@Kingvannytz_ second series was the best. Stood well on its own imo

So lucky for anyone who’s going to watch this Series for the first time. This is elite. 10/10. 🍿🥶🔥

@WhittersRichard @Nerdcognito I can understand why they changed it. a lot of the Fiend Factory monsters were a bit irreverent

@monkeyandtiger @Nerdcognito Oh, I didn’t know that!

Fiend Folio: A gloriously unhinged gift to AD&D. Githyanki elbow ball sacks & a whole zoo of “what the hell is THAT?” Pure chaotic weirdness to drop on your players; then watch their brains melt! Who else loves this glorious mess? Drop your fav Folio freak in the replies.

@TIMFAM0US @brockpierson Yes. I thought that too. Still don't like him. But if he toned it down he might make something more appealing after all

@brockpierson Honestly, it seems to match his energy really well. I found it genuinely less annoying

𝕏's favorite influencer is in Japan! 🇯🇵 What do you think of his performance?

@WhittersRichard @Nerdcognito Originally called a Glooey in WD

@Nerdcognito Sticky guy for the win!

@TheBadUncle @Nerdcognito Killed two people the first time I tried this

@Nerdcognito Nothing like the shock of seeing this lovely without her body...

@LawDogStrikes @Nerdcognito @jeframdenkar Yes. My favourite too. Every encounter with them builds a story

@Nerdcognito @jeframdenkar As a big fan of Jason Voorhees and the Terminator, it’s gotta be the Revenant. Cleans up those mirderhoboes nicely. 🤣🤣🤣

@simpsonryan32 @blightersort you've just made me want to read it again

@blightersort It's a good series but it's definitely of its time. You can almost smell that 70s scent of cigarettes, vinyl car interiors and hair spray when you turn the page.

in Larry Riven’s Ringworld stories, the Ringworld is a constructed ring around a star and so is a massive land area. At some point in the past, its civilization collapsed leaving a massive area home to a huge number of hominids of various types and no other native fauna. so, over the aeons, the formerly sapient humanoids evolve to fill every ecological niche: scavenger, vermin, everything. what an implausibly fantastic premise, i think to myself as i commute home on the NY subway

@BigBearF1 Using chalk and slate to write my name

Without naming your age, what's something you remember from school that totally dates you? Flying blackboard, chalk filled rubbers….! 😉

@ARRGETSTUFFED The was an early White Dwarf adventure where the mibster could nit be killed until someone died Tallied well with the scream prophesying death

Interestingly, the B/X Banshee, introduced in B4, is not undead but something other…

@eshalakundala Tbh it's such a gay film

so funny that everyone would just overlook a fagcent if you were sexy enough

@rosethaaartist I went for my first interview and was told to take a toothbrush because id be working 90 miles way that afternoon

I remember you could go to a temp agency and get a job in a day

@whoistife_x Strolling. Ive been stroking today and am using a lot more muscles than normal. Probably because my posture is much more correct ...... and I engage my feet more

what’s the most underrated exercise you think nobody talks about enough?

@DanDeFiEd Price of freedom

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied. In Italy: - Walk into a bar and look at the guy - Un caffe - 30 seconds later it’s ready - Shoot it - Leave €1 - Walk out In the US: - Join a line - Wait - Order coffee - Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it? - $12.34 - Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip - Tap phone - ask where to send the invoice - Wait again on a different line - Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine - get the coffee - too hot, can't drink it - finally at temperature taste like shit

@thatdudereed_ Especially with an injury...... my teacher used to tell me REST IS A FORM OF EXERCISE. I'd get some good advice on the knees too. They are very vulnerable

Today while I was exercising I felt a sharp pain in the crease of my left knee and tried to keep going as it felt worse. I couldn’t finish the workout, and seem to anytime I push pressure on my left leg or twist with it that one spot is in unbearable. I’m going to rest and see if that helps, if not I’ll figure out how to push froward. Just trying not to let it, let me slip. 💪🔥

@LibertyPillMeme I liked thus more than I should. Good act Good timing

She was definitely having a good time with this

@Rainmaker1973 Ive always woken up and become likely in around March when it starts getting lighter. Other people need to wait to summer. I wondered if this was a factor too..... mating 6 weeks earlier

Red hair continues to be favored by evolution, and researchers may now understand why. A groundbreaking genetic analysis of nearly 16,000 ancient human genomes has revealed that variants associated with red hair and fair skin have steadily increased in frequency across Europe for more than 10,000 years. This finding demonstrates that human evolution did not grind to a halt in the distant past. Instead, it has continued to actively shape our biology in relatively recent history. The key advantage appears tied to sunlight exposure. In the cloudy, northern latitudes of Europe, fair skin and red hair allow the body to synthesize vitamin D more effectively from limited sunlight. For early agricultural societies often facing dietary shortfalls, this trait likely offered a significant survival edge. Yet red hair is only part of a broader picture. The study identified 479 genetic variants under recent natural selection. Some are clearly beneficial, including those linked to reduced risk of diabetes, male-pattern baldness, and rheumatoid arthritis. Others are more surprising. Variants increasing susceptibility to coeliac disease and even tuberculosis rose in frequency at certain periods. Scientists suspect these genes may have provided protection against different infections in ancient environments, despite their drawbacks today. The research also showed that genes promoting higher body fat stores became less common over time. Traits once crucial for surviving famines lost importance as farming provided more stable food supplies. What sets this study apart is its unprecedented scale. By integrating vast amounts of ancient DNA with modern genetic information, scientists can now observe evolution unfolding almost in real time — tracking how specific traits rose or declined over millennia. The core message is both straightforward and eye-opening: human evolution did not slow down with the rise of agriculture and civilization. It simply kept pace, quietly refining traits like red hair that may once have helped early Europeans avoid severe vitamin D deficiency and thrive in changing conditions.

@Cian1831311 @TBYSTweet yes. Im in the same boat. Im niw finding i understand what a word means. But I haven't idea how to pronounce it

@TBYSTweet I've been learning japanese in my spare time too, and find that I can actually watch lots of anime but only using japanese subtitles? I find I can recognise the kanji and it's meaning, but I always forget it's pronunciation? It's a weird problem lol What do you use to learn btw?

To all of the people who are trying to learn Japanese so they can watch anime without subtitles, let me say this... The minute you learn Kanji, you will exclusively watch anime with subtitles.

@SandyofCthulhu It's also a good reflection on japan's experience of recovery after the war.

I took my 12yo grandson to see Godzilla Minus One in the theater. He was of course excited, but I was a little concerned because would it be too scary. The WHOLE MOVIE he was sitting forward in his seat, his hands gripping the armrests, staring unblinking, jaw agape. He was picking up on stuff I didn't get. But you need to know my grandson has an eidetic (photographic) memory. So I'm watching it, and there's a report that Godzilla is seen near Giza. Big deal I think, but my grandson gasps and says "Oh no!" Because HE had remembered that the girl got a job in Giza. But I had not. When it ended, I asked my grandson if it was too scary. He said, breathlessly, "No!" Then I asked him what was the best part, and he said, "Every part was the best part." I reluctantly had to say that despite my great love for the original 1954 movie, Godzilla Minus One beats it. Two other facts: 1) The IJN Takao was a real ship which survived the war. It even survived Leyte Gulf! 2) Godzilla Minus One cost less than $15 million. We could have made 25 of them for the cost of Avatar: The Way of Water. Or 15 for the cost of Wakanda Forever. Godzilla Minus One punked the American movie system so hard.

@YoDanno My first character i rolled 18.97 and was too embarrassed so made it 18.79

Maybe the rarest roll to get during character creation in AD&D, the 18/00. Legendary.

@EricDiaz_RPG I expect someone else paid because that's what kings do. In the Mars series the whole introduction is about training to have the sword skills. Hawkmoon spends a long time training too

@monkeyandtiger Sure, but can you picture them PAYING for it as I've mentioned?

One issue I have with older D&D is... Can anyone give me an example of Conan, Elric, or John Carter paying for hirelings, let alone TRAINERS? Maybe this is why my players seem uninterested in that, even tough I like the idea.
