i have the teeniest of nits to pick in regards to the last TAZ.

I wish the boys had a chance to just cut loose on the Hunger. Maybe that's coming up, but I think it woulda been so cool just to say 'Alright, here's an army to fight. Go nuts. ' I know D&D combat is probably the least exciting part of the podcast, but I'd love to see what Justin would do with that kind of challenge.

I for sure miss the actual gameplay, and I didn't think I really ever would. I'll be glad when the new setting starts honestly, shits gotten a bit much.

Yeah that's fair, they have leveled up like 800 times and can probably do some cool poo poo. Maybe next episode.

This is Canada. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three.

I'm not sure about D&D 5e gods, but they are in an incredibly modified Faerun, and isn't one of the gods in that setting Waukeen?

That said, I've never played in the actual Faerun or D&D 5e, so I may be way off base

You could potentially email MaxFun and see if they'll give approval to buy a pin from the artist whose name I don't remember atm also I think that donors can buy extra pins but I'm not sure

Yeah, I'd even be more inclined to believe it if it was someone he had creeped at, and not some random guy who somehow knows this and for some reason kept it under his hat for the first time Nick cussed at a guy. Like, if this was an issue, it'd have gone public way before this.

It is loving insane to me how games devs are 100% fine with being anticonsumer assholes and anyone pointing out anticonsumer rear end in a top hat behavior gets The Discourse to fall in like a ton of bricks for their defense.

Also I think anti-sjw ppl were mad at him when he posted about the dialog he found in Wolf 2 where two nazis were going "why not argue with us peacefully" (which they should have gotten mad at machinegames for and not nick???)

So it's hard to know who is attempting to drag him in good faith and who is just being a poo poo-stirrer

man it sure is weird that people would be willing to sit on sexual assault allegations until THE EXACT MOMENT Nicolas Robinson said something bad about a popular video game with a lovely port, who the hivemind will always defend with a combination of "games are hard" and/or "QA is expensive"

Like this poo poo always loving happens. The Discourse is 100% willing to do whatever it takes to defend anticonsumer practices if it ever involves a video game dev, especially an indie game dev, up to and including slinging totally unsubstantiated bullshit out of loving nowhere with no receipts to back it up.

I don't believe that the immediate reaction to implications of someone sexually harassing people should be just dismissing it out of hand just because I like the accused's work, or especially not because of that.

the wise gem bowed her head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad quartzes. you imbecile. you fucking moron"

I am on the side of outraged twitter 9 times out of 10 but one rando calling nick an rear end in a top hat and one other rando backing them up with "also he's a creep" isn't anything to go on. Or really worth more discussion than a shrug.

Also yeah, "well actually"-ing someone and calling them a whiner because they vented on twitter about a lovely port is pretty obnoxious.
