If you are referring to the final frame, it is a direct quote from the Good Place S4 E1. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/6dfb15d4-f2e3-4d94-8849-f99279feb1c4
You may want to then direct your grammar policing to the showrunners or the actor who ad-libbed the line, rather than to the meme maker.
Is it bad that my first thought goes to “have you tried a federal database that keeps track of guns, gun owners, and gun ownership applicants?” And yet I know this new idiocy is far more likely to happen than the much more reasonable yet somehow illegal federal gun registry.
“Would incest be okay if we could guarantee no reinforcement of bad recessives?”
“I want space travel, to live forever, and make an AI human for… Reasons.”
“Get off my lawn, big government!”
That tracks.
Playing the base solo campaign in SWtOR and actually listening to the dialogue and following the story with each class I think gives a similar feeling (so long as you skip the non-story quests). Star Wars IP can be good.
Most people hear “<blank> bubble” and think “oof, that’s not a good thing.”
Capitalists (the ones with the actual capital) hear the same thing and think “just imagine how rich I’ll be if I get out right before it pops! Blow more hot air into it! Quickly!”
Make dndbeyond good/better, invest in 3rd party VTT integrations, and keep selling books through those channels. Keep partnering with 3rd party content creators to get a cut of their profits selling through dndbeyond.
I’d stop trying to disrupt the industry or chase massive profits, and just be okay with reasonable profits.
They’d oust me in a week.
I enjoyed watching Harmonquest, the episodes of which have parts video of the table and parts animated story. It’s a comedy show, for the most part, which genre appeals to me. Past, that, I enjoy a good actual play podcast, sans video, like BomBARDed or NaDDPod, both of which are also comedic stories.
Just watching a group play a game can indeed be boring. But if that game is just a format for the genre of entertainment you already enjoy, that’s the appeal.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion
The fusion of light elements up to a certain nucleus size releases energy. However, fusion only occurs at very high temperatures and pressures. The goal is to 1) create the conditions for nuclear fusion (which they did), 2) have the fusion reaction produce energy that sustains those conditions (they did for 48 seconds), and ideally a tiny bit more, 3) gather residual energy that isn’t critical to the reaction itself, which is the part that looks like a steam engine.
Meanwhile, Tristaniopsis is a synonym for Santorum, and I’ve never been able to credit anyone who goes by that moniker with any amount of respect.
Do you know how derogatory words work? You’re perpetuating the thing you disrespect with your own comment.
RIP Mitch :(
Alas, “lies like a rug” is entirely an English idiom, and is not what she said.
She used “lies like a grey gelding,” which is tantamount to calling him “too old and incompetent to be trusted to do the work required of him.”
I’ve found that the least inspiring behaviors of players, from my perspective as a DM, are when they hack and slash in combat. Whether it’s built into the system, or you brew it on, giving players free skill checks alongside (rather than instead of) their normal combat turns can make things significantly more engaging and rewarding (for both them and the DM).
Something about English wants me to say it should be “Battle of the Santas Clause,” but not knowing any of the rules, I couldn’t tell you why.
In 5e: Simon the Devious and the Leather Skins (from What We Do In The Shadows) as a Dhampir Hexblade Warlock with Pact of the Chain.
Between the chain familiar (Count Rapula), a zombie from Undying Servitude (Ken the Accountant), Summon Undead (Blagvlad the Exsanguinator, or Desdemona the Shrieker, or Impussa) and an Accursed Specter (Carol), you have a 4-person posse by level 6. It grows situationally or permanently when you gain access to Danse Macabre, Create Undead, and Finger of Death.
Mechanically, you’re done by 13, and can either finish off with Bard (probably Whispers) or Paladin (Oathbreaker). Either way, take Inspiring Leader once you’ve maxed Cha, and then go get yourself that cursed witch’s hat!
If dropping a database scares you, you are either unaware of the disaster recovery process, or there isn’t one. Edumacate yourself, or the org, as appropriate, so as to increase your confidence when dropping databases.
Is that… John Oliver? What a beast.
I read this to my wife.
Her response was “Stop.”
“No honey, that would be the red light.”
It is totally fine to kick or knee or headbutt someone for your unarmed strikes when your hands are busy–this is true with or without Tavern Brawler
Post office too. Really any government office where the public is allowed inside.
Underpaid workers trying to explain bureaucratic minutiae (for which they are not responsible) every single day to people who are not versed in that minutiae, do not want to learn it, cannot learn it, and are preemptively frustrated that they have to have this interaction in the first place. There is no winning–mental health isn’t cheap, do the workers’ resilience only lasts for so many years/months/days before they default to hating the clients, and the clients don’t trust publicly available instructions, thus dooming themselves to the shitty interactions.
The only way to fix this is to take both people out of the equation–preprocess everything that might need to happen for everyone, to the point of turning every transaction into a single trasaction. That requires for every city, county, state, national, international agency to federate, so that you never have to file multiple documents to do a thing.
AI can draw fingers, Midjourney fixed that in their model over a year ago now.
So I’d say we have a real race on our hands!
