Ah. So your cool plan is to keep calling me a nazi. No reason to continue talking then.

I have not watched the legal eagle video but longes is incorrect about some facts and/or applying a very double standard. The idea that Rosenbaum's threats to a third party that Rittenhouse never heard would deprive him of self defense for "premeditation" doesn't make a lot of sense. (The...

So what are peoples thoughts on legal eagles analysis of the verdict? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR-hhat34LI He's misrepresenting some of the events: "Gun that crossed state lines" - no. "Rittenhouse's self-serving testimony against Rosenbaum" - he's ignoring that Richie Mc...

Spencer was on top of the world, then someone punched him, now he's bankrupt and almost guaranteed to lose his court case. Rittenhouse committed multiple murders, didn't get punched, and walked. If that isn't proof that you should always punch Nazis, I don't know what is. Rittenhouse got hit in the...

THIS is the reason I don't care for historic fantasy games. Exactly this. History is ass. Also, OP's question is a bit of an oxymoron, like "how do I avoid triggering a survivor while exposing them to triggering events?" Ok, I think we all agree Western's core is a murderhobo protagonist ...

I think it's unsurprising that very few people's villain fantasies involve that kind of petty evil. If you're inclined to be a Biff Tannen or a Dolores Umbridge, you can just do it, you don't need an elaborate fantasy game. I'm not just talking about pettiness, but direct personal cruelty. People m...

Re: Alignment What I determined for myself after play "Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous" videogame and engaging in discussions of it is this: people who claim that they want to play Evil characters tend to be incredibly squeamish about actually being evil and cruel. People want to be nic...

Next, is the artifact the Lich had and gives a pretty lengthy list of perks. You do have to tear out one of your eyes to use it, but the benefits are nice. True Seeing once a day as a free action, Greater Scrying 3/day, Planar Binding once per week (Abaddon natives only, like the Soul Eaters the pa...

Oh sure, when I said "blame Tolkien" I was being a bit tongue in cheek. It's not personally his fault that people forget he was a professor of languages (twice) or that that might be an important factor in creating languages. If there were to content themselves with aiming lower (much low...

I might be remembering it incorrectly, or remembering correctly something written by someone who was incorrect, but didn't orcs have different orc languages, but spoke Westron as well so different groups of orcs could communicate? Kinda. Orcs and the Black Speech. Orc is the form of the name that o...

I'm willing to point finger at surface reading of Lord of the Rings as a big culprit for "common/elven/orc languages". The framing device of LotR is that we are reading a book reading in-universe by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam, and translated to us into English by Tolkien. And that translation o...

Dementation is now a single alternate Dominate power. You give up the most iconic Dominate power - Mesmerize - to get it, and it sucks even more than oWoD Dementation. Roll dice to drain part of the target's willpower, who cares. Swing and a miss. Dementation is arguably one of the most powerful di...

Game industry has existed outside the US and Japan for as long as computers have existed. There are European companies with long and storied histories and games that have been popular and influential in their regions. Owlcat Studios, which made Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, mostly consists o...

In the words of Dracula: "It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh." Alas, my original account got lost. Anyway. Edit: I should point out that Achilli has some association with the brand still. They trot him out for some videos and I think he occasionally runs a streamed chro...
