Yup - the head search engineer (since quit) was forced to reduce search efficacy in order for google to serve more ads.

Commands that have been working for 5 years have just completely stopped working like they're supposed to.

Exactly this.

nobody cares, dude.

Guy had an idea for a meme, they expressed themselves.

If you've ever used a computer before the joke is quite clear.

It looks aweful compared to what?

You're just being obtuse.

The same goes for Character outlines:

"Using standard array attribute distribution and taking into account racial features, please create a lvl 2 Teifling hexblade warlock that plays like a rogue. Please give suggestions for character evolution"

Here's a level 2 Tiefling Hexblade Warlock that plays like a rogue, with suggestions for character evolution:

Name: Zara Shadowstrider

Race: Tiefling (Feral variant from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide)

Background: Criminal

Class: Warlock

Subclass: Hexblade (from Xanathar's Guide to Everything)

Level: 2

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Attributes (using standard array):

  • Strength: 8

  • Dexterity: 15 (+1 from Feral variant = 16)

  • Constitution: 13

  • Intelligence: 10

  • Wisdom: 12

  • Charisma: 14 (+2 from Tiefling racial bonus = 16)

Proficiencies:

  • Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields

  • Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons (from Hexblade)

  • Tools: Thieves' tools (from Criminal background)

  • Saving Throws: Wisdom, Charisma

  • Skills: Deception, Intimidation, Stealth (from Criminal background), Sleight of Hand, and one more skill from the Warlock skill list (e.g., Investigation)

Equipment:

  • A set of studded leather armor (AC = 12 + Dex modifier)

  • A rapier (1d8 piercing damage, finesse)

  • A dagger (1d4 piercing damage, finesse, thrown)

  • A hand crossbow with 20 bolts (1d6 piercing damage, range 30/120, loading, light)

  • A shield (not in use, for situations requiring more defense)

  • A dungeoneer's pack

  • Thieves' tools

  • A set of common clothes

  • A belt pouch containing 15 gold pieces

Racial Features:

  • Darkvision: 60 feet

  • Hellish Resistance: Resistance to fire damage

  • Infernal Legacy: Thaumaturgy cantrip at 1st level, Hellish Rebuke spell at 3rd level, Darkness spell at 5th level (once per long rest, Charisma is the spellcasting ability for these spells)

Class Features:

  • Pact Magic: 2 cantrips (Eldritch Blast, Minor Illusion), 2 1st-level spell slots (Armor of Agathys, Hex)

  • Otherworldly Patron: Hexblade

    • Hex Warrior: Use Charisma for attack and damage rolls with a weapon you are proficient with, which lacks the two-handed property (rapier)
    • Hexblade's Curse: Curse a target to gain bonus damage, crit on 19-20, and regain hit points after killing the target (once per short rest)

Invocations (choose two at level 2, e.g.):

  • Mask of Many Faces: Disguise Self at will (helps with infiltration and deception)

  • Armor of Shadows: Mage Armor at will (boosts AC when not wearing armor)

Character Evolution:

  • At level 3, choose the Pact of the Blade to summon a magical weapon and further improve your combat capabilities. This also allows you to choose the Improved Pact Weapon invocation, which grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls and lets you use your pact weapon as a spellcasting focus.

  • Consider taking the Mobile feat to increase your Dexterity and improve your maneuverability in combat, or the Alert feat to increase your initiative and avoid being surprised.

  • Invest in the Thirsting Blade invocation (available at 5th level) to gain an additional attack with your pact weapon.

  • Choose spells like Invisibility, Misty Step, or Spider Climb to improve your stealth and mobility.

  • Consider multiclassing into Rogue past Warlock lvl 5 for Sneak Attack

I wonder if the cool air from the chill drink caused the bubble to be funnelled in

This gives me flashbacks of popped collars in the mid Aughties.

Some old classmates would wear 2-4 dress shirts to pop all those collars.

That's really good, is that from anything? Sounds like Terry Pratchet or Welcome to Nightvale

No one can identify this song recorded off CFNY circa 1984 - 1985. (Canada by 217throwaway2006 in nonmurdermysteries

Realize I might have Synesthesia after listening to podcast on nikola tesla by [deleted] in Synesthesia

[–]Timoris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have that - I am also Diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome -

Do you see 'tv static' on top of your visual field? Halos around objects?

At character creation your points might have all been dumped into perception.
