standing up and blacking out for a few seconds is just transitioning from a cutscene to the actual gameplay

What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

I think we need to appreciate this part of Brennan Lee Mulligan's WIRED interview a lot more:

"The evangelical right in this country needs to manufacture outrage to hold onto its voting block. [The satanic panic about DnD] was arbitrary, as the targets of their outrage always are. Fight the power."

In the D&D campaign I'm running with my wife's siblings, one of them learned about how trolls regenerate within minutes of any damage not caused by fire or acid, and then asked why people don't just like. Cage them and eat them, forever. Why there aren't troll meat dungeons in the king's castle as a safeguard against sieges or famines.

And you know, I thought it was a fair question, so I said that if you eat enough troll meat, you start getting troll-y. And then I went further and just treated it like troll flesh is a general contaminant - if you eat enough troll, you'll turn into a troll, but if you bury enough dead troll flesh in a forest, the trees will start growing in strange ways, and will scream and heal and bleed when you hit them with axes.

I liked this idea. So as we played further, I just played around with the idea of Troll Origins, and I came up with something sort of like the Odyssey, but instead stealing Helios's cattle, it was Hathor's, and the horrible, awful, unending immortality was her curse of the army that pillaged her lands. A god of healing does not condemn you to die, she condemns you to live.

And then I got this fun idea for maybe the king that led the army is still kind of alive in the troll taint. Like a sort of literal fisher king. The kingdom is sick because he is, literally, the kingdom. The trees that bleed, bleed his blood and their screams are his screams. He is both the faintly green bear running down the mountain and the faintly green deer and there is no way past this without suffering. He is the entire ecosystem, and he eats nothing but himself and he dreams nothing but death and yet still, on and on and on and on, he lives.

Anyway they're traveling next session so I'm throwing this shit at them. I already have some gross ideas for like. Describing everything like it's a body (flowers red as blood, white as bone, pink as meat, grass fine as hair) then finally throwing horrible living things at them. Trees that grow eyeballs that turn and stare at them, or flowers with teeth instead of petals and trolls that speak in long dead tongues about how they wish they'd never tried to rob a god.

Anyway I'm passing this on because this is my new troll lore and I want it to become canonized in the way that all D&D lore becomes canonized: By having eople read it and go "oh, neat" then start doing that too.

I think my life would be a lot more enjoyable if I could experience the need to shower as a physical urge like being hungry or needing to pee. So instead of sitting here like "eugh I know that I probably should, but I don't want to get up, uuuuuugh", I could just get pressured by a compelling need to go in the shower that I can't ignore, and can't focus on anything until I've finally given in and taken the damn shower.

And just stepping in and turning the water on would be a blissful instant relief like ohh fuck yeah that's good, this is precisely what I needed.

"are you alive" no. leave me alone. #mygrave

Another fun thing I do with customers - specifically parents of very small children who don’t know they’re alive yet - is directly imply I think the coffee is for the baby, not the parent. and lemme tell you, like 70% of parents eat that shit up. They immediately go along with the bit and start discussing it with their newborn child, while the baby just stares at us like 😮

“Fighting that leads to sex” this “fighting then making out” that

Fighting that leads nowhere. Fighting fully clothed, then dragging our tired asses out for a strong drink and some trash diner food. Not talking much. Maybe one of us breaks the silence and says ‘man, I kinda liked that’, and then the other says ‘shut up, jackass’

the thing about small talk is that it's literally fun

Sometimes I like drawing Moriarty spiraling or depressed because I remember I'm not a very happy person

"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?

David Hampton planted douglas fir and larch trees in a forest in Oregon to resemble a face. Every autumn the larch pines turn orange and the smiley face stands out.

The most obvious way Sebastian handles stress is through physical exertion. A soldier-turned-hitman, he’s conditioned to rely on movement to channel aggression and anxiety. He has an obsessive workout routine, likely including weightlifting, boxing, and long-distance running. The rhythmic, repetitive strain of exercise helps him clear his head, and it’s not just about staying in peak condition—it’s an ingrained coping mechanism.

When stress boils over, however, Moran’s physical outlet turns darker. He already has an inclination toward violence, not necessarily out of sadism, but because it’s cathartic - this situation is no different. A bar fight, an underground boxing match, or just a brutally efficient takedown of someone who’s annoyed him—it all serves the same purpose.
