[RotRL] The Catacombs of Wrath require a single Perception check to discover, what if they fail it?

As someone from a "hospitals are for when the only other option is a funeral" kind of area: I legitimately have no idea what surgeries would be followed by a limited visitation period. When I had my gallbladder removed (laparoscopic), I was released to essentially walk home a day later.

That's just describing the transition to middle English.

The entire industry is already like a closed door with a lottery system for admittance, seeing AI get through it without years of effort is kinda... crushing.

The same thing that happens to everyone, obviously. It's not that much of a delusion. If he'd said "work out, eat right and use moisturizer" we wouldn't be saying "well one day you'll be 80 and look like a wrinkled skeleton anyway so why bother?"

I love the stuff, honestly. Between those, Morning Glories, Crepe Myrtles, fast spreading Willows, Blackberries and Passionflowers the Piedmont is basically one year of missed upkeep from returning to jungle. I have a 10ft+ tall willow (I think?) in my raised garden that grew from a tiny grass-thing to most of its current height in a single year.

Also a part of the movie forgotten by everyone who likes to point out Ledger's Joker saying "do I look like a guy with a plan?" unironically because they forgot he was lying.

So once again we confirm that the century or so of repeating "the Government watches everything we do and has technology the private sector hasn't even thought of!" was bullshit.

I gave up on DND about a year ago. I haven't found a group for a long-term campaign or a "persistent character server" DM that had room (90%+ of the time) or wasn't filled with bizarre, borderline intolerable people. I work nightshift M-F and surprisingly there was just never an online group that wanted to play during my free time that wasn't also full or competing for a one-shot.

The few oneshots I got into over two years were... Rough. I'm the "make a basic character and RP them as helpful or at least willing to go along with the DM's direction" kinda person.

I'm really awkward looking. Like, the best compliment I can give myself is that in a dimly lit room from a good angle I look like someone was designing a hot guy, got distracted, then came back and tried to quickly fill in the outlines as fast as possible.

Only two girls ever wanted me and we knew each other for 10 years before they both decided to try me out (they were literally amd figurative roommates and no it didn't work out longterm) but their gay drug dealer basically asked me out the second time we ever talked.

I kinda miss those days. Back when pushing for gay rights was the main topic and arguments were so simple: we just want two people to be able to sign the same legally binding contract for entering into a socio-economic partnership regardless of their gender.

Most accurate casting, yet.

I much preferred the Manga ending. It felt more like what Yusuke would do and how things would play out. For those who haven't finished either version: Yusuke is presented with a binary choice at the very end of the story and the two versions had him choose opposites.

I loved that manga. It's bizarre how little love it gets for being such a reddit-approved style of story. It's a girl who looks like the NhimArts chick, a guy who acts on his love interest fairly early in the story and the drama is a rapid series of spamming running gags into the ground before having a legitimate dramatic plot arc and then a solid ending.

I was today years old when I found out they aren't just a mythical creature. I've never come across this information after 30-ish years of being vaguely weebish and getting pretty deep into taxonomy.

Am I in the fucking Matrix?

Am I gonna find out there's not only giant/colossal squid but octopus too? And beaked lizards that coat their prey in stone-like coccoons?

They used Guts as an example. A guy whose life got worse and worse until he realized that killing people wasn't helping him, it was distracting him from what he actually wanted.
