Judging by their username and a glance through their comments, I'm going to guess that this person has dissociative identity disorder and is using the signature to note which alter made the comment. Definitely a bit jarring though, and maybe I'm wrong and it's just an odd quirk with how they comment.

Absolutely. I don't watch her very much anymore, but if nothing else she was a big contributing factor to getting me solidly left.

I never watched much Hank Green aside from his tiktoks, but I still share everyone else's excitement at his presence. And yeah, it's kinda strange that Trapp hasn't been in more d20, I could easily imagine an alternate universe where he's one of the intrepid heroes.

I'm super excited for this season. I'm still riding the high of D&DQ and it's so cool to see the new guests. Also we finally get Siobhan in a side quest, aaaah!

I've heard shooting has wrapped on an intrepid heroes season and while I'm a little bummed this isn't it, I hope we get it soon.

I haven't read anything past the Southern Reach books, but that was part of the charm for me. I can definitely see how it can get exhausting though. I don't read as much as I'd like, and choosing that trilogy as my first books in several years was... one hell of a choice.

I don't have the charisma for it, but it would be great fun to be on Game Changer or other Dropout stuff like Um Actually or Make Some Noise

One of my favorite movies ever. This completely changed what I thought science fiction was capable of.

Highly recommend the book and its sequels, Authority and Acceptance, even if you've seen the film. They're completely different, Alex Garland wrote the screenplay based on how he remembered the first book rather than its actual plot.

"If you take a shot every time Frodo says the word "ring" you pass out before the movie ends. This means something and I am intelligent."

Crazy, it's almost like that's one of the things the movie was about.

That's certainly an unpopular opinion. I love rereading Calvin and Hobbes strips. Maybe it's a heaping portion of nostalgia goggles bringing me back to being a little kid learning how to read via comics, but I find all the newspaper strips I grew up with really comforting, none more so than C&H

My wife and I are locked in on getting together with Astarion and Karlach, so to balance out the party she'll be rolling up a circle of spores druid and I'm torn between a cleric or paladin. I never really played divine casters in dnd but in bg3 I've become quite fond of them.

It's specifically because of something written in the forward. I don't remember the exact quote now, but it got pointed out that he doesn't put villains in his stories, to which he replies that he learned that in the war. It flipped a switch in teenage me's brain and I started forming my own opinions after that.
