My cat Luna died five years ago next week. She was the best cat that ever existed and there’s still a hole in my heart.

:(

The crazy thing is that the Dutch (or the people who lived in what is now the Low Countries) were winning that war pretty handily until like eight thousand years ago. Then they lost Doggerland to the sea.

Their descendants remember, though. The Dutch will rise again.

I enjoy a good non-oversexualized depiction of Samus. She’s an absolute badass. But everyone just wants to drool at her skin tight blue suit.

I’m a process chemist. I do this sort of thing for a living.

These guys don’t even know why what they’re suggesting is so dangerous. Do not do any of this.

  1. Hack together a proof of concept
  2. Works well enough that management slaps a “done” sticker on it
  3. Pile of hacks becomes load bearing
  4. One or two dependencies change, the whole thing falls over
  5. Set evenings and weekends on fire to fix it
  6. Management brags about moving fast and breaking things, engineers quit and become cabbage farmers and woodworkers
  7. New graduates are hired, GOTO 1

For a short adventure / one-shot, I played an intelligence-based tome warlock (using some of the play test materials). His patron was… himself, in the past. He was a terrible evil wizard who realized the error of his ways, wiped his own memory, and restarted. His tome was just his old spell book, most of which was pretty gnarly stuff. Slowly finding that out would have been a fun journey if he was a long-term character.

Libertarianism is a theory espoused to those with good intentions by people that have bad intentions.

It doesn’t work for almost anyone. But it super works for some. That’s the point.
