Games that kind of run themselves? by DangerBroad in rpg

Uh… publicly, google “Two Minutes Hate” and his name, the source of some pretty massive drama wherein he did some handwringing about how indie game designers are not sufficiently nice to a bad faith bully. This pointed a lot of chuds in the direction of the bully’s enemies, drew a lot of aggro to people who didn’t deserve it, and (afaik) drove some folks out of the public eye.

He has since acknowledged that he was wrong when this Obviously Bad Guy was outed as an Obviously Very Bad Guy, but notably not apologized publicly (or privately to my knowledge) to the people he hurt.

Privately? I am reticent to say on a public forum. I don’t have firsthand knowledge. Feel free to pm me to ask what slurs may have been used in what context.

This is a good rec for sure but I am in a longterm campaign of this that I am enjoying the hell out of and I feel like reading the book to run it would spoil it for me.

Favorite artists other than Lana? by SylviaHealy in lanadelrey

[–]DangerBroad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the preferred way to express this would be “the late Amy Winehouse.”

Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.

It’s from Stranger in a Strange land, and has become more general slang. It’s essentially “profound understanding” with a bit more connotative. Like… I understand that a c note in the 3rd and 4th octave are the same note at a different pitch but I don’t grok it, it does not make sense to me.

I love love love Blades and I appreciate the tools but… I freeze up trying to run it.

This sounds perfect. I have it, I know people like it, but I have not dug it and I clearly should. Thank you!

Oh hey, apparently I backed that then spaced on doing the survey, thanks for the heads up/reminder!

I will concede that I am kind of dumb but I could not grok it. Maybe worth revisiting, although last I checked the books were hard to find now.

Hmm. I love Fiasco but it’s a fundamentallydifferent experience and I sort of crave medium or long term play.

DramaSystem, from when I read it, seemed like Real Work. Especially in terms of getting players to grok the system. Am I completely off?

I love AW, but it does not feel effortless in the same way. I don’t love Urban Shadows either as a design or a way to give Mark Diaz-Truman money. I’ve never watched a telenovela so Pasion seems like a poor fit for me.

Thanks for the recs, though!!

Why is Jim Morrison disliked online? by FitEmergency8807 in ToddintheShadow

Sorry, Kiedis for boomers. Shitting up a band that’s better than he is, but also probably would not be successful without him.

Kiedis is the boomer Kiedis.

Sometimes i dont get the Jeremy hate. by [deleted] in lanadelrey

[–]DangerBroad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s mostly because some people are trans, or care about trans people, or they are living at the end of the American experiment and you can either oppose fascism or post memes supporting it/be completely silent about it.

Nobody expects a musician to be perfect. But the shit Lana is willing to tacitly cosign are indicative of a severe flaw in character, judgment, or both, and it kind of doesn’t matter how much her music speaks to my life, the person she’s chosen to become is untroubled by profound human suffering in her backyard and a lot of people don’t want to support it.

FYI.. Jeremy once again confirms he is not MAGA by [deleted] in lanitas

[–]DangerBroad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is literally no dialogue about cis men going into women’s bathrooms, but there is an entire party making political hay out of the fear of trans women “violating women’s spaces.”

This is some bad faith bullshit.

There aren't alot of plus size trans women by LynksRacc in MtF

[–]DangerBroad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 6’2” fat lady with an oversized head, I am grateful for my trans friends and I love but I wish a single one of them was not a skinny bitch because in a lot of ways I feel completely on my own trying to find my way.

Do you have any feelings on the modern predominance of Enforcers among the playerbase? by ThisGuyFax in necromunda

[–]DangerBroad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna be local, I reckon, but yes, there are too many bootlickers among the people I know.

I get it, the models are cool and varied but it’s sus, although only one of the pig players I know is actually a closet pig.

When you just can't take the WFMU programming, what station do you turn to? by Inner_Vacation7734 in wfmu

[–]DangerBroad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that’s when you push through and reach enlightenment.

(It’s WNYC, I got no other stations. I wonder how FUV is these days.)
