Slight correction: It is well known for doing nothing to the rich. A distinction as subtle as it is important…and telling.
I don’t intend to be a negative Nancy about it all but I expect everything will fall through some crack or slip through some loophole or…just get looked away from, in the end. It’s a pattern I’ve seen again and again with this man.
The “oh so nerdy” references weren’t quite so ubiquitous earlier in, were they? The question popped into my head the other day but I don’t feel like going back to check.
Again? I thought this happened already? What’s different about this one?
Even just the name Penny Arcade had me in flashbacks!
What changed? I’ve always seen them as a cesspit but even from a distance I can tell they’ve gotten lots worse lately; been using since 2009 or so.

I don’t dislike Dresden Files but I’m liking it less as it veers further & further from its initial premise. Book 1 and book…er, 16? the latest one…are so tonally different. Power creep, yeah, is part of it, but also it went from “fun noir throwback starring Detective Hard-Boiled” solving things cleverly (and without spellslinging ALL the time) to “what if a Jedi with the power of God and pop culture references on his side fought Irish folklore kaijus while Bigfoot was watching”.
Like… I’m strapped in for the ride and enjoying it besides but the series seems to have gotten a lot less intellectually stimulating and than before and is now “big powers do a fighting”.
Just me?

More varied formalwear than “suit with some superficial variations” (tux, 2- or 3-piece, colors, tie variety). Broader range of styles.
I think you win just for originality and not “witnessed very violent happening.”
Not that violence isn’t fucked up, too, but…Jesus.
I’m interested in the ‘live like it’s early 2020’ bit; what do you mean there?
