    It's not designed to make you feel smart.
  2. Generic Table top gaming.

    Probably not. They have nerfed the wish spell quite a lot in 5e. It's no longer the universe changing thing it used to be. It has some specified uses and a general "other" use, but the other is rather tightly tied to what the DM wants to do to mess with you. https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Wish#content

  4. Things that go bang

    OK, proof that the US military is weird. In WWII there as crotch armor (for air gunners I suspect). What's weird is there was at least 4 versions based on the "E4" part of the nomenclature

  6. NP Comic for Thursday, Jun 2, 2022

    I'm sorta a post cable kid, as Tulsa got cable fairly early. My younger sibling were a cable kids, but I moved in with my grandparents who barely had TV (and didn't once they retired) much less cable. I knew about, and remember watching "The Honeymooners" but my memory is shot and sit-com character names aren't something I normally remember.
  7. Video Game Discussion 5

    Minecraft seems almost as complex as Eve and that's saying a lot. Question, how much of the Minecraft economy is player driven? The Eve economy is pretty much 90% or more player driven.

    <google> That's who I though that was. Might be outside the reference pool of most Gen-Z types.

    Pandora said "magic users" not "wizard", which may or may not be important in this case. Two of the three places where wizard, by name, are mentioned it's said that they get other people's spells with no indication that they get their own. In the 3rd it's said that they may or may not get spells of their own. My feeling is that some do and some don't. Also Arthur described himself as a "wizard with a quirk", which tells me that a wizard not getting spells of their own isn't unheard of.

    Word of The Dan, but It still doesn't say if wizards get their own spells. Here is the Shiveapedia thing on wizards and it's firmly in the wishy-washy camp. Doesn't say one way or the other. Actually I followed the reference link. Tedd says that they may or may not get spell of their own, so it goes both ways, at least as far as what could be called a canon source.

    Edward says the same thing here, in that wizards learn other people spells. Still doesn't say if they get their own spells or not. But this is two times the other people's spell thing is mentioned with out the getting their own spells. Still could go either way. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2008-11-26

    Freefall is one of the few comics I reread from time to time. Grrl Power, Girl Genius, Kevin and Kell and of course EGS being the others.

    https://www.egscomics.com/comic/sister3-286 Arthur didn't say that she would get her own spells, just she would be able to get other peoples spells.

    As I've said before, Rat is one of the great thinkers of our time.
  16. Things That Are Just Annoying

    I'm humming birding. Need to tell my shrink that this is happening more often. Don't know what she's going to do about it, but I suspect either 1) Nothing or 2) Major change to my meds. Not sure which one I'd rather have.
  17. Here is. And Dwight get's his slap down from Liam. Now let's see how much of it sticks. A single epiphany doesn't always undo years of bigotry.

    <google> Why didn't you just say "Magical Girl"? Ranting about languages aside, if Ashley is a wizard, she doesn't get spells of her own. She can learn other people's spells, so I expect that once she has a enough power to cast it, she will get Elliot's Cheerleadra spell and probably a few of Ellen's beam spells.

    I feel for you Pig.
  20. Things That Are Just Annoying

    I pretty much keep a dawn to dusk "awake" schedule. I feel like crap the day after I violate this.
  21. Things That Are Just Annoying

    I know that, but having a schedule that is close to 100% out of phase with the day/night cycle isn't good.

  23. The Weather.

    Getting tired of rain. Starting about 9:00 PM today and going all day tomorrow (until 2:00 AM Thursday) we are forecast for rain. I suspect my sleep is going it be all sorts of messed up and I'm going to have body aches. This has the possibility to suck and suck a lot.
  24. Things That Are Just Annoying

    My refrigerator just started making noises when the compressor is in use. I hope that this isn't an indication that it's about to fail.
  25. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Taking an early nap yesterday messed up my sleep schedule. I need to keep that in mind when I decide to crash about 2 in the afternoon.
