cis autodrag posted:in morrowind the redguards, the only black race, have an ability called adrenaline boost that gives a bonus to their strength and athleticism That's just kind of nasty intersection of gameplay mechanics and real world stereotypes. The Redguards are one of the warrior biased races so they get lower intelligence and boosts that help in combat. The super Aryan Nords are also warrior based, so they get the same low intelligence and magic protective Woad I think. I defend Bethesda on this because they're one of the few companies that even acknowledged black people exist. They even centered one of their games around a black character, something that I seriously can't think of another example of in fantasy games.

It's a modern masterpiece and should be required reading in high schools and colleges for years to come. Hell it should probably be in the OP here.

I read the title as a really dark joke playing on how Bill Clinton was called "the first black president."

This probably isn't the best place for it but I don't know where else to go. I was in a car wreck the other night where a drunk driver ran a red light and ran me off the road into a pole. My car is done. This wouldn't be so bad except I drive for Uber and have no income now. I am trying to raise the 1000 bucks for my deductible through uber and if any of you can help I would appreciate it. I cannot make a living without getting the car repaired. http://paypal.me/mikesherman1082 Any amount can help and if anyone knows of any resources please let me know

I am currently between apartments thanks to a run in with a bad living situation so the only way I have been living is paying for a weekly hotel and living paycheck to paycheck with uber supplementing. Without uber I am going to run out of funds soon and will be out in these streets, which will in turn lose me my job. So any help I can get I appreciate. If I can raise 1000 I can get the car fixed and be back in business. I set up a GoFundMe as well: https://www.gofundme.com/4fsx3u8

Kimsemus posted:Sorry You are so full of poo poo, I'm weighing the option of sticking your metaphorical head on a pike as a warning to the rest of your ilk. I've worked hard, consistently, even when it seems like I've vanished to ensure that TGRS is a place where PoC, women, lgbt+ people and everyone in between can post without the hostility that lurks everywhere else on internet. I have tried to go to lengths to do anything I can to address the concerns or needs of any poster in good standing with me. I have made mistakes, offered apologies, accepted apologies and continued conversations long after they've appeared to be over in order to work stuff out and keep things running smoothly. I am under no illusion that I was given this forum by Lowtax as anything other than a containment zone, and I'm fine with that. I have been a target, and I'm happy to be so, as long as it takes the heat off of the regulars here. I have made peace and reached understandings and decent (if not good) relationships with posters who have said some really fuked poo poo to me and vice versa. I am not talking out my rear end when I say that I care about my posters just as much, if not more, than any other mod or admin here. I am not trying to throw anyone else on the bus, I'd like to think I have a good relationship with the other mods and admins, and no one knows what happens behinds the scenes.. but that is exactly my point. Many times I have offered to lend a ear to anyone. I have offered financial assistance to multiple posters, uber rides to doctor's appointments etc when I was able to do so. I have been grateful to receive support emotionally (and help with scripts, job searching etc). I know how much that means when you are struggling, especially as a minority who is often on the end of internet vitriol. I have been there, I have felt it and I still do. If you are a poster in good standing in TGRS, (or even D&D most times) I will fight for you. I have got your back. In return, I do not ask for loyalty, but a little respect. You post lacked that respect that I am asking for. Kimsemus, you think you can come here and act like you were joking around? Maybe you really didn't know where the gently caress you were posting.

AggressivelyStupid posted:Blade was such a good movie and it's a crime that Wesley didn't more work He is impossible to work with and as someone who smokes weed every single day all the time his marijuana use might actually be abuse if even half the stories are true. People claim you can smell him from city blocks away and he can't remember notes or blocking from scene to scene. You know how bloodshot his eyes are in those movies, yeah that's not a special effect.

Which is weird because a lot of sovcits seem super racist to me. Also the poo poo that's gone down on the Blade sets is Hollywoo legend at this point. I suggest trying to find some clips of Kevin Smith or Patton Oswald talking about it. It's hilarious and insane.

Maybe they axed that? Also I'm sorry Fluffdaddy, I would donate but I am presently unemployed.

It was under the overpass so no cameras. Get this poo poo though: so the kill switch in the car went off cause of the impact . Dude walked up in a mechanics uniform and was like "hey, let me get it reset for you" he did and I moved it out of the road. He then starts demanding payment from me and my uber passengers. I was still in shock and just took an airbag to the chest and this rear end in a top hat was demanding money. Luckily the passengers ran him off.
