Amen, Zapp. The only thing that annoys me more sometimes than someone I disagree vehemently with is someone who won't pick sides. I hate the wishy-washy sort of crap that people sometimes offer up in response to hot-button issues whether they're moral or political or whatever. I can't even begin to list all the people I've heard say something like 'Well, I just don't know' when it comes to things like abortion or the iraq war or whatever. What's not to know, dingus? It's either a human life or it isn't. It was either a just war or it wasn't. I can understand feeling ambivalent about the whole thing, but just clinging to an opinionless neutrality is obnoxious as heck. Things would be more fun and interesting if people just picked a side and immediately started trying to brutally pummel the opposition. Sort of like grade-school dodgeball right after the teams are chosen.

Hello darkness, my old friend
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking…

Origins Game Fair 2016: Day 3
I mentioned before that the nadir of Origins was probably around 4-5 years ago. The exhibit hall was a ghost town, vendors had fled, and it didn't…
