Now I'm imagining the deal between Tesla and Siemens:

Siemens guy: alright Mr Musk, just sign these papers and the mireo will be leased to your company

Elon (in 8 year old voice): woo! I made a Giga train! Choo Choo!

Siemens guy: umm, okay... As I said, the train is a Siemens Mireo. Hopefully this lease agreement will benefit both of our companies

Elon: nuh uh! It's a Giga train and I invented it! Nobody ever had anything like this for getting around before!

I ran "The Haunting of Ypsilon 14". It's a solid adventure, though the reason for the players to stay and help is a bit thin. Once the players realized that something spooky was going on, they all were like "why wouldn't we just leave?" I came up with something plausible enough for them to justify continuing to play, but they told me afterward that aspect was a bit immersion breaking. The actual scenario though was very effective at spooking them.

I played online using this micro vtt, since my gaming group is not physically nearby. I just used pdfs for the rules and the module itself. The one-page adventure format was surprisingly easy to run.

That explains why in the movie Predator, you can hear the crunch of Doritos right before it attacks.

So funny when a corpo is forced to seem positive about something where there is absolutely no positive way of spinning it. It has this surreal energy where the person doing PR seems almost uncanny, like some kind of lizard person.

A good initiative, but given that Ontario is controlled by the Ford mafia, I don't imagine there's much chance of it succeeding.

If I'm writing a blacklist for slurs, I'm not thinking of archaic words like "griffe". I'm just making sure it doesn't use anything that would be used in a modern context.
