    I want you guys to imagine the scene from predator: "Dillon, you son of a *****" as I help Strathalmere to his feet.

    I believe if you click your username in the top right, then click 'My Content', it'll allow you to post a blog entry.

    I have to admit, while the UR wasn't incredibly interesting, making off with the Bident at the end was pretty funny.

    I REALLY want Arixmethes as a card
    Yeah, me too. I'm a fan of making casual 'Kaiju' decks, so I always love it when we get new giant fatties.

    why didn't anyone tell me I was supposed to be adding my DEX to my damage

    ;[

    like, did you guys just not notice, or
    You didn't want to share your character sheet :p

    I wasn't paying attention to your rolls. It would have been one of the first things I would have told you, lol.

    Well, you know now. That's what matters.

    Does Leveling work like it does in JRPGs? Are my spell slots/HP back (if I had lost any), or does that have to wait for the rest?

    Quote from Gerrard"s Mom »
    Haven't tracked XP at all myself, just Reed leveled? I can calculate later if necessary.
    Cythare may have leveled as well. He and I got bonus XP and inspiration back when we argued over the fairy meth. I'm only over the 2700 by 105 xp.

    posted a message on Are social justice warriors and neo-Nazis more similar to each other than they think?
    Quote from joandeMRA »
    Social Justice Warriors are the people who gave the world "privilege theory", they are the people who don't see a problem with kangaroo courts for people accused of sexual assault, their the people who rant about how white people are "the problem" while claiming they can't be racist because marxism inspired gibberish. Social justice warriors pervert and flip the meaning of concepts like justice, equality, etc.
    Actually, SJWs didn't create privilege theory. That was WEB Dubois way back in the early 20th century (although it wasn't in the same vein as we think of it today). SJWs just misunderstand what they're talking about and take it to ridiculous extremes because they feel like more reasonable approaches aren't doing enough, or doing it fast enough.

    Quote from joandeMRA »
    Social Justice Warriors do harm! This year twice as many cops have been shot as usual because of an absurdly intellectually dishonest narrative about police shootings and race spread by SJWs.
    That's patently false, and obviously hyperbolic. Were these SJWs around in the 1970's or during the prohibition when law enforcement officers were killed at twice the 'normal' rate of the last 100 years (which has hovered around 120-180 deaths)?

    There have been 44 line-of-duty deaths this year. There is absolutely no indication that any of these are a result of the SJW 'narrative', unless you think they're conspiring to organize car accidents on a fairly regular basis.

    I definitely don't agree with the extremes posed by the people who are being labelled as SJWs here, but the underlying social inequities they're driven by are still real. They just don't have the ability to grapple with them effectively, and the internet provides a convenient outlet for their frustration. You see this in almost every internet-based 'movement', from Gamergate and beyond, where an injustice or inequity is latched onto by people with heavy confirmation biases and it quickly becomes ugly and place for people to spew their most vile inner thoughts without fear of repercussions. It doesn't make them any more dangerous than your average internet troll, and probably less dangerous than your average teenage 'swatter'.

    posted a message on Tips for Coping With a Loss?
    Hey, I'm sorry about the loss of your dog. That's always rough - the day my childhood dog died I was pretty miserable.

    The only thing you can do is just keep yourself occupied while you grieve. Make sure you took some time cry if that's what you needed, and then keep yourself busy with school/work whatever you've got going on until you start to feel better. There are really no shortcuts through grief, it's perfectly natural to feel bad about losing a pet, and ignore anyone who gets a flippant attitude about it. You'll feel better soon enough, although if you don't and it feels like you've been depressed for too long, you may want to consider talking to someone about it.

    while the third (presumably Theodoran) smacks him with the broad side of the blade doing nothing.
    Every time I read this part, I can't help but burst out laughing.
    Hahaha, oh yeah.

    Kaburi, props on the writing buddy. You're doing a great job.
