We do what we must because we can.

Is this a reference to A Feast For Crows?

Outlawed, yes, but that doesn’t preclude their use by nefarious interests.

Want.

As a necromancer fighting unit, the skeleton is easy to tear apart, so their tactic is to ambush or overwhelm with numbers and hit you with weapons before you can disable them. So they’re best against unarmored opponents.

Archers might be more dangerous if they are strong enough to pull a war bow like a longbow.

Clever necromancers will make bone molds and craft critical bones out of ceramic or bronze or steel in order to make more resiliant units, but these often require different animation spells. Some expeimentation has been done with bone powder and ceramic.

Travel bidets are cheap and effing brilliant.

According to my proctologist, Americans wreck their hemorrhoids with overzealous wiping, mine included. Dab only,

And get a bidet. A travel bidet, of you can’t install a permanent one.

ROCK AND RULE AND STONE!

Sorta. Yeah. But my point was people didn’t generally go as a character or a thing, rather just a hodge-podge generic bogey. There were exceptions, and some pretty creative costume ideas.

Strongly implied. Yes.

…gets turned into a femboy…

…gets a turn with a femboy…

The Golgafrincham jokes in the comments restore a little of my hope for humanity.

I personally know a Liz for which this is true. 🦎

I’ve sooooo been thinking about this specific comic a lot lately.

This also works with racist / cultural jokes.

ETA The problem jokes that capitalize on racist stereotypes tend to be cringe, and not good cringe (like puns).

Oh wow, and I thought we were being all civil and stuff. Have a block.

I write paragraphs about everything, though. It’s how I communicate in internet forums. It’s a consequence of doing a lot of compulsive research and being ASD. I also have weird takes, and am expected to explain them. It’s a phenomenon not particular to movies.

Yes. Sometimes it’s tl;dr for some folk but others seem to appreciate it.

Sorry if it bothers you enough that you have to shut me out of your circles.

My experience in becoming a gamer is to graduate from Parker Brothers family tabletop games to Steve Jackson wargames to Dungeons and Dragons which was declared Satanic by the moral guardians.

So yep.

Behind the Bastards recent two-parter on The Masculinity Crisis pointed out that the Gamergate controversy really was about gamers who found their only man space was gaming getting upset as the market opened up to women and other non-dude-bros. (I was quietly playing Gone Home at the time not understanding what the big deal was.) Then Steve Bannon whipped them into a voting bloc and got Trump elected (with a popular minority but the EC) and now we’re all sorry.

Ubisoft is not a serious game publisher, rather is a racketeering company that uses gaming software as a vehicle for its monetization schemes.

It’s also a sex harassment and assault den for its upper management to prey on its clerical staff, and its HR notoriously covers for them.

I no longer play the Ubisoft games for which I have licenses, and I say this as an old fan of the Far Cry series. No longer.

Ubisoft needs to fail enough to get liquidated and bought out, I expect, by another AAA publisher gone amuck or a private equity management company. In either case, may Ubisoft assets load them down like a neutron star.

I have to admit the Ferguson Unrest of 2014 and the rhetoric about Michael Brown being a thug really changed my mind about Batman, for whom even his games highlight mobs ( mobiles or game artifacts that move) as thugs. And this led to Garth Ennis’ observation that Batman is a billionaire aristocrat who beats up poor people

Then again Supergenius Reed Richards could never cure HIV and T’Challa / Black Panther, King of Wakanda and captain of the vibranium industry can’t ever do enough to elevate non-whites in the US and in industrialized nations. I digress.

Getting back to Batman, I wonder if the white thugs Batman usually preyed on were Italians and Irish, who had to spend a century in the barrel before they were given white privilege.

I do. Wait…are you gatekeeping enjoying movies?
