Hah. I kept getting asked if I'd affiliate and just said 'eh, cross that bridge when we get to it' (which thankfully never happened and I suspect my plot would not have been sanctioned).

Which is fine though and you're right about Labour anyway... This is just "I am very smart so the things I say about stuff I don't know about is also very smart. QED." Just... the dumbest shit. Napalming credibility stuff.

Gotta love the American complaining about a British guy known for his anger over social justice issues for being 'aristocratic', as if aristos aren't something the British have experience of and things to say about... Real 'I am very smart and live in the heart of the hegemon' stuff.

Yeah, V5 is weird nostalgia fodder. I came to CoD late (felt more like DnD style rules with too many fiddly bits, I mean, grappling, really?) But setting wise, I love it so much more. Speaking of LARPs, any idea what the deal its with the modern LARP company? I was never Cam affiliated.

Clearly a diet of charts is bad for him.

Is he just fucking stupid? (Answer: yes.)

Most of the worst racist, sexist and homophpbic language I learned came from American movies and TV.

"Yes, we are in the End Times and we are choosing to ignore it, to piss away our final chances because our institutions are ossified and will kill us vs the young know what's going on and are breaking away/rebelling" seems like a way through to me at this point - true, and an homage to 1e.

(That said, I do see how much V5 did take cues from VtR2e, and mostly blame the Nerds Who Hate Change, a thing in modern fandoms. The expectations of ownership pisses me off.) That said...

But also...CoD was right there! The design choices made were clearly attempts to improve/open up on WoD's setting! Their choice to go back to VtM and try to keep going on with something that had already ended and pretend continuity was a choice!

Oh, absolutely, I don't think there was really a good line to take between 'we're supposed to be in Gehenna and shit is wild' and the problem of 'it needs to be relatable and look like the world around you' when written for 2018. Now? I think there's more room for End Times vibes.

I just read what I needed, you know? Ignored the bits I didn't need to worry about. Kinda worried because I did that with the Witcher rpg and ooof, there were some howlers I missed. Though still confused over the Russia stuff as my copy had already amended that text.

PICNIC is a real problem...

Yeah, theoretically it could happen; and yet, does not seem to. The centre right always brings the far right along to the party.

To be fair to Fraser Nelson, he is a rancid gobshite too. I can see why he'd miss his beerhall friend.

"The US Government ignored it's own laws to fund the Palestinian genocide but feeding people is bad" really sums up a lot of why things are like they are.

Lots of racists were privately warm and had friends, that's not particularly relevant.

Well...*DSA* Mayors. You lot didn't want him.

Yeah. I get the constant attempts to make it happen, but they've always obviously been long shots.
