Rabe on a lot of fancy brick oven pizzas. I hate broccoli rabe. It's basically asparagus but worse, but if people are putting that stuff on pizza, I'm surprised nobody is doing asparagus.

I worked at an LGS until about 2008. Alliance was our main distributor for basically everything we sold. We usually got warhams and dice from GW and Koplow respectively, but we would occasionally even get those items through Alliance if it meant maintaining the best discount tier and shipping...

Surely there's no chance it would appeal to boomers who remembered D&D fondly back in the 1970s.

Obligatory "that's not how rivers work"

This exact type of video was common in the Warhammer community as recently as a few years ago. I don't know if videos like it are still made. Some in the community nicknamed the channel who started the practice "Man Reads Book". And yes, people would absolutely screenshot the pages they...

Doesn't it say something that people even need to ASK whether Hight had a part to play in the misconduct? Like, I can't find anything in google connecting his name to any of the scandals, and given the history at Blizzard, is there any way Hasbro would have hired him without a thorough...

The direction those games went isn't necessarily anything to do with him. I don't know how Blizzard does things or what kind of creative control the Project Lead had for a given game. From my understanding, the company would have some stakeholders plan out the project, and it would be Hight's...

The people who are passionate about doing a job, whether it's building a TTRPG, writing code, or balancing an accounting ledger, are usually NOT passionate about sitting behind a desk watching other people do the work they used to love doing. +1 to the idea that Crawford and Perkins almost...

I mean, at the company I work at? yes, it's crazy and radical. All of our executive hires come from outside except for one guy who had left the company like 12 years prior, gained a lot of experience at another job, and was rehired at the C-level. Other than that one weird situation...

accidental double post

The Project Lead for a game would be FAR lower on the chain of command than Moynihan was (or her abuser). "During its decline" isn't really what happened. From 2011 to 2024, the game had multiple rises and falls. If he was there for a decline, he was there on the way up too. He's not a...

He worked on games that have HUGE world building and story, too. Command & Conquer, WoW have far more backstory than is needed for any game of their genre. He's probably overseen everything we really care about short of book publishing.

He was employed at Blizzard long before Microsoft got involved. Maybe he looked for an exit BECAUSE he didn't love the new ownership? Edit: he left Blizzard 2 months after it was acquired by Microsoft. He had been at Blizzard 12 years.

John left Blizzard in December 2023. Williams left WotC in April 2024. I'm sure he was in talks with WotC even before he left Blizzard. There may have been non-compete clauses that had to time out. I would bet that John Hight was already picked and the transition to him was in progress...

What? Venger, from head to toe, measures 260px on my screen. Warduke is at least 310, maybe 330, depending on how long his legs are meant to extend past the skeletons in front of him. Skylla is 250px tall. Not only are the three characters' depictions actually 3 different sizes, but we know...

God forbid they did acknowledge him.

There’s not enough depicted of the warrior in the original art so affirmatively say it’s gender, but I now can’t un-see her. All we get is a bare, toned leg, a shoulder and some long black hair. Last I checked women are slightly more likely to have all three of those things.

I dunno, that trimmer sounds pretty useful.
