Makes sense for them. Do you want the operating system of your country to be easily hacked by your government, or by a foreign power?

The OSR is a celebration of the 70s, of Gygaxian dungeons full of monsters that appeared in one of the first three fiend folios. It calls itself a movement, but ironically, it is all about staying still. There's a lot of exciting games out there. Tenra Bansho Zero causes characters to...

Nothin' like the OSR, turning its back on every development in RPGs since the 70s. I like supporting developers who are trying new, exciting, daring innovations in games, and the OSR is pretty much the opposite of that.

I can find out if a band is good in forty-five seconds by loading up a youtube video. I don't have the time or inclination (or, usually, opportunity) to read the first few chapters of a 40,000 word story every time one passes through my perception, nor do helpful links to similar stories appear...

Sounds good to me! The female characters can win fights by taking off their shirts and stunning their opponents with a look at the twins, and male characters can win fights by being excellent fighters! Why are all those feminists complaining? That's game balance! Your opinions are...

Hah, no. (Almost) every female video game character is already constantly striking sexual poses, so we aren't informed that Morrigan is a succubus because she's exuding sexuality, but rather because she exudes bats. For years I thought she was a vampire. The problem isn't the sexy designs...

Please understand that when the complaint is, "Almost all female video game characters are portrayed as sluts and whores," responding, "Some of them actually are sluts and whores!" is not any better. You were assaulted in a cafeteria, unprovoked? That isn't an example of the matriarchy...
