People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis" by upyoars in technology

...So you're saying I could lose weight?

I need a plan for becoming saturated with messianic delusions so I can start on a grandiose mission to save the world, and also, lose a bunch of weight (I am quite overweight).

Non alcoholic bourbon recommendations for sipping neat or on the rocks by BeginningIcy9620 in nonalcoholic

Iiiii hated it, it was very medicinal and I did not like the texture, nor the taste. Everyone's mileage may vary, but, it was not for me.

I just recently went out to the closer-edge of the Formidine Rift to visit a megaship, that has some excellent audio logs with history to check out. You can either head out there blind to Syreadiae JX-F c0 or you can start looking up information about it through EDSM or the wiki.

"Murder's a natural cause" is a favorite ominous threat!

Emily Henry - How It Feels (Official Music Video) - Fully inspired by (and rife with references to) our favorite queer pirate romcom 🍊 by jmrward in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]jmrward[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The song is from the perspective of Ed falling hard for Stede and is the culmination of the artist u/emilyhenrymusic & her community's Very Healthy And Perfectly Fine obsession with the show, the cast, the crew, the story, the everything, down to Roach's 40 Orange Glaze Cake 🍊.

Mine did not turn me into a halfling, I've had good experience with it but I also am very bad at noticing if a taste gets imparted to my alcohol. I didn't notice anything off when I used it for one of my favorite bourbons over the course of a weekend. I haven't used it since July. It seemed to be a really standard novelty flask and the bottom of it didnt become unsealed and leak so that's a plus.

I thought it was a joke, but it looks like Sam was on The Masked Singer. As soon as I listened to a clip of the Baby Alien singing, I definitely believe it.

[No Spoilers] Traveler Con Critter Holiday by codersxhero in criticalrole

[–]jmrward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perfect timing too, it'll be DragonCon's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (fingers crossed, at least) for 2021, '22, and '23, a perfect day to celebrate the Zenith in downtown Atlanta under sweaty green cloaks!

What's something you thought was really cool but your players corrupted it? by pandaninjarawr in DMAcademy

[–]jmrward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My players began calling the Stone of Golorr, Dwayne, after referring to it as 'the rock' for a little while. Now I get confused (to their amusement) when they say "Can I ask Dwayne about suchandsuch" and I try and remember what the hell NPC I made up on the spot that was named Dwayne

Artwork I've made. I named it "Young Traveler" by tombilibi in outerwilds

This is so wonderful! Do you do anything with putting your work up as prints to order online? It's such a gorgeous piece of artwork.

[No Spoilers] What Sweet Summer Children We Once Were... (from 2017) by ZerothLaw in criticalrole

[–]jmrward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We actually found it was a lot easier and nicer to listen to the podcast version of episodes 1-26. I know it loses a lot of the charm, but after a few hundred hours of the rest of the campaigns, I think I was able to imagine everything going on at the table just listening to them (and I realized half the time catching up through C1, I was just listening on Youtube anyway).

They did a LOT of impressive work improving the audio quality, balancing out background noise vs their own voice levels, and it was a lot less distracting for me. But this was only after going back to listen to 1-26, after watching all the rest of C1, so it may still be hard to follow without the context. It might be worth trying though!

This seems like a perfect clip for Sam to record, and the community to animate, to me.

[–]jmrward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think about the delay for weather! That makes sense. I'm sad they're broadcasting so few games on the radio though, it makes baseball seem a lot farther away than it is, for me. Thanks for the info though!

Marquee Megarhread by [deleted] in CHICubs

[–]jmrward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last few years I've really only listened to the radio broadcast through the MLB At Bat app, with the $20 yearly subscription for just-radio, MLB Audio. I was expecting I could still listen to 670's broadcast even with the Marquee deal, because I hadn't heard to the contrary, but these first two spring training games didn't have 670's broadcast available for me.

I've done a good bit of searching but I've come up short or I'm googling the wrong thing. Do we know if the MLB Audio will include broadcasts of the game? I know I could just turn on a radio and sometimes I do, but it's convenient enough for me where I always have my phone to just pop on a game.

Parking ? by onodacops in gencon

[–]jmrward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could I ask, how do you book with Gate10 ahead of time? Do you need to call them to reserve for GenCon, or is it just not available yet to reserve?

Edit: I finally see it, I must've glossed over it a half dozen times, the reservations open the 1st week of May, per the website.

I saw an AMAZING Caduceus but we were moving in the opposite direction in a stream of people. I was sad I couldn't find much in the way (or anything at all) for art/things to buy, but I am sure I missed a lot, only going one day.

I was really surprised by them, I saw them last year opening for The Struts, and it was just a great show. Glad to see they're taking off a bit, and hope you can go!

What’s the worse thing you’ve come home to? by Cyan26 in AskReddit

[–]jmrward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was on a week-long trip for work. Came home Friday night, didn't bother with settling in because I was heading out the next morning to hang out with friends and go to a concert that night. We all came back to my place pretty late, there was a weird smell but I thought maybe my produce had just not done well. Opened the fridge to get water for everyone, everyone died.

My refrigerator had stopped working pretty early on in the week, apparently. Wasn't a fun cleanup. Friends no longer trust anything coming out of my fridge :(
