Once again, D&D improves society.

Thanks, I just got suspended from school because I submitted a paper written by ChatGPT that called Christopher Columbus a "penis ass vagina bitch."

I read an article written by an inmate who explained how they'd form dice out of toilet paper (because dice were banned in his case) to play D&D. I assumed that was the case in most facilities.

You're marginally less likely to roll a 7 with a single weighted die.

My reasoning: if you use your weighted die, whoever you're gambling against might figure it out. Now they're pissed, they're gonna give you the beat down. But you're packing, and OH SHIT YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT HIM IN THE HEAD YOU WERE AIMING FOR HIS LEG SHIT SHIT and now you're serving jail time for manslaughter and dice aren't allowed in jail, thus you won't be able to roll any 7s for a while.

Once something is posted publicly, there's no "privacy" about it. Disappearing messages and stuff like that doesn't really help. There's nothing to be done about content scraping (which has been going on for decades).

"Listen honey, mommy raised you pretty much on her own because the patriarchy normalized men not contributing to the nurture of their family, and now mommy is one ring stain away from a total mental breakdown complete with arson, okay?"

And that's assuming that all the boxes are the same size. There could be many more than 51 if they're "hiding" in the middle.

Not sure if it supports all of that, but yt-dlp is my go-to.

Also, Wave Race 64 (1996) is sort of entirely based on that... but the water physics were pretty cool at the time, and there were even parts where you could take a jump and dive under obstacles.

Morrowind (2002) not only let you swim, there were spells that could extend your breath and let you walk on water.

They're spooning. Artistic license granted.

Samurai Jack. I still enjoy it as an adult (an interesting case study in storytelling using a minimum of voice/narration).

I got so pumped when foghorn memes were a thing for a week or two.

See, when you have lots of digital hobbies, you can tuck them away in your Folder of Forgotten Hobbies, which is easier to ignore.

"So, how have things been since our last session?"

"Well, my motivation is definitely not dead, but... I'm not sure it's completely alive either. I saw a video on my feed about crocheting and I went on a sort of... binge? I've never crocheted before in my life, but I kinda made half of an afghan in like 2 days and then got distracted and didn't finish it. Is my inner will... undead?"

"No, honey, you just have ADHD."

Gotta have that ^w _o ^b _b ^l _e

Well shit, that's weirdly viable.

Yep, meant it as a joke.

Out of scope for the project, we'll flush it from the backlog and include it in another epic.

They have their own databases, no additional info required.
