The way he’s standing makes my mind think he’s holding a walking stick/cane like Mr. Fucking Peanut.

You could go way further back than that, except, did Ford do anything? I’m sure there was some Cold War shenanigans.

I need to ask my mom about all the Amway stuff we used when I was a kid. They’re actually good products that we used instead of store-bought soap, detergents, granola bars, kool-aid (irony), and more. I think my parents just didn’t get pressured to be another level on the pyramid.

The Starter Set is the perfect intro for players and the DM both, and there are resources online for balancing it for different player counts. I would recommend against letting anyone play more than one character.

Please god, take all the oranges you want. Better than splattered on my hood or eaten by rats.

And this is why D&D is awesome.

As far as the general population goes, I think Barack is not a very cool person; he’s probably around average. As far as presidents go, he is the coolest motherfucker ever to sit in the Oval Office.

I think the Starter Set adventure, Lost Mines of Phandelver is uninspired on purpose. It’s made to have new players say, “Oh, goblins, I know what they are. Orcs! Got it. A dragon!” Then it moves on into very D&D stuff like a mini-beholder and a drow.

Yeah, getting a new player to also learn the UI of an online game is a bridge too far for many.

1981-1978=3, but I suppose I was more likely 2 and some change now that you make me think harder about it.

I’m so happy I already played this mission. Having to go through it with this article echoing in my head would have been even worse.

In the interest of not piling on to Major, I want to point out to you that I’m 38 and was 3 years old when this happened; I have never heard of the incident. It’s stretching the definition of younger folk that don’t know about this.

I got the middle-quality $20 bread knife at Ikea and it changed my life (in a minor and mostly inconsequential way). For the cost of the upgrade I absolutely think it’s worth it.

Only eggplant turns that nasty color out of the oven, so I’m going with eggplant parmesan, baked beyond edibility.

Too many uppers, can’t sit back and relax.

Screw you for posting a link to the climbing gear. I’m trying to go internet-free on my first playthrough; I might be playing too much, but I’m pretty sure I heard that link whispering at me. NOT TODAY, TEMPTING LINK!

Yeah, I’ve been to Luxembourg, which is roughly the same size as a single county of California. Sure, they spent the first half of the 20th century being a minor impediment to various German armed forces, but they exist quite well these days.

Per-capita, Iowa had the most Civil War casualties. Just like today, it was a small state that put it all on the line. Now this shitweasel gets voted in, more than once.

This motherfucker represents my hometown. The fact that I’m tempted to move back to Iowa and run for the House shows how bad things can be. (Don’t get me wrong, Iowa is a *very nice* place to live. I’m just an urban addict.)

My first time in Kakariko, I kept waiting for a load screen when I opened a door. Then, I went to buy something and asked out loud, “I’ll take ‘em all? How many do they have?” when I realized the number of carrots in the basket was the store’s inventory.
