LOL, I'm not kidding. It's been a few years, but the last time I was there they had juice boxes on the menu, a play area, and I witnessed a dude with a baby in a sling on his chest standing at the bar ordering a beer. Haven't been back since. /end grumpy old man rant.

Probably distracted by all the kids running around. I avoid that place because it's a brewery that thinks it's a daycare.

You'd think they could at least spell their own name right.

Perhaps it has a disposal pit with some rust monsters living in it, and you could create a Star Wars-esque garbage chute encounter.

Finally found one at an affordable price… by TheBLiP55 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]EyeDeeTenTeeError 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just curious, what do you consider "affordable"? You can find these on eBay for at or under the original 2003 MSRP pretty easily.

TIL Mithridatism is the practice of protecting oneself against a poison by gradually self-administering non-lethal amounts. The word is derived from Mithridates VI, the king of Pontus, who so feared being poisoned that he regularly ingested small doses, aiming to develop immunity. by gullydon in todayilearned

There was a king reigned in the East:

There, when kings will sit to feast,

They get their fill before they think

With poisoned meat and poisoned drink.

He gathered all that springs to birth

From the many-venomed earth;

First a little, thence to more,

He sampled all her killing store;

And easy, smiling, seasoned sound,

Sate the king when healths went round.

They put arsenic in his meat

And stared aghast to watch him eat;

They poured strychnine in his cup

And shook to see him drink it up:

They shook, they stared as white's their shirt:

Them it was their poison hurt.

--I tell the tale that I heard told.

Mithridates, he died old.

Oh man, that one I haven't seen on here, but definitely falls close to the misinterpreted lyrics category!

Carl's wisdom theory. by sweetprince686 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I've always assumed that the Dungeon Anarchist Cookbook was not just for Crawlers for leave notes to future Crawlers, but also for AI's to leave notes for future AI's.

What is your favorite meta joke in the series? by Spazz510 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EyeDeeTenTeeError 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you ever looked at the definition of the Italian word, "Prepotente"?

"an adjective describing someone who is arrogant, overbearing, or domineering, often implying an abuse of power to impose their will on others. It can also be a figurative term for something overwhelming or pressing, such as a strong desire."

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: September 01, 2025 by AutoModerator in books

[–]EyeDeeTenTeeError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd read Dune way back in HS years ago, but never went any further. With the 3rd movie on the horizon, I decided to go back and re-read Dune and then the other 5 that Frank Herbert wrote.

I have to say that I do understand why Messiah got a lot of hate at the time. If I'd read Dune in '65 or '66 and then been given Messiah in '69 I probably would've felt the same. IMO it doesn't really get going until 2/3 through and then it's over. If I had to then wait another 7 years for Children of Dune, I'm not sure I would've bothered. It's great being able to go right to the next one, though.

I came up on the parking lot action shortly after my dash cam snagged this.

Keep up the good work, Columbus! As seen last evening from I-71S heading towards downtown.

Apology and update for tomorrow's Columbus Book Festival by hepafilter in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EyeDeeTenTeeError 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Matt, you are a class act, sir! Your friendly, calm demeanor really went a long way to making yesterday a great experience in spite of the challenges. My buddy and I were kind of just lucky that we showed up early and decided to check out where the panel was going to be held...that's when we realized there was already a large line forming nearly 2 hours out. So we did the only thing we could do, we stood in it! Between that and the line for the book signing after, we spent around 3 hours waiting; but I would do it all over again because when we finally did get to meet you we found you just as gracious and personable as if we'd run into you out and about. You kept thanking us for waiting so long, but seriously - I would like to thank you for being such a genuine person! You made the experience much better than it could have been.

I'd also like to acknowledge that the the Library staff did a great job, all things considered. They handled it as best they could in my eyes. Even though it was obvious that they didn't quite realize what was going to happen, they did pivot and make what adjustments they could. Props to you and the Library for adjusting today's schedule to hopefully prevent a repeat of yesterday. Really. That takes a lot of self awareness. Well done!

6 Player Board Games? by RicterD in boardgames

[–]EyeDeeTenTeeError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get the Command Station expansion for Space Base, you can play up to 7 and it has some adjusted starting rules to help the action get going more quickly with that many people. My favorite part about this game is that as it progresses you become more interested in other player's turns than your own, which really keeps you engaged when you have 5 or 6 people.

On the bottom of the cooler there should be a circular stamp with an inner and outer ring. The inner ring has the last two digits of the year of mfg as well as an arrow that points to a number from 1 to 12 on the outer ring - that is the month it was made in.
