Brave Little Hitachi Wand

I tried really hard to like Fall Guy for the sake of one friend a few years ago, but it’s just so bad and monetised.

“It’s just pattern recognition!” Bestie, you just described the only thing the neocortex does.

…I’m being real sarcastic for a guy who couldn’t beat DS1 without playing a sorcerer.

Any self respecting elder god would be playing billiards with the black holes. Fire up the new big bang, ye tatterdemalion layabouts!

Comparison is truly the thief of joy. Of course, once we know how long the slow fade of an empty universe will last, the first thing we most do is make 120 trillion years of insane, glorious, beautiful existence seem inadequate.

It’s a ballsy move

The light will eventually tire out and turn into radio waves or smth, I’m not a physicist

These ones will be quite dim

Private equity having a normal one

Unfortunately, stocks tend to move in sympathy with each other due to various factors, such as large ETFs and algorithmic trading. Natural price action is kind of broken at the moment.

I try.

I mean, I fail frequently but I’ll take partial credit.

Worst thing ever, don’t even want it. Would ruin my life

Wand of wishes. It’s great, but it will respond to any speaker in the vicinity

Are you mad that people got mad? Anger is not a subtle political instrument, a win is a win.

I was randomly up at 4, shouldn’t have been on my phone at all. Word salad.

Oh shit. Free demo too. I’ll see if it has the same magic for my kid that it did for me

I had something like that with my last group. I was the guy who was always playing someone crazy to die for some reason or another, but when it came my time to DM I’d do way too much worldbuilding and make everything insane and lore driven. I still haven’t found a new group after moving far away, I miss it.

I would understand the concomitant urge to act like you’re an Indestructible Demigod of Finding Out, but the wisdom of my years are telling me that you need to maybe have a heart to heart with the DM, and explain how the stakes don’t feel real if you’re always one bad roll away from a Deus Ex Machina. Tell them that they should feel free to let fate take its toll, that you accept the risk, and that you will do your level best to have any accidental deaths mean something and contribute to the story.

Me at the table: fuck the challenge rating, let’s do this shit!

… I’m not dead? Well that was boring.

They want “personal responsibility”, but definitely it isn’t murder to kill someone with a car. It can’t be murder if I was so happy and comfy and distracted the whole time I was violently ending a human life!

There are lots of words for it. Criminal negligence, manslaughter, homicidal apathy…
