both spellings are acceptable. the definition of "curb" as a verb is also consistent with its function as a noun. the difference is cultural, since "kerb" is only the preferred spelling in some places outside of english-speaking areas of North America.
"the city installed a kerb on the roadway to curb dangerous incidents of motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic"
"spelt" follows the same geographical distinction, as "spelled" is the preferred spelling for American english.
still, "kerby" is clearly the better pun, so thank you for that.
was it a car crash video/gif sub? sounds familiar.
I also remember a dank meme with a sketch of jesus and a helicopter pilot, with different dumb captions, like "hit this bong before you takeoff, bro, trust me, my son"
my personal rule is to only lay a trap that has clear potential to be discovered in-game, with a context clue, and not an ambiguous "roll for perception" out of nowhere.
randomly dropping an anvil on a player is a dick move.
telling players they're walking through an active construction site of a new smithing conglomerate, with an unfinished forge 10 meters above them, at least sets the tone and let's them know caution is a reasonable option.
also sets up some weird intrigue that could easily turn into a sidequest.
I had a sort of opposite problem the last time I ran a campaign. my players came into the game super paranoid, probably from reading stories about tricky DMs, and it made my life pretty difficult.
I did set up traps and misdirection, but only when there were exactly enough clues to figure it out. I learned that the major problem with that method, is that what's obviously a clue to me wasn't always obvious for them. so, I was thought of as a tricky DM. then, after I softened up, my sessions looked too easy and obvious.
honestly, it's just a really difficult balance. I eventually got it to a good place for everyone, but everyone really does have a preferred level of deceit, and it isn't easy to cater to a group of 5 with varying levels of expectation
I had a DM once, and they made a weird lake in the middle of the room that we were trying to pass through.
turns out, the lake was full of fish. specifically, herring. more specifically, they were red herring. boy, did we feel stupid after 20 minutes of that nonsense.
I just played through the Prime-hack version on PC, and the mouse + keyboard combo is much more natural for me to enjoy it. Morph ball mode is still a bit difficult to control, but it didn't bother me so much that I couldn't still finish the game at 100%
Updated textures and HUD and widescreen with a custom field of view were also big improvement
I accidentally factory reset a VFD, which has hundreds of configurable options, and only by the grace of potato-quality tech youtubers, I was able to find a small handful of configs to make it work again.
it's reminiscent of the iTunes shuffle at launch. the shuffle was truly random, so with a large enough user base, some people were annoyed that the same artist might get played multiple times in a row. it's a possibility in true random generations, but it felt wrong, so they fixed it and made rules for shuffle so it seemed more random
in my head, I read it like someone was talking, and then had to start shouting over the sound of a train passing by, then return to normal volume as it passed
I first made the switch to android after my iphone 5 died and found out the newer models wouldn't have an aux output. I have significantly more chances to use a 3.5mm plug than bluetooth in my life, so it was an easy choice.
7 years later, and I still have the same phone. No bloat, and updated the way I want it. I charge it once per day at high-performance mode, and the battery is holding strong.
I keep an iphone dongle in my car for friends, because I am a gentleman, but they always remark on how easy it would be to just have the damn aux port.
