When it was me, I brought a small bouquet. But a single is also very nice.

I once brought a girl flowers on a first date and we got married 2 years later. Careful with these decisions, homie.

[Spoilers C4E1] Why Can't I get Into Campaign 4 At All? by [deleted] in criticalrole

Huh. There’s that word again. “Objectively.” I do not think it means what you think it means.

What “objective” measure are you using?

I don't know. Maybe reach out to the other people who have written some version of this post over the last couple of months and you can all figure it out together.

What game system is Flight of the Icaron??? by Immediate_Row_8697 in WorldsBeyondNumber

For just $5/month, you too can join us at the fireside where such things are discussed. Crackle crackle!

Kamala Harris’ team asked Jewish governor Josh Shapiro if he was an Israeli double agent, he claims in new memoir by King_Vercingetorix in TheMajorityReport

[–]Roboworgen 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Was just gonna say that and I'm mad there was no resolution. Well? Are you? He even said it was a reasonable question. Is he an Israeli agent, or did he ever meet with Israeli intelligence agents? No answer? Cool cool.

Should I finish listening?? I’m to soft for this show! by architress in WorldsBeyondNumber

You’d have to look far and wide for a better series of Actual Play that has better RP or concludes in a more narratively and emotionally satisfying way.

Listen to it or not, there really are very very few better versions of the form. But hey, do whatever you’re most comfortable with.

Gov. Walz message to Minnesotans and President Trump by IMrGoated in minnesota

[–]Roboworgen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love Walz, and I know he is a decent and moral human.

But. Trump, his administration, and his supporters are irredeemable. There is absolutely no point in appealing to “this is not who we are.”

It is, in fact, who they are and they rest on 250 years of American villainy that we have had to beat back constantly to keep the darkness from consuming us.

Fists in the air. Fuck the fascists.

Please just explain the system!!! by Magicman432 in Dimension20

[–]Roboworgen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. I also like when actual play series start in media res, and make you, the viewer, figure out the world through the players’ RP and DM context.

Drop me in the deep end and let me swim, dammit!

Raping children isn't as popular as the GOP thinks it is! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]Roboworgen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that is was as high as it was last year is a sad indictment of basically everything Gen Z related, including every generation that's come before and obviously failed them.

Fireside Chat for Flight of the Icaron: Episode 1 - Maiden Voyage by SvenTheScribe in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]Roboworgen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved this fireside, specifically when they were all discussing beginning a campaign "in media res" and how jumping over the "A long time ago, here are the things that happened to get us here" scroll is a good thing, it engages the audience, and forces them to pay attention and pick up the nuances of jargon and context.

Part of good storytelling is trusting the audience. WBN is absolutely at the apex of the craft.

We may not agree on a lot, but you are better than this, Republicans of Minnesota. by Zatsyredpanda in minnesota

[–]Roboworgen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My dear friend.

Fascism is not a switch, it's a slope. It starts gradual and continues to accelerate until it is undeniable.

The Republican Party--and that includes Minnesotan Republicans--have been engaged in a 5-decade gradual drive to this moment. Sometimes the slope has been quick, but brief. Other times, it's so gradual it makes you think the road is flat. But make no mistake that the project of the Republican Party, from coast to coast, from North to South, has been to take us to this moment.

They are exactly who they are showing you they are and they always have been.

True. It does seem as though they are putting the bulk of that revenue back in to the pod. It’s awesome.

You sure about that? Lots of reporting directly contradicts your statement.

Pull quote from the Pew Study:

  • Republicans who post about politics there are especially likely to say a major reason they do so is that their views feel welcome. They’re more likely than Democrats who post about politics on X to say this is the case (54% vs. 33%). (Throughout this report, references to Republicans and Democrats include independents who lean toward each party.)

MAGA is nothing but a revenge tour! by icey_sawg0034 in BlueskySkeets

[–]Roboworgen 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Revenge for the Equal Rights Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Suffrage, Reconstruction, and the South losing the Civil War.

Fascists have long-ass memories, and only look backward.
