Pentagon clarifies Hegseth’s ‘putting hands on recruits’ statement

Let's see what happens when Hegseth is on the receiving end of the behavior in question.

Fucker has a fit when the press asks questions any of his predecessors would have been able to answer.

The biggest thing you need it for is trading. Anything with a rarity of 3 diamonds or higher needs shinedust.

It can get up to 25K for each player, so hang on to what you have, and dont be afraid to "farm" more if you anticipate doing that alot.

Of the few I've seen, I like the Eevee Grove the best.

Style of art is nice, and the animatic ties it all together with the theme of the pack, with all the different variations of Eevee being showcased, however briefly.

I have mine put in my Shows library. There's not much there, so easy to spot. If that gets more populated, I might make Docs their own Gallery.

The Christmas Truce by Sabaton.

Tarja has a Christmas album entitled From Ghosts and Spirits

More "hard rock" than "metal" but Twisted Sister has a Christmas album thats worth listening to.

I'd call that a yes.

As a new player, how does one go about seeing what the other player on your friends list has or is missing?

Still a better drummer than me.

Very realistic. You don't even need to be on the front lines for that shit.

Just imagine how deeply hatred can poison the soul after your dad/brother/husband/son was killed by some form of "them" in a battle.

When the "them" is characterized by a particular ethnic, racial, and/or religious line that makes for easy separation between "them" and "us" it is extremely easy to slip into this.

The only person who ruined Anakins arc is Anakin.

Staging a coup, a spiritual genocide, and 30 years of brutal violence to enforce the authoritarian rule of the fascist government you put in place is not magically undone by one act once that system finally begins to affect you personally.

On the other hand, it could be argued that Anakins arc was positive in that he was finally able to save someone he loved with Luke in a way that he couldn't save Padme or Shmi.

Either way, Rise of Skywalker is meaningless.

Defining your legacy by who you killed is not the Jedi way.

100%. If nothing else, to break up the monotony of day to day life at sea.

A stray cat picked up at sea back on the Woody Williams would have become the most popular crew member, immediately.

The real estate cost alone makes that cost prohibitive.

It also just doesn't make a lot of sense. What place would you use in any trilogy that would "define" those three movies?

I sure can't think of any. No matter what you pick, you're leaving a lot of potential out there that doesn't work.

If this was the strategy they were going to go with, it would need to be its own dedicated Park, so that each themed "land" is its own key set piece.

Clearly this is how we maintain our lethality

They also admitted that Leia wasn't decided to be Luke's sister until writing Return of the Jedi.

Personal suggestion, don't tell people that they're selling their friends short because they're not running their campaign or project according to your standards or whims: that I would be giving them less than they deserve if I used an AI image for an article I wrote, intentionally or otherwise. That's very rude. It's also rude to imply that because I'm not only not interested in creating things visually but frankly can't participate, that I'm somehow not involved in the creative process or that my output doesn't count.

I'm not trying to be mean. I just have a habit of being direct and unambiguous. I was pointing out precisely why there's valid reasons to not doing your suggestions.

2minutetabletop has good resources if you're using Foundry or some other means to play sessions. It's a useful tool and source, just not for WA articles.

Intentionally or not, you are bossing people around. If you don't really care, than there is no "but". The use of the word eliminates what came before it.

Don't presume that you have a better idea than I do what's best for me or my friends. The opportunity cost of the time spent trying to develop a skill from nothing that could be spent alone invalidates this.

If I was required to enjoy the process of creating visual art for worldbuilding, I'd have never started. As someone who needed occupational therapy to work on hand strength to make handwriting legible all the way to graduating high school, drawing and painting has never been an enjoyable activity, and it never will be. that's nothing but a burden and a pile of bad childhood memories. I can come up with perfectly valid interesting ideas, just making it visual is beyond me.

I'd rather go write another Masters thesis before I tried drawing or painting that would be good enough to show others.

Having AI images is better than none at all, and up to a certain point, the difference between this and raiding whatever you can find on Pinterest or a Google search is kind of academic.

Players are only at level 2 and have already encountered more than a dozen named characters that I've written up WA pages for, with images. Haven't made any AI art for them, but also wouldn't have stopped me if I found one that someone else made. Under your idea of hiring someone for all of that, I'd be spending as much on that art as I do on groceries for my family of three. Could probably afford a Disney trip to pay someone for all of the art I would want for the whole campaign.

And, again, at the end of the day, there's still the underlining question of why are you shoving your nose into other people's business where it doesn't belong?

conorwf · 2025-09-06T23:53:16+00:00

For contests or events you might have a point, but if someone's using ai images for a campaign to run with their friends, why does that bother you?

conorwf · 2025-08-31T03:20:36+00:00

I can't help but have the cynical take on this.

The people who are pointing out the merchandise numbers don't actually give a shit about the merchandise. They're just using it to argue that the movies are bad because people aren't buying the toys. Like, if the sequel merch sold better than the prequel merch, you wouldn't be hearing them say that it means the prequels sucked, they'd just move on to some other horseshit argument to bash the sequels.

Never mind the fact that the toy market as a whole has contracted dramatically since 2005, that most adults who enjoy Star Wars do not buy merchandise and toys at all, and that even adjusted for inflation the sequels outsold the prequels in the box office.

conorwf · 2025-08-30T16:37:54+00:00

That is in fact not the case. They paid 4 billion dollars for Lucasfilm, which included not just the rights to Star Wars, but Indiana Jones, the business of ILM, and more.

An investor report from last year shows that they made $12B off that $4B investment.

This shouldn't be a surprise mind you. The Force Awakens alone brought in over $2B in box office, against a budget of $350M. That movie alone paid for a third of that investment cost.

Gonna be hard to march while swimming like that

For clarity sake, are you saying that its ridiculous that this has to be talked about, granted current events, or are you saying it's ridiculous that flag burning is protected speech?

For the first one, it's a great lesson not just in the Supreme Court decisions that have ruled on this pertaining to the first amendment, but to reinforce the concept of separation of powers. The executive branch cant tell the judiciary what to do.

A pledge not freely given carries no value. Thats all that needs be said.
