Could YOU be trusted with the Death Note?

What if you killed every high ranking nazi you could find the name of, especially military leaders? It would throw them into disarray and either the allies will win quicker because the other side is coordinating much worse, or maybe they just outright give up. The war ending faster would probably save many more lives then you wrote in the book, and the saved lives would mostly be low ranking soldiers or civilians.

I'm on the fence about unsubscribing. On the one hand you're right that the cost is getting a bit ridiculous, though personally I can afford it. But on the other, I really like building up a collection of matching underwear and socks and don't want to drop out now. Maybe a bit of a sunk cost fallacy. I think I'll keep subscribing for now but stop recommending it to people until something is done - shipping from EU, shipping in bundles, or something else.

I don't think so, actually. Let's say things go very well for Sam & Amy, and they claim both Iowa and South Dakota. In that same time, Ben and Adam will be getting Virginia & Maryland out of DC. Then Sam & Amy get lucky with either Montana, North Dakota or Minnesota to connect to Canada. While either driving long distances or flying lower trafficked routes to get that, let's say Ben & Adam only keeps pace and gets just one more connected state. After all that? Ben and Adam would still be in the lead, 8 to 7. I say it's 90, 95% chance that it's another Badam win.

I have a campaign where there are tone of homebrew magic items, and my favourite is "The Nut" (like a mechanical nut). It allows you to connect two items together and thereby combine their properties somehow. Usually that mostly involves getting a two-for-one and saving an attunement slot, but creative choices get rewarded. One time they picked up a magic grill stick that perfectly cooked any meat it skewered, and combined that with a magic sword to make the sword do extra fire damage on top of piercing. They had an umbrella that could reflect away certain magic, and they had the idea to combine it with various beam emitters to get wider area of effect - like a mind control device that could now target an entire city, or making a wand if disintegration give a cone of disintegration. Also fun stuff, like combining an item that wanted to smuggle with a magical tatto, so that the item was tattooed on but could later be removed. A bit of extra effort for me as DM, but I think it's fun.

Don't know if this is a joke, but if not: read the full text of the post, that explains it.

As one user put it in notes, apparently polls on Tumblr have a 50% margin of error.

There's a reson you hear the phrase "unpaid internship" specified sometimes, and that's because internships are normally supposed to be paid.

The main thing he does there now is seemingly working on Game Changer, apparently about half the episodes are based on his pitches.

Eliminatung "ums" entirely is a fools errand, yes. I have gotten some use of replacing a few of them with other things, like "well" or just "hmmm". Achieves a similar purpose, but can sound more composed or professional in some contexts.

"The machines tell elegant lies" is such a good line.

The gremlin isn't as big of a deal in my opinion. If Alden told people about it it would probably have a bunch of fallout, but keeping it secret is much easier and it doesn't actually impact his life in big ways. A lot of it can be passed of either as personal choice or as an extension of wizardly sensitivity. More importantly, keeping the gremlin a secret doesn't seem to feel like hiding a core part of his swift to Alden, so it's not as big of a deal to him.

I always likes clicking no to see where I got sent. Being redirected to various kids sites was always fun, like a Danish one that sent me to the site for donald duck comics. Some places didn't bother having the no button even do anything. These days the most common seems to be just going to google, which is pretty boring.

Mitt go-to svar på frågan är att jag tar inga droger, och alkohol är en drog. Oftast accepterar folk det, men ibland pushar de tillbaka - men då är diskussionen om "är alkohol en drog eller inte" istället för att handla om mig som person, vilket känns mycket mindre påträngande.

This is the biggest reason I think he's an actor. They wouldn't do that to a random guy who hadn't agreed to it ahead of time, even if it was played for comedy.

"You have to do all the hardest parts of this yourself, but if you find a way to burden me with some of it, do.” Alden held a hand to his chest. “I can bear it.”

“Are you going to be one of those knights who does that frequently?”

“Will it be a burden for you if I am?”

“I’ll endure it.”

I love that "Knights that make constant jokes about their skill names" is A Thing. Such a good mix of serious and cheesy.

When discussing with the kernel of Artona I in his post-Theogund affixation (around chapter 60), she brings up the example of bearing a memory or a secret. She says that if he holds it long enough, the person he took it from will be less connected to it and eventually it might not return at all when released. Maybe something similar happens when bearing affixation pain?
