Thor: Ragnarok is Hela good.

@auspice Are you taking the MasterClass series? I'd like to know because I've floated the idea, and if this is the kind of treatment people get, I'll know I should pass.

I overheard a conversation yesterday between two co-workers, a man and a woman, with them both remarking about how the women were "using Weinstein too" for their careers. I very quietly sidled up to the man later and remarked how it didn't matter, and that sexual assault is never okay, and not a bargaining chip.

But in retrospect what also bothers me? Is the fact that it's so easy to miss the point of how this is not in any way shape or form a transaction of equals. Weinstein was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood and it was his job to develop movies, find talent, etc. He choose to utilize that job as a way to get his rocks off at the behest of the women he knew he could take advantage of. I basically want to shove this into the face of all the people spouting that whole "they used him too" party line.

I was briefly obsessed with this game. I made a kitsune girl fighter who had a many-tails attack.

@mietze Don't be afraid to take advantage of your friends as a resource to help you deal with this.

@thenomain Walk-and-talks in zero gee?

@coin I didn't think so, but how could I not use that gif?

@coin ...oh, did our PCs shag on the game?

I mean...

I remember Sagas.

The head wiz docked me XP because I wasn't wearing the right object-clothing for a particular adventure.

After that, I was pretty much out.

@the-tree-of-woe If I'm being honest, I could cite myself in that situation. I played a character on 1963, brought someone on board to play my character's betrothed/spouse (they are one of Marvel's big pairings), who proceeded to get involved with another character. I was Not Pleased, and my initial reaction was grossly inapropriate. Staff did have a word with me about it, reminding me that the format meant people could take their characters in any direction.

While there was frustration because I had invited the other player with specific intent, I did not have the right to be an asshole about it. I gave myself a hard, long look, didn't feel like I could maintain a presence on the game without that frustration getting the better of me, and chose to quit. I didn't want to put myself in a situation where that behavior might become worse.

My main regret is that I probably lost a friend, re: the player I recruited. We'd played on another game previously and had a really great time.

Well, boo.

@collective There used to be a MU* called I-Spy with that theme, unfortunately I don't think it lasted very long.

Apparently the very, very outdated wiki is still there, though!

@coin It is a party of Matt Nix people, true, he's the showrunner so surpriiiiiiise.

Unfortunately (well, fortunately for her, because work is good), Anwar's tied up over on ABC, being the new baddie on Once Upon A Time.

I actually really like the Gifted. It's my favorite of the new shows this season thus far.

Kevin Conroy = Best Batman.

FITE ME.

@lithium I think both Dark Matter and Killjoys are good prospects for settings.

@mietze I have a hard time reconciling MZB's works with her horrible RL past these days. There are some artists I can separate from their work, but she's not one of them.

I know what you mean, though. Holy crap that would be some significant histrionics.

Hey all, I recently got invited to check out Dystopia Rising, whichis a zombie post-apocalyptic society LARP that's apparently national and well net-worked. I like the premise, and there are people willing to hold my hand through getting myself involved.

Has anyone played? Can you relate your experiences, good or bad?

Hey smart-ass, if you want to have a conversation between yourself and your sister via Facebook, use messenger and don't post on a public wall where anyone can reply.

Mind you, if someone replies in a way that you don't like, you can ask them to stop, but don't get huffy that they butted in on a publically accessible forum unless they refuse your polite request for them to go away.
