But for how much longer?

How much longer will we need people who understand how things work?

I imagine that Brennan Lee Mulligan walks a fine line as a public figure.

He still plays D&D often enough to (seemingly) not alienate people at Wizards whose work helped launch his career.

But he also plays significant amounts of other games, including some that I think are Indie developers, like Kids on Bikes.

I'm sure he's aware of the issues and concerns in the community around D&D under Wizards - and probably shares many of those same concerns, as a fellow player and DM.

But, yes, the idea that Brennan secretly hates anything sounds pretty silly. Brennan has been pretty direct with his epic rants about things he really hates.

I can't wait for the press to join in the confusion:

"What was it like to play Nintendo's famous elf swordsman, Zelda?"

"I played Link."

"What's a link?"

kindness seems pretty exclusive to white people.

I suppose big portions of history would nod quietly at this, if they could.

With maybe a clarifying note that the real goal was classism, and racism was just a convenient way to achieve more classism.

If they came with wall mounts, you might think like I did "I'm not sure I want to wall mount these."

But now I can say - it's great. It feels good to have them wall mounted in a prominent visible place.

Exactly. My phone is for texting and calling out. Receiving calls is an unfortunate bug.

Perfect score. Social obligations fulfilled: 100%. Words spoken: 0. Emotional energy cost: 40%.

I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.

While you can setup a second profile to put the Google services into, I don't recommend it.

The version of Google Services on GrapheneOS thinks it has root, but it does not.

So there's no dramatic need to setup a second profile, unless you want it for other reasons.

I personally think the second profile feature is one of the things people think they want/need from GrapheneOS, but really are happier without.

(Sure it's safer, but GrapheneOS is already so much better than other mobile OSes - and I hate to see someone quit GrapheneOS just because they didn't like the optional profiles.)

An exception I have seen is for apps mandated for a job. I'm happy to bury that stuff deep.

nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example.

You're one of today's lucky 10,000!

That amused me, too.

I think it plays fine for the intended audience, though.

For the folks looking into Anubis, that line plays well - because hosting costs are driven up by the kinds of spam bot visits that Anubis slows down.
