    Yes, and any fumble on any spell roll has a chance to cause the caster to cast Fatal and nuke the planet, hence confusion as to why the planet still exists.

    It's pretty much unplayable, I was in a group that tried so we could write "terrible games" blog posts about it. That said character building can be surprisingly fun, despite how obtuse the process is, just because you can roll up such ridiculous results. Everything is random and there's...

    Ah, FATAL, head of the triumvirate of terrible games. Although it does seem like FATAL would work for the neurodivergent types they're apparently trying to court here. There's gotta be something wrong with you if you actually feel it's important to roll your PC's anal circumference...

    Enderchan is just a shy tsundere who hits you for staring at her too much.

    I could see them genderbending Fishlegs so they have a massively overweight female character who they insist is actually hot.

    Hmm, gay people aren't allowed to stay single, else the community will complain that they're gay in name only. All gay people have to hook up in modern movies. So if Ruffnut's gay they either have to make Astrid gay/bi to hookup with her and ignore Hiccup entirely, or add another female...

    I didn't watch any of them, nor the Hunger Games movies. I was in school during the period when eating disorders were the hip illness to have so I got pretty sick to death of Bulimia and Anorexia, I'm definitely not watching movies about them.

    They wouldn't have to do that if it weren't for the patriarchy.

    Money in and of itself peaks in utility fairly low. The life of a billionaire isn't any real improvement in comfort or quality compared to a 10 millionaire, who is only marginally better than a single-digit millionaire. You have maybe more rooms you don't use in your mansion, your private...

    Hollywood has serious, serious nepotism and favoritism issues. This isn't as apparent as it might be because Hollywood also has a huge tradition of stage names and pseudonyms which is partially obscuring just how many of the big names are either directly related to or BFFs of other big names...

    A bit, to be sure Hollywood starlets tend to be the top 5% most beautiful humans so they tend to look really good no matter what. It's usually less about that, though, than about money. Regardless of looking gorgeous compared to average Janes, it's hard for an actress in her 40s to compete...

    Eh, if you go back to the original article this one's scraping she really does say that. She spends quite a bit of time bemoaning getting old and wishing she had her 22-year-old days back, she's going through the normal female actress midlife crisis now...

    She's 37 years old. Right now she's in the middle of the standard metamorphosis Hollywood Starlets go through at that age, where they switch from showing their bold rejection of the Patriarchy's control by selling on their youth and sexiness to bemoaning how the Patriarchy controlled them and...

    I don't have problem with black Tinkerbell per se, she has no themes that are race related so she could be black, white, or even purple-skinned and still work. Weird choice though, when much of Tinkerbell's characterization is "Homicidal rage machine." It will be a bit of a problem if they...

    Lovecraft was quite Xenophobic. This looks like racism if you don't understand what culture is and think everything comes down to skin color, but Lovecraft didn't like white people who weren't part of his in-group either. Quite a lot of things in Lovecraft are horrifying to the writer just...

    Wednesday and Pugsley also swapped personalities from the comic/original show to the remakes. Wednesday was the sensitive emotional one and Pugsley was the ice-cold serial killer in training in the Old School Addams.
