@TonicBH besides, said lady is wielding a cricket bat wrapped in razor wire which immediately gains enough awesome points for the rule of cool to kick in

The Battlefield V reveal trailer has, as a featured character, a badass british sniper lady with a prosthetic arm that kills a nazi with a cricket bat wrapped in razor wire

@Jo that's just entirely Tolkein's fault

"Hmm... I need a name for something... eh, fuck it, let's just use the word "golem" with the serial numbers filed off"

confession

@alice@elekk.xyz same

My vices are watches, good liquor, and D. R. Harris products

I mean, I tell myself that at least with those I can be 100% sure it's not made with slave labour, but really it's because I like nice things

People who loved Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality for its rational take on the Harry Potter universe will love my new trilogy of fanfic that details what would actually happen in a reasonable world;

"Hogwarts fails an Ofsted inspection", "Hogwarts gets shut down by the Health and Safety Executive", and "Oh yeah, voldy turned up again and we took him out with a drone strike"
