I've been called "Sheldon" for my autistic traits in a degrading manner. The show plays autism for laughs plenty of times, and also ridicules the "nerds" all the time for no reason. It's like a bunch of self proclaimed high school "jocks" wrote it

I eventaully got into it, but Mad Men took me more than a few tries
It's lowkey offensive to autistic people too. Young Sheldon did much better at that
On bike? Believe it or not, also jail.
The 180 turn on how Rome deals with the Latin Mass community. After John Paul II's Ecclesia Dei communities and Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum instituting Latin Mass back into regular dioceses, it was looking like Rome was softening up a bit. Francis did a full heelturn and basically undid the work of both
The huge RPG sub and subs for specific games. I know there's an instance but it is nowhere near as active as Reddit subs
Not OC, but it's probably both. There are too few users, but still most of the content on my feed is anti-Trump news, Buy European posts and such. I don't hate it but it's definitely not anywhere close to the Reddit experience yet
Your TV emits just as much blue light as your phone... It's literally a screen, you're not doing screens off
I feel there's plenty of interest in other RPGs if you go outside the core community. I have never been remotely interested in playing DnD, so I never got a "real RPG gamer" group, because why play anything if you can run Curse of Strahd for the 100th time.
Well, it just so happens that I got my SO to play some Mothership duet sessions with me and it was great. Then some uni friends who were fans of LOTR to play The One Ring... And now I have an ongoing TOR 2e table and a passionate duet player looking to play more horror games (we're starting Delta Green this week). The most common reasons for these people never having played RPGs? "Too many rules and stats" or straight up "DnD is too hard".
We sometimes talk about DnD as some sort of necessary evil, but it's honestly a hindrance. "Normies" get pretty excited about RPGs once they learn there's more than a fantasy setting designed to be the lowest common denominator and sell miniatures
If the CRT works there are melee players that will buy it
More stuff to kill in the kill stuff game. If you look at games that emphasize more narrative, there will be fewer pages dedicated to just monsters, like The One Ring 2e. The downside is having less varied combat and less freedom on crafting your own stuff
Grimdark stuff is just so infantile. It's not "realistic and gritty" to have every single character cuss a thousand times per episode and be constantly in and out of clothes
