Everyday you wake up is a good day. What happens after that is another story.

@S_R_Ellison @SandyofCthulhu It’s not always “bad DMing.” If you give your players enough warnings of potential death with in game mentions of how to prepare for, or avoid, the encounter & they STILL do it anyway? Well, it’s no longer on the GM’s hands what happens.

Bro won the lottery.

This is the most relatable kind of autism, tbh.

Hey @FedEx, is it normal for tracking to not update for 96+ hours? My package hasn't. Your system said it was scheduled for delivery yesterday. It's now basically saying that you don't have any clue where my package is or when it will be delivered.

THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS ARE GOING BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SandyofCthulhu First thought was Odysseus should be the human. That would mean that muppets would be killed off as his crew. Instead, make him a muppet with the crew being human. You can have an all-star cast of humans, and muppets, playing the various encounters along the way.

@Nerdcognito I need to find the atlas for these. I have started doing physical items for various things like maps, letters, and certain relics. I love the look on my players’ faces when I pull out a physical letter a courier just handed to them.

I like “tacticool” looking backpacks.

Every manufacturer of said product:

“AND HERES 7 SECRET POCKETS FOR YOUR GUN!”

I don’t want a secret pocket for my gun. I just want a fucking backpack. My gun is gunna stay in my waist band pointed at my dick like a normal person.

@CorpseKings That’s one of the reasons I enjoy Cyberpunk over Shadowrun. The other reason is no magic.

[Gaming the Better Of @GamingtheBetter]

@fandompulse And again, another reason to add to the list of why I will never buy/play this game. I don’t care if it’s free, it’s staying out of my library of games.

[Gaming the Better Of @GamingtheBetter]

@ChrisWickNews Shut up frostback.

[Gaming the Better Of @GamingtheBetter]

@pureMetatron Yes.

@LaNativePatriot This is going to be an ancient magic weapon in my TTRPG now.

Getting positive reactions from people who don’t understand Star Trek is not the flex you think it is. Dismissing the fan base that has kept the franchise alive for decades, for the non-existent modern audience is a fast way to kill whatever franchise you are working on.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Section 31 actor Rob Kazinsky explains why viewers should come to new Star Trek with different expectations:

“Star Trek isn’t for you, it’s for everyone. That means if you don’t like Star Trek, that’s fine, don’t like it, don’t ruin it for everybody else. I’m seeing a lot of positive reactions from people who don’t really know Star Trek that well. Those are the people that we were trying to hit.”

“I encourage everyone to view it not with lower expectations but with new expectations."

What are these new expectations he's talking about?

@BernieSanders Taxation is theft.

[Habitual Linecrosser @HLC_actual]

We should have someone run independent for the next election on the following issues and just watch the system implode.

Full release of Epstein files
Bar congress from stock trading
Nation wide registry for animal abusers
Public execution for pedos
Federally legalize cannabis (because fuck big pharma)
Cut off large cash payments to other countries (including Israel)

I know I’m missing some things but it’s a start.

Schiavone: “It was one of the bloodiest matches.”

This coming from the same promotion that has people fall through glass, staple guns, needles, barbed wire, & a multitude of other weapons on a regular basis. Yeah, sure, @AEW.

Elder Scrolls, but really Bethesda in general.

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock2]

What game?

[Gaming the Better Of @GamingtheBetter]

I would bet that they wouldn’t be saying this if Netflix had won the bid.

[Variety @Variety]

Pedro Pascal and Florence Pugh are the latest actors to condemn Paramount buying Warner Bros. in an open letter that's now been signed by more than 2,000 Hollywood names.

"We are deeply concerned by indications of support for this merger that prioritize the interests of a small group of powerful stakeholders over the broader public good. The integrity, independence, and diversity of our industry would be grievously compromised," read the letter. "Competition is essential for a healthy economy and a healthy democracy. So is thoughtful regulation and enforcement. Media consolidation has already weakened one of America's most vital global industries—one that has long shaped culture and connected people around the world."

@SandyofCthulhu I recently had a conversation with my friends/group about whether or not they are having fun & what I can do to help them have more fun. Because, I have fun when they are having fun. The next 2 sessions have improved & I am enjoying game prep again.
