YOU wOULDN’T
DOWNLOAd A
CIVILISATION

…oh, oh, there’s an RPG setting i read like this recently!..like magi-punk high fantasy mashed-up with the legions of hell and heaven allying with various nation-states in open industrial warfare…

(now it’s going to bug me until i can find it)

…we just called him evil pope…

…in the afterlife, you could be headed for the serious strife: now you make the scene all day, but tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay!…

…pope francis was a good guy, and he didn’t need to flaunt his christianity to be so: his actions spoke for themselves, as they should…

…quod erat demonstrandum…

…they read select verses which are spoon-fed their bible-study curriculum…

…christians are f*cking evil, full stop…

East Asia gets a very mixed representation in western media, but it’s still better than the (effectively) no representation that is typical of SEA (bar like one or two countries).

…for all grief folks give kara-tur, they made a respectable effort to represent the breadth of pacific asia folklore and culture; no less a patois of anachronistic legendarium than D+D did with western europe…

…my mazda 2 outhandles my MX-5s and is the only car i’ve driven which keeps pace with my elise; we’ve been waiting for an electric subcompact hatchback for about ten years now but the stateside market keeps doing everything it can not to offer me one…

…i’m pretty sure the only difference between versions is the physical cartridge format; the software is identical and there are adaptors available for both platforms…

…i’ve always considered that a game gear title first, even though both formats were released nearly simultaneously…

…it’s far more durable, mostly…

…masonry wainscots look tacky-as-heck but they provide impact and moisture resistance where it’s needed most…

…i prefer corrugated arch structures, but rigid frames are popular for good reason…

…she’s an episcopalian bishop who led trump’s inaugural service, asking that he accept god’s humility and share his mercy with marginalised people who fear him, specifically naming genderqueer, immigrant, and refugee populations…

TIL!

…i also had no idea aluminised tetrapacks were recyclable; always figured composite materials were dead-end landfill fodder…

(the changeover wasn’t entirely in the sixties, though: as a kid, we used to peel cartons open and scrape off the wax for craft projects clear into the early eighties, never realised the packaging had changed prior to the advent of plastic screw-tops)

…typically they’re coated with food-grade wax…

…one’s a peter gabriel album and the other’s guns ‘n’ roses…

…we’ve all violated national security oaths and SCIF protocol?..yeah, no…
