Unless you and an SO have started chipping away at that sacred time with quick questions, until one day you find yourself trying to poop and them coming in repeatedly to ask you questions.

On the upside, I did get to use the phrase "can't a man take one good shit in peace?" so it evens out.

Yeah, don't come between and my bathroom time. The wife knows that only calamities shake me off my worship of the Porcelain Goddess.

The MRA's one thing is that the law largely ignores non-injury violence, including sexual violence, against men by women. Which is bullshit, because the law is really ignoring non-injury violence by all people, it's just that women are much less likely to injure people when being violent. They really have no point at all.

That thing where they don't want to have to support the children they abandon? And their argument is basically that women have the uterus? Misogynistic Ranting Assholes.

Bloody in-universe style pages, won't somebody help? By which I mean, there's not a lot of neutral POV to be said about Wemics. They're a lion-centaur used as innocuous page-filler from the very start.

Well, it turns out if you put a board-games, card-games, and minis-games guy in charge of writing an edition of D&D, he turns it into a minis-on-a-small-board-with-card-powers-game.

RPGs: 2000, co-designer of Monsters of Faerun. 2001, co-author of FRCS. 2008, lead designer of 4e D&D. Nothing between. How could that possibly work?

Inspired by the recent proceedings in the Pokeymans thread, I decided to maybe look into playing pokeymans. I read the stuff on wikipedia, and I still have no fucking idea how it's played (except that it requires a DS/3DS, which was posted in the thread, so thanks for nothing, wikipedia).

IMHO, an emulator on the android phone works much better than an actual gameboy/DS.

But really, the games are pretty much MegaTen ripoff - you walk around the world, enslave foul demons that infest the land, and bring fear of god into your opponents with a complex combat mechanic the roots of which lie in the ancient game of RPS.

The only piece of advice I have to give is: Don't start with Black/White or Black2/White2.

Start with HeartGold/SoulSilver instead. Or Crystal (which is my personal all time favorite) if you're feeling super retro. (Of course, the latter would require a GBC or GBA...)

Occasionally, I run across a Chinese character (or something that looks like it) and want to know what it means...

So I love this site that lets you draw the character, and then finds and translates it for you (there's even a button that lets you hear how it's pronounced).
