The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

The only really solid things are books. I have vinyl records and cds, but using these is dependent on having access to specific devices. I'm not even sure I have a way to listen to CDs or cassettes in my house right now. Similarly, I had a hard drive crash recently, and needed to transfer some files from some old external hard drives. Even though these were all purchased within the past 10 years, a) one had failed despite only sitting in a closet and b) all of them had outdated ports (firewire, thunderbolt, etc). Same with videogames.

As much as I love and treasure my vinyl, it does degrade over time.

One of my favorite Nero Wolfe stories is about a rich woman who read a book she thought everyone should read. So she bought 10,000 copies and sent them out to every elected official and influential person she could think of.

If I were stupidly rich, after doing all kinds of things for the good of humanity, and probably buying some property in the north woods, and maybe a small business to run for fun, and maybe..., Anyway, I think I'd pay Morrus to send a free .pdf copy of Level Up A5E to everyone who registered on ENWorld and made a post to the forums. I don't know if everyone needs to read it or would like it, but it certainly seems relevant to an awful lot of things people post about wanting to write rules for.

The level of nit picking points vs just reflecting on the actual point being made drives me mental from time to time. GACK!

Xeno: I love eating pineapple pizza!

Achilles: That's not pineapple pizza. That's a Mouthful of Hot Garbage!

Xeno: What? Um, no. It's a yummy slice of pineapple pizza!

Achilles: Nope. It's a Mouthful of Hot Garbage. You know, MHG!

Xeno: What ... are ... you ... talking ... about?

Achilles: See, pizzas with pineapple topping? We call them a "Mouthful of Hot Garbage." You know, MHG. Just so we can talk about it.

Xeno: Dude. Not cool. I like eating pineapple pizza!

Achilles: Hey, c'mon. It's just a term.

Xeno: Well, how about I call your pepperoni pizza slice ... "The Vomit on A Triangle?"

Achilles: Well, you won't. Now, let's talk more about how much everyone hates a Mouthful of Hot Garbage.

Xeno: I like pineapple pizza! And stop calling it that!

Achilles: Hey now! I don't think getting all angry about terminology is going to help us understand why everyone hates Mouthfuls of Hot Garbage!

That is nothing you ever have to ask for, sweetie.

Sometimes I forget, so it's good that being told "You don't get the good stuff." is evergreen

Do you ever read through some of these threads and wonder: has this person ever played D&D with their friends? or at least with people they like?
