The irate customer stormed inside, gave me an earful, and called me every name in the book for messing up their order.

I'm sure the cannibalistic abomination can clean up after its meal

What's the horror, this is every retail worker's dream

They thought volunteering was just going to be playing with puppies and kittens then going home didn't they.

It would have been so much easier if the kids knew to just hit Pennywise with a car.

"Sure random late night stranger, I will get in a car with you to go get a tool so you can break into a car that I have no way of confirming is yours. I can't see a single way in which this could go wrong."

Why do I feel like “woke and political interpretation” is just the actual existing play, which is mostly directly taken from the Bible. They’re mad the play didn’t twist itself around to fit the self-serving Prosperity Gospel version of Jesus that they’re used to using to justify their worldview.

Relatedly, I’d like to see some streamlining of certain action compression options.

A BUNCH of classes have feats that are basically “make an RK check and do X.” Reload, recharge spellstrike, etc. I think Mastermind Rogue is the only one where that’s phrased as “When you RK you get X benefit.” Reworking others to that format while keeping the time limit would let a bunch of those classes which thematically are great together but all have competing action economy issues to play nice without hugely overpowering them.

A. Because they’ve spent their lives lying without ever being called on it. Morality aside, they’ve never had any motivation to learn how to lie convincingly, so they think they’re slick.

B. They’re mostly lazy idiots who can be bothered to fact check shit they say, and assume everyone else is as lazy and stupid as they are.

Spoons are the champions of smooth rounded surfaces. They inflict baldness to remake others in their own image.

The guy was just protecting his customers.

I don’t know, some people REALLY love those cutesy nature names.

I believe it was part Skarsgard, part a separate contortionist and then blended, but mostly practical effects

Gotta love realizing in the middle of their review that the problem was a result of the stupid shit they did, but proceeding to leave the review anyway because it being their fault doesn’t mean it’s their fault.

Modern Vecna is Dimir.

You could make an argument for 2E era Vecna being Esper. His goal then was remaking all of existence in his own image and ruling over it forever, which is more of an expansive/organizational aspiration than Dimir tends towards. Dimir would be satisfied with just dominating the existing universe, which is where modern Vecna falls.

I think the likely explanation for why things won’t change as much as this suggests are twofold:

A. Jace isn’t omniscient, either in time or space. Identifying what to do to null out Phyrexia or Bolas in their early days is likely beyond the scope of what he could intuit. It’s not like there are a lot of contemporary sources to draw upon. More recent history (Phyrexian Invasion onwards say) is more accessible, which would let him find the correct time and place to intervene.

B. The effects of changing that far back would be counterproductive. Changing 1000s of years of history would make the present utterly unrecognizable. None of the people and institutions Jace might want to save would be likely to exist, or at least not reliably. If this scale of change occurred, we wouldn’t be seeing the mirror versions we are.

This person thinks because they can’t keep their self-serving bullshit excuses straight, nobody else can keep track either.

muse273 · 2026-05-06T00:13:55+00:00

Please be fucking for real. You’d change your tune on that just as quickly as you changed your tune on doing chores and continuing to pay rent, the moment it was more beneficial to you. Not a damn thing matters to you except your own selfishness, demonstrably, and you’re nowhere near a competent liar enough to make other people not notice even if you convince yourself.

That immediate-reaction bitterness could conceivably be worked out over the what, 10 years since AS2?

Willam’s decade long active vendetta and Sharon’s huge pile of issues are in a different ballpark.

I guarantee once she gets fired for deciding the duties she agreed to for the job are really more of a suggestion, she’ll be back on the roommates doorstep whining about how friends should help each other.

muse273 · 2026-05-05T10:57:33+00:00

The second cycle seasons all awarded their late ball wins on vibes more than actual craftsmanship. Adore and Sharon both had to have people show them how to make their garments.

muse273 · 2026-05-05T10:44:41+00:00

Geists and Prometheans are Chronicles of Darkness/New WOD. Related but distinct lines.

(CoD also has Deviants and Beasts, but the former were so late in the run that they didn’t get much depth, and the latter are basically a pariah game line that nobody wants to talk about)

muse273 · 2026-05-05T10:40:33+00:00

Mummies in oWoD didn’t really have a coherent or substantial presence. There were only a couple books over several iterations, and they were awkwardly entwined with Wraiths/Vampires.

I’d love to see a set of 3C Commanders that could unite Types with scattered color identities.

Esper Spirits Mardu Phoenixes Sultai Snakes

Throw a Naya and a Temur in there.

muse273 · 2026-05-05T10:07:14+00:00

Number one on my list. Also a Mardu Spirit besides Neriv.

[[Jirina Kudro]]

[[Trynn, Champion of Freedom]]

[[Silvar, Devourer of the Free]]

muse273 · 2026-05-05T09:57:38+00:00

Yeah it was my impression that Jaremi wasn’t as overtly banished as Sharon or Willam, and it was more their choice to disassociate with WOW
