Did none of them see “Silence of the Lambs”? Trump spent months blathering about Hannibal Lecter, you would think they would have looked it up.

There’s even some old-fashioned transphobia in the movie, you’d think they’d be all over that.

I was so annoyed by this as a child. The Carrier has five dots. The Battleship has four. The Carrier is thus clearly better, so why is the game called “Battleship”.

As an adult I know the Destroyer is best because it’s hardest to hit, but that just makes the Battleship comparatively even worse.

On the other hand, that may actually have been preferable over Trump himself making those decisions

“Used lemon“ is an interesting turn of phrase

Particularly after watching “The Great”

I think we can attribute that one to Sir Ian McKellen being so iconic with his portrayal

Between him, Hugh Jackman, and Patrick Stewart, Marvel really owes a debt to that casting director

TBH, the original’s cult-classic status means that any possible sequel was always going to have a number of people complaining that it didn’t measure up. Still, if Bloodlines 1 took cues from Deus Ex, Bloodlines 2 is more like Dishonored. Very different.

I liked it a LOT, but there are two caveats to that recommendation. First, I am very favorably inclined to VTM games of any kind. And second, you need to know in advance that it is very different mechanically from the original Bloodlines. 1/

“Thiel” and “Sulzberger” explain a lot, potentially

I get it, TBH. They took their shot in WW1, it shattered their empire and ended their time as a major power, and they just went “Welp, GG, think I’m done with wars after that.”

Not meant to be derogatory! They’re in good company.

And just for extra irony, even the Helen-Paris-Menelaus story is really NOT about “alpha males”.

Doesn’t matter whether you go with the “Helen loved Paris” or “Paris abducted Helen“ version. Neither Paris nor Menelaus come off well in either; they’re instantly upstaged and pitied/scorned.

I can’t imagine any job that could be worth voluntarily doing that to your face. This isn’t just “having a little work done”, it’s cartoonish enough I think it could fairly be called disfigurement.

TBH I don’t think there needs to be. Any dark cloud over his image is a good thing.

I think my favorite example of this was a post-hookup goody bag. Snacks, bottle of water, cab fare, home STD & pregnancy tests (just in case).

I don’t think it was meant to be serious, and it doesn‘t seem to have caught on as far as I know, but I laughed.

The big problem is that any war directed by Trump & Friends is guaranteed to be a disaster.

He bombs random fishing boats for fun. He’s not going to care about propping up a successor government or containing the humanitarian crises that come with war; he just wants to see stuff go boom.
