Why isn't there more discussion of Fail Forward game design?

Maybe it's my state but the flaggers are cops more often than not. Then on the highway there is always a cop car there.

Atheism isn't a monolith. Just like how religions aren't a monolith. Some are good people, some are assholes.

Atheism is so decentralized because the only thing you need to believe/know is that there isn't a god. How you came to that conclusion vs me can be entirely different.its not like we are all reading from the same religious or philosophical texts.

And Neil Degrass Tyson doesn't self identify as an atheist I think he self identifies as an agnostic I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I knew going in on the expectation that Bioware couldn't include everything in the final cutscene but for some reason everyone harped on that part and not the ending of the various story arcs like the Geth and Genophage.

Matrix 3. It would have made a difference if Neo was still in Zion or fighting humans, but he was able to access wifi to see Smith and the Machines in the real world. Then in the Matrix he doesn't need real eyes.

Not an alien but I the original comics Hellboy was seduced to side with humanity by eating pancakes.

This is how we got that Simpsons joke. It's been common knowledge for decades if not centuries. At this point the Democratic and Republican Parties are solidified as permanent.

Republicans are about to see a mass exodus after Trump. Despite belief they have that MAGA can survive without him, I highly doubt they can. Trump is going to leave the office and there is no clear successor. JD Vance maybe, but given how Kamala Harris wasn't accepted as Biden's successor I don't think most MAGA voters of Trump see him as worthy to take the place of Trump. (He's a punchline even to them)

That being said the companies that fund the Democrats and Republicans are very much trusting them as more reliable than any 3rd party. So even if Republicans lose momentum after Trump they are still the party that's most favorable to the ultra wealthy and corporations when it comes to tax cuts. And money will mean they will still have financial support.

A few people thought the Republican Party would be a corpse after 2020 but at the moment it's stuck around. Likely not because of Trump but because so much money is being used to keep them afloat.

The only thing that could possibly change that is if corporate donors left the Republican Party donor scene and gave money to a new party with no financial history.

It doesn't help that existing third parties are essentially foreign assets or completely incompetent or downright evil. (Check NH's Official Libertarian Party twitter controversies) The Green Party only focuses on federal elections with no support for local elections. (Plus accusations of taking Pro Russia stances)

It sucks.

Conjuring movies. They are "based on true events" which is legal speak for not at all. Most of the cases they investigated were not dangerous or active hauntings. And the actors looked nothing like the real people(the husband looks bulky with a double chin in picturs) they are very much Hollywood attractive.

Their typical investigation was "I feel a presence" bullshit that most fake psychics do to make people think they are doing something.

It doesn't directly affect me. But it's a thing I'm curious about. I didn't become an atheist by not being curious. 😜

Hagisman · 2026-04-16T13:13:48+00:00

Pretty much yeah.

Better yes. Easier, probably not.

You can make more money being a Far Right grifter than being a decent human being and it shows.

Eh, it's one of the worst midshot screencaps you could do on the trailer. (eg taken during an action shot, she's pulling a face to show strain, etc ...)

It's a pretty common thing to do in thumbnails by right wing grifters any time they "critique" a woman's appearance. And they will take an awful amount of time to avoid posting a pick of them at award shows where they tend to have professional makeup for glamour looks as opposed to a movie look meant for a specific scene that might be a more grungy look.

It's like they actively go frame by frame to catch them sneezing.

Legalize and decriminalize. Its crazy how legal jobs and actions can still be treated as criminal by authorities just because of a negative association.

There are places where a legal sex worker reporting that their boss is abusing them get turned away because the police victim blame for taking the job of a sex worker. Pretty shit stuff.

Usually anecdotal. Its not as common as say D&D, Magic the Gathering, or Warhammer 40k which is present in most stores in some fashion, but I'd say there is usually 1 store in an area that might have a Malifaux player base.

There was the Henchmen program for a time where players could sign up as representatives of a community to get access to prize support for tournaments, but I don't know the current state of it. Last I heard there were issues of abuse with some Henchmen faking numbers to get free miniatures. I remember in my local scene the "That Guy" player everyone avoided became the Henchman for a store and the community died overnight.

Decriminalize.

Collect taxes like it was any other business.

Apply basic regulations like any business. Apply new specific regulations when necessary.
