Also, punk lesbian Acanthus are canon.

British punk lesbian Acanthi are canon. And cool.

Anyone else? Posers.

Manhattan: Highest percentage of punk lesbians per capita in a Pentacle assembly in the United States.

Maybe.

Maybe all the guys are boring.

@surreality said in Good TV:

Supergirl gives me pain. At least its presentation of feminism does ...

I don't mind it.

Not every superheroine just marches in, sword and shield, and completely out bad-asses the boys the movie's named after.

@Sunny said in Good TV:

I so totally second or third or w/e the statement about Luke Cage.

I'm not.

I like it. I really do. But it's slower than Jessica Jones, and not nearly as entertaining or witty as Daredevil. And, yes, I'm going to say it: the acting isn't as sharp.

But it's still better than a lot of the movies.

@Roz said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

This is a very SERIOUS and SINCERE complaint about Leo's TERRIBLE PLAYER.

I played Leo on Fallcoast briefly. I do not play Leo on Arx.

That is all.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

As I mentioned to a friend yesterday morning: "I need coffee this morning like the debate tonight will need a laugh track. These are the only ways I think I may survive either."

Laugh track? It needed a sad trombone.

@Ominous said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

Sometimes the story is the story of the world, not the hero.

Yes, but this makes for a very shitty video game.

@Sunny said in RL Anger:

Is this worth a family brawl? Is it?

If my family wants me to treat them like functional adults, they should heed what I say when I say it.

So, yeah. Unfriend them. If they bitch, tell them that there are no exceptions for family for many things, including laws prohibiting murder.

@Thenomain said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

AFTER they ended the Bloght so fast that people disbelieved that it happened. Duh they are special

Your mom is special.

@Thenomain said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

As one of the last two Grey Wardens in Ferelden, even with an old treaty you have to lick the boots of pretty much every group who signed just to get them to agree. And the only group who has any respect for you by title are the Dwarves. You're only one step above nobody.

You're still a Warden right after the prelude, and that means something. In DA2, you're still just Hawke until you save Kirkwall from the Qunari. It's pretty clear in DA2 that Wardens are looked on with awe and suspicion, which sort of supports the theory that they are speshul.

@Kanye-Qwest said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

I was also a big fan of DA2. Not for the gameplay, dear god, but I loved that it was just this scumbag and her scumbag friends, forced to muddle through a lot of crazy bullshit.

And that's why I liked Mass Effect. Sure, you have an earth-shattering reputation, but once you ally with Cerberus, you become scum who mingles with other scum to do shit that needs to get done.

And that's why I liked The Last of Us. "We're shady people, Joel, it's been that way for a long time now."

DA:O and DA:I? You so super-special, yes you are. Warden or Inquisitor. But in DA2? You're Hawke, who only gets recognized after saving the city from someone attempting a genocide.

@Thenomain said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

I don't think DA2 is gritty because its attempts to be gritty fail.

I think you fail.

Forget about your sibling: your mother dies in a horrible, random way. There's no rhyme or reason to it; it just happens because your mother tried to find a bit of happiness in the world.

The little, adorable elf-girl? She gets to murder her entire clan in a pointless pursuit.

Emo-elf? He murders his sister because she wanted a better life for herself. And if you decide to side with the oppressed mages? You may have to kill the fuck out of him. (Granted, this isn't as gritty as it is enjoyable because fuck Fenris, the worst character ever.)

The Magistrate's son? A pedophile.

The bouncy, sex-pot? Betrays the fuck out of you, and is the cause for half the city going up in flames at the hands of a pissed-off Arishok who just wants his fucking book so he can leave the shit-hole he's forced to stay in.

The rebel with a cause? An abomination that succumbs to madness and sets off the genocide of mages.

The ne'er-do-well dwarf rogue? Nearly gets you killed, and then has to kill his brother.

Dude, I know you weren't a huge fan of DA2, but there's no way in Andraste's twat that you could find it less gritty than the flim-flam pansy human noble storyline in DA:O. About the only reason I gave a shit about Morrigan's self-centered whining is because I wanted to eat her out, and, when that wasn't possible, I went with the loose-and-easy bard.

@Ghost said in The 100: The Mush:

You know what the fifth stage of grief is?!?!?

Uncle ClownSex's Magical Leather Basement

FUCK YOU.

How dare you impugn my basement?

(I laughed so hard I scared the roomkeeper; I'm at a conference in a hotel room, dying.)

@Auspice said in RL Anger:

'You have the tastes of a lonely fat girl. I bet you even like Star Wars. Dune is better.'

I'm pretty sure that Hipster Central, aka Rotten Tomatoes, disagrees with this person.

@Thenomain said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

The Qun is meant to be the Islam analogue, in a rough way.

That's fine, but it's not even close. As I said, the mindset of assimilation is very close to how Islamic regimes operated in the Middle Ages, but the idea of "everyone to their role" is closer to Stalinist communism.

@Ghost said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

It's the ultimate, alien logic. It's a computer without computation. Goals are achieved through direct action, and there is no need for underhanded tactic. Set on a task, complete the task, continue on.

It is communism.

It is Dr. Sheldon Cooper.

@Thenomain said in Dragon Age: Dread Wolf's Rise:

... there are humans, elves, dwarves, and dragon people as Kind Of But Not Really Muslims.

How on Earth did you see the Qunari as muslim?

Sure, I suppose you can see their assimilation of other people as indicative of the old Islamic regimes in the Middle Ages, but there is a certain kind of zen-idealism and communist rhetoric to them that I adore.

The Arishok is pretty much my hero, and my go-to- when it comes to my villainous PCs. Because they are very likable villains, until you realize they are Lawful Evil.

@Arkandel said in RL things I love:

Cut until you hate life, bulk until you hate yourself.

I'm really going to hate myself soon, because I've cut alcohol out completely.

@Cupcake said in RL Anger:

Unfortunately in my state, pedestrians have automatic right-of-way, even if they're not in a crosswalk.

I think I remember you living in a state run by gibbering retards, or something.
