haha I get that joke, I’m special and smart

fuck you I’m callin the cops

you should explode them instead

Yeah? I studied under a . . . Very clever man, who loved bringing up a case here, where several high school kids sued a government minister to force the minister for the environment to consider future generations in their decisions. They won! And then were overturned in a higher court.

And my incredibly clever professor couldn’t shut the fuck up about how that was proof that it’s good we live in a “democracy”, unlike china.

I was studying environment science.

Dude was also a smarmy shitty teacher but hey, who’s asking…

Well, yeah. Gygax fucking sucked ass. I certainly wasn’t trying to say he was GOOD, he ok’d the dark elf bullshit.

As far as I can tell none of the romance options are limited by gender, certainly my (girl) tav romanced shadowheart no problems whatsoever. There are also two women who, if you save both of them at various points, show up later in the game as a couple. You can also meet a trans woman that shadowheart knew as a kid before her transition, and she’s voiced by a trans actor (Abigail Thorne) iirc, and from what I recall handled pretty well. I don’t think you’re ambushed into the romance stuff but tbqh I quite like that sorta thing so am perhaps not the best judge. Can’t remember much else but it seems relatively cool as big budget games go.

yes, it’s fucked up. I was at a convention shortly after Gary gygax died and they held a hastily-assembled panel and someone pointed out that in fact it’s really messed up that someone at some point has to have said “let’s make a race of elves who are evil, they can have black skin”, like WHAT. The biologist in me wants to point out that most things that live underground are pale so they even had to defy reality to make them black.

It’s one of the reasons I think it’s good that newer editions of d&d are moving away from calling them “races” in favour of “species”. Plenty of the d&d “races” are way more distinct than you’d expect human groups to be anyway.

Ah, that’s that good shit. All the usual misgivings about propaganda of the deed on a strategic/tactical level but still good to see someone striking back. Make fascists afraid again.

Good stuff! Still don’t love propaganda of the deed but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t feel good when someone hits back at these soulless freaks.

Of course they will, but when the ammo is literally cheering on antisemitic violence I would still rather not give it to them.

I’m… Gonna hold off on forming an opinion on this one, because there absolutely still are actual neonazis out there and they fucking LOVE co-opting pro-palestinian causes. Sure, the pro-israel crowd are going to call it antisemitic either way, but if they’re right this time I don’t want to be on the wrong side/give them ammo. As long as we don’t cheer on actual antisemitism it’s easy for thoughtful people to see through their propaganda but I feel like cheering on actual neonazi violence really erodes good faith. Also I just don’t want to be saying a literal neonazi attack is good (call me crazy). It’s easy to think antisemitism is over/superseded by islamophobia but the tree of life shooting wasn’t that long ago.

The musical style from the cantina scene in the first star wars is called “jizz wailing”

Iirc openttd includes a full set of playable content. Not familiar with the original so I don’t know if it’s just straight up the original game, but it’s playable without access to original files.

About wanting death and destruction, sure. But pretending that a milquetoast “please stop being obvious about the genocide” is siding with Hamas is still imo willful stupidity.

This has to start being too fucking obvious eventually, right? Sooner or later they will have to concede what Netanyahu is up to here?! The wilful stupidity of it is so exhausting.

Nah, they’ll still use out of context clips. The fash needs to be literally, and liberally, smeared with big stinky turds at all times.

please, President xi, my people cry out for freedom

They never were, they’ve always been a completely blatant breach of copyright laws. Sucks:(

Sure, that’s why I think it’s good he got cancer and why op also thinks it’s good. Doesn’t explain why taunting a friend about it is a good idea though.

Nah, cancer also kills cool people. I’m critical of that.
