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.
From The Archives:
Civilization VI
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
Quakecon 2011 Keynote Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
How to Forum
Dear people of the internet: Please stop doing these horrible idiotic things when you talk to each other.
The Best of 2015
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2015.
D&D Campaign
WAY back in 2005, I wrote about a D&D campaign I was running. The campaign is still there, in the bottom-most strata of the archives.
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.
