The Gaming Den

This is interesting https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/04/health/france-coronavirus-december-death-intl/index.html If there is any more to this, I can't help but wonder how long until the two-minutes hate gets directed away from bat-eaters and towards frog eaters. Wow. If you read the source piece, a dude...

So while writing societal write-ups about creature types I did a writeup of each type amongst the Capitalist/Fuedal/Wild/Socialist factions and doing so has led me to this weird little conspiracy theory about Giants. I was writing the different racial capitalist factions and basically if you ask wh...

https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/05/cdc-guide-to-reopening-was-trashed-by-the-trump-admin-it-just-leaked/ According to unnamed sources close to the administration who spoke with the AP, the White House has refrained from offering such specifics because different areas of the country have varying...

To be fair, how often do people get the luxury of turning down game offers? No games are better than bad games, but it's hard to realize that a game's going to be bad until you play it. I would have to really hate a system to just not play it at all. Even with games I don't like, I can still fuck a...

That video is unfortunately burned in my brain, I will never not think of that when I see the name "Mearls". I...STILL can't believe that video

If you're one of the people that's at less than 100% of your pay with the extra $600/week, you weren't doing badly before you lost your job. Keep in mind, that's in addition to the 'base unemployment' you're eligible for (usually 50% your regular work job, but sometimes more). $1200/week is equival...

Whether a person agrees with RP's assessment or Kaelik's assessment of what Cuomo said, it's very clear that Cuomo is a shitheel with no empathy for those struggling during these insane times. Fuck that guy and anyone who says we should support him.

With all the bullshit "Free XX" stuff from Trump and the "movements" to open states up, it seems there is/was a massive astroturfing campaign to build support for these movements. So powerful forces are sowing chaos and unrest in a country wracked by a pandemic. And Trump et al ...

Is it legal for a state to block people from another state? Ie: Can Washington say that people from South Dakota can't come here? IANAL, but I think there's a freedom of movement clause somewhere in the Constitution (quick google shows it's part of the Privileges and Immunities Clause). So unless t...

Food riots. It is only a matter of time until the 50~74% of americans living paycheck to paycheck in january 2020, the 50% of americans with less than 400$ in savings, and the 30% of americans with ZERO savings run out of money. And the system that compels your labor for wages to exchange for food ...

As an added bonus: Trump wants to sign the stimulus checks! (But he can't because the President isn't a signer on the US Treasury, so he's putting his signature in the memo line instead.) And it's being forecast that this will delay the checks... I feel the same way about this (and every other thin...

Can't believe the Dirge Singer doesn't have an ability called Danse Macabre

Specifically regarding magic items in Earthdawn, they get more powerful as the character using them unlocks more of the item's story. Something that starts out as a +1 sword can become a crazy powerful artifact if the character does the right things. One item (a bow) required the character to give ...

Yeah, this is a good point, I've been pooping at home alot more rather than at work. Also I've found I need alot more coffee at home, as I'm not able to drink the (free) coffee at work

Reporters and news networks are starting to skip Trump's daily coronavirus briefings Two thoughts came to me about this: 1. How crazy is it that reporters are choosing to not cover the US president during a global pandemic? What timeline is this? 2. I predict this will be used to cancel briefings o...

Coronavirus stimulus package also includes yet another tax break for the 1%, in the form of expanding tax breaks for depreciation of real estate.
It benefits those making over $500k...and is retroactive to 2018 and 2019...

"Former Sec. State John Kerry tweets that GOP Congressman Thomas Massie has “tested positive for being an asshole” after he pledges to delay COVID-19 relief bill"

Found this from reddit, thought it was helpful in visualizing the numbers of the US relief package:

China is closing its borders to all foreigners* starting March 28 for an indeterminate amount of time

I vaguely remember my group trying a gaming session of CP20xx(?), and we had no idea what we were supposed to do. Partly a failure of imagination (in my defense we were very young) but also it just wasn't clear what you do in a game of CP. Games like D&D and Shadowrun were easier to get into as ...
