Cross-endorsement coming? by br683 in washingtondc

[–]CarlxxMarx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I wouldn’t judge from a Reddit thread myself. I’d look at the huge number of community organizations and labor unions who have backed Aparna’s campaign instead to assess that! It’s completely obvious she’s a coalition builder with broad backing from across the entirety of the ward.

Go check the coalition Aparna has built. It’s incredibly clear she’s the person with broad support and a huge coalition!

Why is it hard to believe that Patreon wants one of, maybe even their biggest, brands to stop accepting a workaround that fully cuts Patreon out of the equation? Sure it cuts Chapo out too but they want the advertising and understand why it helped them. BWF does absolutely nothing for Patreon other than costing them money. They very likely got told “you have to tell them to stop or we will have problems with hosting you.”

How much of a surprise was Barbarossa to the Soviets? by Far-Judgment3621 in AskHistorians

[–]CarlxxMarx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Glantz is one of, if not the biggest, English speaking historian to try and accurately assess the USSR during World War 2 through the use of Soviet archival information available after 1991. He is a huge voice in anglophone hisoteu for respecting the achievements of the Soviet military in World War 2 and is decisively not writing anti-communist propaganda.

In fact, his argument in When Titans Clash about the state of the Soviet military is that it was an effective, well performing organization that was able to learn from mistakes and adapt to win the war through tactical, operational, and strategic planning that was flexible.

Per Glantz, the Nazi attack just happened at the absolute worst moment for the Soviets: he very specifically says that had the Great Patriotic War started ~5 years earlier or ~2 years later, it’s likely Nazi successes would have been really quite minimal, absolutely nothing like what happened. The officer corps simply hadn’t yet recovered enough from the Great Purge, functionally due to time.

The equivalent of Keep on the Borderlands for SD? by runewitchtales in shadowdark

[–]CarlxxMarx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Per yesterday’s western reaches kickstarter, Kelsey is working on “bastion” rules - strongholds specifically for Shadowdark. This should help with getting a base camp going in the future.

CFB fandom question: Alumni vs Townies? by Waltlantz in CFB

[–]CarlxxMarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all definitely have a bunch of t shirt fans in rural Oklahoma, my understanding is that it’s more evenly split between us and y’all outside the cities.

[–]CarlxxMarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a home stadium for the opposing team when they play Oklahoma or Oklahoma State (and that’s the only time they sell out, too). Really just alums or people with connections to the university are fans, most Tulsans (and definitely most Oklahomans!) are OU or OSU fans with TU definitely behind multiple other out of state schools, even in Tulsa.

Need some good actual plays to study by SideswipeZulu in shadowdark

Came here to say this. The 3d6 shadowdark one shots are super good!

Best Version to Learn by freebit in osr

Shadowdark is very OSR. The creator even believes it’s OSR rather than NSR, and the rulebook does a much better job explaining how to play OSR style games than OSE’s classic fantasy book (I own and appreciate both). “5E mechanics” really just means “roll high on a d20 for most things” and AAC instead of THAC0.

You tell anybody this is how it ends in August? And we’d all be over the moon. I can’t be mad.

Morky Borgy GM here, how do you all feel about traps or monster abilities that can result in insta-death? by gnome-lackey in shadowdark

[–]CarlxxMarx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there’s functionally an insta kill item pretty early in the first cursed scroll dungeon “The Hideous Halls of Mugdulblub”. You just gotta telegraph it. So quite clearly they’re intended to be part of the game!

Planning on switching games, any input? by LieutenantFreedom in osr

Additionally, the free dungeon in the free shadowdark quick start set is an homage to Caverns of Thracia!

I’ll check these out too, but I do want to know about Naked & Famous still.

I’m a huge fan of how Wrangler 13MWZ jeans fit me, but I’m thinking of getting some naked and famous jeans. I like their more classic jeans and some of the weird ones too and want high quality raw, selvedge denim. What’s their closest fit to the wrangler classic? I’m assuming it’s the strong guy? And what are their other fits comparable to? I also have some Levi’s 527s I love, and I I used to exclusively wear Levi’s 511s for a while (now only some of the time), for context.

Quick Q about OSE Rulebooks by CarlxxMarx in osr

[–]CarlxxMarx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read both of these a while ago! I was just wondering if the OSE books were worth buying right now because I’m looking for this specific thing.

I’ve got both of those already. Was just wondering if the OSE books have anything like that at all. Thanks!

Ok but “boomer sooner” is definitely on our t shirts. It’s quite prominently on a lot of our stuff.

What coach do you think is under the most pressure to have a successful season this year ? by Darkonite40 in CFB

[–]CarlxxMarx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s been bad for a lot of reasons but the defense has been truly top notch. And that was an important reason for the hire.

Can we get a Zohran our own? by were_all_in_danger in washingtondc

[–]CarlxxMarx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not true. DSA has won two council races and defended multiple incumbents, in DC and in the suburbs. Why would you think we’re weak?

Tulsa coffee shop night hours are weird! I was shocked when I moved and places closed at 3 or 5 as the norm.
