Not the Sonic pregnancy meme I expected.

Except it just goes in a circle.

Honestly, yeah, probably.

Resource tracking is a drag, unless every single member of the party is into it. Because of they’re not, then inevitably it will come down to one guy who gets to be the accountant for the whole group, and that leads to disputes where he gets to decide who got what reward when and what’s in their damned pockets.

Sauron eats pieces of shit like Tucker Carlson for breakfast.

And wielding cool battle-axes, presumably.

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.

You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.

I read that at first as “statues of Lebowski” and got unreasonably excited.

Automatic disadvantage on your next roll for rules lawyering the DM.

Lol

Everyone keeps telling Musk that.

In theory I agree with the sentiment, but then I imagine the same people who’re supposed to be keeping oil pipelines from rupturing put in charge of nuclear materials.

One causes more of the other.

Curiosity Show is a goddamned treasure. I will never get tired of these clips.

I’ve always loved that about him.

The podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern has a whole spinoff podcast where its fantasy world characters play “Offices and Bosses”.

It’s just as well. Where would you even put them all?

It’s a combination of both. Studios typically will mix the end result for the highest-end sound setups, which most people don’t actually have. If you’re lucky enough to have a full surround with the ability to properly dial in equalizer and other settings, you probably won’t have a problem hearing the dialogue even when it’s mumbled. But on conventional tv speakers, it can easily get lost in the mix.

I’ve used subtitles for most of my adult life, ever since having kids. First it was so I could watch without waking the baby, and then it was so I could follow along over all the noise in the house. And I never went back. So as sound mixing changed and got muddier, I guess I didn’t notice, because I was already used to not being able to hear half the dialogue anyway.
