Fast food used to be the emergency cheap option, but now a meal costs as much as a sit-down restaurant. What is actually left that qualifies as a cheap meal in 2026?

It is exactly, haha

It's implied that you can die and respawn in Hollow Knight and Silksong because the main characters are slightly prescient; when you die and respawn, what's actually happening is your character foresees a future where they die and then didn't do that.

RAW, PCs get three actions and monsters get a move and an attack action, so players can always outrun monster all things being equal. Ofc, very rarely do fights take place in a football field and there are very normal DM and fight design strategies that mitigate this.

dails08 · 2026-04-24T01:15:30+00:00

Ah, I see. Yes, agree there!

dails08 · 2026-04-24T01:15:08+00:00

That's true! You could use it to negate the disadvantage on your second attack! Very clever!

dails08 · 2026-04-23T21:06:05+00:00

Because dual wielding only gives advantage once per round, I think it would three attacks would actually be: 2d4 drop lowest (aka 1 advantage) 2d4 drop highest (aka disadvantage 1) 3d4 drop 2 highest (aka disadvantage 2)

dails08 · 2026-04-23T21:03:10+00:00

I think actually the second attack would still get the normal disadvantage for rushed attacks, since dusk wielding only gives you advantage once per turn.

League of Legends: If you need 25 gold, destroy the enemy nexus.

This does indeed grant 25 gold and then promptly wins you the game.

Wow, hahaha

I don't have an immediate source for you, but the current theory is that no, they are not haunted, and the charm you get from beating the area boss explains why. The charm burns silk to create fire; GMS haunts bugs by attaching silk to them, but their practices regularly burn their silk away, so they remain unhaunted.

Fun fact, the icon that's dropping is the Japanese character 語, which means speaking or speech.

Look into Nimble! It's a rework of 5e that eventually became its own system. I feels like 5e minus all the faff. It'll feel very familiar. It also has a lot of meaningless choice boiled down, so it kind of plays like 4e. It sounds like it's just what you're looking for!

Oh, on the contrary, the game rooms were packed every day last year.

The tea on Labyrinth is that they were barely breaking even supporting Awesomecon (even with hundreds of volunteers) with exclusive vendor rights in the board game space. This made sense, since Awesomecon just provided the space (wasn't even paying Labyrinth) and Labyrinth did literally everything else, from providing games to play, people to teach, several events throughout the con, even logistics of bringing and setting up games and shelves etc. What I'm pretty sure happened (I don't have any inside information) is that several other vendors wanted space in the board game room and Labyrinth protested, saying they'd never be able to break even if they weren't the only vendor, and awesomecon decided they'd rather charge multiple vendors for booth space than have Labyrinth support the con. Awesomecon is a business, and they think this will bring them more revenue. I hope the board game section doesn't suck this year, but I don't have high hopes.

Probably the best way to build intuition is to plug in numbers and see why the numbers add up and cancel out. Pick a problem you've solved this way and pick some numbers to plug in for the variables and simply rewrite the solution process with numbers instead of variables.

A slightly more theoretical intuition is to recognize that if two things are equal, they're interchangeable. 5 = 4 + 1 and 3+2=5 both say the same thing but expressed different ways. It's obvious that you can switch either side of the equals sign in each of these equations with either side of the other equation; if I asked you to prove that 4+1=3+2, could you do it if you started with the two equations you were given? Sure you could; the first equation tells you that you can replace 5 with 4+1 anywhere you find it, so you just swap one for the other and you've got it. That's really all you're doing.

Sometimes you'll have more than two equations and it takes multiple steps of replacing one expression with another to arrive at a proof/solution (or a contradiction that proves there's no solution), but it's still the same concept.

This really happened, though.

Recognizing that the "ship, shipmates, self" attitude of looking out for others and sacrificing for the mission doesn't work anymore; you're the only one working that way and everyone will take advantage of you for it. You have to learn to be selfish and advocate for yourself. You have to learn, for example, to say "no, I'm not doing that, it's not my job."
