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

And that's before you get to adding the salt, pepper, and possible spices (some people like sumac or other variants). A "Middle Eastern" restaurant will serve a subtly different hummus depending on where they from in the Middle East- an Israeli, tahini-forward hummus will taste quite different than a Jordanian hummus that uses yogurt.

Like many seemingly simple foods, the devil is in the details.

Yup. A Middle Eastern restaurant sounds as odd as Western European restaurant. "Today, we have scones, arancini and bratwurst in our paella. Very typical of our culture". The more removed one is from the original, the more blur there is in cooking. And the worse is that this blur is also accompanied with a "localization" of recipes, often to try to taste better to local palates but resulting in meh-ification of the food.

It can lead to... special result.

In Japan, I've seen a "French" restaurant that made maître d'hotel rib eye steak... with butter and wasabi. Or a pizza with paella topping (I am still to this day not seeing anything French in this dish, but...). Which I didn't try, but it looked like exactly what you'd expect. I was satisfied to know that the decades of unsatisfying japanese food I had had so far at home was vindicated.

Ooh! You could host a "5e Survivor: 5e Clickbait Threads" thread.

Elon Musk needs an Elon Musk!

I question that assumption.

Two questions-

1. Can a bit become reality? Say someone starts saying something like, "No one reads the DMG." Does sheer repetition of a bit cause it to manifest as an actuality?

2. If that isn't generally true, but it is true in some instances .... does that mean that some people are like, oh, The Sandman?

3. And building on (1) and (2), why do we still have bards?

Using the common D&D trope that gods exist because they have followers, "no one reads the DMG", "martials are underpowered" and "no one liked 4th edition" have replaced the capitoline triad as head honchos of the divine world. Your single-minded despise of Cacofonix wannabeess has created a small god, "hatred of bards" that is, unfortunately and as his name augurs, is severely underpowered, like a Goblin of the comic by the same name. He is, truly, a Bard among the gods. His existence depends on the presence of bards for you to hate, so he spends all his divine power to make them exist in whatever non-edition D&D produces in the future. You could have gained True Resurrection, Miracle and Gate, you have an unending series of bards.

Even if he doesn't need one, he certainly deserves one.

The GIF that I want to use would likely get me at least a warning for language, so I'll go with this one instead.

Is it too much to ask for the eatery options that a metro like NYC has without everything else?

That warlock is way overestimating the value of an individual soul

In my wife's campaign, we had a player who wanted his warlock to be his own patron. Basically, he wanted to play a warlock without any of the warlock flavor...essentially a short-rest sorcerer that can cast Eldritch Blast. They really tried to accommodate his request, but it wasn't working...he went with Fiend.

Why wouldn't it work?
