[D&D: HAT]

Yet another pair of thumbs for for D&D: HAT ( ), now that was rollicking good fun.
Tight, self contained high fantasy guff that really doesn't outstay it's welcome. Have absolutely no affinity for the broader IP but I'm glad this was made.

Would we also include Fridays appearance in Casualties of War (Prog 900) as 'time travel'?
Admittedly it's been some 10 years since I read it so likely forgetting some wibbly-wobbly aspects.

Can't wait for the Rise of Skywalker Redux, where a hastily shot insert scene is added of Poe mumbling into his own hand to further elaborate on how the emperor returned.

Project Lazarus sadly will not replace my personal canon for what Palpatine was up to for nearly four decades.

Oh, and yeah. Mando S3 is pretty enjoyable stuff, glad I gave it another shot after being thoroughly disenchanted with S2.

Not having a great one folks. Funny, yesterday was all sunshine and rainbows, felt fantastic.
And today I just feel like the most loathsome sack of wasted cum on the planet, and everything sucks.

Wonder if I should get myself tested, it surely isn't normal to experience such sudden, frequent, and violent shifts in mood.

It was always nice to hear from John back when I had FB, hope he's doing well and continues writing whatever the hell it is that takes his fancy at any given moment, for the prog or otherwise.

Very much a fan of the short stories. Not always successful but a fun addition to the prog/meg as a sort of experiment, but then I am a mark for that sort of thing.

Always relish a Davis cover, and though by no means in his top 10 I do appreciate how 2377 manages to say so much with so little.

Just an as aside - "That-Which-Cannot-be-Mentioned" already got a thread locked because of a stubborn refusal to drop the subject. Please don't bang that drum on this thread because I quite like this house and I don't want it set on fire. Take your arson elsewhere. Please. I do my very best to avoid interacting with you on the board - but you seem determined to follow me around and bang your little drum. Please - it's a big house - with just a little effort it could seem like we're not even in the same one. Please.

Noted and for my part (and many sins) apologise.

Well, that's where you have me at a disadvantage. I have no idea about the intentions of the framers, I'm just going off what it actually says. Guessing at intentions is an entirely different argument, one in which I do not wish to engage.

Unless it's about your entirely hypothetical connections between gender affirmation therapy and vaccine conspiracy theories, of course.

If I were to apply it to my own hobby-horse of creeping totalitarianism I would say that it opens the door another inch on something like the following scenario:

Let's say that That-Which-Cannot-be-Mentioned II arises. The "government" mandates Procedure X for TWCbM II. Some parents disagree and refuse to undergo Procedure X for them or their children. The parents are deemed to be endangering their children. Their children are taken into care, becoming "protected individuals," who can then be tricked, convinced, or coerced into accepting Procedure X.

But that's not my argument here. My argument is that cherry-picking the age of consent differently for different things is not logical but is dangerous.

Anyone else think it's incredibly funny Shark entirely denies the existence of government, right up until they pass a piece of legislation that happens to vaguely correspond with whatever contrary opinion he holds at that moment, subject to his entirely erratic moral compass.

It really is rather exhausting.

USA == weird death cult.

I know we're far from as gun free a nation as I would like us to be (being the resident Manc that I am, experienced more than my fare share of gangland shootings) but it is quite nice knowing there's a decent chunk of our society that is actively repulsed at the idea of even handling a weapon, let alone owning one and making it readily available to school kids.

Just a wholly alien concept.

I just want to pass my personal condolences to Michael Carroll for his lost of his dad on the 3rd of April. Always sad news to loose someone close to you.

Ah no, deepest condolences to Michael and his. By no means an easy time to go through, hope he is holding together all right.

If in doubt, just assume the teacher(s) where Bad Bob Booth Bros.

Crikey, was also the production designer for The Return to Oz, so I have Norman Reynolds to thank for years of trauma (and subsequent inspiration).

The wonders of the unsung vital cogs who make the movie industry machine run, not a bad legacy mind.

2) There's 6 stars on the flag. Who're the six stars? MC-1, MC-2, TC,... Vegas? and... Isn't there something called Uranium City? Though I have no idea what that is.

If we're assuming some of the comic colonies are at least established in the '12 universe, we can't rule out off world settlements.
