Dracoliches (skeleton dragon wizards) are also a thing in D&D.

Don’t half-ass two things when you should whole-ass one thing.

Rule As Written

Hey! Less talk, more give!

I always wind up playing The Manipulator (aka The Smart One). Even when I’d rather play The Idiot.

The group I play with… they’re not dumb, but I am much better at puzzles & problem solving. So if I try to play a character who wouldn’t know how to get out of this-or-that situation, or wouldn’t know how to solve a puzzle, I wind up subtly nudging my cohorts into the right answers, and even then they don’t get my hints and I wind up outwardly handling the situation that my dimwitted character shouldn’t be able to handle.

They’re eating each other.

Consider this: A person has their iPhone battery replaced with a cheap Chinese 3rd party battery. A month later, the battery catches fire, injuring the person. Which headline do you honestly believe will run:

• Apple iPhone catches fire, injures owner.

• Unauthorized replacement iPhone battery catches fire, injures owner.

They’re going way too far with those energy drinks.

Man, I know sewer technicians who can’t run their company into the ground as fast as Musk with X.

Well I’m not going to buy any more Unity games, and I’m going to uninstall any Unity games I have. Fuck those guys.

Fuck you and your ads.

The way I see it, there a pattern:

• Some companies rush some new tech to market and it’s clunky / not user-friendly / a flop.

• Apple releases their own version of same tech, but it has a refined user-friendly interface that’s popular and successful.

• The other companies work to revise their products to match Apple’s successful version.

• Haters all scramble to say “Apple didn’t do it first, blah blah blah…”
