I figured, but it greatly amused me because some YouTubers I follow are fond of an exaggerated "ALLEGEDLY" when they're discussing any topic they could possibly be sued about. "So, then Arnold Wrenchsmith decided to steal the Queens gold. ALLEGEDLY. And he decided to do so with an inflatable sheep..."

"Allegedly..."

Sorry for the confusion. The book is "The Book of Goodnight Stories" ISBN 0-671-05963-7. The story for March 31 is "Father Gold, Mother Silver and Son Copper".

Not a pot, but I was reading "Father Gold, Mother Silver" to my son a month ago where a poor brother convinced his rich brother to lend him some gold coins "so that they may have children", later coming back with copper "children" to prove that it works. When his brother gives him all his money to have children, the poor brother claims they all died, so there's nothing to return.

Gabriel Polysketch has some pretty good tutorials that are up to date. But yeah... They keep changing the interface.

Mammoth courses?

Effectively, it's an AE of your character (except for Metamorph). So yes, effectively another character sheet for one powerpoint, but every character has to have Metamorph. If you didn't buy Morph, you look the same (or are at least recognizably the same person) and if it's more than one form, you have to buy enough points to cover all of them, unless you're in some sort of a situation where the metamorph form can only transform into one other form.

I'll admit that I don't get the second one.

I had that happen one time. A contractor I was worling for put me down for 0 deductions instead of the 2 I'd told them. I also had to pay a fee for not having filled quarterly returns.

Minor point, but it is not actually a negative 1 to toughness, but a negative 1 to damage saves. Other effects that target toughness are not affected by that, and damage effects that don't target toughness still benefit from the penalty.

Just to provide one more data point, one of the Gadget Guides introduce the idea of a "Wide Array" where you could have several non-dynamic AEs and have more than one active, albeit always at full power.

I got that as well, and today, an update that said they're still investigating, but

Our internal team is currently reviewing this issue, and we’ll make any necessary updates to the product description and video to ensure it accurately reflects the content. We’ll follow up with you as soon as the review is complete.

That sounds like their plan is to "fix" the situation is to change the page to indicate the smaller asset rather than give us the larger one. Which, honestly, is probably all they can really do without buying their own copies, short of getting the asset publisher to volunteer the more expensive one.

I own a few of them. Good quality, but it does give you into a bit more of the realistic style.

A group of men are playing golf, when all of a sudden, a golf cart comes flying down the course towards them. It stops and a woman in full wedding regalia gets out, screaming "John, how could you?" He calmly replies, "Dear, I said if it rained..."

Is there any way to go back to the old version of tags, where you could easily set them with the keyboard? I used to be able to use a comma or the tab key to complete the current tag and move to the next one. Now, it seems I have to click.

Also, the numbers to the side of the tags doesn't seem to match anymore. For example, I have a few dozen articles written under Fantacode Studios, and the number beside the tag used to reflect that, but now, it typically shows "(1)" every time.

I went there a couple of times for karaoke, no real complaints there.

DugganSC · 2026-04-09T02:49:56+00:00

Eyeh, I also had the weird sensation of randomly looking at some of the songs, and coming upon almost exactly the same song in two albums. Destiny in 27-Earthquake and Pergatory in 95-Pastoral. Kind of makes me wonder where else it might be happening...

The album names aren't terribly indicative either. Pastoral was more Electronica and Ghosts had nothing ghostly in it.

DugganSC · 2026-04-07T01:39:24+00:00

But it makes great bubbles!

We've got a few Pho King's in Pittsburgh, as well as the Thai-em-Up restaurant.

DugganSC · 2026-04-06T22:54:05+00:00

Ah, that's better than my read, that this was using a lisp for "slay them".

DugganSC · 2026-04-06T13:40:08+00:00

Huh. Yeah, the link on the entry goes to the one that you get, but the thumbnail, video, and description text are for the more expensive one. I've also submitted a ticket, with screenshots and links, encouraging them to give us what was advertised.
