  • You sound like you'd be a blast to hang out with. I mean that genuinely.

  • Brennan Lee Mulligan and, by extension, Sam Reich.

    edit: to be fair, a lot of the Dropout cast seem like pretty great human beings as well (Emily Axford comes to mind, plus she frequently played opposite Adam Conover in the series Adam Ruins Everything which is both entertaining and horrible)

  • I'd love to be proven wrong (because he had a pretty big impact on my worldview in my mid 20s and he's got a wonderful singing voice), but the last I heard of Daniel he had been accused of grooming. (Warning Reddit link, but I did find a host of articles by searching "dan avidan controversy" in case you don't want to give Reddit traffic).

    Sorry. Like I said, I'd love to be proven wrong. He seemed like a really cool guy.

  • I had a really neat idea about playing a changeling bladesinger who most likely pretended to be elven to learn the art, although I did have a not-quite-RAW idea about the old switched-at-birth changeling myth, where his elven "parents" would have taught him before he slipped up and they realized what he was.

    He was actually three characters in one: a mostly nondescript human "bard", spinning extremely tall tales about a mysterious elven bladesinger who doled out vigilante justice at night (also the changeling), and the changeling himself, who hated the way people looked at his true form, would only have revealed it to the party if he had no other choice, and really just wanted to be a hero in a group of adventurers, doing the kind of stuff he made up and sang about in taverns.

    I came up with this concept a few years ago, but even before COVID I was kind of my group's forever DM, so even if I ended up at a gaming table again soon I probably wouldn't get to play it, so if you like it, feel free to use it. You cannot steal what is gifted!

  • Ah, yes. This thing is horrible, maybe, but what about this other thing?

    What a great argument. If only there were some kind of term for it.

  • This has been my past four or five weekends. Can't make myself do anything. It's maddening.

  • Kids can be surprisingly coordinated. I remember one early Christmas morning, when my sister and I had gotten up while it was still dark out, and I asked her to toss me the flashlight.

    The next thing I saw was a giant blue Maglite flying end over end towards my face. Luckily the impact only cut my lip, but man that was a scary few seconds.

  • Or they lack a shred of empathy and/or imagination.

    I've never lived in a country going through civil war, but I don't have to do that to tell you that it's not something I want ever.

  • Well, that's stuck in my head now. Time to go find the Metallica cover, if they haven't scrubbed it from the Internet.

  • And then Steve does Up+B in the wrong direction and sails off the stage.

  • Forced Feminization is a type of kink wherein a person, typically AMAB, is coerced in some way (physically forced or blackmailed) to adopt feminine behaviors. This typically includes wearing feminine clothing, adopting a feminine tone of voice, taking the bottom role in sex (typically regarded as a "feminine" trait). They are also typically referred to as a girl or woman during this act. Depending on the severity of the kink, it may end with the person becoming convinced that they are feminine and belong that way.

    See also: gender bender, mind break, bimboification

    (No judgement on people who are into this. I tried to present it as neutrally as possible)

    ... So if you take the D off of the end of "forced" it becomes "force" and a lot of the Jedi powers are called "Force ______" (e.g. Force Leap for when they do the super jump)

  • Now, listen, I don't... because, folks, have you heard, I don't know if you'd, maybe you hadn't heard this one. But people are saying, good people, saying he's building a robot. You know, like King Kong, a real.. it's yuuge, folks, really big. And it's coming out of your tax dollars. Now I don't know if.. because when I was telling Valerie about this, because it's really gotten to the point, you know, you walk down the street and they've got his face just posted up everywhere, Obama's.. sad. Very sad, folks, and it's just the beginning, won't be long before they're breaking out the prayer mats in elementary schools, folks, and I could have told you that fifteen years ago, that we'd get to this point, and now they have this giant robot.. well, maybe we'll have to get one for me, right folks? Only we'll make it run on coal, folks, clean burning coal, get some good hardworking Americans to keep their jobs, and we can have it up at the border - boy, that'll keep them back in their country, folks, and they can keep lying and stealing and raping over there, keep it outta the States. I said we should get a giant robot, I told John Kelly - crooked John Kelly, he's just no good, and Hilary and Obama and they're just, they're out to get me and you gotta put a stop to it.

  • Well, he does seem to be incapable of calming them.

  • When I was younger, I'd be mortified. Now? "If into the archives you go, only pain will you find." You didn't have to look, so that's on you, my dude.

  • He didn't even die there, if you can believe it. Though he is catatonic and carried home by Jean Grey. This is one of the few comic books I actually had.

    Immediately after this, Xavier gets pissed and completely mind-wipes Erik, something he promised he'd never do. This causes a part of his psyche to splinter off, eventually kidnap Franklin Richards, and merge with him to become Onslaught.

    Then an amnesiac, de-aged Magneto shows up to help the X-Men fight Onslaught.

    Comics are wild, man.

  • Ah, Sierra. The game company almost singlehandedly responsible for creating a generation of masochists.

    You're still right.

  • sorry

  • Here

    In hindsight, I wish I had better to offer than an Imgur album, but the tl;dr version is he allegedly sent dick pics to a 12 year old shortly before Loss was posted. Some more conspiracy minded folks believe that it may have been a smokescreen to distract from his real life actions, but I don't have any proof of that and I'd personally like to believe he isn't that heinous.

  • sorry

  • While I will agree that a miscarriage is tragedy and I feel for his wife, Tom Broccoli doesn't deserve your sympathy, friend.
