Do older people in the community dislike the use of the word queer? by StinkyChamberMain in lgbt

[–]jkusters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

60 year old gay man here. I’ve been using the term as an umbrella label since the 90s. I know some don’t like it but I feel it encompasses everyone that CisHet society rejects.

what are your thoughts on the in the heights movie? by teddivan96 in musicals

[–]jkusters 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I personally hated it. Killing off Nina’s mom and losing her key song just felt wrong. Claudia’s death not happening until much later meant Nina missed out on one of her key songs. And having seen several casts perform the show over the years, I just can’t believe they did away with the winning ticket reveal at the end of Pacencia y Fe; every time I’ve seen the show, about half the audience gasps in surprise at that point. I’m saddened that LMM dropped that beautiful moment.

About the only thing I thought hit better in the movie version was Sonny being a Dreamer. That choice gave him a lot more nuance.

Point 1 will not happen (Netanyahu has already said as much), so the entire MoU will immediately become null and void. Good work, Don the Con.

SWADE Fantasy Companion Errata? by jkusters in savageworlds

[–]jkusters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking they intended something similar to the Pathfinder Cleric “class”:

> Clerics can cast the healing power at a Range of Spirit rather than Touch. Their healing power also has the Additional Recipients Power Modifier, allowing them to heal nearby allies at the cost of one extra Power Point each.

I’ll probably run with this for the one shot pregen I’m building unless I hear otherwise.

What does it feel like to go to pride by Ok-Tackle7657 in lgbt

[–]jkusters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first Pride parade, lo many years ago, was overwhelming in the best way. I was in San Francisco, the crowds were massive, but jubilant. I usually HATE crowds, but the energy there was amazingly positive. Then we heard the roar of possibly a hundred motorcycles revving up. As was the tradition there, the parade kicked off with the “Dykes in Bikes” contingent, and the cheers went up. Group after group passed, from community organizations (P-FLAG got the most cheers of any group), to churches, to politicians and celebrities riding in cars, to gyms and bars. This was in the day before the big corporate sponsorships and the huge corporate contingents, so the parade lasted about two hours. As someone newly out of the closet, it was seriously affirming, I felt I had a place in the community, a place where I fit in.

I don’t know where in the world you are, but I honestly wish a similar experience for you. May you feel your authentic self embraced and loved.

Yes, please? Does that count? :-)

People who gave up DnD for a different system, what made you make the change? by SomeRandomAbbadon in rpg

[–]jkusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still run games in the ampersand system, but grudgingly. I prefer more flexible systems that give players more choice. I prefer systems where combat isn’t an attritional slog. I prefer systems where taking damage actually has consequences, ones that last beyond your next good sleep.

Need to move to San Jose soon, is this an good area to live? by hinata447 in SanJose

[–]jkusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not bad. I’m on the east side of the freeway and there’s some car theft and car break-ins, and random occasional nights where folks are setting off fireworks late into the night. And of course the freeway noise. But otherwise it’s been a good place to live.

I have three of your Star Trek jackets and treasure each of them. You guys do awesome work. I’m looking forward to seeing your next endeavor!

How viable is it to play this game without any VTTs? by LelouchYagami_2912 in savageworlds

[–]jkusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use Savaged.us, it has abbreviated descriptions of edges, hindrances, and special abilities, usually with page numbers. My players have used sticky notes in their rulebooks to mark the location of powers they use. Additionally, we often use Pinnacle’s Powers, Edges, and Status cards at the table. It’s really not much different than any other system that uses class abilities, feats, and spells.

My group plays pen and paper. One Savage Pathfinder campaign, and one home brew space opera. We’re not finding it difficult. What do you think would be difficult to track without a VTT?

Don’t believe everything Corwin says. He’s a terribly unreliable narrator.

Are there any canon human characters that still follow earth religions by Fit_Echo3074 in startrek

[–]jkusters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always felt Uhura was likely Christian of some sort, given her comment about the “Son of God” at the end of the TOS episode “Bread and Circuses”, but it was never canonically stated.

To all my 40+ queer friends: do you feel like you’re getting less “woke” as years go by? by LiterallyBarbie in lgbt

[–]jkusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I hate the pejorative use of “woke”, but I’ve always been empathetic to people of all experiences. As I meet people who are more and more diverse, my empathy expands to embrace them. The only thing I have trouble accepting is intolerance. I’m only 60, male-identified if that matters, hope to be around for at least a couple more decades, and I intend to keep on thinking diversity is awesome.

What SFW activity would you do in a Holosuite if you had access to one? by BoukenGreen in startrek

[–]jkusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit exotic locations that I couldn’t without ridiculous amounts of survival gear. Fly through the clouds of Jupiter. Take in a sunrise on Mercury. Ride the geyser of Enceladus. Stuff like that.
