Fantasy, RPGs, video games, terrible puns, and Oxford Comma. Both more and less grumpy than I look.

No siema. Postanowiłem zabrać swoje paplanie nt. #exalted poza napadanie znajomych na komunikatorach i zrobić z tego Youtube'a.

It doesn't matter what genre a film/show/video is supposed to be. A character getting violently struck by something coming suddenly into the shot is (almost*) always absolutely hilarious.
Peak slapstick.
Slapspeak.
*can't remember a single instance it wasn't, but I haven't seen everything

Smart Guy: I gave 44 rocks of OpenCrack to my Claudeswarm to regulate my breathing but Gurpsqrl pinged every 1.5s asking “is it time to inhale yet” and smoked all 44 rocks in 12 minutes, after which I started suffocating.
Me: I just breathe naturally.
Guy: lol enjoy using 2% of your brain Luddite

Started dating this exciting cute boy-racer in Tokyo, but lately he won't enter any of the same mountain pass races I'm entering and I don't know, it just feels like we're drifting apart

Nie wiem czy "pójdę na spacer do biedry bo nie chce mi się ćwiczyć" jest dobrą opcją długoterminową, ale z drugiej strony tak czy siak się ruszam i zieję, a grafikiem cwiczeń sam zarządzam.

Buying Avowed did irreparable damage to my YT-videoscript-writing plans.
Thankfully it's a finite game, or I'd be lost entirely.

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.

Two types of video game secrets:
1. Climb the mountain, follow the trail of yellow flowers into a small cave to find a popculture reference and a neat sword.
2. Kill 36 rats while facing perfect west at noon, quantum tunnel through the Earth and spin 421 degrees clockwise to get an achievement.

A sentiment I often see on various TTRPG spaces is "I don't need mechanics for RP" and I think it's blending two things in a way that obscures the actual meaning.
A: "RP" as playing your character
B: "RP" as social encounters
In both cases, I think it's shortsighted.

I keep seeing content labelled as "for the fifth edition of the world's greatest roleplaying game" and then it's clearly written by somebody with a *very* poor grasp of the Ars Magica rules.
