[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7690645, member: 6704184"] If it even comes to mind at all. I mean, they definitely have bigger fish to fry. And it was a while ago. And it wasn't an important moment in anyone's life. I'm not sure how THACO isn't objectively bad. That's not clickbaity misrepresentation, that's literally just a reasonable assertion. I mean it might be [I]subjectively[/I] not bad, in that it's arguably better than referencing multiple tables or whatever, but the extra complexity doesn't serve any useful purpose, and turned people off the game, because there are just easier ways to enjoy some time with friends, and some groups try to introduce the mechanics before introducing what's cool about roleplaying games, and the system it was replaced with accomplishes all the same goals, but does so more efficiently, while being easier to teach, since it is almost literally as straightforward and simple, yet effective, as such a system can be. /rant sorry, but sometimes even things we enjoy or enjoyed are just objectively less good than other similar things. Anyway, this is getting nowhere. Those of us who never saw any inconsistency in them not mentioning or dealing with the kiss aren't going to suddenly see one now, and vise versa. ALso, that article is legitimately fracking [I]terrible![/I] Half of the points rely on misunderstandings of obvious things about the movie, and the rest are [I]at least[/I] a stretch. [/QUOTE]
