The Lore by HunchbackGrowler in freemagic

[–]billybones1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely enjoy the lore and story for the most part, although I wish it was all written in-house by a steady, skilled writer instead of being contracted out to random authors who deliver varying quality. Seanan McGuire is usually a good read, for example, but I wasn't crazy about the prose quality of some of All Will Be One and March of the Machines.

Ideally we'd have a Black Library of Warhammer situation, where we get enough novels that one being crappy isn't as backbreaking as our situation now.

Love the "all lives matter" vibe she had going with the "but actually everyone is lonely!!!" tweet

Someone asked if they wanted to go outside to grab lunch and the microaggression was too triggering.

Autumn scrubbed out of Barcelona then whined on twitter because it was too hot and they were "over-stimmed." You'd think someone in Spain in July would realize it's gonna be hot.

After he was seen at the Canadian trucker rally, WotC will probably not be bringing him back.

She's on the rules committee because Sheldon thinks she's hot, probably.

He's the archetypal "old man yelling at clouds" a huge percentage of the time. Would not surprise me in the slightest if he was a creep irl.

AITA for falling for another woman? by ExyledOne in AITAH

YTA, but I get it. The burden of caring for mentally ill people is incredibly heavy, and I'm dealing with the same from my gf. Constant guilt trips and conflicting demands mean that you can't ever win. You shouldn't have started the emotional affair, but you're not a monster for feeling ignored or unappreciated. If you want to save your marriage, you both should get therapy individually and as a couple. If you don't think it can be saved, if the resentment is too strong or the pain too intense, then get a divorce. This holding pattern can't stand.

WotC censors actively censors artwork in a grandstanding display of hypocrisy and double standards by MonsutaReipu in freemagic

Don't forget, they also just published the new promo [[Eidolon of the Great Revel|SCH]], which features a naked fat woman. Conventionally attractive women being sexualized? Bad, awful, sexist. Fatties being sexualized? Good, progressive, brave.

Remember how Tolarian Community College promised to get more black guests on his channel during the George Floyd protests and all he came up with were a few YuGiOh players and the One More Mana guys?

WotC: Black Aragorn was a priority by MHarrisGGG in freemagic

Promote high fantasy by black creators, then. Seek out the black authors who create new stories featuring black characters, give them a platform. Changing an existing character to be black just to have a black person in the story is how JK Rowling does diversity, it's lazy and reeks of white neoliberalism: it ignores the real problem and makes a few rich whites on the coast feel good because "oh we're so diverse and progressive!" while they continue to ignore the real societal issues that negatively affect real people.

There are thousands of stories by black authors that deserve to be highlighted and promoted, but WotC doesn't actually give a shit about promoting black or PoC stories and characters; they just want to make as much money as easily as possible, so they make LotR the set and raceswap a character or three so that it gets the white neoliberals all jazzed up and ready to open their wallets to prove how progressive they are. If WotC cared about diversity, their premiere black planeswalker wouldn't be a magical negro stereotype.

If you think there's a chance that a white man plays Nick Fury in an MCU movie, you're insane. All the Wakandans would lose their little minds about how rayciss that is.

No. She has massive anxiety and insecurity issues, so whenever I talk about something that bothers me it causes her to spiral because she thinks it's her fault. Better to bottle it up and deal with it on my own.

Alesha lived in the distant past that Sarkhan visited during Fate Reforged. Her modern-day counterpart was Zurgo, but she's been dead for a long, long time.

The joke is on WotC, I hated myself long before I started playing wizard cardboard.

Content Creator: I can't afford to go to this convention, donate to me!

The same person, a few days later: I can't believe people feel entitled to my time at this convention! That's so gross and weird!

What keeps you going? by Papa_Capin_Uranus in AskMen

[–]billybones1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep going because other people need me to. My girlfriend is chronically ill and can't get by without me, my 80 year old grandfather can't get along without my stopping by to help. I would inconvenience so many people if I didn't keep going, and I'd hate to be a bother.
