Likely my last post here. Haven’t been on here in weeks and the direction the site is taking is just getting worse, not better. I wish you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again other places. Sad to see one person burn down something that meant so much to so many.

@blkmathmagic I asked my family, and they all said “cake”. But I’m the one with the Twitter account and I say “other”. I could probably be convinced “tart” (which I take to be a pie with no top).

@JesseJerdak ... space is frozen while while those inside can operate freely for dX hours. Attempts to leave the space end the time-freeze prematurely. May not be used again for 1 week. On a failure, roll and take dX mental damage, but the orb may be used again after 24 hours.

@JesseJerdak Orb of Shared Experience

A palm-sized polyhedron that seems to shift shape and colour every time you look away from it.

Within an enclosed space (such as a room) select a dX (d4 through d20). Make a CHA check with DC X+10. On a success, roll and time outside the enclosed...

@JoeSondow Around May 2020, my family and I decided to pull out Pandemic to feel a sense of agency given the IRL pandemic.

We got a terrible draw of cards, chain reaction outbreaks, and lost before everyone had their second turn.

It didn’t help us feel better.

@WFKARS @ChuckWendig Definitely have used another form of the word, may have used it before, but certainly not commonly.

@duolingo Wow... have a look through these responses. Not one positive comment that I’ve seen so far. You probably have about 2 days to revert this or all these people are gone for good. I’m about ready to say goodbye to my 600 day steak and Duolingo in general too.

[Andrew Baker @ehzed]

@duolingo So you pushed out a half-finished revamp that your most loyal users hate? Today is my 600-streak day and I’m doubting I’ll make it much further if this gets pushed to me. Some days I’m energetic and want a new lesson. Other days I’m tired and want review. This is a terrible plan.

@octobergeek @paizo I, too, checked to make sure I hadn’t lost a day somehow!

[Andrew Baker @ehzed]

@kaycreigh That would need a LOT of quarters....

Thanks for the paint company on Twitch tonight, @JesseJerdak! This is the tiny swamp bank I painted from @dwarvenforge during your stream.

@MaryRobinette Mary Robinette: I'm going to record an audiobook tonight!

(I’m guessing)

@itsginnydi I’ve seen instances where multiple successive successes are required to accomplish a goal, not just a single one. Sure they get 20 on their roll to convince Vecna to give up his evil ways and open a cupcake shop. Keep going, you only need 4 more....

@camilaveeee Nothing says “you should definitely discuss your salaries” louder than being told you’re not supposed to discuss your salary.

@cosplayandnails I know - it’s like a phone number that start 555-...

@sallylepage Not classic Disney but all 3 seasons of The Orville are now available. I was skeptical at first, but it handles a lot of serious topics with dignity while still being extremely funny. (Disclosure, haven’t watched S3 yet personally.)

@howie_hua Take the top quarter and the bottom quarter off and it’s X

@TheOperaGeek Sorry I was late! My ADHD made me a bit of different stuff to do

[Andrew Baker @ehzed]

@howie_hua Overall, your content has been a constant source of inspiration to me as I’ve been aiming to get my own math educational materials put together (but struggling to make the time for it).

[Andrew Baker @ehzed]

@howie_hua I think the video that has stuck with me the most is the diagonal lattice multiplication method. I’d never seen it before but it was fascinating to lean and understandable in a short video.
