The Gaming Den

RIP me

You have to really torture that Arabic to turn a sentence about lying with his wife under her blankets to one about wearing her garments. More importantly, why the fuck is that presented as some kind of gotcha to begin with. This is chick tract level nonsense.

Black leaf, no!

lol

Hey deaddm, are you going to clarify which pre-2020 wildfires you meant, or did you straight up forget that California elected Kamala Harris to the Senate in 2016 when Sen Boxer retired? Senator Landrieu showed up at the Senate, to meetings with the President, and on television, to advocate for her ...

"Half left" is a really stupid name for a direction. Let's see where it leads.

Does anyone know where Barbara Boxer (CA Senator) was during the California wildfires? Where was Mary Landrieu (LA Senator) during Katrina? Weird how you decided to pick two women here. Anyways you're going to have to be more specific. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_California_wildfires Ca...

It's pretty stupid to have players tell a story that is ultimately meaningless. And that's true BOTH when the setting can't change and when it's constantly changing. If you can't found a kingdom or overthrow the empire or even rebuild a town, then you're not a hero, you're just a tourist. You get to...

Mitch is literally 100% personally responsible for the vote being delayed until Trump was out of office. That's his excuse because he wanted it to be. Take it away and he would absolutely find, or create, something else.

Fuck no, it doesn't. Amending the constitution requires 2/3 of both the House and the Senate, and 3/4 of the states. It's a nonstarter.

The order: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/modernizing-regulatory-review/ the context: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-order-progressive-regulation_n_6009dabec5b6efae63002e20 Biden is overhauling regulatory review! There's a lot of good changes, but in p...

Biden is also firing some absolute shitbags (like the NLRB lawyer) who would normally expect to serve out the remainder of their term. Extremely good riddance, and a genuine, if small, sign that he's willing to ignore norms in favor of taking power away from Republicans.

Yes.

I'm not clear how this is supposed to change anything. Are we assuming that they're any more/less successful long term because of this? Or that Germany somehow calls in the favor sometime between the 1917 revolution and the 1918 defeat of the Kaiser--beyond Russia's exit from WWI and signing a treat...

The cool thing about fascists is that when they start doing political violence and it doesn't work, they stop immediately and never do it again.

Trump isn't particularly serious about stealing the election. He is just posturing. And the other Republicans don't really want or need for him to win, they've got what they want. This is a terrible take. We all know that Trump is literally incapable of the discipline and self-reflection necessary ...

2) "getting Vaccines out to everyone" is exactly what Trump was doing and would have done, hence "Trump but with masks" because the funding for vaccines already came in the COVID bills that Trump signed and people are already getting the vaccine right now under Trump. The distri...

This is an excellent illustration of how this sort of point buy system not only doesn't work, but can never work. There's no fair price for an ability that may or may not overlap and/or synergize with your other abilities.

1) Biden claims that he's in talks with high level Republicans and they're definitely going to work with him on infrastructure etc etc, they just need 6-8 months. So we're back to Charlie Brown and the football. 2) Biden is actually complaining about lack of cooperation from Trump/White House/DoD wh...

I don't care which option we choose here, but I'd really like to see them side-by-side when we're done with the book.

Last time it was an outhouse, but I like the sound of "if you haven't already done so". Hut again!

"nothing personnel, kid," the white-haired Ugarith whispers grandly in your ear

No reason to try our luck against a certified Mall Ninja. Follow.

Waiting seems like an invitation for the guard to wake up, or for someone else to arrive. One vote to creep up and attack now.

The majority of American COVID deaths will be people who have not gotten sick yet.

"people can die in one hit" tends to play poorly at the table, where there's no narrative protection for the protagonists. if you want to avoid kiting, then it seems like you need a big focus on battlefield control effects. The Wizard has to stand still the whole fight, but she can throw d...

If we had maximum Luck, then I'd say build a raft. But since our Luck is middling, I'll vote for the hills.
