My prediction is that “Rebel Moon” will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future “this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess” or even “the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough” or maybe just boil down to “let people enjoy things” thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant 
propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the “propaganda has no effect on me” believers, so I predict that’ll be a struggle session.
I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat’s future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it’s hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more. 
Have I said anything that incomprehensible to you since this particular thread lately?
Just wondering if I can do a
and turn a dial while watching the audience for approval.
Nothing specific comes to mind, just “someone in X game fandom got me riled up” and even I, an inveterate g*mer, am like
Best I can do is my recent comparison between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
wrath of the righteous is really good. it’s a shame i have to use character guides for it because i Do Not know how to play pathfinder.
Pathfinder took all the convoluted perilous excessive options and choices of 3.5 D&D and then added a lot more.
yes, but that excess allowed some truly outrageous character builds that 5e just can’t hold a candle to. I’m especially proud of a damphir necromancer that ran around with the armored corpses of dire lions that soloed most of the fights the DM tried to throw at us. think he really regretted throwing those at us early on only for the cleric to go “wait, hold my beer”
i want to try it out but that means either running it myself or making someone else do it and i don’t know anyone else
I’d be tempted to invite you if my group wasn’t full to the point of having a waiting list.
nahhh i got my own tabletop issues to figure out (some folks want me to run odyssey of the dragonlords and i am Not Sure how that will go) and my old DM has been chatting me up about baldur’s gate 3 and them having a lot of “ideas” (tho idk if i want to play with them again). i appreciate the thought though ulysses maybe sometime in the future.
edit: ik i wasn’t being invited but i wanted to respond to the thought of being included
Your posting is pretty great most of the time. You’re a certified crank, every community needs one. That being said, calling one of the characters from Oppenheimer a “booba waifu” was the most
post you’ve ever made.
Emoji that at me all you want but Nolan decided to remove a lot of agency and relevance to women that contributed to essential parts of the Manhattan project, leaving mostly titillation and maudlin moments (and embellishments like “sex makes the protagonist feel like a god” when that quote came years after the moment).
You’re not wrong, you’re really not. I do think, however, that someone who hadn’t seen the movie and isn’t familiar with your posting style could have conceivably come to the conclusion that you think Katherine Oppenheimer is a “big booba waifu”. I read your comment as obviously saying that’s how Nolan portrayed her and that’s a bad thing, Nolan should be less of a misogynist ass, but again, if someone is unfamiliar with the context and your posts, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that your comment could have been (in good faith) misconstrued as saying the direct opposite to what you actually meant. (Also, it makes a really good site tagline, so thanks!)
Yeah, I think I should have worded it more carefully to specify that Nolan was reducing the historical person towards that, so that Nolan stans wouldn’t circle the wagons about their Historically Accurate But Kind Of Embellished To Pander To Nolan’s Great Man Theory, Political Beliefs, And Low-Key Misogyny BWAAAAM movie.
I happen to think “booba waifu” was an incredible encapsulation of one criticism of the movie.
Never seen the movie but I know exactly what they meant.
So much agency and relevancy was stripped from the historical person (and the movie character got stripped for titillation purposes) that I still stand by that summary even if it isn’t as delicate and precise (or not said at all) than some Nolan fans prefer.
I support your protracted people’s war against the treats. But in all due respect, and don’t take this personally, I think it comes across a little Quixotic sometimes because you make references to previous arguments where the person you’re talking about is nowhere to be found in the thread, so it just looks like fighting windmills from an outsider perspective.
I haven’t done that in a while, actually. Even if I feel it did apply and was relevant I got too much shit for it.
I suppose there will be a few more months of people like you tilting at the windmills about me tilting at the windmills, no matter what I do.

They eventually absorbed one another’s roles through sheer exposure, too.
Having had no idea wtf rebel moon is, this post did come off very
or maybe BMF-lite. But after you explained that detail it fell into place.
Normally it’s not that there’s any trouble understanding you, just that your posts come off far more intensely than I have ever felt about the topics in question. Which is a good thing, mind, they’re always fun
I blame a sort of allergic reaction that I got from being too exposed to Reddit-style false politeness and wishy-washy statements.
