Title: TBP madness...again...
Post by: Adam Csipke on August 22, 2023, 03:31:12 PM
They've locked a thread about how to forge metal underwater as it's (apparently) led to a discussion on genocide of sahuagin.

Have the merfolk reported the thread?? SAHUAGIN ARE A MADE-UP CREATURE, FFS!!!!

Seriously, are they all fucking mad over there??

To even know about this means that you are still at TBP. My question at this point is, are YOU mad?  ;D

Clearly there's an element of instability!  ;D

Now, now, we have a whole thread (several pages thick) about TBP madness in Pundit's forum.

It's like watching a slow mo train wreck.

It's like watching a boat sink or a train wreck.  Just pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.

If anyone cares, then I got a thread in the design forum where I wanted to discuss how a civilization would develop fire on a planet with a chlorinated atmosphere. (The answer: they don't, they learn how to summon demons instead.)

Off topic but they might hit on something like heating coils powered by electricity.

Sounds about right.

Made-up genocides by mythical creatures are very real to these oxygen thieves.

They are stunning and brave to take such a stance.

How do these people manage to survive in the real world?

I would suspect generous reliance on the welfare state and parental basements.

 :) I know multi-vehicle pileups are irresistible attention grabbers, but maybe it might be best not to give in to forum morbid curiosity.

Talk about gaming that interests you. Stop defining yourself predominantly through opposition of others. By having more fun you win by... having more fun and sharing that with others who are having similar fun!  ;D

I know, but there's something ghoulishly fun about watching!

I don't talk about gaming there any more (not that I ever did much), but a couple of friends and I have a drinking game - take a drink every time in a gaming-related thread that someone states the game is racist/sexist/colonialist. Quick way to get hammered as the virtue-signallers like to get in early! The average now seems to be post #3.

The Big Purple, a nickname for the rpg.net forums. A prominent site for the hobby that became overtly left-wing and anti free-speech over time. Kind of the opposite of this place (for the moment).

Used to be a big RPG discussion forum. But then turned increasingly left, then far left then loony toons far far left.

Personally I have never had a problem over there. But I stick to certain subsections that seem quieter.
