She is the daintiest little thing and the noises that she makes like elephant grunts 🥰🥰

We have two others a 17 year old lab mix I've had since he was 4 months old and a 10 year old beagle shepherd that my wife got while we were dating/roommates

She's part staffie part beagle part pug part American Eskimo dog part pit all 35 lbs of love 😄

Someone who got her litter mate did one of those genetic tests and that was the top 5 lol just a mutt

It's Eevee!

With most of Twix behind her lol

I love BG3 as a video game, but I feel like Hasbro is going to take a lot of the ideas and try their best to translate them into the trrpg space and shittify both on the way through.

I'd agree with your first point re: D&D ®️ esp re 5th Edition. My wife took a long time to get in to ttrpgs, something that I've enjoyed for over 30 years bc I kept trying to do the D&D®️ thing. I'd recommend you try other games that actually "play" at the table. Dungeon World is great and almost anything in the PbtA family does such a great job of driving the action forward (5e doesn't), having actual stakes and danger (5e doesn't), actually meaningful character choices (5e doesn't), not a beat-the-designer/video-gamist philosophy (5e DOES have this), and not ran by a shitty corporation that hires mercenary thugs to intimidate people, since literally anyone can make a PbtA game about anything.

Agree 💯 on the d20. I think it works in some games, notable Mörk Borg and like b/x D&D - games where if you are rolling dice, you already have fucked up

I can't speak to the groups you played with , but have you tried getting people that aren't in to the hobby in to it? I run games for new players often and they never have the baggage I think you're speaking about

Re the preparation you do, be sure to always prep situations not plots. There should be a law that states "the more prep the DM puts into a game is directly proportional to how quickly the players will force their prep off the rails". The game is a conversation, and I think D&D®️ 5e has fucked this up bc of how they format their adventures WITHOUT EVER TELLING YOU HOW TO ACTUALLY RUN A GAME! Plus, Christ they are fucking textbooks written by committee! I would say a couple things, first: look at Dungeon World as a guideline for how to format your adventures, and second: don't plan huge arcs, just plan individual moments that you want to happen. The characters will get there, even if it is a roundabout way. The Lazy DM by Sly Flourish has a lot of help here that can work for any game, and there's this blog post that talks about the literal easiest foolproof prep method.

Your last point doesn't make sense... Check out itch.io and their physical games category. There are RPGs for literally any genre or setting you can think of. TinyD6 and FAE are two really good generic games that if you can't find your setting, you just slap these bad boys in there and you have an RPG

It really is a fun and exciting hobby and I'm sorry you've had a bad time previously.

They are remaking Wizardry 1 under the banner Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord in early access on Steam

In 2000, New York magazine reported that two of Elite’s senior women executives had pleaded with both Casablancas and Marie to stop sleeping with underage models, but had been ignored. (“We are men,” Marie reportedly said. “We have our needs.”) In 2011, the Elite supermodel and actor Carré Otis alleged that Marie had repeatedly raped her when she was a 17-year-old model in Paris in the 1980s.

Just a bunch of cunts, the whole bunch

Like and so many people knew about it idk

This is a pretty interesting read about Casablancas' situation re underage models in the 80s and 90s

Oh John Casablancas, Trump's homey from the early 90s when they both liked hanging out with underage models via the Look of the Year contest. Same John Casablancas who was a sexual assaulter of those same underage girls and who was begged by his assistant to "stop having sex with underage girls"

Crazy how Trump surrounds himself with dudes that like to do weird shit with underage girls and weird sex trafficking shit like John Casablancas and Alan Dershowitz and Ralph Shortey and George Nader and the Fanjul bros and Roy Cohn and Epstein and how Trump has ties to AMI/Black Cube, the weird mercenary intelligence company Weinstein used just like Trump did to buy rights to stories and kill them before they could be released to the public

Teflon Don indeed

Like, I don't hang out with pedophile sex trafficking assholes. It's not hard to just not do that, and the benefit is I've never been accused of anything.

Crazy

I mean, libertarianism is a broad concept that extends way past the Koch-funded redefining of the word. Bakunin would strongly disagree that a libertarianistic society would require control resting in the hands of the oligarchs/businesses.

I'd throw in for Persona 5

I'm happy that after a really lame start to the year (getting canned from my long time job and bouncing from job to job for a couple months) I finally got settled making way more money that lets me be home every night & weekend with my wife, and practice music with some good friends

Natural 20s don't matter except on attack rolls RAW

I thought about that but if I need it that bad I can put it on my phone and put some earbuds in BUT what's crazy is I even tried mirroring my screen from my phone to my desktop via USB and it STILL blocked the video like it didn't throw up the error it normally does, but it def was a turd about it

What's shit is that like it'll play trailers and I can browse and get the little pre-watch thing like when you hover over a show going so I know it's just a setting they can flip on their end but they won't. I sent them a trouble ticket and they just give some generic "go look at our supported devices list" response

Like OG I make solid money and I'll pay for the content you guys have bc you're not busting balls like other streaming services but like work with me and let me watch it on whatever device I want or having to give out my log in info to other people so I can watch MY account on THEIR device

mastodon.social/@kayfnfabe that's our mastodon. We just do watch alongs for wrestling lol but we're pretty funny and we have a pretty good time. Thanks for the interest!

Nope. Tried multiple spoofs on multiple browsers and nada.. just shitty Peacock lol

Peacock won't even work on Linux and it drives me crazy. I sail frequently, but my friends and I do a podcast where we watch old pro wrestling. WWE moved all their content over to Peacock. A lot of that old Mid South or Mid Atlantic wrestling isn't on the high seas, so... Somebody has to screen share through my log in when we record. It's just so dumb like just let me watch what I pay for.

Synchronic starring Anthony Mackie was pretty good, I thought

No, he just dehumanizes trans people and reduces them to their genitals and is generally tone-deaf to all of that.

Quotes from The Closer:

"...The transgenders..."

"Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from."

"And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!"

"If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying."

"...trans-bitch from the picture."

"A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have."

"I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover."

" “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such."

"Gender is a fact."

"Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?"

"I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice."

I'm not going to quote his story about the one trans person who passed whatever litmus test he decided to implement to determine if someone deserves his respect or not, but it summed up to the equivalent of someone saying something racist and finishing with, "well, I have black friends, though!"

Literal hot trash

Word was a seahorse. I narrowed it down to saltwater fish and asked if it had teeth and it replied thumbs up. Seahorse doesn't have teeth, son

You're thinking of Glide. Gilead is a genus of sun spiders
