I like the idea that they’re not just symbols, but shapes. Get anything to be shaped like a rune, and it’ll touch magic. So two rocks leaned against each other just right might create a trickle of water, or a tree that grows a twisted enough web of branches could, by chance, summon a flame. Then, like with all natural phenomenon, people figured it out! It fits well with the trope that wizards are arcane researchers and scientists, you find in settings like D&D’s

“I’m an accountant and I use a calculator, so all artists should have to use photoshop.”

I work for an ISP, and this is a common practice among my peers

People read the subject line, assuming it’s not longer than about seven words, and then the first 30%, and last 15% of your email, in my experience. You can increase this by adding line breaks and bullets. In my experience, the best responses come from a short paragraph, followed by a couple bullet points, then a couple sentences, then your salutation/signature. I try not to write anything longer than that.

Maybe I’m just an old man now, but it’s been years since I was interested in a game with lootboxes. I think the last one I played was Overwatch, back when it originally came out

We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I’m told, is much harder to do now unfortunately

I have procrastinated the switch this far, I’ll be damned if my laziness gives in now! Lol

As far as I know, that’s pretty much stuck around. I think it’s a game where you kind of need to embrace the jank

Yeah, it took me a long time to get this, because I was too impressed by the design lol

Correct pluralization and it shows which door is open!

Cropping a farside comic to poorly remove the signature is a new level of shitpost lol

I don’t know what app they’re from, but I’ve definitely been sent videos that are the way you described

Lower Decks is my favorite Star Trek since DS9. When it came out though, I was super against it. Didn’t think Paramount had any right to be making fun of Star Trek after Discovery season 1. You can tell Lower Decks is made by people that love Star Trek though.

This last season, they did a classic Audience-with-the-Klingon-High-Council episode, and when I saw it, I exclaimed to my fiance, “Yes! I love Klingon bureaucracy episodes!” and then later in the episode, there was almost that exact same line

Strange New Worlds has been finding their feet too. We got a courtroom episode on Augment rights, that really felt Star Trek, and they’ve had some original stories as well that I’ve really loved, like Among the Lotus Eaters. There have been a couple episodes I haven’t been a fan of, but what Star Trek hasn’t had those?

If you’re open to it, I recommend giving both shows another chance!

To squash the bourgeoisie!

Launched in 1995, the brand takes its name from the original location of Costco’s corporate headquarters in Kirkland, Washington.

Give me a cup of Mek anyday

Oh really? I never thought of that. Interesting!

I played it back when it was free before Monster Hunter Worlds came out, and it was great then!

Timelines also progress from left to right, so that one holds up
