Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Now Gaiman’s baggage? Not enough words to get into that LMAO. Now a much better criticism of Lewis IMO is Moorcock’s Epic Pooh, which gets Tolkien terribly wrong but reads Lewis like one of his own books. 010
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Kinda both? And it’s pretty obvious that the lipstick line is a stand-in for Susan wholly turning towards worldly pleasures instead of her own salvation, but again this would be very important to a devout catholic like Lewis (and reading a bit between the lines it kind of reads she’s an atheist) 110

Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Of course they wanted to exterminate lgbtq/minorities/disabled people/[insert identity here]. Guess who the Nazis thought was behind these ideas and identities to undermine the “pure” aryan race? 020
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Going down the rabbit hole of how that particular statement was “block-worthy”, and man, people really don’t (or don’t want to) understand how antisemitic conspiracies work. 041
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 13/10/2026But using skill checks and out of combat spells and succeeding and getting to stand out because uour character is built for that is a big part of the game, and I get the same vibe of how Mearls finds OOC so alien. 020
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Especially in today’s type of games where the expectation is 1-2 big encounters a day with social and exploration taking up the bulk of it (IRL a combat will take up mist of the timebecause slowing things doen to tactical round-by-round speed will do that, especially in a multi-foe dynamic encounter 230
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Yeah, I don’t know abou this whole series by Mike Mearls. IME 5e does just fine at handling OOC encounters and problem solving? I mean players should feel rewarded for using resources outside of combat, and the DM shouldn’t be afraid to use their own toolbox to still make it interesting for them. 1/ 130
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 12/10/2026My guess is Meditations endures because people love the idea of a philosopher-king (and whatever authority that gives to their writings). 010

Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My two main set of questions here would be: 1) when the first trirremes get wrecked/sunk, what happens with the wreckage? Does it impede further trirreme attacks? How are tactics adjusted? 2) What’s going on morale-wise? How are trirreme crews reacting to the first few getting obliterated by 1/ 100

Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Funny word, “Cavalier”, because it calls to mind who, among all the fancy West Point graduates at the time, was particularly known for his horsemanship 020
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And gets Russia to end its far-east imperial ambitions and end the Great Game, leading to the Anglo-Russian Convention and paving the way for the Triple Entente 020
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 29/09/2026LOL “without Caporetto there is no Vittorio Venetto” is about the same as “without the Battle of France there is no D-Day”. Vittorio Venetto only happened because Diaz was light-years above Cardona in pretty much every metric. Might as well come out as an Enver Pasha stan as well. 160

Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 29/09/2026reasoning pops up in a different sort of comparison, which really highlights the shallow one-dimension-ness of it all and it just leads to demonization of the “other” and placing themselves as the only possible defenders of the innocents. 020
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Totally! First time I’ve heard/read the quokka reference; I’m a big LOTR geek and so I’ve been able to follow their whole “able to quote the books verbatim yet unable to grasp a single one of the themes” thing for quite a while now. Just kind of eye opening yet not surprised at all that the same 120
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This sounds an awful lot like the reactionary right’s (resoundingly bad, full of confirmation bias and just begging the question from start to finish) reading of LOTR. 160
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Not a judgement on the song or artist though, I’ve heard it (on background LOL) and it’s ok but not something I’d seek out myself; and definitely not a knock on the genre (I prefer alt-country, but again my preference). 000
Rene Vielman @renevq.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’ve been leery of streaming metrics ever since that one AI band that got stealth included into the top rock and classic rock stations on spotify where background listening inflated its count and then tried to get forced into the discourse because of it 110
