The Gaming Den

The last champ who came out that I know things about is...Jhin I think? I played briefly while Camille (sp?) was a thing but she was banned every game so I never actually played in a game with her. Now there's some guy with a scythe who can walk through walls, a support with a weird knockup, and Mao...

I've taken quite the break for League, but I'm getting back into it now. Unfortunately I didn't maintain one game a month so I've decayed a bit, but climbing back to Diamond should be fun and my Flex rank has fallen so much that I can actually play with my friends on my main account! Oh lord the new...

You lack historical perspective, apparently. 'All of recorded history' is a lot of times and places, and in most times and places people mostly got along with their 'in-group' without violence or the threat of it. Laws to help 'keep the peace' were part of it. I think you can find plenty of example...

People in power preaching non-violence often do not want violence. It's actually a pretty good deal to run a thing without having to be violent toward the members of that thing all the time, or ever. ... Odds are totally best if you bet on the people calling for peace, really. So long as they're no...

Before the Nazis actually obtained any political power, back when they were just a bunch of yahoos plotting to overthrow the government, the SS would stage pro-Nazi rallies in predominately Communist communities. Which of course led to communists trying to beat them up. The big brawls between the S...

For the base classes, I think they should, but in case some bizarre prestige class has mechanics which require a nerf to caster level, the term should be changed. Casters of X level should all have X competency in casting. That's probably what level-based systems should do, right? Being a SwordCast...

Yeah, that's completely different, in case you think slavery and oppression is some how the same as this. Unless your advocating for a full on armed revolution, what is this supposed to accomplish? I doubt hitting Nazis would result in greater oppression of minorities, and my evidence is all of rec...

It's not that. Beating up people over their views (however repugnant) only strengthens the opposition. People say that, but there's no real evidence that's actually true. Didn't you read your Texan history books? The black laborers (who immigrated via totally legit methods) gained freedom by playin...

It's not that. Beating up people over their views (however repugnant) only strengthens the opposition. That is not true at all. Do you have stats for that? I come from a land where beating black people led to black people grabbing guns and forcing white people to deal with them being equal. Maybe y...

Man, Darkmaster went full Nazi before I could even call it out. Asking to crack down on fucking private (or government) property getting destroyed by implementing martial law is a literal Nazi move. Fuck me, I was not ready for that. Edit: And this is not including the great victories the European ...

I phrased this 50 shades of wrong. I meant to ask about a general sense of society moving away from robbing the rich to give to the poor being a good thing (my childhood, which included Robin hood [furry porn] + Aladdin) vs all modern media(?). Note: A lot of what I do comes down to web metrics, so ...

The stock trading site presumably uses bots or some other exploit of the google code to come in first, because I got the same result. But the second result is the character's wikipedia entry, and the third is the 2010 Ridley Scott movie about the character. No, the Robin Hood myth isn't dead. He's ...

Is the Robin Hood myth dead? I googled it, and I shit you not, the first result was literally a stock trading website. I guess my real question is whether Robin Hood is viewed as a hero or not anymore, and why or why not. I've always thought Robin Hood was a fantastic hero because he operated outsid...

white people are better than everyone else at everything, including being slaves There's nothing Pseudo about you, Stupidity. Even a cursory analysis of my comments suggests that there would be far more obvious candidates for "best at everything" than Europeans. Imagine a society that has...

I'm just gonna conserve precious pixels and put deaddmwalking on Ignore. If you want any resolution to the issues he fails to understand, it's probably best if you research the topics yourselves - it's quite interesting and complex. To return to the original post: it's worth asking what qualities m...

Legendary monsters get 3 free autosaves. You're also incredibly limited in the amount of spells you can use that end a fight in one save. I'm not saying they're not there, I'm saying you have to really dumpster dive for them, because Mearls went with the Pathfinder route of nerfing spells people us...

Is there a list of spells that fvcking kill people for 5e? All the spells are different and I'm in a 5e game now, so boy was I surprised when color spray ended up being wet garbage. Save or be blinded for one round !? What shit is that? There are definitely some broken spells in there starting at le...

IQs are a lot like dicks, if someone tells you about theirs on the Internet they're exaggerating.

Which everyone accepts, they are "Taiwan, ROC". Ironically, Taiwan also claims all of China, both countries agree they are one country, they just disagree over who is the rightful ruler of it. This is not a small disagreement. I work with a Taiwanese citizen and he fucking HATES what most...

He 'backed off' the war crimes? How? Seriously, every single relevant person he's appointing is a torture supporter. And his backing off coming after Hillary lasted exactly as long as he didn't feel threatened. I thought he talked to Mattis and said something akin to "oh, I guess waterboarding...

Dude, he ran on committing war crimes and imprisoning his opponent on false charges . It has always been clear that he was running for dictator. I thought he was just doing that to appeal to the Republican base and because he's an ignorant strongman with tiny genitals hands who wanted to sound toug...

Trump casually tweets about fucking with the first amendment.

What, is burning the flag now personally offensive to him because he's going to be President? I know he was against flag burning before, but when he's President he's head of the Executive Branch and he needs to respect the fucking law.

Has Matt Taibbi made any column ever in his life that was interesting and true? Since being made aware of him and told that he was a national treasure, I've dipped into five columns going back six years and they were all fundamentally dishonest and written from the perspective of whiny privileged n...

Wouldn't spending "$8.6 million for web advertising that mostly looks indistinguishable from Clinton campaign ads," be considered using Hillary Victory Fund money to fund Hillary instead of down ticket races? Matt Taibbi is a fantastic writer and journalist, just because he did an article ...
