I feel like that might be difficult to do without just falling into Jupiter, but I am no rocket scientist.

The wizards hunted dragons to extinction because their wings made good spell components and they want to dodge responsibility for it.

Its ugly, but it’s true.

Oh, what is this, is this an animated video link? How did this get here?

Very well explained, thank you. I keep forgetting, and am occasionally reminded, that just below the basic math I’m familiar with is a whole other level of advanced math, and just below that is the screaming void.

Unironically I keep a devil on retainer for this. I’ve interacted with the Fae twice and it went poorly both times. I’m not speaking to them again without my lawyer present.

Fae don’t play by the same rules as mortals. Just because they possess your name doesn’t make it their name. It just makes it not yours. And Fae magic doesn’t necessarily rely on truenames, it relies more on expression and emotion. If you think that your name is your name, and now a Fae has taken it from you, it gives them power over you. And most especially Fae power is held in deals, contracts, favors, tit-for-tat. They asked you for your name and you gave it freely. That’s a contract. If you want it back, you’re going to need to draft a new contract.

Besides, most fae won’t exert such complete control. Some will, definitely. But most of them prefer to trap you inside dealings of your own design. You’ll make an initial deal, which you know is a bad idea but you don’t have much of a choice - it always starts like this, with an offer you can’t refuse, such as recovering your name after giving it. Then you make another deal to escape the consequences of the first one. Then another. Then another. Before you know it you’re bound by multiple conflicting deals and can’t possibly keep your word on all of them - and then that’s when they really get you. Broken promises hold terrifying power with the Fae.

Dropping the demand for rentals is supposed to address this. But there is going to be a great big gap between “no one is renting” and “we can’t afford to keep this house that no one is renting” where the prices will skyrocket to try and make up costs, which kind of shoots this plan in the foot unless all the newly emancipated renters plan to pitch a tent for a couple years while the market settles.

Absolute disrespect on the baby queens here, as long as you aren’t an idiot and carry them properly you’ll sweep the board in two turns when they mature.

Anyway why are cones in all three top tiers?

A meme (/miːm/; MEEM) is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. (Source: Wikipedia, though other dictionaries say similar.)

I think by a broad definition it still counts. But by a broad definition, Rock-Paper-Scissors is a meme.

I know this is pedantic, but defining what is and is not a meme is actually a pretty interesting problem. It’s a basic unit of data that’s shared and replicated among thinking minds. It’s our currency of culture.

Am I the only person that thinks this really isn’t bad at all? I like the style. I have seen some absolutely wack haircuts in my time and this one, I think this one is not only not bad, but is actually good.

This is barely onion, I guarantee you this is happening right now, this very moment.

In Cyberpunk 2077 we already have Captain Caliente which is basically exactly this, lmao

This comment section reads like a game of Pictionary lmao

But… Fish are vertebrates… They have a spine… What?

Brain has himself trapped in the rat race. He’s so focused on making a profit he’ll never see the truth of the world. Pinky has the ability to escape Samsara.

The poster you are replying to is a hexbear user, you have filtered out content from hexbear. This is a kludgy way to implement that but it beats having to read most of their content.

For what it’s worth, this particular comment is polite and simply states that bone grows in to the spaces left behind.

One of my favorite bits about Shadowrun in particular is that directly alongside this futuristic world of cyberdecks and prosthetics and automatic weapons, are fully fledged hauntings by things like bug ghosts and big fuck-off actual dragons (one of which owns a corporation) and other mystical crazy shit.

I’ve played a bunch of Cyberpunk 2077 but I haven’t gotten my hands on RED, so I don’t know if it has something comparable. But it sounds like you’re describing an Invae nest. Notably, bug totems are the only sort of spirit in Shadowrun that requires a sacrificial host to manifest, and bug shamans will capture people in order to infest them with bug ghosts which will gestate like xenomorph babies.

The hivemind behind these Invae are pretty much a perfect slot-in for your gestalt locust swarm if you wanted, and they’re only interested in one thing: breeding grounds. Would be an interesting moral choice for your party. It’s a powerful entity and it can do or offer many things but its price is always going to be several corpses. Not necessarily your own, or corpses of innocents, it doesn’t care about that, but it wants live bodies that will then suffer greatly and then die. And then after they die they will release many little bug ghosts, which are a nuisance at best and highly deadly at worst. The bugs ate Chicago back in 2055.

“Old man that only speaks when he knows it’s wisdom” is a killer character concept though, for what that’s worth. I’m picturing a real Uncle Iroh kind of guy. Doesn’t speak that much but when he does people know to listen.

Those people who do that, will also definitely do that in the workplace. You’re getting an accurate image of the person.
