A guildie of mine just recently got a commission done for pretty much this (well, the character is a half-elf, but still.)

She can be a lure for the dogmatics as the cute religious bald girl who wants to introduce you to her family and have a modest 12 to 24 kids.

You have constructive talks about why or why not the Emperor has three arms between wholesome cuddling and then the swarm shows up for real and you have to choose between those big purple doe eyes and holy prometheum.

I started a Tale of Two Wastelands (FO3+NV) game with a nice wabbajack modlist that installed everything for me with extremely simple and easy to follow setup.

I’d forgotten how goofy Talon Company is.

If you get good karma for any reason you get a massive bounty (1k+ caps!) put on your head and they start hunting you down. This seemingly exists solely for parity with the far more understandable bounty you’d get for having bad karma from stuff like stealing and killing nice people.

Not that the karma system makes any sense to begin with, mind you.

Oh well, free stuff to pick up and sell, I guess. And killing them is karma approved :+1:

When waking up, I had a micro-dream that I was using a browser and a popup appeared.

Even my brain is showing me popups now.

We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty

B-but I don’t even have a car!

(Of course, that’s how I recognize spam. I’ve had some scam emails urging me to renew subscriptions for services I never subscribed to in the first place.)

Acquire a prudish mod, they often appear.

This reminds me, I still need to check through the ‘Essential’ mods list and then install/play New Vegas.

Dead tired during the afternoon, wide awake at night.
Body this isn’t sustainable, we hate pulling an all nighter and going to work.

D&D gold dragons have officially had a redesign

I just went on a night walk across the city and realized that, since moving, I miss having a patch of wilderness that I could call my own.

My old place was in a quiet suburb on the city border, just a short walk from a large field with a few groves in it. (Unfortunately, with the city growing, many of the house’s once-quiet surroundings were deforested for construction.) I had favorite spots where I could be alone with my thoughts at night, with just the trees, stars, and chirping birds for company.

My new place is well within city borders and all the wildlands are far away, nowhere within walking distance.

Though on the bright side, I get to see city life at night, people cheering in restaurants and the like…

I experienced the same after moving. While there are patches of nature nearby, the forest near my old place was truly ‘separate’ from the city. It’s not impossible to reach - same city - but it’s gone from a twenty minute walk to get there to an 80 minute walk. And then the same back. Sadly a bit much, most days.

The comments on the article talking about it (https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-new-gold-dragon-design-exclusive/) mention that they wanted to increase the design diversity of the dragons (which, while not identical, were mostly the same save for some slight weight, head, and colour changes) in the future, so hopefully the other colours get some cool redesigns too.

Though, personally, I think red+silver could stay the same as the core ‘dragon-dragons’ of chromatic and metallic respectively.

Yeah, there’s a lot of variety that can be had with dragons - even the Warcraft dragons show that well with their variety of breath weapons and magic

Trying to figure out how a face of a character works is the worst.
Translating from brain to page shouldn’t be so complicated, especially when you already got that one sketch that’s just basically perfect but struggle to get the other angles right.

Parents: okay we’re going to do some decorating, do you have any input on this

Me, adultly: if you take down the animal wall stickers in the study you are obligated to replace them
