The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Gotta love how each generation of gamer thinks they invented the “cutting edge” of the hobby. Nah. Sorry. But almost as long as RPGs have existed people have been using literary, theatrical, and cinematic techniques in their games. No, sorry, your hero did not deliver that thing unto the RPG masses. Go read an RPG from before 2000. Those “new” techniques you think were invented in 2000 were already in RPGs from at least 1987, if not way earlier. Your hero “forgot” to cite his sources, that’s all.

I have not, I have enough trouble sleeping.

Richard Rohmer is a retired Major General (cue "The Pirates of Penzance"). Published during the "Energy Crisis" of the 1970s. The United States decides that it's going to annex Canada for our oil reserves. President figures it will basically take a weekend and they'll be unopposed. There's a scene in which Hercules aircraft start landing at Toronto International Airport to drop troops and fighting vehicles only to get blown to bits, by surface to surface missiles from launchers in the old Terminal 1 parking lot above the terminal, upon landing. I read this book while working as the Lead Hand (parking attendant supervisor) in that very parking lot

Apparently nothing is so upsetting as being told you can't go pick a fight with someone.

I'm talking about one of my two cats, obviously.

Dear self,

Maybe don't get drawn into a debate about how nobody owes people a debate ><

I certainly am not going to post in the thread that is total garbage. The original post is garbage. The responses are certainly garbage. I have neither the time nor the patience to partake in some excavation of a landfill of a thread like I was Don Delilo-turned-Snarf Zagyg.
