Then I wish for two more wishes.

Then I wish that wishes are an absolute value.

Then I wish for a million fewer wishes.

I do love the “elves are diapers till age 12” joke though…

Castlevania, on Netflix (or the pira sea)

I like how I linked to a specific part of that article that bypasses the typical rebuttals from trolls, so you had to pretend I hadn’t.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t even click the link

Your life on the fediverse improves significantly if you just block the entire lemmy.ml and hexbear.net instances.

Yeah but… I don’t remember ever seeing this.

What game is this from?

Ah, most tabletop roleplaying games, like DnD, tend to have a sort of chaotic “we didn’t think this through properly” seat-of-your-pants energy where the group bumbles from situation to situation and somehow still manages to succeed. There’s also a strong tendency of there being wildly different characters who somehow still work really well together.

Yes, this is one of the best tabletop-rpg-party movies ever made. Like The Mummy or The Princess Bride.

Edit: or Treasure Planet

I would 100% play a decent XCOM tabletop rpg

Ah, I did not know that.

Quite literally, in the case of VTM

It’s a very 2nd edition way to solve it. Ahhh old D&D giving us ranges and not dice

My cats agree with you. Having musty, wet hemp ropes laying around is apparently the best thing ever.

I once bought 2cm thick hemp rope for reenactment purposes (can’t recommend, it’s worse than nylon and costs more and maintaining it sucks).

I don’t have any spare, but I chucked some on a scale, and it seems to be about 250 grams per meter, for about 8.5lbs per 50ft.

So D&D rope is even thicker, or its tarred (which you absolutely should do if you dislike drying rope).

time is the one resource Big Tech steals that we can’t ever get back.

That’s an odd argument, since DIY takes significantly more time than just buying a solution.

By… Stepping outside and talking to people? I think all neighborhoods have that ability, even if we don’t really use it much.

Because you, and everyone, is in a huge bubble.

Normal people don’t give a shit where stuff is hosted, or if it’s hosted at all. The vast majority of people couldn’t care less what happens to their catpics if their phone gets crushed and they don’t want to use a separate messaging platform just to talk to you.

The things you think are important absolutely don’t matter to them. Most people don’t give a single second of thought to where their documents should live, and will just download it again on a second device instead of synchronizing anything.

It’s really nice that these things exist, but why would someone do anything with them if they literally don’t have a purpose for it?

The answer is pretty simple:

Peter Jackson isn’t nearly as good at telling a consistent story as Tolkien was. This scene isn’t in the books.

does your Nederlands influence your Engels?

I’d like to think it doesn’t, but yeah, I can ALWAYS hear when a dutch person speaks english, so it probably does. Also, “Dunglish” is one of funniest/worst accents.
