Someone in my building managed to set off the fire alarm and cause us to all evacuate at 8am.
I just want to know what the hell they were doing at 8am, honestly. Burning their toast?

So, here is one scene in Icewind Dale II that I always found interesting - one of the main antagonists, Madae, a cambion, confronts Iselore a powerful half-elf druid ally of yours to try and take a powerful magic gem.
Here the villain is absolutely right to tell a "hero" to check their privelage.

The firefighters in VIC right now are honestly just walking legends
Can't believe most of them are volunteers, this is amazing work we're seeing

The sky is tinted orange, people are reporting ash rain, and there are like... ten emergency-level bushfires, now? Plus all the smaller ones?
This is horrifying and apocalyptic and I'm so worried

Victoria is heading into a day of catastrophic fire danger. The forecasts look like Black Saturday's. It'll be 43C+ with gusts up to potentially 110km/h. The bushfires are already burning strong.
Winter was way too dry. I'm pretty fucking scared.

Happy new year, all! Here's to a year of hopefully less *unwanted* shenanigans and more fun stuff instead. Looking forward to Pathfinder with my nerds, board games with friends, and more cat pics from mum!

My heart froze when I read 'CDPR sells GOG'. Thankfully it's actually good news. It's now just independent and self-owned.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

There's currently a massive existential threat to a museum in my hometown. We're hoping that online voices will help protect Banbury Museum from being defunded and shut down. This is a really special place to me & to my family, I'd appreciate help!

This is ASPIRATIONAL. I know this went round a while back and pissed a lot of people off, like to the degree where they were screaming about it being abelist - but I've not seen it with this full context before.
Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.
