i apologize in advance for the shoddy footage of this once-in-a-generation event. this was the only copy we could license on our budget. tell you what: why don't you try going to another news provider to watch the video, and then just... come back here to read the story?

okay, you're back now? alright, just pretend that you didn't hear about this yet. alright, here we go.

well folks, you heard it here first: after millennia of stagnation, it seems that the mammal stacking scene has been brought back into global relevance... and it's all thanks to the talented antnards at the gigglegrub provincial zoo and bar.

from what we've heard, the crew behind this feat is intending to take on the dreaded four-stack, once believed to be a TAS-exclusive stack for mammals. you can bet we'll be tuning into the event, sponsored by sloppco energy, when it airs live in early 2027.

@AuthorialGail I think a lot of this is also that WotC doesn't necessarily see GMs as players too but as a sadly necessary part of the game that they'd like to automate away for a subscription fee. There's an increasing focus on player experience, but GMs just kinda get tossed to the wolves

@alicealeph0 @armourgraces ADHD was officially described clinically in 1957 so 70 years is cutting it close TBH. I think you have to go back to pre-Victorian times before I'd agree with you, and even then I don't think I totally do? Accidents were a lot deadlier in the past, for one thing

[SolidGarretty Forever @Garrodactyl]

@armourgraces AFAIK it's polygenic but highly heritable, and there's recently been some work implicating a few genes related to synaptic pruning specifically. no smoking gun biomarker, but the same is true for ADHD
