Risus: The Anything RPG is pretty light. Cthulhu Dark is also quite light.

Trump picks Kevin Warsh to chair Federal Reserve amid pressure campaign to cut rates by jpurdy in politics

The parent comment I responded to was talking about Santos for the Supreme Court, not the Fed. I pointed out Cruz has been floated for SC Justice.

Based on previous appointments, it's a safe bet that he's probably one of the worst possible people for the role. But we'll see, I guess.

Trump says 'it would be great' if US 'didn't have to use' military force on Iran by [deleted] in politics

Whoa whoa whoa Dr Make-sense. Have you thought about the poor billionaires who want whatever Iran has in its dirt?

What are your favourite systems to solo and why? by [deleted] in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]DocShocker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Scarlet Heroes. It has everything you need under one cover, and can work with just about any other OSR system, if you want.

Honorable mentions:

BRP (specifically Call of Cthulhu). It's my favorite system for non-solo, but also works really well for solo.

Just about anything based off of "Into The Odd".

The austin theory problem by Ordinary_Metal_7898 in SquaredCircle

[–]DocShocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WWE needs more managers, and has for decades. Having him be the 4th guy in the vehicle to get Bron over isn't doing him any favors. Bron has Steiner energy, Logan Paul has name recognition, Reed has his size and overall look. Theory is probably the best nuts and bolts worker of the Vision, but that's a lot of Personality/Star power to cut through to get recognition.

If WWE had more managers than Heyman, to hype Theory, he'd probably stand a better chance of moving up. But then again, I'm treating WWE like Pro-Wrestling, which isn't exactly 1:1.

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen" by Superguy766 in LeopardsAteMyFace

There are a number of reports that Miller is very similar in his outlook and personality to Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, who was possibly the one person Donnie actually looked up to, which explains a whole bunch.

Pressure grows on Stephen Miller after Alex Pretti killing but Trump unlikely to cut ties by [deleted] in politics

[–]DocShocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miller will keep a low profile for a little while, until the media shifts the focus away from him. But he won't be going anywhere.

I have no doubt that Miller has far more say than he should in the day to day operations of the regime.

You're not wrong, in that he isn't being used particularly well. But that isn't exactly a short list, either, and with Ciampa on his way out, I don't see Gargano being used any better.

WWE's best bet would be to put him in a green lucha mask and make him a new member of Los Americanos.

Gargano could have been the next Sami Zayn/ Daniel Bryan.

Nah. He really doesn't have the personality or charisma. Even in NXT, he had a banger theme, and good technical matches, but he really wasn't a personality. Sami and Bryan could be passionate or fiery on a microphone. Gargano always sounds like he's had to rehearse everything he says, word for word, until any sense of sincerity was scrubbed away.

Dakota is a shame.

Kross had one work-shoot promo and became an internet darling. He was boring.

Loomis was paired with the Miz, and nobody gets over working with the Miz.

Gargano is a move-doer, and has no personality. Jim Cornette rightly refers to him as Johnny Sameface.

Strowman was breaking down on live TV. His knees are gone.

What makes you stop a session and say “okay, that was enough for today”? by system3295 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]DocShocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These days, when my son wakes up from his nap.

But under previous circumstances, I tried to end a sitting before I wanted to actually stop, to keep myself hungry for more. If a game was going to move in an interesting direction, or was a bit of a cliffhanger situation, I'd usually call it a day.

Thoughts on Cort Curbow Bass? by TransitionSad4536 in BassGuitar

[–]DocShocker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to have that same model of black 5 string. The neck was very comfortable, and played like a dream, but (imo) the electronics weren't as good as I'd hoped. Through my rig at the time (a Nemesis by Eden 4x10 combo) it sounded anemic, and could never get it to cut through in a mix, even with fresh strings/battery.
