I have a very bad case of disc hernia, and today, I had back surgery to fix it—somehow. For the last two weeks, I was completely bedridden, and all I did was play games and read books.

Two days ago, I finished Avowed as a wizard, clocking in around 55 hours. I guess it stuck with me subconsciously because while waking up from general anesthesia, I started screaming, “I am a wizard! I am a wizard!” multiple times.

I had no idea I was coming out of surgery, and I only realized it when my doctor said, “Okay, wizard, can you raise your leg for me?” At that moment, my brain went: “Wait, why is this NPC asking me to raise my leg? Oh… why am I in a bed? Oh… this looks like a hospital!”

It finally clicked that I was still under anesthesia, but by then, everyone was smiling at me like, “Okay, wizard!”

Doc be like "Oh I see you've returned to the living lands"

I work in a GI lab and one of the funniest things I heard when a patient was waking up was, "You guys were so good I'm coming back for another colonoscopy tomorrow!"

I doubt that's the weirdest thing the doctors have heard people under those drugs say.

New D&D meme just dropped: Okay, ~~boomer~~ wizard.

What if you really are a wizard and you’re actually now in a coma in your reality? This could all be a dream, OP.

That's the backstory to the Invisible Sun table top game

Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Not OP, but I'm about 8 hours in and love it so far. It definitely has a few things I'd prefer it tweak, like a lack of HDR support on PC and no custom map markers, but they're simply annoying, not deal breakers.
