    Slowly improving. I still feel like I'm not necessarily 100% over the crud. Still got a little bit of nagging post-nasal drip and congestion approaching two months later.

    Pratchetts Discworld Story Poll - what is best in life?

    Nope! I voted for Reaper Man, though I love the witches and the watch.

    Our Physical Fitness

    Thursday night I failed to go in- got a buyer for my couch which was in storage since the move who wanted to meet right during what would have been gym time, then a friend of mine who works in a kitchen had a rare night off, so we went out and got excellent food and a couple of drinks. I did...

    D&D General When Was it Decided Fighters Should Suck at Everything but Combat?

    I think the Shaman class in 4E hit this spot. At least one or two of the Bard archetypes as well. Whereas Invokers were the divine controller answer to a Wizard. More 4E concepts. :)

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Looks awesome. :) I make Mithridate a purchasable neutralize poison in some of my games. More edits: "macxe" in the weapons list. Talent table, missing a space after "Dexterity,", and normally none of the entries would end with periods, right?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sorry, what isn't how literature is mostly taught? Are you suggesting that MOST literature classes are teaching students to make unsupported assertions? :unsure: Who were the people, in this case? Enthusiastic but ignorant undergrads? It's weird that you wrote this reply to me asserting that...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    What kind of analysis? A single sentence taken out of context obviously is really hard to analyze meaningfully. But that's not how literary analysis is generally done. We can speculate that blue used in a story might be intended to imply "feeling blue" emotionally, but practically no one is...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yes, it depends on the author. SOMETIMES they just randomly chose blue, but certainly not always. Even leaving aside unconscious cultural associations, many writers DO mean to symbolize and imply things through their word choices and details. I was discussing Fellowship of the Ring the other...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Definitely depends on the author. Totally false! Absolute poppycock! It's white screen!

    What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

    What did you think of Cloak and Dagger? I haven't made time for it yet but heard interesting things. How about West Wing? I've watched the first 5 seasons, some of the early stuff multiple times. It's a favorite in my family, but it's been a while since I revisited it.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Battle for Skull Pass, or an older one? That one was Dwarves vs Night Goblins. Trying to remember- there was an older 90s High Elves vs Goblins set, right? 4th edition, I think.
