Chemist, saxophonist, pianist, occasional dungeon master, martial artist, massive nerd.
Also, autistic. That one's new.
Currently manifesting as some kind of swamp creature.
Never ceases to amaze me how we can critfail basic life stuff, like I'm pretty sure I'm rolling with advantage with a DC of 2 but sometimes you just Sleep Wrong and now your calves hurt for two days
it's cool how I've been drinking from cups for probably 43 years and sometimes I will still just utterly fuck up the process and dump coffee on myself

I was going to say "society is boned" but I'm pretty sure the physical act of boning is probably going to decrease in frequency with this
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

A consequence of being the kind of geek who likes to do voices for his D&D characters: new hobgoblin warlock sounds like Foghorn Leghorn on mild sedation

As I drag myself out of bed once more, I feel like it should be illegal for a person to work for longer in a day than they slept the night before

Two words: Garrus Vakarian

I have three types of TTRPG characters:
- Creepy healer type with absolutely zero ulterior motives
- Rock-brained muscle man who gets adopted by another party member
- Husky-voiced charisma caster who quickly ends up in the role of Mum Friend to the rest of the team
I have three types of TTRPG characters:
- Edwardian Gentlemen horribly out of place in the setting
- Your kindly grandparent with a mace who also bakes
- Good aligned Necromancer Private Detective
I have three types of TTRPG characters:

-the mom friend in heavy armour
-the tiefling with daddy issues
-my Patron could beat up your Patron

Red flags in a woman:
- no
- no what are you doing
- flags don't go there
- get this woman to a hospital

For those more literary than I, is it considered poor form to compose a sonnet in anger? Because I may have committed Poetry Crime if so

If I could be serious for a moment:
bums
This is a VERY Bluesky thing and I need people to try and do this for a week and see if it becomes habit. If you see a post that might be a big joke/shitpost/combination of both, find it in your heart to not reply with something serious. Just try it for ONE WEEK. It could revolutionise this website.

My smartwatch has congratulated me on my workout twice today. I've just been, like, doing my job?
Mayhap I'm having a stressful one

So I'm watching the rugby in this pub (England playing Ireland) and speaking as someone Irish enough to apply for citizenship, how is it that every Irish person you see both on the field and IRL is somehow the most Irish-looking eejit you've ever seen?
Self included, of course.

I haven't yet seen a "defensible use case" that didn't boil down to "it's fine when I do it because mummy says I'm special"
there is no "defensible use case" for chatgpt. do your own work and use your own brain or fuck off

If anything, I think Musk's harrowingly shit sense of humour is under-discussed. The Florence Foster Jenkins of it all. The deeply unfunny freak who bought the joke factory and juiced its algorithm so he could subject all its users to... this. The gas leak comedy of a psychedelically humourless man.

I'm not looking for any videos of Musk doing a fascism, mostly because I've never actually heard the shitbag's voice and I'm trying to keep that going as long as possible

Someone needs to close that loophole where you can't be charged for the shit you get up to on a given planet if said planet no longer exists, Samus Aran has been getting away with this for years
i don't follow the news closely these days, but if Luigi is being charged with terrorism then Tom Nook should be charged with racketeering & money laundering

Today, in Things I Learned About MTG Against My Will, apparently "sorcery" is a game mechanic of some kind so you can't just exclaim "what is this sorcery?!" upon seeing something bizarre and inexplicable when you're playing, can't believe they're curtailing parlance like this
