Technically the concept of a planet is a social construct. Scientists have been scurrying around redefining the definition of a planet to exclude asteroids ever since they discovered them. Why can’t they just say that the Earth is a wet asteroid and be done with it?

Lol. For all I know I could be a quantum aristocrat, but whenever I open my bank account its wave function collapses to about $300

Yeah, now that I’ve gotten a full night of sleep I see it’s definitely a hamster. The tiny ears, the front-facing eyes, the distinctive hind legs. Idk why I thought it was a guinea pig.

I stand corrected. I should have checked; I mean, I’m not a quantum astrophysicist.
- Comment on sweet dreams 2 weeks ago:
Yes, because everybody knows the earth is in the sun’s p orbital

Totally agree but thats not a hamster

This actually is the main application for 2-almost primes. For example, instead of having an arbitrarily large prime be used for the hash, you could use a very large 2-almost prime as a key with its factors being used as 2 layers of hashing. I know there’s better uses, but the more I try to learn about cryptography the more confused I get

Reminds me of a recorded anthropology talk I saw about why humans are the only hominid out there now, and how strange that is. At the end, there was a open question segment, and the first fucking question was “How does this relate to race?”

Lmao I didn’t even notice that. I suppose that’s just good design, if it looked natural at a glance.

You see why I was frustrated with Warlock’s retelling. It didn’t even hit the important stuff.

I actually was planning on using Knave for the new campaign. Classless, very rules-light, and the designer made a lot of decisions i agree with. I will be homebrewing in races, but it’s going to be very rules-light, and mainly going to affect the order that information is given to the players, like dwarves being able to sense slope and such

That was a pretty identical take to Barbarian’s take at the time, and I agree. Personally, if I implement something I think would be cool, and it ends up not being fun at all, that’s a problem, even if it ties into the lore.
That being said, I like cludge, and I have opinions about what kinds of cludge are fun or interesting or flavorful. But I also have maintained the sort of stress-free life where I can handle dealing with cludge for fun.

It’s the closest I could come to describing what I see as the basic dnd setting. Like, where did all these dungeons come from? Why are there all these magic items around that we dont fully understand? They have to come from somewhere. You don’t see loads of professional graverobbers in a world that hasn’t been fucked.

I’m going to play devils advocate and defend this take. As far as I care, the playability of the game is more important than my lore. If I implement some system into my game that makes my game not fun to play, there had better be a good reason for it.

Good point. I think I will adopt she/her pronouns to refer to Warlock since thats what her current fiancée uses, but when I played with her she preferred they/them pronouns. AFAIK she currently uses both, as does Lynnea and Druid

- Put uranium ore in a pile
- Put lead rocks around pile
- Water heats up, primitive reactor go vroom
There obvs would be more steps to refine the tech, mainly figuring out how to refine the uranium ore, but thats the biggest step.
The main obstacle for taking this route to technology is how the people who experiment with making nuclear power more efficient keep dying of cancer. Conveniently, this race is so short-lived that they tend to die of old age before the cancer has time to kill them. In addition, they live in water, which eats most of the radiation.
They use nuclear power for all sorts of other things too, like cooking food and heating their houses. I at one point had the idea that I should let one of the cephalopodians give the party a space heater, but I couldn’t figure out how to make their reactors compact enough for that.
