I was an unusual child

I got halfway through this before I realised it wasn't a deeply profound poem

Who even knew there was such a thing as a 'Guildford Special' kebab... 😬

On a business trip once, I called ahead to book a table at a Turkish restaurant with a fancy website. It turned out to be a kebab shop with a few stools at the counter. To be fair to them, they did save them for us

When you're deep in a project, it's easy to see the setback and the issues and miss overall progress. It's always good to get some outside perspective. Onwards and upwards!

I 100% agree that 'AI' as we know it will never write a novel. For me, the more question is whether the general audience will continue to seek out novels (and visual art, and symphonies, and...) or will be distracted by what 'AI' does churn out; that's a more terrifying form of replacement

Mine have split up for a better chance of survival

What worries me is that this may still be 'early' - just wait until we find out what they have planned for 'late'...

For science!!!

Ring doorbell
'Follow me' drone
'See-through' fridge
Manufacturing line inspection camera

I know crown shyness is a thing. But every time I see it, it looks too weird to be true

This! There's nothing as frustrating as building a character with specific cool abilities and then having the GM design all the encounters to sidestep those abilities

The feudal system and its... well, feuds... ARE the story. Or so it appears at the moment. Time will tell whether machinations of the Eastern barons are driven purely by greed, or whether there's something more sinister going on

Then nearly fourteen billion years ago, expansion started? Wait...

Cursed? I don't know.

Lacerated, mauled, shredded, bloodied, eaten, regurgitated, knocked unconscious, revived, eaten again, and finally victorious only through the use of some very powerful and rare items they had only just retrieved? Absolutely.

It was a very memorable session!
