But he sold it

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Christ, what an asshole.

Fun and completely unsurprising fact: this is already the case with Ronald Reagan. He's buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which charges admission.

These people never stop grifting, even in death.

I've had "When Will You Die" by They Might Be Giants in regular rotation.

We'll exhale, we'll high-five

We will know at last how great it is to be alive

We'll be lining up and buying tickets

And then we'll be jumping up and down on your grave

Sorry, this is the first I've heard of Palantir Gotham.

Jesus Christ, I hate media-illiterate nerds. Batman, famously, DOESN'T TRUST COPS!

He died as he lived: blaming systemic issues and right-wing violence on minorities.

There's a good movie in there, spread thinly over three. Like butter scraped over too much bread...

Seeing Copilot in Notepad of all places is what finally made me quit Windows for good.

 

What makes it your favorite? Do you want to play it? If so, what's keeping you from doing it?

For me, it's Burning Wheel.

I bought it purely based on aesthetics back in 2008ish, then got the supplements, then Gold, then Gold Revised, with the Codex, and the anthology...

I blame it for my weakness for chunky, digest-sized, hardcover RPGs. :P I also like the graphic design, I like the prose (even if it's divisive), and it has both interesting lessons you can plug into other games (like "let it ride," letting success or failure stand instead of making lots of little rolls) and arcane systems that pique my interest (like the Artha cycle, which makes roleplay, metacurrency, skill rolls, and advancement all intersect). I genuinely like reading it for its own sake.

I haven't played it because... well, since it's not D&D, that immediately makes it harder to get people interested, sadly. It's also a bit daunting, given its reputation as a crunchy system. But I have a group of players interested in trying new things, and fewer other games calling for my attention, so hopefully I'll get a chance soon. :)
