and when I'm sipping on a Perrier
on some cafe in St Tropez
it's hard to keep the fans at bay!
they say "sign my poodle, s'il-vous plait?
"sign my poodle, s'il-vous plait?"
POODLE. POODLE.

Entre-nous, it's very true
the room temperature is higher than my IQ
but they like me more than Gerard Depardieu!

The upshot of rereading a big chunk of PF2e rules book yesterday is today's Hot D&D Take; PF2e is basically a successful 4e. You can play anything; feats are how you do multiclassing; there are no dead levels or obviously underpowered class benefits.

But using different feats to benefit more generalized situations feels like something you can play without being linked to a map and keeps bonuses for players from being the ginormous sprawl of 4e abilities.

leaving "I saw a fire bright in a rich man's hearth/with a cold corpse outside the door/it's better to be alive/the living can keep a cow" as a comment on every version of "No Quarter" until either they ban me from YouTube or challenge me to holmganga, whichever one

how have I been chased for so long
how long
how long
every time my heart beats I grow strong
so strong
so strong
all these things are brought up to me
head on
right on
all these things are brought up to me
right on
bright on

NOTHING can stop the DUKE OF EARL

the jungle thought to be impenetrable cannot stop him
the scattered defenders cannot stop him
NOTHING STOPS HIM

man Dancing Days is such a GOOD track

also King Animal is a great album and much as I liked Bones of Birds it really gets interesting after Taree

I woke up with my feet nailed down
and my head movin' the speed of sound
had a dream I was caught in a maze and I couldn't find my way back out
some were born to move mountains around
and some to rot away in jail
I get an itch and when I am scratching
everything can go to Hell!
And how long is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
I've almost become good enough
should the good life be so hard won?
is that what our dreams have become?

sometimes when you shoot an arrow
it can fly across the sky so proud
I would go all the way to the sun if I didn't have to come back down
And how long is halfway there?

oh man this cover of Misirlou makes me wish I had some cigs, some mint tea and some date mahmoul like a civilized person.

No mint tea but it turns out I have genmaicha left so I'm starting water boiling.

"but y'know what the funniest thing about Pathfinder is? It's the little differences."
"Example."
"You can play a spider person. And I don't mean no drow elf, I mean a muthafuckin' 8 eyed arachnid. And in PF2e? You can play an android. You know what they call a paladin in PF2e?"
"They don't call it a paladin?"
"No man, they got 3 actions per round, they don't know what the fuck a paladin is. They call it a champion."
"Heh. Une championne. What do they call an Occult Herbmaster?"
"I dunno, I didn't go into Mork Borg."

Made it out with enough time to stop by the used bookstore and enough willpower to not buy a 3.5 PHB (let’s be honest, when am I going to play 5e let alone stuff from 3 prior editions in my game shelves?) or a book about a fairly recent war (I realize admitting any interest will get me flame broiled here).

Spoke too soon. I hate how waiting for dinner works here. I hate how having the eventual dinner works here. I’m gonna eat a huge edible and listen to Led Zeppelin IV and take a really long hot shower when I get back to Seattle.

Currently left to myself while waiting for dinner, getting to be in a book is really good by comparison, explains why I read so much as a kid

When you consider how food got handled in my family it’s weird I don’t have an eating disorder

Can I go elsewhere please?

Oh sweet sacred Corellon I HATE dinners here

Want to go back to my place and cook hoppin’ john, get REAL baked, and have my actual personality acknowledged maybe.

I just want to go back to my shitty apartment

also I wish I didn’t get self hate and guilt every time I wished death on someone who pissed me the fuck off, that’d kinda be useful these last 7 years.

This is unrelated to how you can sing “Dinocheirus” to “My Sharona.”

“Dino damage” refers to how the psyche of kids in the 90s was scarred by numerous Jurassic Park toys and spin-offs such that they now find dinosaurs absurdly hot.

Historical records are unclear whether “Hereward the Pooh” or “Winnie the Wake” was the adorable pudgy bear who led resistance against Duke William’s conquest of England.
