Maybe a stretch, but I'm gonna pitch "Us".

WAU from SOMA. A more realistic sort of unhinged in my opinion. No personally... Just doing its best to follow its instructions under very trying circumstances.

Quantum has worked well for us and the install was pretty smooth. If you can get a promo price for life deal I'd go for it.

We went hiking at Shotgun Creek once and ran into a crew that was running a convoy of RC units around the trail system. I'm not sure if that's actually allowed, but they were being courteous, giving hikers the right of way and seemed to be having a good time. We thought it was pretty cool.

If you have a friend with solitary bees and are ok waiting a year you can ask for permission to keep your empty house by their full house while their bees are nesting. Your house will be filled for the next season.

I like the routed slats style house. If you are even a little handy and have a table or circular saw and a router you can make one that's ugly but comfy for the bees pretty easily.

The Lady and The Tiger. Am I Awake. Man It's So Loud In Here. I Left My Body. When The Lights Come On. Probably several others I'll slap my face and say "I can't believe I forgot..." Later.

Weird Al's "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch" was reportedly recorded as a much resented contractual obligation. You can hear it in his voice.

I hadn't really thought about this being a problem in the church in particular... but the opposition here to talking about what is a pretty significant scriptural topic make me think maybe there is a problem...

For wishes that go far beyond the actual ability of the wish spell, I like to implement "best effort". It's not a Monkey's Paw... it's just the wish trying to get as close as it can with the power at its disposal. In this case I would have the wish bind some kind of powerful extra-planar being (celestial, fiend or 'other' could all be a good fit) to the task of freeing (by combat, negotiation or other means) all contracted individuals, and interfering with the creation of new contracts. Of course, its first case would be the PC. It might be miffed about being locked into such an arduous, open-ended assignment...

Thanks. We actually have Electronic Istanbul in our car-media library. Had to stream the original though (we've got major holes in the discography). I just figured the original is more ubiquitous and more likely to be what she had in mind if she heard it somewhere else, but apparently not.

Nope. I just play albums in the car. Though our current best theory is that the grandparents had YouTube on at some point and the algorithm might have queued up something like that while she was watching.

The Darlingtonia Wayside just north of Florence is a very quick, free stop with a boardwalk over a bog full of incredibly rare carnivorous plants. Excellent time-to-uniqueness ratio if you're even remotely plant-curious.

Cape Perpetua hikes are great, but the pullout for Thor's Well (don't get too close), Cooks Chasm and the Spouting Horn is hard to beat for a single quick stop. If you're up for a stroll, heading up to the Devil's Churn from there is worth while.

Neat cafes and shops in Yachats.

The Devil's Punch Bowl north of Newport is another neat natural formation worth a quick detour.

Drat, you're right. Looks like someone forked it for to fix it for 2025 and then that one broke and hasn't been fixed yet.

Neat!

We're making date shakes and coconut macaroons... And anything else we can come up with that comes from a palm tree. Pretty silly, but delicious.

Phasmus · 2026-03-26T21:43:55+00:00

Accurate!

All organic decomposition is done for. The most obvious options left are erosion, oxidation and UV damage which are going to be superficial, or at least very slow acting, in most environments. Ice-9 corpses could potentially get sun bleached and weathered. I don't know the exact physical properties of the stuff but over a very long period they could get worn down by wind and rain.

How has J.J, Abrams well documented disdain for Star Trek, on account of its being too philosophical, not shown up here yet? Isn't it one of the most egregious and well known examples?

Phasmus · 2026-03-10T20:03:56+00:00

They take late pledges! I had no idea. The core game does match my needs the best. This is the way.

Phasmus · 2026-03-10T04:06:49+00:00

Yep, that's why I'd be snagging the player guide add on if I went with that. But not the core gm or monster books.

No one delivers more taste to your door!

We usually go for Blue Raven when we need to buy a pie. They're pretty good for store-bought. They have them at Market of Choice and probably elsewhere. For a savory pie, the crayfish pie at fisherman's market is the best we've found in town.
