@derp said in Roster Characters & WoD?:
Do you write another carbon copy of that character?
It does have an honored history in RPGs. We've all heard the stories of the time Bob the Barbarian died in combat with an elf, so he was avenged by his long-lost twin brother Rob the Bob-barian or whatever.
@buttercup Maybe Liberation? I dunno, I didn't check, but I feel like someone mentioned them somewhere in that giant thread complaining about the game.
The link above is broken for me, so here's an alternative.

Sad times.
When you buy one of those handy pre-portioned bags of broccoli and cauliflower for that bean salad you like to make, get it home, and notice it expired a month before you bought the goddamn thing.
@cobalt I'm choosing to ignore all the terrible things in that story to glad the kid has such a thoughtful gran, and that the kid is apparently able to eat (when I had COVID, I slept too much to eat a pizza).
As I try to clean the things that can happen to a toilet when no men live in the house to periodically lift the seat and expose what's going on down there, I am forced to conclude that my stance on gay rights has been wrong this whole time and the Bible was right.
@cobalt Words seem insufficient. I'm so sorry. I hope for the best.
@eye8urcake Just to be clear, have you asked your son if he cares if you return fire, should they start something? I ask because I don't know if he'd get vicarious pleasure out of that.
@ganymede We believe in you, and we're honored you trust us enough to drop the persona. I hope we reward that trust with the acceptance and support you need.
@arkandel said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
What I don't know how to interpret is in terms of the political climates (in 2012), what it meant for the gender roles in those nations, what the root causes were or for that matter why the enormous disparities existed between countries basically neighboring each other. And certainly that gap between East and Western Europe... damn.
I don't know how anyone could interpret that from this image that seems to exist only to be shocking rather than informative.
That's not to dismiss the male suicide rates, because I hope it goes without saying they're horrible and we need to do more to help suicidal men. I just mean this infographic seems downright irresponsible unless it was clipped from some larger piece that provides more context and analysis.

I clocked out and left. And tbh I don't know if I still have a job or not, but I'm sitting in my car shaking. Pissed.
I'm not saying you should put yourself through the stress of any legal proceedings or anything like that, but if you did decide to mount a legal defense, it sounds like you have a case; especially if any of this is documented.
But regardless of my revenge fantasies against your manager, whom I would like to see terrible things happen to, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. I hope it gets resolved quickly and in a way that teaches your manager to respect employees.
@de-villefort Okay, thanks. That was how I took it, sort of like how I took it back when I learned that what we currently think of as cowboys were mostly not white people.
@icanbeyourmuse Oh, okay. I thought they were saying the game did a bad.
@de-villefort Maybe I'm being thick here, but that to me just sounds educational. What am I missing?
My vaguely related peeve is, I will never, ever stop thinking Wellbutrin is the generic form of Coumadin even though I should know better by now.
@ganymede said in RL things I love:
"This man smelled like Marlboro cigarettes, four shots of Everclear, and regret."
Is there a difference between being trustworthy and being an effective communicator with good interpersonal skills, though? Like, I'd never lie to my players or show favoritism among them, but I'm also a complete clown who can barely express a thought without fucking it up somewhere in the journey from brain to tongue.
@macha said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
Do they not know how hard it is for a woman to get taken seriously by a doctor?
I wonder if that's why I don't bother going to the doctor.
