Exactly what just happened to me with Tabletop Simulator. Every single fucking Magic card that I or anyone I played with was saved.

Even better, I couldn't delete the files to get rid of the low storage warning. Changing the directory TTS uses didn't work. Deleting the folder didn't work, no matter how much I tried, because clearly MS knows better and I must have done it by mistake. I had to log in and use their web interface just to fucking say "yes, delete it, yes, I fucking mean it."

Not that I'm upset about it or anything.

It's extremely funny that she ruined her own career, including a likely spin-off starring her, because she wouldn't stop comparing the criticism of conservatives and their beliefs to the mass persecution and murder of Jews during the Holocaust.

It's also extremely funny that she went on to make a movie with The Daily Wire, no one saw it, it got called woke for being an action movie starring a woman.

To top that off, it's also extremely funny that The Daily Wire is FULL of people who couldn't cut it in Hollywood, so they kept self-financing their own shitty movies, and are now in financial trouble.

Yeah, that moment hit hard. I expected someone to come in and sing his part, then... oh. Right. Of course. :(

Soon after the "renaming," I saw some comment that just said "Finally!"

Like you, I've never heard anyone complain about the name "Gulf of Mexico," and I've heard Republicans complaining non-fucking-stop for decades, since I first began paying attention to politics as a teenager. How weak and submissive does a person have to be to take such a stupid and petty grievance, and rewrite their own mind as though they were always upset by it?

Not only did he not apologize, he doubled down with a string of extremely bad Nazi puns.

IIRC, even the ADL criticized it, which is hilarious, because it was RIGHT after they burned a ton of what credibility they had left to defend him.

As a rule, no, but I'll make some rare exceptions.

It has to be a small studio, I have to be pretty sure I'll like their next game, and I have to have enjoyed their past game enough that it's worth throwing them a few extra bucks.

For instance, I'm going to pre-order Slay the Spire 2.

  • Mega Crit is an indie studio.

  • I thought StS1 was exquisite, so I'm optimistic about a sequel from the same people.

  • I playes StS1 for hundreds of hours, so even if the sequel is a whiff, I'd have got my money's worth from them.

Similar goes for The Haunted Chocolatier, since I played the heck out of Stardew Valley.

My favorite part is when they complain about the overuse of the word "tankie," then call literally every other kind of leftist a lib.

I love the level-0 "funnels" from Goodman Games. If I have to pick one, let's say the classic, Sailors on the Starless Sea.

They're easy to pitch, and really help establish a tone, especially for players who bring a lot of preconceptions from 5e.

Life imitates art, and that art is the board game Twilight Struggle.

(It's a Cold War simulator, played on a world map, and Canada counts as Europe for game purposes.)

It's bad enough being one of those states now, and I'm in one of the good ones.

Hey, remember how right-wingers all laughed at What is a Woman? Reveling in their willful ignorance by laughing at anyone who dared to have a nuanced answer? Now they had a chance to define it for themselves, and immediately sat on their own (legally feminine) balls.

I'm annoyed that I expect Hollywood executive, as always, will take the wrong lesson from it. They'll see it underperformed and think people don't want a D&D movie, rather than that they shouldn't have released it between John Wick and Mario.
