@mecha82 I have to agree. For a thread proclaiming it is “no politics, no religion” it makes a rather political statement by saying “no SJW, no soy boys”.

Soy boy is quite a charged term as it seems to insinuate that gamers who don’t fit a certain mold are not welcome. Heck, if you go by some of what the term “soy boy” is meant to insinuate, those are actually traits that might well describe me.

It’s also the more disheartening as it is just another sign of normalising behaviour of saying who “real gamers” are and making it more acceptable for attitudes that make this place comfortable for outright Nazis to post saying “Speaking as a Nazi” (see the Blood Culture article for that).

1. Court rooms are court rooms, part about defining the truth, part performance.

2. Got the workflow operating to do some high throughput computational materials discovery for nuclear waste encapsulation materials. Oh and finishing painting the Space Hulk terminators with contrast paints. Plus some other stuff I can’t say that is gaming based but under NDA.

3. Details I spot – wonky dice mechanics where the probabilities make for some weird edge cases.

4. Just not into historical wargaming.

Music for the weekend? Atari Teenage Riot, Fluke, Orbital.
