What's the origin story of the group? They might be the Accursed, the Fallen, Nightkin, Flawed, Deviants, Defiant, Mockeries. In the pre-Xian Isles, multiple peoples predated human beings in the place, like the monstrous Fomorians; maybe they're a lingering culture?

I'd say something about being worth your salt, but I don't know the exchange rate with the Roman Empire to speak to it confidently.

It's fascinating to me that the Democratic Party "elites" pushing him to step down as the candidate ahead of the convention were fine with everything he'd been doing right up until the poll numbers scared them. Scruples? Principles? Core beliefs? Why have any of those, right, DNC?

Clerics of Tiamat don't know what to think. They don't have to give up treasure to bring some weakling back to life, sure, but the treasure has depreciated in value! Oh the hoardmanity!

I don't think it's canonical, but I really don't know the state of things with the Munsters these days. They've been rebooted and reattempted several times, but it doesn't seem like they've had anywhere near the lasting success of others like the Addams Family.

Marilyn Munster was a serial killer. If Grandpa needed a cadaver for his unholy experiments, Marilyn was his source. She had the normalflage to pass in the prevailing society, allowing her to hunt without being detected. And that perpetual smile on her face? Psycho.

Atomic Mass Games: We designed the Storm mini to look like she's defying gravity! Flying down on a lightning bolt! Me: Yeah, maybe down at an angle. AMG: No no, she's... floating straight down. Or up, she could be rising into the sky! Lot of other mini collectors: At an angle. Look. (x100 pics)

What do you mean by saying I didn't do anything today? I metabolized sugars, broke down proteins, exchanged carbon dioxide for oxygen, and regenerated multiple tissues that were scheduled for replacement! I obeyed the laws of physics by occupying space and moving mass towards entropy, thank you!

I've said before they want out of physical books because that's a roadblock to Game as a Service. Hasbro wants to make D&D a lifestyle and a subscription, not a one time purchase every edition.

I know it's silly to even hope for it, but wouldn't it be nice if businesses stopped looking for the swift grift and just tried making quality products or offering useful services? I know; capitalism doesn't work that way.

You want to see the business world turn against AI overnight? Make it do something valuable to people, like optimize ad blockers to stay ahead of corporations bypassing them. You'll never see a faster about face.

Ok, I know human beings aren't supposed to be able to breathe liquid water, but I just walked outside in the southeastern US and it felt like I was trying to drink the air. Poseidon just rang the doorbell asking to borrow a towel.

AMG: This mini of Shuri has panther gauntlets with separate lower jaws, so put those on. Me: Can they be posed open or closed? AMG: No, only closed. Me: Then why are they two pieces?! AMG: Please refer to our prior answer.

Ok, so to confirm, if there's a recurring organization meeting and thus no introductions, you don't bother turning the camera on? The people who confuse me are the ones who turn the camera on during every meeting, never present or speak, and just... have it on. Habitual? Extroverts spiraling? IDK

Question for the hive mind. Say you work for a national company that holds meetings via virtual room. There is no policy requiring you to turn on your camera. You're not presenting. Knowing all that, if you would turn on your camera, may I ask why? Why have your camera on when you don't need it on?

Can you imagine being a sitting SCOTUS "Justice" and deciding that Dump is the person you're willing to toss aside the Originalism facade for? Can you believe that Xians think that guy is the culmination of the plan of a deity worth worshipping? Being THAT gullible?

This closes a gap in GURPS rules in a much-needed way. If you're playing GURPS, you've probably wanted these rules before now.

If we're going to have an apocalypse, it needs to be a proper one. Not a fancier descent into misery like we've got now. I mean colors out of space, the dead rising from the grave, Yog-Sothoth in the sky, dogs and cats living together mass hysteria stuff. I want things to get Weird.

Liberals count on the system to work towards the direction of "good." Conservatives and by extension fascists will push the system to its breaking point, seeking to exercise power to their benefit with flagrant disregard for its consequences.

SCOTUS says Presidents enjoy absolute immunity for official acts. If liberals are serious in their belief that conservatives threaten American democracy, the legally-sound position would be to immediately remove any who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection, by force if necessary. They won't.

If the Supreme Court decides in favor of Trump’s claim that a sitting president has immunity from prosecution, the logical and legal thing for Biden to do would be to simply assassinate him before the election

It is the official position of the Supreme Court, based on their decision, that President Biden would be immune from prosecution if he removed Donald Trump, a convicted felon and aggressor against the peaceful transition of Presidential power, from consideration for the next election. Or from life.

Selling your soul isn't cool and amazing like heavy metal promised us. You know what selling your soul looks like? It looks like an average schmoe named Jimmy who has sacrificed everything good in life for money, who doesn't spend time with his girlfriend if it isn't generating content. Sad.

No no, of course the old laptop I failed back to when my desktop died has itself crashed and burned. It only makes sense for that to happen. Guess I'll see tomorrow how good I am at reinstalling via some MacGyver style cobbled together resources.
