Arivia posted:It’s not quite true. Phylactery can mean a holy Christian relic (for example it was very common to carry the “bones of a saint” around as a good luck charm) as well as Jewish tefilim. Both of these uses are legitimate and go back centuries. Yea I'm pretty heavily forgiving of it because it clearly comes from Gygax just finding a cool religious mystic word and going 'aw yea that'll spice things up' and accidentally also invoking an extremely sacred part of a different culture for 'spoopy evil undead soul eating monster'. It's good to fix, I encourage groups to do the same because it changes nothing except removing an insensitive label, but at least it seems to be more genuine ignorance than actual bigotry which...sadly in table top RPGs is worth pointing out... My group calls it The Soul Hole mainly because it also works in character to piss off most lich types by shouting at them to 'reveal The Soul Hole'.

 Context: America's Army the military recruitment FPS is finally shutting down its servers. Most of this is just  but I love that end note "Yo, I played a ton of these games as a kid and can talk in depth about realism and the skills I learned from playing. It's a terrible recruitment tool though, because I enlisted in a different branch of the military!"

Those guys definitely know how to stretch a small PR budget, Tushy was also in the running to get a custom advertisement skin into Fallguys when that game was exploding in popularity. The Fallguy devs did a big charity donation/bidding war where the company with the biggest pledge could get a tie-in skin. Tushy was going to add a "Ask me about my butthole" t-shirt if they won and their final bid was $420,69. That rear end in a top hat internet personality Ninja outbid them. Streamers ruin everything they touch.

I saw someone track down when phylacteries turned into just a legit "This is the Jewish thing, yes." For about two editions, it was "that word is neat," but if you know what one is, it became just the same exact item in 3E.

I remember one time an SA mod probed someone for posting a pic of poop in a toilet (which I guess the poster did as a protest or something), and in the probe reason it said something like: "In order to submit a probation request, I have to go through about six pages of forms, all of which show a preview of the post which is being submitted, which means I had to look at the poop six times. I did not want to look at the poop any times." That phrasing is stuck in my head forever

I'm gonna guess it's either that she hadn't heard of the word phylactery in that context, or she had and found out it traced back to someone who was at the time still alive so she couldn't claim the idea as her own.
