I wish you'd named it Totally Unnecessary Messenger System.

Cause I need TUMS.

I have to concur. Please address this issue.

Most of WoD is on SALE on drivethrough RPG. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/rpg_systemsale.php

@thenomain I think in general it is a net positive. Many people may not have liked the angry and frothy manner in which it was done, and yeah there was at times a tenancy to dogpile and tear people apart over the littlest thing (something that I do think has become less of a thing on MSB and as many of us have grown) i think that this communities intolerance of staff cheating and bullshit is an incredibly good thing.

@thenomain Motorcycles. My apartment complex has limited space for parking that isnt in Narnia, so everyone in the complex tries to part right under my apartment.

Recently there has been a motorcycle, a tiny one, and the owner parks it WAAAY up in the space, so that you dont see it till yer already trying to park. It takes up like 1/5 of the whole space. Fuck you motorcycle person.

@ganymede Yeah i too am losing weight rapidly, in the form of liquid being expelled from my person.

Start healthier diet with the wife, both of us determined to eat better, and now that summer is 'over' and the apartment complex pool is colder, we join the gym to continue the progress...

2 days in, I am sick as all get out.

@skew That is cool as fuck. WANT

This kinda shit's been going on for over a decade in WoW and other MMO's. New Gear means some people will pay top dollar for any advancement, even if it will be obsolete in less than a month. Also the group leader with low ilvl recruiting for a group with high ilvl to carryt hem is classic. Hell i did that shit back in the day. I mean as long as yer open about it.

That toll thing is hilarious and probably should be reported. I would report the fuck out of it.

Wow, sometimes i miss you, but i wont go back.

@admiral I'm not sure i agree. Not 100% at least.. hip hop has room for white artists, Eminem comes immediately to mind, as do the Beastie Boys. Macklamore hasn't attempted to co-opt black culture, he's come up pretty legit and he raps from his own experience. It's not like Elvis straight up stealing black music. There is a huge difference between the two. If anything, I imagine white artists have a hell of a time getting recognition in the hip hop community.

@admiral said in What the fuck happened to Hip-Hop?:

@Wretched The talent is there. The message is there. People just ignore it for something they can dance to.

It's also one of those conversations that's kinda weird to me. 'Where is all the hip hop with a message?'

Where is all the Black Metal with a positive message?
Where is all the Industrial with a positive message?
Where is all the X-kinda music with a positive message?

I have a lot of respect for Run DMC, but it also reminds me of the puritanical parents when I was growing up talking about the devil music. Sure a lot of Hip Hop these days (and since like NWA) 'glorifies' the street life, but it also holds up a mirror to it. I mean listening to songs about selling dope and capping fools has just about as much influence on me as Songs about Eating people, Shutting up and Swallowing, And Crack + Anal Sex. (tho to be fair, the last one, Leonard Cohen is my most Idolized musician ever)

Lets look at some Rock and Roll classics.

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey we got your disease

it's been a thing in music since like forever.

We also have mainstream artists like Macklamore rapping about gay love and the horrors of drug use and the cult of Nike.

Edit: AND ANOTHER THING: There's also a movement in hiphop artists this day addressing subjects like suicide and depression.

@thugheaven

Yeah I mean 'hip hop with a message' still exists. Logic, Hopsin, Donald Glover, the aforementioned Kendrick, Dead pres (okay older but still) even Drake from time to time, but man if I wanna get high and just groove? Gimme them Migos, and Rae Sremmurd, and Night Lovell, and Jazz Cartier... Sure sometimes the content isn't exactly original (Drugs pussy, guns) but the talent is real.

Disenchanted.

I didn’t care for it at first, and probably wouldn’t have kept watching past the first two episodes, but keep watching past the first two episodes.

There are a lot of people that are 'meh' about it, or hate it, but I really enjoyed it. I think a lot of people were expecting Futurama in Middle Earth, it's got it's own grooove and storytelling style, I'm looking forward to more, esp after the cliffhanger ending.
