The Swedish Eon used to have it that lower stats got an extra roll or two on the random "stuff" tables so you might end up beginning the game with some extra armour or a knack for singing.
An interesting bit was Rolemasters setup where lower starting stats could have a chance for very high potential values, giving an interesting angle to the character.

Stormbringer 1e comes to mind here where the adventuring party very likely will consist of a sorceror-priest with a bound demon sword and a 1 legged beggar with a cough.
Bring back "Vietnam in space" as the scifi wargaming vibe.
Which means Shinji DID get in the robot :)
I guess you can just ask the Gundam guys.
"Dear sir. Is Gundam robot when pilot?"
Everyone calls mecha robots. But.. they aren't right? They are piloted.
Has someone looked into this? Is there a commission? Can I write a letter?
As teens, the folks i gamed with played everything we could get our hands on. I was surprised later to learn that there were people who only played rpgs or only cards or whatever
"You wot mate?"
The skill level in NHL has also gotten so high you cant really have guys who are just there to fight but can barely skate or shoot.
Yikes!
I only watch womens hockey where its not tolerated, so Im not really a defender of it.
It has been trending down for some time, so I suspect eventually it will go away.
In NHL, fighting is a major penalty (5 minutes) whereas in SHL you usually net a 2 match susprension.
Technically fights are against the rules, both players will be sent off, but it is generally "accepted" in North American hockey (unlike in Europe) for mostly historical reasons.
There are various arguments about it.
Fight on the ice so you dont have to fight off the ice I suppose :D
Scrubs was my jam for laugh track tv, but Ive watched more than my share of late night Frasier episodes too
100%. We lucked into that the buffet a town over is as good quality as a lot of the normal chinese places we go to. Not always a given!
My food tastes are phenomenally garbage which makes it easy to go out for dinner :)
What is your most normie / basic thing that you like?
Id settle for commentators being consistently wrong leading to them no longer being paid attention to, but parasocial relationships apparently made people immune to basic logic
Havent watched F1 since I was a kid but its pretty awesome.
And in the app you can watch an entire race from any cockpit ? Siiiiiick
Unironically true :)
I have a suspicion that you are right but appreciate the tag.
Any of my Canuck history friends:
Which divisions have divisional histories published for either world war?
Any place online that collects scanned versions? (assuming out of copyrights)
A fun version of this is to take the available minis and say "okay then what must the setting look like?"
Yours truly recaps the 2025 #canpl #cansoccer season with a look at each club and how they fared ...and perhaps what could have been.

Hah, whats funny is i think the poster was a gun nerd, which have their own blinders when it comes to history :)
no point bagging on a random person so vague posting but infantry after 1917 did not “mostly use shotguns and submachine guns”.
Turns out yes :)
Ill admit these days i just do stuff on my own and chat to friends. I barely even read reviews any longer.
