This really gets into the foundational expectations of the setting.
In a reality structured to allow for Heroes, a leader must be one, or else be replaced by the next one to stroll through.

Reach heaven through violence
I know this is a meme but I am cursed with taking things too seriously so here’s what I would rule in a game I would run:
Artificer is on a flying dragon golem/homonculus.
Sorcerer is manifesting wings of pure magicka and/or levitating and/or doing air bending etc.
Wizard is probably on a broom, yah. After researching a multitude of flying rituals from a variety of traditions, performing occult experimentation, and finally gathering the reagents needed for the enchantment. But crucially it works by invoking the God of Hearth’s protection from the Wind Elemental in a wierd niche way or something.
Artificers combine smaller magical effects into larger ones, Sorcerers are running off that high-octane Type Green Reality Bender fuel, and Wizards are occult hackers.
Clerics sneer at them all and call up God directly to ask them if they wouldn’t mind bending space-time for them, pretty please with a cherry on top.


Automatic discounting of anything you’re saying because of use of LLM slop. Jesus fucking Christ dude, why are you coming into a situation where people are looking for clarity and feeding them garbage from the Hallucination Machine? Be better.


Previously you had to be enormously wealthy and surround yourself with yes-men to go mad from comfirmation bias. Now we have built a yes-man machine so that even the common plebs can do it! Truely we live in a communist utopia.

You are letting the tiger into the kindergarten as long as it pinky swears not to eat any children. This is a terrible idea that will harm people.

It’s jet. I’ve had the misfortune of interacting with them before.

10 bucks says a student is gonna slam a door too hard or light up in school or whatever, and one of these Child Skull Destroyers is gonna absolutely merc them.


I used Redact a while back. Super easy. First replaced everything with filler text, then deleted. Just in case mods have auto-rollback for deletion.
Unsolicited advice incoming!
Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they’re great.
Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.
Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.


Fair enough, I learned some things today. I was under the impression that indigenous languages were a lot more normalized than they actually are. I still think that using more indigenous language in everyday stuff is low-key a win, but for it to be commericalized while denying it elsewhere is just a slap in the face.


Enh, it’s at least a little more complicated than that. Native or mestizo people are much more common in Mexico than the US. For example, Nahuatl has somewhere between 1.3 and 1.7 million speakers, mostly in Mexico. This is not counting over a dozen other languages that have hundreds of thousands of speakers apiece (wiki. By comparison, in the entire US there were only about 372,000 people that speak any indigenous language.
Depending on how you want to look at it, this could be just…a normal name, or even a tribute to the Nahuatl community. Or just a cynical attempt to sell more cars by looking inclusive. How many people need to speak a language before it’s ‘normal’, after all? We don’t go asking Italians before we put stuff in Latin. Or the Irish before we sell St Paddy’s Day shirts. Etc.


The chat built into my hospital’s charting software has the ‘thumbs up’ react so you can quickly and easily show that you’ve read it. So for me it just means ‘heard’, ‘roger’, etc.
Yah, a few games do this, mostly in the OSR space. Macchiato Monsters and Stay Frosty are the ones that spring to mind.
Although there’s not much point in doing it unless you’re tracking travel etc.
