Guilty, but now I’m considering switching to footnotes¹. They let you express a related thought without disrupting the flow².
¹I blame House of Leaves. Lotta footnotes in there, and they can go a long way before they really get out of hand.
² Sure there are cons, like the fact that the reader has to go to the bottom for context, but there’s also no real length limit.
The Secret Service has traced your IP address and is converging on your location as we speak.
Yeah I went to take that same test to see how high it scored, and flex on this chud with a higher score. “Free test” then charges $15 for results. Screw that, I’m not doing that for a bit.
But for those who are curious, it’s a pretty straightforward multiple choice pattern recognition test. It’s not really difficult at all. Pretty sure I got every question right in like a quarter of the allotted time. It’s really funny that he described it as “time crunching” and “adrenaline pumping”.
Thank you for sparing me the rant I was inhaling to deliver.
The system is so good. You wanna run a political intrigue campaign? Great! Not only are there dozens of skills to navigate the nuances of that style, but there are multiple supplemental guides if you want to get real nitty gritty. You wanna run a hyper-tactical combat heavy campaign? Great! The combat can be extremely rich, with an entire book dedicated to Martial Arts.
You can run any setting you can think of: sci-fi, fantasy, modern, historical, cinematic, realistic. The mechanics are there. But the base system is so simple and modular, you can run it off an index card. I almost think of it less as an RPG than an RPG engine. You really can adapt it to any kind of game concept.
I’m an Epsilon male, I try to be as unnoticeable as possible.
I’ll have you know I’m quirky and unique. I slap the bags of rice at the grocery store, who else would do that?
That’s part of the point. Destroy the government, and the public’s faith in it, so billionaires can do as they please sans regulations.
Pam Bondi said the list was on her desk to review. Then suddenly there was never a list. I wouldn’t call that a “total lack of evidence”.
Yes, I gave far finders.
The correct answer
How many times do you think graffiti writers will have to correct the signs before they start stationing guards?
Not really a true crime guy, but
Chaotic Good baby, love when the parking lot around the corral is vacant so I can go for distance without risking hitting anyone.
I mean, everything is part of the universe, including our brains and the chemicals inside them that manifest experientially as happiness and sadness. You can certainly take more control over what causes those emotions in you, but you’re still part of the universe.
I’m convinced that if there’s a way to build a time machine, it’ll probably work like Primer.
Pedophiles are just people with an illness. Child abusers are irredeemable and pure evil. But not all pedophiles are child abusers (and for that matter, not all child abusers are pedophiles). Pedophilia is nothing more than an attraction. Some sufferers succumb to and act on that attraction, others seek psychological help to manage that attraction so that they don’t act on it.
This commenter was very obviously referring to the latter: those afflicted by pedophilia who are determined to keep themselves from acting on it, but face social challenges in finding psychological help.
You could definitely build Anomancy in GURPS with one of the alternative magic systems, probably Magic as Powers or Ritual Path Magic.
ETA: I was hasty, this is just the Divination(Physiognomy) spell from the base Magic system as described on M108-109.
I’ll go further, and say the text of the 2nd Amendment implies gun owners should be members of a well-regulated militia. I think every State Guard should accept anyone who applies, and give them basic training. In exchange for being part of the reserve, and passing firearm classes, you can keep and bear arms.
If you don’t want to be part of a well-related militia, no guns. If you can’t pass firearm training, no guns.
