That's cursive for you. Very fast as long as nobody ever has to read it.

Somebody had to say it! Think about it. A product that somebody made but nobody uses is just a waste of resources, but a product that somebody uses but nobody made is - by the fact of somebody using it - as valid as anything. Over the past century and a half or so people have wasted so much...

They are WRITING things. They just aren't making pictures. EDIT: And for that matter they still wouldn't be making pictures if they hired a human artist. Either way they're not making the pictures themselves, so what's the difference?

I sign in cursive. Which is the only situation where I've ever used cursive after I learned it (I learned it in school but due to disuse I no longer remember how to make any letter that isn't in my name)

They are creating things themselves. They're just not needlessly hiring an artist to illustrate it. As long as that savings get passed on to the consumer that's fine with me; the consumer is the only important part of the economy. (That said, if they don't pass that savings on to the consumer...

Yeah. I mean Facebook is literally called "Facebook". Of course people would be sharing links to the Necronomicon

A game similar to the 1996 city builder Afterlife in which you build a heaven and hell, but with the following changes: *Better game balance *more modern flavor text and interface *More influence over the mortal world *You get to choose what is a virtue and what is a vice

Personally I tend to imagine things as working the way that they do in The Ring or In The Mouth of Madness ("what about people who don't read?" "There's a movie") or The Evil Dead (you may notice that in Parts 1, 2, and 5 the characters don't actually read from the book - They play a recording...

In the Dunwich Horror they let Whatley look at the book, things just get unfriendly when he asks to take it with him. In the time he spent reading and translating it he could have, with modern equipment, probably photographed a great deal of it. And what about something like The King In Yellow...

The Men Who Stare at Gods - Call of Cthulhu. Alternate history where the US government became aware of the mythos in the 1980's during the Stargate Project (a military investigation into the paranormal and whether it can be weaponized) and things have gone pear shaped

That's something that's actually canonically dealt with in Whisperer in Darkness in regard to the Mi-Go, but they do eventually figure out a way to photograph them

Even if not by google search than eventually someone would end up emailing it around like the tape in Rings or reading it out loud over the air like in Fistful of Boomstick or Scary Movie 3

It occurs to me that Call of Cthulhu would have to work a lot differently in a modern setting since there's not really such a thing as a rare or esoteric book anymore. You're one google search away from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Popul Vuh, the Gospel of Judas, the Enuma Elish, the Book of the...

I want to try to run Toon with my local gaming group but I'm stuck trying to update the humor in the published adventures. I want the vibe to to be less Looney Toons and more Spongebob. But that means I basically have to rewrite the whole adventure from scratch. But I don't feel comfortable...

Haunted Hospital - As it says on the tin, the PCs are investigating a hospital that's haunted. A lot of people die in hospitals it stands to reason they'd be haunted.

I'm American. Anything that reduces the cost of medical care is fine with me

I think what needs to happen is a move away from currency as it is currently understood, and towards something that's more like SNAP, but for everything. Coupled with the elimination of regular incomes.

Also, before all this AI business, hadn't there been worries that we woundn't have enough workers because of declining birth rates, aging populations, etc.? Well now that's not a problem. A wise man once said: too much is always better than not enough.

Let me just put a link to the video

A combination City Builder and 4x wherein the city of the city building part doubles as the grand strategy map for the empires of some smaller creature (perhaps of the city's rats, which could be cartoony and anthropomorphized) There really ought to be a use-it-or-lose-it law for IP
