LOL, I had no idea that the Rice-a-Roni slogan was euphemistic for being a gay man. I’m gonna start calling me a Rice-a-Roni.
Programming Language for Games
Game developer Jon Blow is making a programming language just for games. Why is he doing this, and what will it mean for game development?
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Batman: Arkham City
A look back at one of my favorite games. The gameplay was stellar, but the underlying story was clumsy and oddly constructed.
Best. Plot Twist. Ever.
Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
The Best of 2015
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2015.
San Francisco has been affiliated with homosexuality and gay rights for decades. The Village People sang a song celebrating it. Remember the Titans references it with the team’s gay player. And yes, gays were called “The other San Francisco treat”.
When I saw this comic on the Patreon after reading about the discussion about how to handle the casual slurs and homophobia in the comic, I did a hell of a double-take and couldn’t stop laughing at the absurdity. It feels so over the top.
This comic is a great link for clueless people on social media asking why these are explicitly LGBT-friendly TTRPG games advertised, though.
I’ve lived in Chicago, Pittsburgh, San Fran and yes… even the hometown of the original author Shamus.
Ratio of straight/homosexual population is about the same. SF was just the first place that DNGAF one way or another.
Comic’s not showing for me.
Me too!
Whole post off the front page, boss.
Dangit, fixed.
If I may, the comma is missing in “Well, you know…”
Lol now I can go back to the 90’s and talk about people being so ‘rice-a-roni’ without being offensive.
