Unlike many other multiplayer genres, it’s the easiest thing in the world to play competitive fighting games without the One Big Tournament. It’s one on one. There are so many ways to supplant and replace EVO, so there’s no reason to be loyal to it

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

I understand why people stay on services that suck but not Spotify. There’s so many other platforms that are 1-to-1 the same but with less garbage if not objectively better.

Guy says "you can totally run a murder mystery in D&D!" and then when asked how, they describe a freeform improv roleplay session where they occasionally randomly sat down to fight some monsters in empty square rooms (the only thing you actually do in D&D 5e) between events
Criticizing D&D for anything is the most frustrating thing in the world because talking to the system's ardent defenders is like talking to an insane person
"If you don't like it you can just houserule it to be different" Why would I not just? Play a different game?
