D&D players were arguing with TSR over who got to define their game 40 years ago. One player threatened to stop buying AD&D. Another said, “If you can't use it, don't buy it.” But another response got to the heart of it: “my campaign.” Watch my latest video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv8o...

China is like a hungry young fighter gearing up to take on an aging champ. It was going to be tough, but they would probably win out. Then the aging champ injected heroin into his dick, plucked out an eyeball, and stuck his arm in a meat grinder. China: "OH... never mind this is going to be easy."

Diesel is pushing $7/g ($1.85/l) where I live. I saw a new-ish Ford diesel truck hauling ass on the expressway, gunning it, and passing cars like a maniac. Driving like that, I bet he's getting 15mpg (16 l/100km). And I bet he bitches up a storm about gas prices. We are a doomed society.

Feel like the median Democratic Party voter probably agrees with Hasan Piker that the U.S. has caused more death than Al Qaeda. Probably the median Republican voter does too (they think it's good). How long is the corporate media just going to keep pushing the old, busted 9/11 button?

The greatest culture shock moment of my life came from my first trip to Finland in 2005, when I learned they not only are aware of the Police Academy franchise, but they LOVE those movies. So much great art is produced by the United States, and yet that's what they chose to latch on to.

If you played D&D around 1980, were Basic D&D and AD&D really two separate games? TSR's answer changed over time. That made me think about what players were actually doing at their own tables. My full video is now live: youtu.be/f30hIRvPqoI

I've worked for a lot of companies. My current employer is the first one that random people not only instantly recognize, but respond positively to. In the past it was always: They had no idea what it was, but then thought it was cool. They knew what it was, and recognized it was a shitty place.

If you played D&D in the ’70s or ’80s, I need your help with some research! What version did you say you were playing, and what rules were you actually using? Did you mix OD&D, Basic and AD&D rules/material? What year was this? Tell me what you remember!

What is AI psychosis? Clinicians are increasingly using the term to describe cases where people develop or strengthen psychotic symptoms, especially delusions, after prolonged use of AI chatbots. With increasing use of chatbots for therapy or "companions," what does this mean? youtu.be/lt6SnAxRopQ

I love the American tendency to identify as a culture their ancestors emigrated away from 125+ years ago. My dude, there have been world wars, civil wars, revolutions, and a pan-continental union since your great-great-granddad fled Ireland to avoid jail time for pederasty. YOU are not Irish.

Ted Lasso S4 is what you get when people don't actually understand the topic/issues they are writing about. Their default seems to be: "all men are openly hostile to the notion of women playing sports". As someone who has followed women's soccer/football very closely for 15 years... 1️⃣/3️⃣

Gamers usually associate D&D character builds with feats, multiclassing, and 3E. But by 1985, players could already make advancement choices based on what they wanted their characters to become later. So when did character builds actually begin? Check out my latest deep-dive: youtu.be/Yxs0zbYtHLs

When I think of Will Sloan, and I DO think of him, often, a few semi-obscure/forgotten celebrity names come to mind. Near the top of that list is Sammy Petrillo. The fact that someone other than Will wrote a book about him is, frankly, kinda shocking.

Third Edition was once the new D&D. Now it’s 26 years old, and some players who embraced it later came to see 3.5 as the last version that still felt like D&D. So what actually makes D&D “old school”? My newest video: youtu.be/zgwb8m5V8L0 #DnD #OSR

Here I was, after watching The Odyssey, thinking I didn't quite jive with the "I'm sad because I did war" theme, but I couldn't quite articulate what bothered me about it. Well, a wiser person than me has done a better job than I would have.

boxd.it/fs5YFl Masters of the Universe was also pretty good. It's a summer of "pretty good" movies that people seem to dislike for some reason. I sure hope these are people who exclusively watch films by: Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Akerman, or Bresson and are just unnerved at how quickly it moves.
