Why is that? lack of funding?
So around the 11th there's going to be a "learn to play" thing for dnd at my local comic shop, which boils down to a class for new players, and then character creation. After that, around the 17th, it's an open game. Hoping it'll be a bunch of old wizards and not a bunch of discord trannies ERPing lol, I'll be honest i forgot all the old horror stories and the range of people that play dnd nowadays.

I hope they don't rip off too much from dead space, i hate when its kind of obvious when someone takes too much from something. The gimmik in this game is "don't let them merge" so when an ememy finds a dead body or another enemy it becomes more powerful and harder to kill.
I'll be honest here, i regret to no end that i didn't order the Double Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, four by four, animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim
at in-and-out burger, it's been 5 years since i was near one and i have been thinking about what it would look like and how it would taste. The thing is, i know for a fucking fact its real because i was there and all the special wording actually works and is real, animal style is an actual thing, cooked in mustard, all of these are real options and i think the writers of the episode knew it too. They probably ate at in-and-out or knew a fucker who ordered it.
>>4695
Cooked in mustard, with cheese onions sause and pickles mixed in, you can even request animal style fries
ITT: Books, Novels Short stories and anything related.
I was reading Killers of the flower moon recently and it was a good historical book. Secretly it was also a western thriller. (dispite it being nonfiction) It flipped perspectives to diffrent people which made it almost an anthology of sorts, and it was pretty refreshing to hear diffrent stories from diffrent people instead of a one sided narritive.
Another book i read was the irl adventures of a man exploring the wastes of chernobyle although i forgot the name it was a fun read, he was basically homeless and somewhat suffering but his willpower and attraction to the disaster is what kept him coming back over and over.51 replies (and 4 file replies) omitted.

Lol so i was reading an early dnd book from the 1980's, shadowdale. (its quite good) This passage is quite important and needs to be pointed out:
>A particularly fervent old man had sworn that Oghma, God of Knowledge and Invention, had assumed the form of Pretti, his cat, and spoke with him on matters of the greatest urgency.
What are these matters of urgency? I must know.
>>4659
Super fucking confused at a few details but i decided to listen to the audiobook version afterwards, so it might clear up some stuff for me. Anyhow, bane is an emo bitch lol, it was mentioned that his greatest fear was "not being loved" and the motherfucker did plastic surgery on his ass so his followers could "notice him" and he even fucked up because it's the time of troubles and magic is behaving weird and he, the god of murder amd fear, was freaking out lmao and he had to check a mirror to see if he looked ok, or if it was possible to reverse the shit he was doing to himself. The gods of DND are fun. I kinda think of them as "superheros" or to be specific, human beings forced to fulfill an architype or a function of the universe and with it, powers only they can contain, and are "gods" in a sense. This is kinda proven true since bane was originally a human who was given powers from the "god" of death who was bored and wanted others to do his job. (they are kinda like greek gods too) Lord Ao is bitch though for letting those fuckers run rampant and cause all that trouble.
I'm pissed because there's a book i read and for the life of me, i can't remember the name.
I bought a schoolastic book on a whim, for 5 cents thinking it would be worth a laugh or something but no, it was actually really fucking good.
The whole earth was flooded, only a few people are living at the top on a shitty floating city, the rest of humanity died out and the people below are living because they fucked with their genetics to survive, It was a real story with good writing. Another book i found on a whim that was also pretty damn good was Code Orange, a dude in collages was studying diseases and he got an old book out of curiosity, and in a sleeve was old scabs that had an old severe version of small poxs and he gets infected, and after damn near killing himself out of shame and fear he gets kidnapped by a bioterrorist group and shit gets out of hand from there on.
>>4683
Was the flood like a weird bullshit fog that kills people? I read a book with that concept. The main character is like a scavenger type who dives into the killer fog and grabs shit from old homes. The fog ends up being a cloud of nanomachines and the MC is the chosen one who's able to idk communicate with them somehow. The villain's goal is to use a nuke made out of diamonds to destroy the macguffin that will make the fog recede, since he's king of the trash heap and doesn't want things to get better.
>>4693
It was all water, tons of it to the point where there was no mountains left uncovered in water, the people that survived either escaped in subs, or on boats, or climbed mountains
Over the last few years, my video game backlog has become bigger and bigger to the point that I don't know if I'll ever run out of games to play. People of working age seem to experience more game backlogs for a variety of reasons. In this thread, we will document our progress in whatever game we are playing. In this thread, we will be encouraged to finish games that we have already started. Your updates don't have to be much just do them to encourage yourself. I'll start. Recently I've started the Square Enix RPG Live a Live. Initially, I chose to play as a ninja character. I like fighting everyone I can. Usually, I poison the character and allow the enemy to die from a distance. The campaign has more to offer, but so far it's been fun.107 replies (and 40 file replies) omitted. Click here to view.

It's funny because it's pretty much a walking simulator but the writing is so damn good.
>>1239
I made it to chapter three, the story is getting more intense and the little minigames, more fun. Laughed because at one point i was working on a little puzzle and i was wondering why the hell the minigame wasn't over and it wanted me to "flip the puzzle over, so i pressed all the buttons, flicked the pen, and the bumpers so i damn near rage quit, but after opening and closing the ds system, it flipped the puzzle over which is pretty fucking clever if you ask me. Good shit over all.
>>1234
The hospital sequence is fucking thrilling, my favorite part is when your stuck in a parking garage with one of those fuckers and you have to walk around and hopfully avoid it, lol at one point i was kinda walking behind it and at the last second turned in another direction. The first time i died, i was walking down a hospital corridor and the fucker appeared out of nowhere and was walking IN MY DIRECTION so i was like: fuck this but he started following me and caught up and killed me. Tried again, theres a room nearby where you can hide for a few minutes so he can leave, then you can keep on going. Glad to make progress and atleast the game isnt utter trash so far.
>>1245
If i have to say anything about the story, it's fine. Some people where bitching about the death scene, but honestly i don't know. It doesn't seem too retarded, her leg got stuck in the tree trunk, (which made a loud noise) what was she supposed to do? The alien heard her and was going to go in for the kill, how was the death of a certian character her fault exactly? (her leg literally broke through the rotten wood, its the trees fault) yeah she dropped the inhaler but again that was after and she was already fucked to begin with. If anything, the second her leg got stuck and the loud noise was made because of it, the boyfriend should have gotten a rock or something and threw it at a car or really anything and fucking wait for fuck knows how long for the alien to leave. Of cource that's not what happened but thats the only solution for it. I'm also curious as to how the alien broke in the hospital, i mean they've been living in there for god knows how long, and the alien just broke in? Did someone fuck up outside and attract its attention or something?
>>1246
I had a feeling in my gut that something in the game would piss me off, and it happened.
A character is a ranger, the mother of the boyfriend character, martin. anyhow the girlfriend sees a gun in the rangers car and is spooked, then later eventually heads to the attic of the house with martin and the girlfriend freaks out when she sees the rangers gun collection "GUNS ARE LIKE BAD AND SCARY" I mean jesus christ what the fuck is the god damn problem here, like wow she has like 6 guns big whoop and she's a fuckin ranger what do you think she does with that shit? Fuckin population control when there's too much deer and shit.
Besides that, another thing that confused me is that the girlfriend character is given a handheld ham to communicate with another character but i'll be honest i think theres thousand of shit that can go wrong here, one of them is getting your ass curbstomped by a fucking alien. I own one, and you can have a little headset to connect to one, but she doesn't have a headset so how the fuck is she going to survive after he tells her whatever fucking instructions?
Still fun i guess, had another cool scene where i had to run around with the alien at my tail, throwing objects and shit to distract it. Funny moment happened when i climbed in a log cabin and he broke down the main door like the coolaid man and then walked off like if he didn't care.

I just got a memory of this old fucking mcdonalds cartoon that used to air on tv, (that had weird vibes) and was on VHS. Not only that but i remember this fucking Chuck e cheeses movie about an intergalactic race, i remember for whatever reason it had dark vibes to it and weird shit like chuck falling in love with some chick but he realised she was only in it for the prize money and, i am pretty sure Helen Henny is kidnapped by a dude who sounds like arnold swartzenegger, and i think he like verbally, sexually assaults her with shit like her being a "hot chick" and then there's some faggy song and dance sequence

In this thread, we will discuss the woes of wagecucking. What I mean by a wagecuck job is a dead-end job where there is little potential for advancement in the job, accumulating wealth, or in one's life. I might get out of the crappy job I am in and you'll know that when the thread dies off. After that, it will be for any anon who can relate to the state I am in right now. What I have to say about wagecucking now is management is getting really entitled and it is getting on my nerves. My direct superior on certain days wants me to work an extra hour and I told him directly I couldn't do that. What I am trying to do with this thread is inspire myself and others to find a better job than what they currently have.77 replies (and 7 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)
I had a mishap at the office this week. My regular car was in the shop and that meant I was missing my ID. I realized that this might be a problem when getting into the hotel. I tried to go up to another floor hoping that it wouldn't need an ID but this was to no avail. I had to verify my ID to the security guard and in response, the guard threatened to fine me if I forgot my ID again. This is the second time I forgot my ID. This was a case of the security guard being a power-tripping normalfag. It annoyed me because this is part of his job description and he was acting like I was such a burden. This is likely a nothing burger but people annoy me sometimes.
Work has been making me feel more tired than usual. I think it is all the communications I have to do. Normalfags make me sleepy.
Work has hit me on the back of my head. Not anything related to the work itself, but it turns out I owe my employer money. This is disheartening because the way they set up the reimbursement was that they are withholding a certain percentage of my check for the next two months. This situation is making me angry but there is nothing I can do other than grin and bare it. This was their mistake but I am paying the price. I hate when I get stuck in the crossfire.

I am look at the next paycheck and the amount being taken out is a big hit to my spending and saving. To make best of this bad situation I think I shouldn't worry as much about my savings goal. This situation is basically an emergency. I should strive to save as much money as possible without punishing myself. I should try to keep my life as normal as possible in this situation.
I had to work unpaid overtime and it is a real pain because my time is spent for nothing besides keeping my job.

Oh yeah that reminds me I tried to look up Jim Watkins on the Japanese internet and posted about it to someone in DMs so I'll just repost it here:
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ジム・ワトキンス
User Reactions and Popularity:
Initially, Jim was popular among users of the Kenmou board (嫌儲板) and other communities opposed to affiliate blogs.
He allocated dedicated servers for active boards like Nandemo Jikkyou J (NanJ) and VIP, which helped him gain support from many 2channel users.
Conversely, users who relied on affiliate blogs as news sources or ran such blogs themselves voiced strong opposition.
Shift in Popularity:
Jim frequently communicated with users on the Kenmou board, sometimes even changing the username field to "I am not Abe" (a political statement criticizing the Abe administration).
However, his reputation declined due to:
Inability to effectively counter 2ch.sc (Hiroyuki's rival site).
Partnership with the Jane Style developer (a widely criticized 2channel browser) to monetize ads.
Monetization changes in Ronin Membership, despite initially gaining popularity for offering free access to past logs.
He occasionally posts humorous comments like "Warota" (an internet slang meaning "LOL" in Japanese), prompting the typical user response: "Nani waroten nen" ("What's so funny?").
Comments:
"This Jim guy is the embodiment of resentment among the lowest of white society. His looks aren't great, and after retiring from the military, he got involved in pornography, leading a rather unimpressive life. This turned him towards white supremacy, and now he's contributed to the rise of terrorist groups like QAnon, causing division in America.
What's more amazing is that if it weren't for both Jim and Hiroyuki, the current division in America might not have happened. These two will go down in history... for all the wrong reasons."
"Isn't he considered 'poor white'? How can we help people in that situation? Maybe job placement programs?"
"This place has become an outdated dump full of society's rejects. Errors like 'Please take this elsewhere' keep popping up, and I can't post properly.
5ch is really done for this time. With stronger measures against defamation, maybe this site should just be shut down.
And to those complaining about not being able to see past logs – if you have that much free time, go to Hello Work (job center) and get a job."
"This is the worst mismanagement ever. It was already declining under Hiroyuki, but this guy has accelerated the decline at an unprecedented rate.
Instead of attracting users by improving the site, he just keeps adding more ads, driving users away even more.
It’s a vicious cycle. This place is a disaster."
"Instead of banning trolls, they boast about their tolerance for gore.
Admins here are seriously out of touch."
"I skimmed through the comments, and yeah, his reputation is pretty bad.
Like someone else said, he has zero willingness to listen to user feedback.
It's doomed."
"There’s a lot of hate against the new American admin, but blindly worshiping Hiroyuki, who also messed up plenty of times, doesn’t make sense either."
https://note.com/mitsuwo_virgil/n/n82c50a14dc3c
"The one who destroyed ASCII art culture on 2ch (5ch).
I wish he were dead."
"I hate this guy too, but he's not solely responsible for the decline of ASCII art.
The rise of smartphones, changes in browser font settings, and the rise of copyright awareness contributed more to its decline."
"I'm the reason Yukkuri became the 5ch mascot.
I sincerely apologize to all Yukkuri fans and MR** Sensei, except for JIM and those lunatics from Anajitsu and Ai boards.
Everything I get obsessed with ends up becoming a joke and decaying afterwards.
It’s like I’ve been cursed with bad luck."
"Is his wife connected to the Korean Peninsula?
Man, both this guy and Hiroyuki are two sides of the same coin... lol"
"Same with NicoNico — why do the admins keep changing the UI when people just come to see the content?
No one asked for these changes."
"He hijacked 2ch, implemented the forced ID feature (ワッチョイ), and then made it so you have to pay to hide it.
Seriously, Jim is the worst.
Isn’t this criminal behavior?"
"This guy hijacked 2ch, made a bunch of changes, and eventually killed it.
Now, when you access 2ch, you’re forced to go to 5ch.
Most people can’t even post unless they mess with their settings.
Honestly, moving to Open2ch, which was created with the previous admin’s permission, is the best way to use it like before.

Someone also posted an entire time-line of events what happened after Jim Watkin's takeover but it might get confusing with the MTL translation.
I found the Yoshinoya Copypasta that was originally popular on 2channel on 4-ch lol
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/吉野家コピペ
>Originally, it came from the personal diary of a user with the pen name Shinbaku (新爆), posted on his personal blog on April 7, 2001.
>Due to how easily it could be remixed, it quickly migrated to 2channel (2ch) where it exploded in popularity
Yesterday, I went to the Yoshinoya near my house.
But for some reason, it was insanely crowded. I couldn’t find a seat at all.
When I looked around, I noticed they had a banner hanging that said “150 yen off” or something.
Like… seriously, what is wrong with people? Are you all idiots?
You don’t normally even come to Yoshinoya, and now you show up just because it’s 150 yen cheaper? Give me a break.
It’s 150 yen. Just 150 yen.
There were even families there. A family of four, all going to Yoshinoya. Congratulations, I guess.
And then the dad’s like, “Alright, I’m getting the extra-large!” or something. I couldn’t watch anymore.
I wanted to say, “I’ll give you the 150 yen, just let me have your seat.”
Yoshinoya’s supposed to have more of an intense atmosphere, you know?
Like, you sit across from some stranger at a U-shaped counter, and it wouldn’t be surprising if a fight broke out at any moment.
That kind of “stab or be stabbed” tension is what gives it flavor.
Women and children should stay out of it.
So I finally manage to get a seat, and then the guy next to me says, “I’ll have a large with extra sauce.”
At that point, I just got pissed all over again.
Who even orders extra sauce these days?
And he said it like he was really proud of himself, too.
I wanted to ask him, “Do you really want extra sauce? Or did you just want to say the word?”
I wanted to grill him for like an hour.
I mean seriously, aren’t you just saying it because it sounds cool?
If you ask me — someone who actually knows his way around Yoshinoya — the current trend among regulars is definitely extra green onions.
This is it: a large bowl with extra onions and a raw egg.
That’s what people in the know are ordering.
They add more onions, and cut back on the meat. That’s how it works.
Top it off with a raw egg. That’s the strongest combo.
But if you keep ordering that, there’s a risk the staff will start to remember you. It’s a double-edged sword.
Not something I’d recommend for beginners.
Honestly, you amateurs should just stick with the beef-and-salmon set meal or something.
