@Arkandel This 'analysis' brought to you by Dragon Age: Inquisition

Blackwall: Dorian, I can't believe you drank that swill at the tavern.
Dorian: I can't believe they served that swill at the tavern. What is Skyhold coming to?
Blackwall: Then why did you drink it?
Dorian: I couldn't stop. With each sip, it was, "it can't be that bad, can it?" Before I knew it, I was analyzing the nuances of its flavor, observing its effect on my nausea. I was in a catatonic trance, fueled by the stench of disgusting dwarven ale.
Blackwall: Or you're a drunkard with terrible taste.
Dorian: There is that.

Edited to add:
What I mean by this is that it seems to be a rather... intrinsic thing with most media is that people will always consume something. Even if it's 'terrible.' We MUers are much the same, we'll play (nearly) anything so long as it exists. Make it and they will come, good or bad.

@Lain That is an incredibly fucking stupid thing to require.

@WTFE We're using our time travel ability for shitposting purposes.

@Auspice See? Moody.

@Auspice Disagree.

@Ganymede Mmm, true. There are times that I hate how ambiguous English can be. There's probably a word in Mandarin for it.

@Ganymede I was thinking about using 'birthright.'

@Aria There really needs to be a more specific word for that kind of privilege. I'm certainly not saying you're wrong, of course, but to the uninitiated privilege is something for rich people that get handed everything and literally do not have to work for it. So to hear that they have some kind of privilege is most definitely insulting.

Sure, they are getting handed something that means they don't need to work to the same level as people without it, but it's an intangible thing and people are really hard at grasping intangible concepts.

@ShelBeast I am unable to connect also.

@Pondscum Sure. It wasn't what he said though, it was how he said it. It definitely appeared to be more bragging than simple revelation.

@Pondscum Given what she actually said, it looks like she does know that.

The point she was making, if I am reading correctly, was that she was talking about a film and comparing its style to another film. The other person took this chance to bring up that they'd read all of Chaucer aloud... because apparently reading Chaucer aloud is somehow an accomplishment. The two aren't related.

@Catsmeow I got an email from Coin. Apparently he has come into the possession of a large sum of money for which I have been nominated trustee after something happened to a long-lost uncle in Nigeria...

@Apos I both hate and love you.

@mietze My partner named their cat 'Taco' with absolutely no idea that 'Taco cat' is a palindrome. And they have no idea why I'm so jazzed at the name.

If an In Character action would have no entertainment value for anyone but myself, I don't do it. The character makes excuses, and the like, because fun is more important than 'progress' or whatever.

It depends on the oven, of course. The drawer under mine is a grill.

@surreality

She loves me really.

@Auspice True, I don't deal with kindergarteners.
