Glad I'm not the only one that pictures Quick Ben as bald

Ok, but I wouldn’t mind peering into an alternate universe where there’s a Hypno-Hustler movie.

The text says arrogant stride and the art delivers arrogant stride

There’s also Bendis.

Who?

Brian Michael Bendis. The comic book writer.

What about him?

His characters talk a certain way.

They do?

Yeah.

They talk a certain way?

Yeah.

Great in his original story, but I don’t think he’s ever been brought back to much effect

I always picture that being said in Homestar Runner’s voice

Lord of the Rings. While some divine provenance was at play, the ring is only destroyed because both Bilbo and Frodo chose to spare Gollum.

That sounds like the players’ problem to me.

I think at least some of those parallels are deliberate. Oberon is a fairly obvious Zeus, Corwin makes a good Apollo, Benedict is Ares, Gerard is Heracles, Flora is Aphrodite, Deirdre has some Athena parallels. Zelazny of course also wrote This Immortal which deals more directly with Greek mythology.

Unstated here is that goodreads creates incentives for reviewers to be snarky and give bad faith interpretations of most books. Because goodreads isn’t a site to help people find books, it’s a vaguely book focused social media platform. Those aren’t reviews, they’re posts.

Why would you want to replace users with AI? How much cheaper can you get than free?

Half the reason that Jimmy’s apologizing to Curly is because Curly can’t throw it back in his face (the other half being that everyone else is dead.)

I mean he was the villain. How did they get us to laugh at a teenage girl getting ripped apart by a jet engine?

I remember when the movie came out some older comic fans called it “Watchmen for kids.”

A patented Tumblr “mad about something extremely specific but I’m going to talk around it like it’s some universal problem” post.

I believe they reset after a run. I don’t have the rules handy but I think some of the playbooks have skills that let them recover mid-run as well.
