  • I did the same thing. And then I took it to the next level and taught my entire party elven expletives so that they could join me in insulting the leaf-suckers. Fuck you. You are not better than me just because your farts smell of wet moss.

    My character is also deep into the conspiracy theory that elves marry humans only because they are after their inheritance. Think about it, guys: an elf lives for hundreds of years. A human marriage will last about 50-75 years on average. Those bush-wearers could marry half a dozen humans in their lifetime and live the rest of their existence comfortably rich with the accumulated riches and possessions from all those marriages.

    Wake up, sheeple!






  • Hourglass of Lost Chances
    Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)

    This magical hourglass is crafted from a strange material, more resilient than steel, yet transparent as glass. Inside, it is empty.

    As an action, you can activate the hourglass by turning it upside down and whispering the command word, “Quicksave”. If you do, magical sand materializes inside the hourglass, pouring downside for the next 10 minutes. The flow doesn’t stop, even if you flip the hourglass again.

    While the hourglass is active, you can use one action in a subsequent turn to turn the hourglass upside down again and whisper its command word, “Quickload”. If you do, the timeline is reset to the moment the hourglass was first activated. Every action and even death is undone, but all creatures in all the multiverse retain their memories of what happened, although any creature that was more than 1 mile away from you at any point while the hourglass was active experiences this as a sense of déjà vu.

    After 10 minutes have passed, or if you use the hourglass to revert the timeline, it becomes inactive, and it can’t be activated again for the next 7 days.

    There’s a lot of great stuff here, but for some reason the thing that completely broke me is having “Desert Island”, a small isle with nothing but sand and a single palm tree, in the middle of lush, green islands.

    I’m sure that, if a river was drawn into this map, it would be a ten-headed abomination originating from nothing, going uphill through the mountains, and connecting one side of the ocean to the other.

    (Also “Nopon” being an almost 1:1 transposition of Japan, but “Retro Tokyo” is in the wrong place lmao)





  • People should just stop thinking about gaming journalism as a monolith, and start thinking of it as any other job. Some people are capable of doing it and they show it, others are completely incapable of writing a decent article without resorting to snarky comments or biased opinions.

    A local website in my language employs a YTuber as a reviewer for reviews on games that he is a sponsor of on his channel, and those articles are laughable to say the least (I’m not going to name the games nor the person). But I’ve also read good articles on the same website, written by people who actually care about their job and have the skills to do it well.

    But for some reason, gamers keep parroting this awful opinion of gaming journalists being incapable of playing games or having opinions on things. No, it’s just that certain journalists are better than others. (And for god’s sake, people should stop using the Cuphead video as a talking point. It was not a true review, it was a joke video, ffs)
