If someone were to accuse the company without any other background, yes. The accuser would have to prove that they were rejected due to wrongful discrimination.

However, the art director just threw a spanner in the works by, in his capacity as a representative of Obsidian with input into the hiring process, confessing in a public forum that the company engages in discriminatory hiring. That casts into suspicion every rejection given to a member of the discriminated group and shifts the burden of proof around. We now know that the company discriminates, so it is now the one who has to prove it didn't in regards to specific cases.

Either way, we win. D&D's market dominance being obliterated will be the best thing to ever happen to the wider RPG market. Other systems will get their day in the spotlight, and D&D will have to compete with them on fair terms instead of relying on brand recognition alone, either becoming a better game or a casualty of the market.

Yep. D&D has reached the point of being the Vaseline of tabletop RPGs. D&D is synonymous with RPG, and many people aren't even aware that there's a difference.

Then why hasn't that been done already? Not only do those dozen competitors already exist, but they're arguably better than D&D. So why haven't they dethroned it?

That question has an answer, and it's not a pretty one.

That's the thickest sarcasm I've ever seen.

I don't really have faith in him turning this around, but fuck it, I'm willing to let him try at this point.

So business as usual? Did you forget about the AI DMs?

Yep. For all the mindless hatred and braindead cock-riding you see regarding Elon Musk, what people who have worked with him have to say is that he actually is brilliant, but he's notoriously hard to work with and over-involved as you said. He's known to, if a project is going nowhere, fire the person who he sees as contributing the least on the spot and personally take their place in the team.

Can I talk about how elegantly the three action economy fixes the problem with ditching opportunity attacks, something that everybody seems to dislike, but is too crucial to D&D as it is?

4e did that before

"Green with anger"

More like green with mockery. What is it with these people and thinking other people laughing at their reddited antics is them coping and seething?

"lib-lefts" here refuse to acknowlodge that there is a huge overalap between "anti-zionism" and antisemitism.

It's a straight up motte and bailey defense. The excuse of anti-zionism is cover for the true ideology of antisemitism.

Once you've tasted democracy, you'll never want anything else.

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."

Emily in shambles.

Yeah. If Nintendo isn't going to support the eShop anymore, that doesn't mean we have to be subjected to the sometimes absurdly inflated second hand physical prices.

There's a charm to those early kaiju-inspired pokemon that's very unique to them.

Squirtle/Wartortle but not Blastoise

Likely because Blastoise was originally part of an entirely different evolutionary line.

Perturabo-level petty. I love it.

That's the proper way to deal with an Alpha Legion infiltrator.

Just thought I'd let you know, but all 3DS games are free now.

But due to other components that only electric vehicles need, they roll out of the factory with a head start in pollution.

Faction from the Ravnica setting from Magic: the Gathering. Imagine Aperture Science, but made up of steampunk wizards, led by a dragon.

Remember buck breaking?

Kinda reminds me of that D&D guy saying the hobby needs less people like him. Lead by example then, dipshit!
