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
Baldursgategate, unfortunately.
Yeah that's about the right level of normie.
I hate that you're right
Probably something simpler like "Dragon Gate"
If 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?
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
Oh, 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
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
I could see "dnd gate" or even "nerd gate" to be retro. Hell, could end up as "gamer gate" for maximum "fun"
Love it!

Nah that's when the red hat crowd discovers that Dimension 20's resident GM is BLM

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out

- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
