I want to like Cool People who did Cool stuff, but the way information is presented by Margaret almost reads (listens?) like fiction storytelling. I appreciate the source quotes and media critiques of BtB which the few episodes of CPWDCS I’ve listened to didn’t really have.
Been going through Behind the Bastards and I enjoy it a lot. I started from the beginning which was excellent for understanding some of the memes and ongoing jokes.
I skip the “It Could Happen Here” episodes personally because they are very long and tend to bring me down, but they’re also really good and they really highlight the vulnerabilities of contemporary systems of government.
“an ungodly godly amount of furry porn”
Samurai came later and were better armored / also capable of dueling whereas hoplites were squad fighters and had, at best, iron armaments.
Why not use both? I still use Reddit for game communities that haven’t developed on lemmy. Right now Lemmy is useful for different things, though I hope it continues to grow.
I deleted the Reddit app so I’m forced to use the browser version of Reddit which is fucking awful and keeps my Reddit time to a minimum.
You right, this is enlightened centrist stuff lmao
This article seems like an argument for pure escapism without mentioning the word (I don’t remember seeing it as I read). The recommendation of stating to players before that you will be delving into explicit political themes before the campaign is a great suggestion, but I’ve seen the argument that everything is political so how do you escape that? He doesn’t really define politics besides the nebulous “culture war” or “politics.” Like wtf is the culture war and what’s supposed to be controversial if you don’t define it? I don’t know where this guys stand is on this culture war so what’s the default?
It reads as “I don’t want trans characters in my games.”
IMO, making all enemies pure evil and irredeemable or pure good is so boring. Being confronted with moral dilemmas is intellectually engaging and fun and being smart about introducing real life moral dilemmas or politics can make a campaign fantastic.
I got banned from a bunch of right wing subreddits (r/conservative, r/askthedonald etc.) because I either posted articles disproving whatever garbage the post was spewing, or called people idiots because: they would make up a bunch of claims, they didn’t post any sources, and a quick google search proved them wrong.
I got banned from a bunch of left wing subreddit (r/againsthatesubreddits etc) for posting in and calling right wing subreddit people stupid and stating that pitbulls are far more dangerous than the average dog type, with links.
I’d volunteer for this. Fuck those French knights
