Look, some people just don't want to be happy; they'd piss in their own corn flakes so they could complain about the taste.

Hey, somebody has to piss in the cornflakes... Otherwise we'd all just be happy and agreeable, and then we'd need to find something constructive to do with all the free time we had now that we weren't arguing on the internet with people who basically agree with us... :p

Of course, if you're eating plain cornflakes for breakfast, you're probably the sort of person who deserves to be pissed off about their life all the time, lol. :cool:

So, are you saying whether Chicago style "pizza" is a casserole or pizza should be determined from the cheese and not the crust? or that we should just treat casserole and pizza as the same thing?

A: I'm designing a random event table of bad luck going from worst to least bad for my modern horror game. And so, a car accident is one of the worst and a stubbed toe is one of the least bad.

B: Only on average, there are lots of people who walk away uninjured from a car accident. Some people have conditions that can make a stubbed toe life risking.

A: !?

B: And maybe the car accident was actually good luck because it kept them from catching a plane that was going to crash.

The worst that can happen to you in a horror game is a car accident? I think that might be why scare quotes were invented. It’s a “horror” game.

It's just the random part about what happens to you each morning. It leaves out the part where the world is actively out to get you.

B: Even if they did die it wouldn't be the car accident that killed them. It would be the loss of oxygenated blood to the brain that sometimes comes along with car accidents.

If anybody here plays video games, I highly recommend you check out Disco Elysium. The worldbuilding is phenomenal, and the game itself is highly amusing.
Revechol was, I believe, originally the setting for the developer’s home RPG (possibly even D&D). DE is a tremendously funny, deeply sad and cathartic experience - vast and oceanic, like my soul. I would buy the tabletop setting in a heartbeat.

I'm making homemade lasagna this week and the distance from yesterday's stromboli to the lasagna is very, very small. (I'm using the same red sauce on each, for instance.)

Oh, I can think of a number of ways that a car crash can work in horror, especially as an intelligent protagonist will try to get the heck away from the scene of the horror.

I have a sinking suspicion the explanation of the reasons for the arguments will lead to more arguments. Oh comma well.
