New pointless DnD item. Hat of Taykodov. When you don this hat you have an overwhelming and overpowering desire to remove it. Until the hat is removed you cannot concentrate on spells and have disadvantage on any Wisdom or Intelligence saving throws or ability checks. You just want to take it off.

A future kid sitting in class on the @jcsalterego.bsky.social module of this semester of Internet History. "Here on page 559 you can see the gradual transition between the 'x could fix me' era into what scholars now call the 'unverifiable' era. Much is still unknown about this transition."

I look at a glitched out NPC's AI like, "haha they don't know what they're doing all of a sudden, how unrealistic." Meanwhile my reading comprehension inexplicably tanks for 10 seconds when reading "mademoiselle." Where's the NPC with bad logic driving them? Hi, it's me.

All I'm saying is if we want Linux adoption to get better it'll happen with better windows emulation. I shouldn't have to run a windows VM in Mint Cinnamon to get Cricut Design Studio to work correctly. This is why laypeople don't switch.

I'm worried about scalpers buying all the steam machines when that is finally released. How about you have to buy it with a steam account and only one account at a time and the account has to be at least a year old to get first dibs? Just use existing infrastructure as an anti-scalping tool.

My spouse has been knitting cute stuffed chickens. I said she should try making some DnD inspired items, like maybe a Mimic. She said, "how do you know I haven't already?" I laughed. She laughed. The chicken laughed. We killed the chicken.

Me and my cronies are gonna tear this place up! and my cronies I mean my one functioning nostril. and by this place I mean these girl scout cookies. and by tear I mean eat. I'm sick and will be eating cookies.

Professional Chef Zombies ate my neighbors but oh wow did they do some excellent plate decoration.

I finished reading The Poppy War. As a whole I didn't care for it. The first third had some really really excellent potential, but it just got worse from there. By the end I was just reading to see what would happen and even the ending didn't satisfy. 🫤

I just finished reading Circe by Madeline Miller. What a great book. Definitely recommend.

Me seeing a new niche thing that people on the internet have unnecessarily strong opinions about

Chetney from Critical Role campaign 3 was "CPOP industries". If it diversified into medical could there be a CPOP CPAP machine? 🤔

If you are using the "NVidia App", I suggest promptly going in to the settings, looking under "Notifications" and turning off "Available Rewards". If you do not do this, it apparently now uses the Windows notification system to show you fucking ads (for random video games)

@profanity.accountant - oh what do we have here?

I'm not tripping over my words, I'm animation cancelling my vocabulary as RNG manipulation for later.

Unnecessary Clickbait. The cardinal directions, like North and East. You won't believe what comes next! Your car's gear shifter, Park is at the top!!?? Number 2 will really take you back! The title of the successor to NBA 2K25 will blow your mind! How did they think of this!!!!??!?‽

Some of you have already heard, but last week I was let go from my job. Nothing's dire just yet, but I'm looking for work. I've got a customer service background in a number of specialized industries (Medical, finance, insurance) as well as some experience as a buyer. If you hear of any roles, LMK!

Downloading Unciv has turned out to be both a very good and very bad decision. Nothing this addicting should be on my phone.

I wonder if a conductor with tourette syndrome can take advantage of the ticks. Keep the band on their toes, never know when a random bar of 5/4 will be thrown in and they have to adapt.

Been doing research about exercising and the physiology and biology of things like strength training. My god is it hard to find reliable and accurate sources for some things. Some topics straight up break down into hoards of "well this is how I do it" without any explanation or underlying theory.

Tabata, Gibala, Zuniga, Vollaard. High-intensity Interval Training regimes out here sounding like Pokémon.

I want to learn Cello just so I can be that one low note eery background sound to somebody's real life.

From @hankgreen.bsky.social's video talking about the Louvre heist for a moment you have to put on your "bad guy hat" and I thought, what a fun idea for the Good Store. I can see it now. Good Store Bad Guy Hat

Watching @jeremydooley.bsky.social's latest VOD of jackbox and paradoxically the bit that made me laugh the most was when he read aloud the username "prodigalson" as "pro digalson" instead of "prodigal son" that is just SO goddamned funny

Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market. Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAX2...
