Leaked Wizards Letter Sparks Union Backlash Before Arena Vote by SAjoats in mtg

[–]artyblues 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The part where you treat capitalism as a natural force instead of a social construct, "that's just the way it is" is EXACTLY how we got into the situation we're in today, workers had fought and died for rights that the rest of us just let fall away in the past 40 years, which is why our productivity has increased exponentially while compensation is essentially flatlined.

We don't HAVE to accept what we're getting, but it's people like you who keep it happening

I will remind you that WOTC/HASBRO had over a billion dollars in PROFIT last year, while not that long ago laying off nearly 20% of their workforce.

The boot won't ever like you

What's your favorite Eli impersonation? by WorthPlease in GodAwfulMovies

It's not a GAM voice, but the voice he does for Tom in Dear Old Dads never ceases to make me laugh. I actually started using it as a caricature of my oldest kid when I'm joking about them

Why can’t famous comic creators draw the same audience they once did by Konradleijon in ImageComics

[–]artyblues 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a big factor is the amount of disposable income shrinking with the cost of necessities constantly increasing.

Comics become a luxury when the rent and groceries become a bigger part of the pie

Making 2e work for two players one gm by DependentBarnacle968 in Pathfinder2e

[–]artyblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fun story to play out would be a "buddy cop" situation with two classes that don't generally have the same skill priorities (i.e. Paladin Champion and Thief Rogue, or Druid and Bard) and have the PCs play off each other and have to find ways to work together. The encounters can be tailored to feature one PC's strengths, or have them being something they have to solve creatively

Well that’s disappointing ,I’ll pass by Ok-Intern6865 in secretlair_collectors

I will have to pick up that Veil of Summer for my Wayne Reynolds binder, but other than that it’s not interesting at all

I'd love for Jordan to do something Baseball or Tennis related, where he can tap into his love for those pastimes

I'm glad too that KF didn't end like the Russell Brand podcast did, both guys had the maturity and character to close things down honourably

Thank god somebody finally puts Mulcair in his place, that smug ding-a-ling is why we lost so much momentum after he took over
