r/The_Donald definitely started as satire. But as with all communities that only allow satire, they kept going until people couldn’t tell who was serious anymore and it eventually became entirely serious. Same with r/GamersRiseUp.

It also has the opportinity cost of the viewer not getting first party ads or giving tracking data. Even with these things, though, it’s still nowhere near what they’re charging.

Also, fuck ads and tracking data.

As much as this warning is probably totally fair, the amount of irony in the US warning about arbitrary law enforcement and wrongful detention is very funny to me.

If it’s nothing like them, that does make me wonder why it’s named as the third in the series instead of something different entirely like the game itself is.

Sure, Dark Alliance has almost nothing to do with the BG CRPGs other than the setting. But it also wasn’t named as a direct sequel to them, either.

And I get the corporate reasons for it. But I think those reasons are stupid if the game actually has nothing to do with the games it’s supposed to be a direct sequel to.

Really enjoyed this section of the manga, so I’m definitely excited to see it all animated. First episode was, as others have already said, top notch, so this is looking to be a banger of a season.

Looks like I’ve kept my avatar for so long that it’s looped back around into being relevant again. Nice.

It’s interesting to me that we could already see the signs of some of this just based on what they defined to break the VTT-specific rules of the OGL update, which was anything that had effects that made it too video-game-y. Showed they fundamentally misunderstood what VTTs are for and do six months ago, and it seems that hasn’t changed.

Also, the 2nd edition one is arguably the lightest skin tone here.
