Help settle an argument, !brisbane-ites. If I were out running and shared my location with you, and you saw that I was here:

And suggested to you (who's in a car) to meet me on Roghan Rd, where would you go?

Oh huh. The message is in French, so I guess they're banned from their own instance? I feel like the "banned" message should make it clear whether it's a community ban, a ban from my instance, or a ban from their instance.

Huh? How come @daniel_callahan@jlai.lu got banned? Their history doesn't look particularly problematic?

Right, exactly what you've said right here is exactly the mindset I'm pushing back against. The comic comes across as though it's saying "only those soft soyboys care about stuff like psychological safety, real tough guys who play tough manly gritty realism don't need that soyboy shit". Which is an incredibly toxic and lazy point of view.

I don't think the author of the comic intended it that way, but that's how it comes across.

No, I disagree that it should be in this comic because it sends the wrong message.

In formal English, the comma is just wrong. Informally, I agree it does a very effective job of making the message get across that way.

Well said

Oh dang, there's a sports edition now?

I love the idea of that. Unfortunately it's probably going to be way to America-centric for me. Someone lmk when they start including IPL and NRL players 😆

To be fair, most French speakers would say the same thing when talking to Quebecois.

No, they have nothing to do with the style of play. They have to do with group dynamics, which is an entirely separate thing.

I actually haven't ever used them myself. I've only played with people I already know or people that those people are vouching for, and I do a solid session zero to establish campaign content and tone. But it's who I'm playing with and the fact that we've discussed it that's relevant there, not whether we're playing heroic fantasy romance or dark gritty realism.

Great to see the AEU come out explicitly calling it a genocide.

Shame on SBS for hedging their comments so much. It really isn't relevant; they had to go a long way out of the flow of the article and this news story just to say "hey, Israel doesn't like it when you point out their genocide".

Because they're valuable whether you're doing sexy romance or gritty realism or something else entirely. They don't factor in with the "various styles of play are all equally valid" conversation.
