SirSamuelIf a politician was very vocal about the evils of Dungeons and Dragons and it was revealed that he regularly played CRPGs, would the media call the resulting scandal Baldursgate?
No, because that would be too clever and only nerds would get it. But I like where your head is at.
Modest proposal, disenfranchise all normies. Utopia awaits.
You would be the first. I don’t like where my head is at
Love it!
Probably something simpler like “Dragon Gate”
I Cast FistIf I rush to make a game called that before the news comes out, can I accuse them of slander or some sort of wrongful use of a trademark?
Oh, but since DND is bad, they should call it BadDragonGate
Are you making the joke I think you’re making, or am I just exposing myself for the dirty heathen I am?
20Dgate
Nah that’s when the red hat crowd discovers that Dimension 20’s resident GM is BLM
Baldursgategate, unfortunately.
Yeah that's about the right level of normie.
I hate that you’re right
I could see “dnd gate” or even “nerd gate” to be retro. Hell, could end up as “gamer gate” for maximum “fun”
I’ve never wanted to run for public office, until now. I can be the change I want to see in the world.
Don’t let you dreams be memes
God I hate their obsession with calling everything -gate
I blame Heaven’s Gate and OceanGate.
Not sure if you’re joking but the original “-gate” = political scandal was the break-in at the DNC headquarters in the Watergate Hotel by people connected to the Nixon administration.
So this is either a TIL or “I met a pedant with no sense of humor on the Internet” moment for you
JojoOh, you mean Watergategate?
At least we didn’t call it Whitewatergate.
It’s super annoying. So annoying that I now get my news exclusively from what written on bathroom stalls at the Lowe’s on Silver Drive.
Whoever this Trump guy is, people have very strong opinions about him
