#11 Even better: curse tablets are also often found under various arenas and stadia, because people paid good money to try to magically undermine their team's rivals.
Remember, folks, while everyone else who sold their immensely popular web property seemingly went on to actively make things suck more, Tom just peaced out and decided to take up photography and live his goddamned life. Sure, he might be snorting powered kittens off his slaves, but he's keeping quiet about it like a normal human being.
It mainly comes down to what your group is there for. Some groups enjoy the knowledge that the GM doesn't pull punches and so the "sometimes you have to run" is part of the fun.
#6 *They* might not be saying it, but *I've* been saying it since 20-fucking-16. He was the keystone and we weren't prepared to lose him.
No. No, we are not.
"I almost got him a necklace one time, so he could remember all the venerable English historians... I took a closer look, though, and realized it was just a string of Bedes." "We got into our share of fights as kids and one time he said he was gonna whoop me like he was Julius Caesar. I told him he wouldn't have the Gaul." "One thing we both thought was neat was that samurai were big on firearms. Real life or death stuff. You could say that for them, a lot of times it was shogun or daimyo."
I dunno about most folks, but I just find it a good way to zen out for a while without needing the space for a garden or similar shit.
Probably because you actually care about having a consistent set of values and not just "owning the libs" if you haven't slid with it.
Oh? It is? Please, go on, then. Elaborate.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
No problem. My gut reaction was "This would kinda make a cool campaign setting," so I did a reverse GIS in case it *was*. :P
It's from a worldbuilding project someone on DA did. https://www.deviantart.com/ohawhewhe/art/The-World-Beyond-the-Ice-Wall-2-0-875422222
Hell, at least the Aztecs believed that the rulers and other elites needed to make sacrifices of their own blood as part of the deal.
Nice try, Jake's fake dad.

That's fair. By and large, I don't think that's what happens around here, but I admittedly also have a life. :P
I mean, yeah. But, the first step of that is often to acknowledge where you are and how you got there and maybe joke a little on the way. :P

it's an excuse by any stretch of the imagination, but understanding potential causes is how you overcome them and get over it. 2/2
I mean, all sorts of problems can stem from childhood experiences, 'cause that's when the brain is at its most pliable. I don't think 1/2
It's not about feeling special, dude. It's about an identified pattern of issues common to folks with common experiences. :P
They're different things. AP's a college prep suite of classes while Gifted programs start in elementary school and're a form of special ed.
joking about how that shit was the whole way and what it could turn into the whole way. :P 3/3
But, 2) I never said mine weren't well-adjusted *now*, but most of us had to deal with some shit to get to that point. Which we did, 2/3
I mean, there's kinda two things there. 1) AP and Gifted aren't quite the same thing, especially when we're talking elementary age kids. 1/?
I mean, folks who went through Gifted programs didn't get there by underthinking, did they? And we've had years to compare notes with folks.
I mean, you're looking at two different things. There are real issues at the bottom of the jokes, but the hyperbolic posts are a coping tool
Eh, it depends. Sometimes the only way to deal with something dark and painful is to make light of it. That's why we *have* black humor.
Good, good. Now, imagine—just for a moment—that the posts you're complaining about are *also* hyperbolic. What would that make you?
Really? Because it feels to *me* like most posts are about cute animals, cute girls, or memes.
