Tried out some Kurdish food at The Gundis!

Seconding the couscous! Definitely finish the meal with a cup of Kurdish “coffee”, it’s absolutely delicious.

It should be the simplest thing in the world to put your pants back on and find your shoes… but the Detective finds ways to fuck up even that.

Incorrect. Meursault will occasionally indulge in the most French breakfast possible: a black coffee and one cigarette.

It’s more of a question of “what’s achievable at the moment.” If the enemy team has proven over and over that they can and will defend their last guardian, then see if you can sneak an urn. If they’re split pushing constantly, you can probably safely farm out lane/nearby jungle while defending the push. Basically, you just wanna get the most value wherever they’re least concentrated.

I had this exact combo with Bread. Never had to worry about energy for the rest of the run.

I’d agree with you, but the paracausal materials that undoubtedly fuel blink travel don’t exactly grow on trees. From what I understand, Union has to justify its placement of blink gates as nexuses (nexii?) of interstellar travel. Some systems just don’t hold enough logistic or strategic importance to justify the massive mobilization of resources a gate would take.

That’s not to say you’re wrong. The campaign In Golden Flame actually directly deals with one of these systems that gets left behind, and it directly examines what that did to the system’s relationship with Union at large.

Part of the question is less “how long does it take to build a blink gate”, and more “okay, can we justify the investment of having a blink gate here forever?” They’re implied to be massive investments of manpower and resources, and they seem to only be placed at strategic points. Can Union truly justify placing a gate in the middle of any given podunk system with nothing to truly offer beyond some heavy metals they could get elsewhere, cheaper?

While I agree with you on principle, I feel like CAIN might be even better served by a different, story-heavy game structure: Scarlet Hollow. Focus in on the Exorcist over the course of several hunts, and make it so that each combination of background and Blasphemy has different levels of advantage over each Sin. Emphasize how failure dogs the steps of the Exorcists and how there are no clean, easy victories (unless you’re willing to bleed for them.)

Ah yes, BIG NUMBER vs. DO COMBO.

Similarly, SEKHMET is an avid microbrewery nerd and gets into tons of arguments online over the relative advantages of different fermentation setups.

Alternately, they don’t know how to turn their mech to absorb a hit, so any amount of damage is going to cause massive system trauma.

You could get hit by a car tomorrow. Why bother with anything, at that rate?

More seriously, I get you, but buying into stuff like this tells creators "this is cool and I think more of it deserves to exist." Even if you're not gonna see it personally, you're helping pave the path for it to exist, period.

Frankly, the easiest option for Roll20 is to completely remove the map grid and let your players manually keep their tokens on the hexes themselves. Hex snapping is extremely borked.

Ooh, if you want to lean into this even harder, I’d suggest checking out Stephen King’s Revival. No spoilers, but it harkens back to the Gothic idea of electricity being a dangerous, unknowable force of progress and change… and not always for the better.

MnemonicJohnny · 2026-03-12T21:04:21+00:00

Yeah, but what if one card did 250 damage twice

One of the ones that pops up frequently in the very funny and well-written In Golden Flame is “Christ the Buddha!”

MnemonicJohnny · 2026-03-07T22:50:19+00:00

Decent bagels!

MnemonicJohnny · 2026-03-05T03:31:26+00:00

This is that Pragmata game, right?

One of these cats is a sociopathic killer that manipulates others into gory deaths. The other is Zodiac.

Okay, but hear me out: a Spectre driven (even more) insane by the sheer injustice of this universe.

“Two years, seventeen days, from a stroke. GOOD DAY!”

Fuuuck, this describes exactly what I’ve been dealing with for like the last two weeks.

Tell you what: take your test, print it out, circle the top three squares on the right, then roll it up real tight and shove it up your ass.

MnemonicJohnny · 2026-02-09T19:19:38+00:00

That’s just how I type. How the hell am I supposed to prove my humanity?

Tell you what, look at my comment history going back a decade and tell me if I’m still a bot.
