TC deleted his "shout it from the rooftops" remark when commenters pointed out that the paper (against convention) uses "the fifth quintile" to refer to the top 20% rather than the bottom 20%
Ooooooops!
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
i've remarked before that the local intelligentsia is strongly affected by American politics of the moment
so right now it's anti-anti-immigration time. everyone's favourite enemy is Trump (or Cruz)
which is causing some contortions as the favourite local drum to beat is reduction of immigration

speaking of edgy RPGs Varg Vikernes has released his shitty generic fantasy RPG and setting that is very thinly veiled Nazi propaganda (with Muslim and Jewish fantasy stand-in cultures that worship awful evil gods. . .)
This photo is from an hour ago at the Fort McMurray airport:
Several more neighbourhoods are on fire. A propane plant is under threat. At least one school has been destroyed.
Wait what?
A forest fire near Fort McMurray in northern Alberta went wild yesterday. At least one suburb has completely burned. The entire city of 80,000 people has been evacuated.

releasing an RPG is the least black metal thing I can think of doing

world of darkness edition wars are the stupidest shit
i got into this stuff late so I'm not really invested in how it ought to be the way some are
I think Old Mage gets the edge in terms of like, really clear visual iconography? "this guy is a voodoo, this guy is a catholic priest, this lady is wiccan, and they're all on the run from the men in black" is a very visual, attention-getting way to describe a game and it sounds like fun
but I see some of the fucking lunacy that diehard oldskool fans post on websites and I am fine not playing with those dudes
I think old mage's connection to at least the outer trappings of actual existing magical traditions was pretty cool and I find the atlantis stuff maybe a bit goofy
but gnosticism is great and that long play report I don't remember the name of with a PC named Kali made me really want to try Awakening
people really love to harp on atlantis and a) i don't have a problem with it, perhaps because I wasn't conditioned to have a problem with it but also b) it is 100% in line with all the reading i've done about the theosophical society, Mu enthusiasts, and a certain very specific history of real-life occult thought that maybe a lot of gamers have not been exposed to

in scandinavia at least the overlap between metal fans and rpg fans is pretty big

But like 90% of black metal is basically about a D&D campaign.
this just reminds me i have more visual novels i need to work through
higurashi ep. 2 sitting untouched after excitedly buying it release day . . .
P10

i liked The Royal Trap: The Confines of the Crown but it is a hanako games game aka fake anime (i think it qualifies, also probably hanako games' date warp but i haven't played it)

Ooooooops!
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

Given that you are the universe, this is correct.
I can say with confidence that given my fanbase that P10 is not nearly the only one.

I've only read a review in a Danish rpg magazine as a teen in the 90s
from memory it definitely sounded very bismuth in that 90s way
but I mean, it's no FATAL, I think
