The logical conclusion: Human: "Aww, what an adorable robo--" Smol robot: "EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!"

To be fair, though, his pulpit thumping in High Gygaxian does make for a fun-to-read screed. I could practically hear the gauntlet at the feet of the The New Gamer Establishment with that last pulse-pounding declaration.

Weird spin on the whole medusa turn-to-stone thing. No word if the victim was a bard or paladin, though. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9jr3y8gv5o

And now I'm wondering what this kraken might draw on another other tentacle to lure in naturists. :unsure:

Yeah, that stuff really gums up the typewriter.

Yeah, dinos have been pretty common in my experience, starting with Isle of Dread. Quite a few prehistoric jungle islands or subterranean lost worlds type adventures over the years. Also the odd one-off uses here and there (like when some miners accidentally released some undead velociraptor...

If he wasn't in a position to influence the creation of a literal Woke Police or some such nonsense, it'd be just kind of stupid funny and pathetic. As it is, though, this sort of thing leaves me feeling vaguely nauseous. And I say that as a middle-aged cishet white guy. I can't imagine how...

I'm betting on a game with a story loosely based on Tyranny of Dragons, built on the Flappy Bird engine.

Interesting to see it (finally) not falling for the "since the user mentions it, i must talk about it" trick. Last week, chatgpt gave me all sorts of information about "the allegory of the duck" in a variety of novels like The Road, Dune, or The Grapes of Wrath. I would chastise it for lying...

I blame inflation!

Loquaciousness is its own reward. I think that's why words like "loquaciousness" are called ten-dollar words.

I mean, it is very serious business....

I think hardcopy released just yesterday? Mine should arrive Monday-ish. Definitely looking forward to it; I really enjoyed his other books, Neverland and Oz.

I drive a manual '07 Accent hatchback with janky electrical that causes things to go on or off at random, no matter how the buttons or knobs are set. To turn the AC or radio on or off, I basically just have to punch the console, Han Solo-style.

You know, shrimp. They're like chuuls, but tiny and pink.
