I primarily remember Lichtenstein because of A Knight's Tale.

The Lolth thing turned out to be a misunderstanding with a Drider. The character was not high WIS or INT.

I had a character who's backstory wasn't too far off from that. The career changes weren't entirely voluntary, though, and usually were because he had suddenly lost all his money and needed to go adventuring again to rebuild his wealth. By the time the campaign was set, he was close to a millennium old, borderline senile, and making some very outrageous claims about things he had supposedly done in the past, like getting into a bar fight with Selune during the Time of Troubles or having once dated Lolth.

Not really an English thing so much as a math thing that makes too much sense to not use elsewhere. For instance, in math you might have x[3 - 7{3y + (a * b)}]. I haven't actually seen them go deeper than three sets, though, so I'm not sure what would be next.

Or he could have used brackets.

I did 30 instead of 3 and forgot about it once. Granted, I was about eight or nine at the time...

It still bugs me that the old drive connections are called PATA now and not IDE.

Other than the cooking thing, which is more us understanding it's better for us than a hard requirement, humans are actually amazing omnivores. Dogs and wolves are some of our closest competitors there and we're still miles ahead.

Ye olde sieges cut off supply lines and forced the defenders to subsist on rations. Once those started running low, they started starving. Eventually the options were starve to death or surrender. These sieges frequently lasted months and sometimes years. Given travel times, it could also be weeks before anyone realized something was wrong and mobilized a force to break the siege.

Ukraine can only do infrequent drone raids. In order to properly siege Moscow, they would need to lock down all ways in and out of the city, and keep it that way for months, possibly longer given modern food preservation techniques and the viability of backyard farming. Additionally, sieging a city no longer prevents the people from communicating with the outside world, meaning other Russian forces would respond in days.

There's a popular urban legend that Square was on the verge of going under and expected the game to be their last, hence the title, but in reality what happened was that the creator wanted the game to initialize as FF and his first choice, Fighting Fantasy, was already taken. He was planning on retiring after the game was published, though, so he eventually settled on Final Fantasy. Still didn't work out, though, because he directed 1-5 and then contributed to 6-10.

Actually introduced in Ripto's Rage. The Reignited version backported them to the first game, though.

Might just be because I'm just starting out, but Spider-Man's combat is much more punishing for me. Could just be the higher emphasis on using specific combos on certain enemies, which I have some difficulty keeping straight.

They also said popularized, though. System Shock never really got beyond cult classic status, so while it invented them, I'd say BioShock popularized them.

Most non-non-heinous.

He's clearly a divine soul sorcerer who went to zero HP one session, then remembered he had Unearthly Recovery the next session but had already rolled a new character.

They're cool, but the runabout is where it's at. It's basically a warp-capable RV. And the Danube-class has a torpedo launcher to clear up trafic jams.

Druid-barb combo? Rage while wildshaped?

For some, sure. Pathfinder 2e doesn't allow full multiclassing, though, which some characters would probably benefit from in terms of adaptational accuracy.

The Sorcerer Supreme is, ironically, a wizard.

Abandoning citizenship usually requires jumping through hoops, and I wouldn't be surprised if she had to return to Russia to file the paperwork.

In other instances, though, it's actually really easy to inherit multiple citizenship, especially if one of those is American. You're automatically an American citizen if you were born in the US or if either of your parents was an American citizen at the time of your birth. Additionally, anyone born to two Russian parents is automatically a Russian citizen, or if they were born in Russia to at least one Russian parent. So if a Russian couple who went to America after the USSR collapsed but didn't bother renouncing their citizenship and then had kids, those kids would have both Russian and American citizenship. Alternatively, if an American citizen went to the Russian Federation and had a child with a local, the child would also have dual citizenship.
