@jezzle9 @anon_opin That's okay. There are worse things in life.
The sad thing is I can't stop.

@msiggins @anon_opin If there's someone behind you in the queue red in the face and muttering to himself that will be me 😂

@GrampsToolshed @_FrostGiantJarl It's great up until the end game.
English

@_FrostGiantJarl @Dungeoneerhere I had no idea. But there is a reason - I don't know any of their names or achievements. Obviously GG and originals, but nothing since. Last time I engaged with an original I got pasted.
English

@msiggins @Dungeoneerhere Yes, he’s referring to many of the people that were original designers, artists, creators, authors, etc. for D&D dating back to the 70s, 80s and 90s. Many of which are also here on X and quite a few attend the Cons and some run their games there which is a very cool thing!!

@Dungeoneerhere @_FrostGiantJarl I was with you until the last sentence.
Interesting. Thanks.

@msiggins @_FrostGiantJarl People like David Wesely, Dave Megarry, other original Blackmoor players and twin cities gamers, Griff Morgan (credit to him) and also BDubs, serious dm, other Bros thru discord

@Sofia50020Sofia I have an illustrated bible because I like the artist.
Haven't read a bible since 1968.
English

@jezzle9 @anon_opin I love it and have used it since the eighties.
Embrace the richness.

@anon_opin 'Get' really gets me. I stand there screaming silently in my brain 'may I have a coffee'.

@twchristensen @TheExtremeMusi1 The early stuff was okay, at the time.

Absolutely not even close. Most overrated band of my time. I don’t get it. I’ll just never understand how this band achieved the level of popularity that they have. It’s bubble gum rock, cheap pop, or cliché sonic filler. No matter what label you put in this garbage, it’s just ass. I don’t get it.

@TheExtremeMusi1 I don't think he is even in the same universe. Awful man.

@A_DungeonDelver @WotCoasts I agree with him. I can't stand traps. But I am not modern.
English

@WotCoasts Luke has also said if he redoes his father's Castle Greyhawk he's taking out all the "unfun" things like teleporter traps and spiked pits and so on because "modern gamers don't like that sort of thing", well, I say: fuck that.
I'll stick with my unfun 1e AD&D thanks.

@laxerra Well from my perspective, as someone who has never conformed, first the invites stop (or never start), then the contact, then the entire friendship. I am down to a handful.
You don't have to do anything and I don't give life advice!

@softcorgamegirl We played for a couple of years, pretty much all the time. There were segments where there was no adventuring, just living and growing. Quite surprising at the time. Later that year we effectively came up with The Sims but, of course, did nothing with it.

My sister gave birth to a red-haired daughter. But she and her husband are both dark-haired. No one in our family has red hair. My sister insists that her husband's great-grandfather was red-haired, and that's how it was passed down. Her husband didn't believe her, especially since she has this one red-haired colleague at work. Anyway, he insisted on a DNA test, which they did after huge fights and screaming matches. My sister threw the paper in his face. It showed 99.9% he's the father. But he still doesn't believe it, says the test could have been faked or someone paid off the lab. He wants to do another one at a different lab, but my sister is afraid this will definitely lead them to divorce He's not even talking to my sister right now. But he says it's better to find out the truth and live with a clear conscience. He doesn't want to raise someone else's child.
I believe my sister 100%, but I have to admit the situation is pretty bizarre. Does anyone know anything about genetics?

Huge fan of early Simple Minds. This album is a right up there. They kind of lost me after this though. #simpleminds

@ManOfKent15 What makes you say they’re courting the Muslim vote? I see no evidence for this.

@TheExtremeMusi1 I am one of the seemingly very few people that doesn't like Kate Bush.
