Yeah, if someone at the table wants certain attributes for their character, the DM should not allow others to mess with that without very good reason. This guy being a dick about it? He can find another table.

Oh man! Excited for this, never played the original but played a lot of Croc 2 growing up.
I dunno if scaring people off of their instance's communities is a deliberate attempt at building an echo chamber or just genuine dumbassery.
Honestly thank god the Lemmy devs made a platform that makes it so easy to avoid them.
The Wayback Machine shows it was missing at one point.
Hard to say why exactly it was hidden, but it's a bad look for sure.
I think that's a little too simplistic. I definitely agree that "we can't show you the evidence of why we made this decision but trust us" isn't going to instill confidence in the community, but it's not like the steering council is some unrelated board of executives. They're all core developers, theoretically chosen for their dedication and contributions to Python as a whole, and it seems their granted power has made them anxious about showing favoritism among the most seasoned at the expense of upholding the community guidelines that keep the Python community a positive and welcoming place.
I think a flawed decision was made, or at least the way it was presented was flawed, and that should be considered for the next election. Maybe the council does need to be totally overhauled, that's a valid position. But this is their work, too, and imply they have no skin in the game is disingenuous.
To be honest I still chalk it up to that.
This comes up every so often on the RiffTrax twitch channel and, try as I might, I can't make it through more than 20 minutes of it. The guitar noodling, the nonexistent plot, that fucking voice, god it's too awful to even be funny.
"Why don't you donate that money?"
"Why don't you?"
You know, when I read The Handmaid's Tale back in high school, I didn't think the ending made any sense. How do you have tourists just walking around taking pictures when there's horrible human rights violations happening in plain sight?
I think I get it now.
Honestly the accounts of the woman who visited almost bother me more than the men. Even as a tourist she wasn't allowed to do certain things, but she can just leave whenever she wants. Wonder how her friends among the locals feel about that.
Getting real uncanny valley vibes from those teeth...
I avoided it for a while because it felt so clunky, but it has really improved in the last decade.
It's a joke related to the US veteran healthcare industry. Claims are often denied for not being "service related" even when it seems like they ought to be qualified.
