If you’re reading this and have never tried this, get some, it’s a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.

Apple is a strange beast. I was at their space ship HQ getting interviewed, and the guy kept pointing random facts about it. Like, this particular wood was harvested in the winter so that made it better, or that entire segments can be siloed off, or that the full height glass walls of the cafeteria can be opened on pivots, and there was just so much effort in making sure things worked just right.

Meanwhile [this team] had to test software fixes for their product by provisioning ancient Mac mini’s in a closet lab because they wanted to test the “full experience” and so every patch and update they had to do was painful and horribly tested. They all hated each other (which was obvious to me just from my time in their interviews, so it must have gotten really bad during the workday I imagine). Everyone seemed on edge all the time. Even the people in the hallways. But they were all super excited that they could order lattes from the iPads tethered to the break room countertops. And they had an apple orchard I guess. The idea of changing how they do what they do was completely unentertainable.

The whole experience felt surreal, like I had stepped into the world according to The Onion.

“Your bones are wet in you.”

Unpleasant. Mmh. No, no thank you.

Ok, so, the trick is to make sure the NPC’s are the same way. That’ll really confuse the players.

Person jumps off a roof and splats in front of the party

player: “why did that happen?”

dm: “They had just purchased boots of flying from an untrustworthy source and figured this was the best way of testing them.”

Oh hell yes it was amazing.

I once hallucinated after being poisoned by lunch from a Torta truck in Mexico, somewhere south of Monterrey. I was in a cinder block shitter a mile down the road until the sun went down that day.

Oh, and for some reason, literally every ihop I’ve ever been to has smelled like sewer, had terrible service, and has food that tasted a day old. They can’t all be like that right?

Monkey paw:

Half Life 3 is basically a reskin of overwatch. There is no story mode.

if they’re int/dex/str, I make them roll a wisdom check to see if they do something impossibly stupid.

if they’re wis or cha, they roll deception against themselves with disadvantage. It’s excellent seeing a character literally deceive themselves into doing something dumb.

Sokath, his eyes covered. (Samsung has tons of phones and mics everywhere too) Does anyone actually use Bixby though?

Google, it’s pockets laden. (meh, they already have listening devices everywhere, two more won’t really make a difference)

Alternatively, what if you had a hole where all the vertices are and had a projector in the dice project the number onto the ceiling.?

liiiiiiiiiiink?!

It still works that way, the newest editions just make it easier for new people to get rolling faster. No ruleset will ever make up for a bad DM.

shadowsocks seems to be the best way for now.

The movie starts at the end of Halloween, so the best time would be Halloween night after you’re done going out.

I have a friend absolutely murder hoboing his way through this game and even his pure blood and chaos playthrough is a blast. I love this game.

Yes, but there’s something to be said about the ouroboros of thought that social media produces.

Thank you so fucking much.
