The go-to description for 5e says that Monstrosities are "frightening Creatures that are not Ordinary, not truly natural, and almost never benign" which definitely has two boxes checked and is at least ambiguous on what "truly natural" means. They also speak multiple languages and cooperate with...

In 5e they have an evil alignment and a breath weapon; they're not just bigger smarter wolves.

Oh my lord that book. If you ever want another take on a similar idea, trending a bit more towards a fairy tale than an English major's dream project, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is excellent, too.

Guess I'll look forward to that in 3 or 4 years, once the inevitable Epic exclusive ends.

Banners of Ruin is a fun little Slay the Spire-like. If that's a genre you enjoy I definitely recommend playing it for a bit to see what it has to offer.

These trailers already feel that way to me. Instead of an interesting plot, it's an endless array of "do you recognize this from the games? How about this?" Obviously lots of people are interested in that, but it's definitely not for me.

Quick look at the youtube comments says that there are a couple of buildings shown that are still there now, but that area - Granville up to Hastings starting at 2:30 - is part of Vancouver's downtown and the vast, vast majority of it has obviously been torn down and replaced a couple of times...

Yeah, if there's one thing the state of world politics shows, it's that older generations are incredibly intelligent, well-educated, and knowledgeable, right?

If you're talking about PC usage, Adblock Plus for Firefox is 100% successful at removing ads. I genuinely can't remember the last time I've had to watch one.

It's turning into a 100% default assumption that everyone has an active phone with SMS available. A decent number of Canada's government websites require it now; get fucked if you don't have a cell, I guess.

Sure. But then add the people who are unable or unwilling to critically think about their position, the people who really strongly believe in one aspect of their party's platform and are willing to say/do whatever they need to for them to win the election... Either way though, the people...

There are no gymnastics, though. The people saying those things don't believe any of it, and they're not trying to represent their actual view of the world in what they say. They're just spewing out whatever they think will win them points and get their team elected. None of it's in good faith...

Someone slap me if I ever even joke about building my own computer ever again. It's done and I didn't break anything doing it, but it's been a nightmare of one tiny problem chaining into another and I absolutely hate it. Only a whine because hey, new computer!

Okay, we're talking and she's not hurt. Obviously freaked out about it, and god knows what's going to happen with her car and whatever else they got with it, but she's safe and that's a big load off. Fuck this sucks.

My girlfriend - who lives in St. Louis while I'm in Canada, and is therefore far outside the reach of anything I could possibly do to help - just got carjacked at gunpoint. I know basically no details beyond that, except that her brother is taking her home and we're going to talk later. I'm...

Ketchup chips are a default flavour up here, most brands offer them. They're pretty good, too - kind of sweet and sharp?

I've been poking at Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark from Prime this month and...it's actually pretty good? I'm a couple of hours in and more than anything it feels like a competent homage to Final Fantasy Tactics. It's not really breaking any new ground, but it has interesting takes on difficulty...

Yeah, the whole "openly protecting sexual predators" thing was enough for me to stop supporting Ubisoft.

The literal attempted coup wasn't evidence enough for you?

Because 100% of the establishment Dems in charge of making those decisions want to maintain the status quo, not make meaningful changes to it. Helping the poors has to be done at the expense of the rich and powerful, and I don't think it's any secret which side of that line the party's...
