The Gaming Den

Not really a loophole. If someone is convicted of a crime that includes jail time (like robbing a bank) they may also have civil penalties (like restitution). The bank probably doesn't care how many years someone stays behind bars but does care about getting the money back. These can be handled toge...

Expanding from the nature of an adoptive relationship, I think that it opens up some possible dialog about what it means to be in a 'toxic relationship'. One of the things that I put a lot of store in is evaluating criticism. If someone is invested in your success and wants good things for you, thei...

Over the past month I took the kids (16, 12, 8) to two movies: Kung Fu Panda 4 (72% on Rotten Tomatoes) and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (45% on Rotten Tomatoes). Since they're both sequels I wanted to talk about both of them. The following may have some spoilers. Ghostbusters I like Ghostbusters (19...

It's been a month since it became clear that, barring any major health changes, 2024 would be another Trump versus Biden rematch. With months to go most polls tell us that voters just aren't tuned in or following things closely - which is totally normal. Since most voters know both candidates from 4...

While the image source is embedded in the images and can be seen easily by anyone quoting your response, I'm a little wary of having this posted without attribution. Source.

I'd like to thank you, too! Especially with extra hoops to jump through to post I know it was a lot to track everything. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one.

Are you able to answer questions about the book for sections we didn't explore? I'm most curious - if we hadn't paid the giant in food it would have been a more difficult fight but he would have agreed to a favor if defeated him (ie whether we bribed him or not had no bearing on his willingness to h...

I think we should use the Potion of Power for Tideus (+2 Attack +3 Stamina). This is probably the last battle, so we should use the Greater Healing Potion (+5 Stamina) for ourselves, as well as one of the Potions of Power (+2 Attack). Finally, if we can, we should use Fire Oil (3 stamina damage) on ...

I can see the "In the Trenches" forum in the main section (both when I am logged in and logged out), but when I click it, I get redirected to a link with the address http: //www.tgdmb.com/phpBB3/500.shtml with the "The requested page could not be found." error, which occurs when...

I think giving him the hovers is the only meaningful way to move forward.

Zherog has been alerted. I don’t know how long it will take for him to figure something out, but I know he's aware and will do what he can. Edit - If it helps Link to [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms . Zherog is smarter than me but it occurs to me to ask - when you're logged out ...

I want to say great, but obviously it's not. The fact that it's repeatable across browsers means it should be something that can be investigated and hopefully solved.

I can't see the In the Trenches forum. I can see every other forum (as you can see from the fact that I'm posting in this one). I can see the individual threads in In the Trenches if I go straight to a URL for one of them that I already have. But clicking on In the Trenches gets me, "The reque...

That was my intention, yes. Bring Vizigg the Candle.

I'd prefer to turn the black candle quest item in immediately, but I think I'm outvoted.

Random lever pushing always makes me think of Mystery Men.

No, I won't. I'm not particularly concerned about inaccurate descriotions of my policy preferences, and there is virtually nothing anyone on this site can do to cause me outrage.

Climb into the room above and play with mysterious technologies we can't even begin to understand!

Kitchens.

I'd like to go back to the Nimbiferous Chamber. While the page number is different, the last time we were there we had a choice about heading through the flooded passage (which we did) or going to the kitchens (which we did not do). I think that's the next order of business - maybe we can find a bla...

I believe that Israel should stop their incursion into Gaza, immediately. As far as whether or not the United States should continue providing them money or weapons and/or to what degree that depends on their willingness to stop their incursion into Gaza, immediately, it's not really as simple as ju...

We aren't talking about immigration when we're talking about Israel and Palestine, we're talking about settlers who were colonizing land and oppressing (and murdering) the people who inhabited that land! I think that's a very one-sided description of events and is inconsistent with established hist...

Goddam dude. So you don't think there's a genocide happening (just a "conflict"), and even if there were a genocide, you wouldn't approve military force to stop an ongoing genocide. What is there even left to say. No, I think the genocide is happening . I think it has been happening since...

I think we're going to have to go through that door and he can give us the codeword to do so. Let's ask about the ward.

I meant as a starting point, but sure, that's a good summation of my previous statement of 'it's complicated'. I think it's a little surprising that people on this very thread are upset about illegal immigration into the Levant from 1916 on, but argue that all immigration into the United States shou...

Yep. Twchnomancer.
