It's not regular spam, imho, it's a bot attack.

Regular spam is by bots these days, btw. Hand a bot a list of sites, and let it go

When I used to be a mod on a chainmail forum, I had the owners add certain words to the banned word filters. The idiots programming the bots were using non English settings, on an English language forum, so it automatically blocked the bot posts without having any effect on legitimate posters.

So, I've talked about how The Fast and The Furious film franchise (at least by Fast Five) is the perfect Dungeons & Dragons film series. But what would the perfect D&D tv show look like?

You'd want it to mirror a long-running campaign. So you'd start out small scale with inexperienced heroes. Maybe they start out with death of one of the PC's friends. The circumstances are mysterious, and several authority figures seem not only not interested in digging deeper but actively discourage the PCs from doing so themselves. They solve that case, and things seem resolved... but then a person close to one of the PCs is placed in mortal danger. A new villain has appeared. But so does a mysterious benefactor who offers to take the PCs under his wing, but his offers may lead down a road to darkness. The new killer is unmasked... it's a PC's family member! Things seem resolved... but that benefactor turns out to some evil schemes of his own! He gains the trust of the city, turns it against the PCs, splits them apart, maybe even gets one jailed and/or exiled. As this new villain's plans unfold, several cults rise up to prey on the fringes of the society... is the villain behind one or more of them? Ultimately, the villain is subdued and jailed, and things seem resolved... and the heroes are now free to pursue their own individual goals. But uh-oh, one of them accidentally uncovers an ancient conspiracy, and the PCs must come together again to save them.

Threats continue to escalate; maybe there's a time skip, and the heroes go off but are called back to save the city again in its greatest hour of need. That same benefactor/villain is back again and up to no good. By now the PCs are so powerful they're practically superheroes, and the threats they face are suitably supernatural and multiversal in nature. Time travel, plane hopping, alternate dimensions, a meteor threatens to destroy the planet. Things escalate until they can escalate no further and the city is freed from danger once and for all, and the heroes form not just a found family but a full blown polycule. Hey, it's D&D in the 2020's, deal with it.

What I'm saying is, Riverdale is the perfect Dungeons & Dragons TV show. In this essay I will...

My man, get therapy. It's going to be far more beneficial to you than whatever you are doing now, and have been doing for well over a decade.
