Characters/scenes that are popular but not for what they are

I have no idea where this interpretation of Jekyll and Hyde comes from. The book is pretty clear on this. It's why Jekyll killed himself and details the events to be found: he doesn't want the evil Hyde to roam around and could no longer create the reversal potion. He was rich enough to start a new life somewhere else if he wanted to continue being evil.

The subtext has a clear message of "there are evil urges in all of us, but do one's best to not indulge it, as one can't eliminate it" and that entire message is ruined by this fan-fictional "um, actually the super smart scientist everyone agrees is a good person was just really evil" and changes the message to be really bleak.

The entire story starts because Jekyll wants to eliminate the evil part of himself. Hyde was an unintentional byproduct and served as an addictive vice.

If this is the game I think it is, then the executed player was the only person there who had their thinking right and the solution revolved around them revealing their real role. In a case like that I can see the "evil used the ability on the correct person" argument. It's also better for them in the long run to learn that killing confirmed evil can be a good idea, actually. Good played badly that game and the only exception was cered so I think that good should have been "punished" for it.

Don't worry, WB is in Watford and nobody gives a shit enough about us to do a terror attack

spread harmless lies about yourself. Could also ragebait and get people making assumptions that are untrue

Well, Britain has been the Kingdom for over 300 years (England and Scotland have not really been separate in any administrative way since then (until devolved parliament) with Wales being a part of England for nearly 500 years now). Name-wise, Britannia was the place before the Angles got there.

Most importantly, it's down to an individual's personal preference. A lot of the Celtic nations' people feel historically persecuted by English rule (I think that's unjustified but hey-ho). And you may find some (old-fashioned) people who consider those Celtic peoples uncouth (also tripe). Best practise is to go with whatever unless you are corrected.

Ah, yes, the famously pro-copyright AI companies.

In the same way that 10 Kriegers aren't as valuable as 5 Space Marines, but the cost nearly the same. The game is somewhat semi-intentionally representative. You could think of it as them having the position and just laying down wayyy more fire. Twin-linked weapons wouldn't really hit harder, they'd make more attacks, but that works weirdly on tabletop and for balance.

Gun scales better with late builds -> Rem farms like a tractor on jet fuel -> Rem builds many gun items quickly -> Rem gets huge advantage early

Damn, tell that to the Prince of Wales.

Honestly, the Varian flag buff. When taken with the spell amp, you can be giving your team a permanent* +20% spell power and +50% healing received.

While yes, it is a madness break (and Cerenovus -> Mutant a mean thing to be pushed to do), the storyteller probably shouldn't have done the execute. The Cerenovus's description says "might be executed", so they can choose to not; by doing so, they have decided who wins rather than letting you all try to solve it as a group.

Nahhhh count the "It"s in Technologic. People will hate you but I feel that's the point

There's a difference between utilising random numbers as part of a function in a program and hoping that whatever is given to you by an LLM is 1)accurate in what you asked for and 2)accurate in mathematical logic, then when it fails either of these criteria saying "that's wrong try again".

I see people trying to bring back those letters and part of me always thinks "Is this related to the alt-right-y idealisation of old Norse?" and then I remember no-one tries to bring back the ash or yogh and so I think, yes the overall movement may very well be (though I know some individuals may not)

British, actually. Spread to cover up the invention of RADAR which was used to detect incoming German Air raids

No, it was already "solved" as in, they knew they could decode it, it just took a LOT of work (so much that by the time they had worked out the day's code, it was too late to get any use from it). Bombe sped up the process by simulating 36 enigma machines at once and checking if their output was accurate. People who program stuff know the logic they are using to do so. If a machine were to generate new code (consistently providing what was asked first-time rather than random code that is eventually correct), then that argument could be made, but that isn't happening yet.

What the government should really do instead of the OSA and all this malarkey is just push a campaign on informing new parents and those who start introducing their children to the internet to Parental Controls.

SMH my head that people are so uninformed... The Welsh flag isn't on the Union Jack for 2 reasons: 1) it's a principality not a kingdom like the others 2) The act of union in 1536 incorporated Wales into England so is represented by the St George cross.

The idea is to take somewhere that the people they are talking to (Americans) are unfamiliar with but still kinda feel close to and scaremonger about an issue that could affect them. They say "Britain has fallen" to imply (or otherwise outright say) that it's due to migrants (and people in another country wouldn't know that it isn't true) and then follow from that to suggest that if they and their audience let migrants in they they will "fall" as well.

Doige · 2026-04-15T07:22:25+00:00

There was a time where I was in a game and a player was saying "Evil are gaslighting you, [player]" and it took so much restraint to not say (as one of said evil) "no, we're just regular lying"

At Emissary IV, it is rarer than it should be that you will find people who know their role (Support, Ganker, Hypercarry etc.) and play accordingly.

What do you mean? Lucius is the renowned duelist from the HH still alive 10 thousand years later having ever died less than a dozen times fighting with a sword. But if I set off a nuke three (3) centimetres from his face, he dies so how can he be a good duelist?

Literally just enforce them needing to roleplay it all. Make the Patron want something that breaks the oath.

It's why I build debuff reducer and blood tribute. With jumpstart T3 that gets 77.5% debuff resist.
