    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.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    P10 is clearly not a pigeon, he just wants to watch you fuck a pigeon.

    Happiness is within reach!

    Mini Metro is a game that is better than a free flash game but not something I'd pay real moneys for, which makes it perfect for a Humble Bundle.

    Given that you are the universe, this is correct.

    (I've never actually played it so I have no idea how good the system is, I've just read some of the source materials because a friend had them)

    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

    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

    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.

    @Jacobkosh you should chat with @nexuscrawler about this sometime.

    He's old guard Mage.

    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
    jakobagger wrote: »
    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

    But like 90% of black metal is basically about a D&D campaign.

    hatoful boyfriend qualifies
    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)
    idk romantic visual novels aren't really my thing except for buying really horrible stuff ambiguously ironically
