If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Have been binge watching Vikings. There's a lot of dual wielding going on, and those heavy axes never damage those wood shields. Other than that, I'm enjoying the show.

Yes. Do you really think the average person, and even the average person at a college or university gives a crap or even knows his stuff is going on? True story. I had heard of the song "Blurred Lines" and the controversy surrounding it, but had never heard the actual song itself until last year. I...

I think it's a skewed perspective from spending time on the interwebs. How much does millennials' whining effect you in RL?

For the gays and the liberals this election is 99% about controlling the supreme court. I trust Clinton in that regard. Trump? Not so much. The gays must have short memories, it took Bill all of about 24 hrs to throw them under the bus after the inauguration in 93', and who can forget Hillary's bra...

I've never heard it referred to as "shark week" and I think it's hilarious.

The only thing I fear from Hillary is more banking deregulation and another Big Short style recession <snip> Oh is that all.

For the record I also think Clinton would be a worst president that Trump. As has been pointed out, Trump does not have the support of the party. Sure they may want him to win over Clinton but they will just freeze him out once in office. Clinton on the other hand has the machine behind her and she...

FYI, Bernie Sanders got crushed in yesterday's primaries. Polls had shown him closing to within 2 points in California; he lost by 13. Clinton now has more than enough pledged delegates to be nominated, and has garnered 3.5 million more votes. Yet Sanders vows to fight on, and hopes to convince the...

You're fucking kidding me? Did you read the girls statement to the court? They are not equally culpable. Anyone who gets drunk to the point of unconsciousness is an idiot, but the dude is culpable. The light sentence is ridiculous and will be used as an example of rape culture by SJW's for years to...

I think I've mentioned before that my boyfriend is an episcopal priest? I've been going to Sunday services just to share the experience with him.

Our old friend Sally Strange shows up in this:

There will be a female Bond before there will ever be an American Bond. As everyone knows, there has already been an Australian Bond, and some people think he was the most faithful to the books and therefore best of the Bonds. But I think there would be some kind of uprising if there were to be an ...

Ugh. John Krakauer just used the 1 in 5 rape statistic on NPR. I used to like that guy.

Hey sciencey types, I've been reading that MACHOS are maybe replacing WIMPS as the explanation for dark matter. The primordial black hole theory seems to make more sense to me than a previously unknown particle we can't detect. At least there's evidence for black hole. Thoughts?

So Daniel Craig doesn't want to do another Bond film. Get ready for the SJW project of trying to co-opt everything you used to like, with their chorus of "Cast a black dude or a woman or you're worse than Hitler!"

I worry about how I'm going to stop my kids from going SJW. Honestly I think the best option is getting them into the evangelical church next door. Two thoughts: - Learn to be a better friend. - Let her see you working to improve your own practice of healthy and responsible ways of thinking. - Set ...

Rayshul- I've given more thought as to how to ensure your kids don't go SJW. I don't know how old they are, so don't do anything until they start to show signs. Once one has indicated that he or she is starting down that path, act as though they've convinced you. You've given it a lot of thought and...

I think the urge to vote Trump to stick it to SJW's comes from this: When I was little and any of us were crying over some perceived slight, our father would threaten to "give us something to cry about." I think we want to give the SJW's something to cry about.

Fuck's sake: ‘I think the LGBT scene is just for gay men’, Riley went on. Ku Bar, another Soho favourite, was, she said, a case in point: ‘All the people who work there are men, with no shirts on.

DC comics is incorporating Dr. Manhattan of Watchmen into their superhero universe. They must think that more blue dong will make them competitive with Marvel.
Alan Moore must be turning over in his grave. I know he's still alive, but I bet he sleeps in a coffin.

I wish FT would change the header. I keep thinking it says "Why do turds suddenly appear..." and it makes me think of a warped version of that Carpenters song.

One of the big complaints about Riddle of Steel was the opposite of D&D. The magic was incredibly over powered. I saw it as a feature rather than a bug. Sure, a sorcerer could dominate if he was playing like it was a tactical war game, but that's something to be solved through the narrative rather ...

RPG's that I've had the most fun playing: Call of Cthulu, Star Wars, AD&D, Warhammer-not 40K, Paranoia.

Has anyone played the microlite RPG? I like the look of it; minimal rules, and a reliance on roleplaying. Nope but looks like it's a free download. I would be up for some roleplaying via skype if anyone is interested. Maybe once every two weeks? I have Ad&D 2nd on pdf form I can share. I'd be inter...

The game that I DM is closest to Runequest, so figures are needed and a "round" is only a few seconds long. I agree that most recent games, esp. 4th ed AD&D, is shit. The goal of those games is to sell over-priced books. Lots of books. And now cards. And then more books. Back in the 80's I played a...

I haven't played an RPG in over 20 years but would love to. A couple of years ago a friend planned to get a 2nd ed AD&D campaign going but it never happened. I flipped through a 4th ed D&D book in a Barnes & Noble a while back and was appalled by what it had become-a cumbersome tabletop version of W...

Ugh. Listening to NPR while I cook, and Amy Goodman is doing a talk and just said that TV weathercasters need to relate their weather forecasts to global climate change, such as: "This 100 year flood is the result of global climate change." No, Amy. It doesn't work that way.

Failing a saving roll versus offense can be deadly. There should always be an SJW cleric on hand to perform a "Raise Dead" spell.

Tabletop can always just move out of the game stores and onto the kitchen table if the scene starts becoming toxic. I'd definitely be wary of how this SJW shit might affect my bottom line if I owned a hobby store, though. You know who your customers are and who spends money at your establishment. T...

I'm currently reading the autobiography of the brilliant Oliver Sacks and came across this passage.
