You believe so many things that are obviously not true. We all do. Have some compassion.
My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me

how do you know when someone is cruel and violent towards animals don’t worry they tell you ha ha ha ha
Not oniony – just normal Nikki Haley things, by this point.
Of course this means that companies like Comcast are giving money to candidates to have their ticket included in this mess, and they don’t care about doing a little fascism along the way.
It’s hilarious and telling to see “net neutrality” shoehorned in there. Goddamn queers and their net neutrality!
Not all of the content (you’re talking shelves and shelves of books) but the basic rules are free.
I stopped paying attention to D&D (though not RPGs!) long before whatever schism you are referencing occurred. It’s awful. But I know what I need to roll to hit armor class zero.
Plus, SJG is a genuinely awesome company full of people who are really dedicated to the love of gaming. You don’t feel like you’re being exploited by fashion and capital. You feel like you’re collaborating with your friends.
I don’t know anything about Pathfinder but compared to even the TSR days of D&D, the culture is so much better around SJG, and it really shows in the quality and depth of the source books. They are absolutely amazing. The CIA confiscated early drafts of the Cyberpunk source book along with all their computer equipment, insisting, “This is real!” I learned so much as a kid about world religion from their primary Fantasy setting source book. The rules are very simple and elegant, exploiting the naturally occurring normal distribution provided by 3d6, which maps very well to the normal distribution of real life events and makes the plusses and minuses (or “adds” if you remember Tunnels and Trolls) a lot more meaningful, realistic, and interesting because +/-1 means something completely different in different situations.
What I appreciated most was the depth of character creation, while staying incredibly light weight. D&D always seemed like a video game where your character is nothing more than a class, some equipment and some basic stats, like it’s specifically designed to produce dungeon grinds, and if you want to do anything else, that’s up to the DM to figure out and mix in, but it’s optional. With GURPS, you’re designing an actual character in the literary sense, who has stories to explore and interests that necessarily interact with other character’s interests. It’s an actual role playing game.
Always been a much bigger fan of Steve Jackson Games and GURPS
If this report is correct, then it can only mean that I am … old?
Because of the mathematical structure of the public rules of the games, not because the casino fucking steals from you.
If they wanted your money, it would have been released as shareware.

Please be careful. If you watch this, it has the potential to cause you trauma. But this is the reality most people carefully ignore.
It’s just been you and me, man. If you go back and try to re-interpret, I think you can see my view that the people we label “good” and “bad” are more a reflection of our human or selfish needs of them than of their moral worth. We need to see the people around us, especially those we are emotionally attached to, as good even though by an objective standard, they are all likely actively participating in atrocity and pretending they are not. Being seen as “good” has more to do with moral fashion than actually working towards some set of values from first principles.

You read “calling them evil and disgusting” into the text. It was not there.
I can’t see how calling them evil and disgusting is going to change their behaviour.
You read that in.
Every single one of them are needlessly – absolutely needlessly and to their own great detriment – participating in atrocity against thinking, feeling creatures who once had the capacity to love them. There’s no question of balance. Everyone loses.
Ah, the golden age. I dunno, I was running FreeBSD. It was awesome. It still is.
