    You know it's no joke. You know that movie sucked. It objectively, cosmically, ontologically sucked. It's not about fact, it's about the feels. 

    If you've ever had your heartfelt opinions and clownish whimsy pruned by VIDEO GAME FORUM MODERATORS (aka, the system, society, The MAN, etc.) then Joker is the movie for you.

    If you've ever endured the absurdity of trying to explain your online beef with video game forum mods to disinterested, ordinary people--Joker: Folie a Deux is for you. 

     

    And here you are shining a light on people's bad emotional investments with a joke. About Joker.

     

     

    I make jokes and occasionally post reviews for my own amusement. I absolutely do not want to be a revolutionary savior. I'm fucking awful. Though I do feel bad for anyone who believes violence is anything but a last resort. Sure, it's nice to fantasize about burning the whole system down. But at the end of the day fire, death, and blood is a terrible burden for everyone to bear. We're supposed to be civilized.

  2. Maybe the poster that I had to block for giving me an unreasonably hard time on numerous occasions should consider being less of an overbearing douchebag? Nobody needs them crashing down on them like a ton of bricks for not conforming to their views on things. The world does not revolve around them and their take on things. Oh well. Se la vie. Not my problem anymore.

    there are some good small groups running.  On Excelsior i have joined Justice Superteamers.  They run themed teams Friday and Sunday night.  ( 8 pm EST, 5 pm Pacific )  They have discord.  It is a mature group.  On Sunday we ran a +2 Master Eden.  It was a cakewalk.

     

    It's not a cakewalk without an actual cake at the end of it. That'd be like having a blood drive with no blood.

    So, after Aziraphale and Crowley were left on a cliffhanger and breaking up with each other...

    ...unfortunately, so was the production team. For reasons.

     

    I'm not going to rehash the news here. It's an easy Google.

    I will say, on a personal level, that I've never before been through that unique kind of heartbreak when you find out your heroes are total POS.

    The Great John Scalzi has much to say on the subject, much of it as NSFW as I'd like to post here, and I'm pretty sure he's not done anything perverted*.

     

    The upshot  is that we do not get Season 3. Instead, we get a "Season 2.5" feature-length movie, co-written by PTerry's faithful sidekick Rob Wilkins and some hired guns, and run by BBC Head Of Comedy Josh Cole. NG will not be credited, and anything he wrote for the show will go through script surgery first.

     

    In related news:

    • Sandman S2 is effectively dead at Netflix. Which I'm okay with, since they got through most of the good bits in S1.
    • The much-delayed Anansi Boys adap at Amazon is in Dev Hell, and may wind up being Batgirl'd out of existence.
      I'm mildly gutted about that, since it would have suited Delroy Lindo to a tee. 
    • Dead Boy Detectives cancelled, but it was twee even for my tastes, and on Netflix so probably doomed anyway.
    • Graveyard Book adap at Disney is dead. Deader. Oddly appropriate.

    *Except to burritos. If you're reading this, Scalzi, your crimes against God and culinary science WILL BE JUDGED.

    That's a shame because I was looking forward to an adaptation of that work terrifying generations of children to come.

  5. I don't want the EBs removed or changed. For ATs and builds that can't handle them there is a definite window where you can target them and see what is coming and run away if need be. What comes out the door should not catch anyone flat footed. Running away is ALWAYS an option.

  6. I see it like Hard Mode badges. Are they for everyone? You could argue that they are but I'll never see them because I don't group. I'm not going to argue that they shouldn't exist because some players will never see them. I can however run TFs solo. That is an accomplishment and rewarding an accomplishment with a badge doesn't mean someone else lost out.

  7. I'm a masochist. I have a BS/DA Brute. By far one of my most survivable characters once you fix the end problems (and hoo boy there were some end problems). Really fun to play. Very crunchy. The lower damage vs other sets is really only noticeable in Slice and Whirling Sword. Those could use a little boost.
