90s? 70s?

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night (you take my self, you take my self control)
I'm living in the forest of my dream (you take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem (you take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it (you take my self, you take my self control)
This night will never go
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh...
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
Tomorrow never knows

Why should the LA basketball team change their name from the Lakers to the Beaches?


So when they are introduced, they can call call out, "WHAT'S UP, BEACHES?"

Wow. Are we really already back to "people who make art I personally deem problematic must be personally problematic"? I guess every horror writer and every mystery writer are all closeted serial killers. Better put them on a list so we can question them first if anything bad happens. Ugh.

Well I dunno. Piers Anthony wrote straight up pedo porn, so yeah sometimes putting them on a list might not be a bad idea.

Same. And exactly. He's the poster boy for white privilege and white rage. He's a male Karen with a bat then a bag of guns.
Seems like a very modern take on a movie that was meant to have a sympathetic protagonist who's unfairly chewed up by "sick" society.

Just read what the Washington Post had to say about it. Namely:
This is how Schumacher would like us to see D-FENS at this stage in the story -- as the vigilante superhero of our common frustrations. We're meant to feel a cheap cathartic kick every time Douglas's bafflingly well-conditioned Bernie Goetz clone gets a little back for all the times we've had a rude cab driver or convenience store cashier.

Just so we're on the same page of the artist's intent.

NGL, this thread is kind of a buzzkill right now.

Let's try more gifs.

When your golden cage is empty
And you've made your great escape,
They can do what they want with your flesh and your bones
But your soul they cannot take.

I'm not gonna be That Guy who starts yelling "I don't see the problem, so it's not really a problem," but I don't get this whole Martials vs. Spellcasters thing. There are lots of threads out there from people trying to fix some kind of power imbalance that they've observed between the two types of characters, so obviously it's an issue. It keeps coming up every few months.

I just feel a little bit left out, like everyone's laughing but I'm not in on the joke. I've played both martial characters and spellcasters, and each has been as underpowered or overpowered as I wanted them to be. I've never seen the problems that folks are trying to fix or the issues they are describing, in spite of countless people "volunteering" to "help me" understand them over the years. I'm starting to wonder if I really am doing it wrong.

I think its quite possible to get this and also to never see it. Its like the 5 min workday conundrum. Playstyle, frequency, and intensity all will impact how you play the game. The fact that you can not have these issues does not make them not issues is a real problem. Thats why I avoid saying things like "X edition fixed that" because its a subjective viewpoint. I really wish folks would lead with preferences instead of truths. YMMV
