ttrpgposting, understatement 

i think they maybe should not have gone quite so pulpy with the example settings that are going to be in in the forthcoming Questworlds supplement Worlds & Quests (which are among the games used for the running examples in the corebook)

quiz shows 

i would think that a quiz show would be one of the less momentum-based competitions

Amol is always saying at the end of University Challenge matches htat it's all about momentum, but is it really?

@wallhackio that classic theological issue, the problem of sun

el cantar de mio cid has a rlly nice rhythm to it

poképosting 

if a pokemon somehow simultaneously had every type, it would be:

  • immune to normal, fighting, poison, ground, ghost, electric, psychic, and dragon
  • take 1/16 damage from Bug and Grass
  • take 1/2 damage from Steel and Dark
  • take normal damage from Flying, Fire, Water, Ice, and Fairy
  • take double damage from Rock

whoops tonight the players took on two independently very difficult encounters that as written in this adventure path you shouldn't have to fight both of at all (they voluntarily chose to attack the other boss who was explicitly not joining the fight after engaging the others)

three of them are KOed in the company of someone who likes to eat people and the other fled. there might need to be three new PCs?

for example in "ley" [lei] vs. "leyes" ['le.ʃes]

i really enjoy the morphophonological alternation of orthographic final in rioplatense spanish between semivowel vs. post-alveolar sibilants

@xsssm plus there's like that whole range from like "a little steam is coming off" thru "extremely boiling" and it's a pain to tell where in that range it is and also where in that range you need to get to for whatever yr doing.

@wallhackio if you wanna be miserable watching things i recommend Argentina, 1985 and La Historia Oficial

the murderer in this columbo episode sounds like tom lehrer

state terrorism 

yeah okay who could have guessed than the movie from 1983 about a woman who comes to suspect that her adopted daughter was taken from a disappeared person during the last dictatorship would be not a fun time.

literally anyone. including me.

nonetheless.

@wallhackio is this better or worse than enjoying "shake it" by metro station

@Satsuma @aescling i like being able to check the instance in the morning to see what y'all posted after i went to sleep

food 

if only we had a very tall pot to make a whole package of curry in at once (i mean, we did do that, but we had to use two pots)

on the other hand, then we would have to store a very tall pot
