The more I hear about Nauru, the more it feels like a made-up place. Most of the wealth of the nation came from mining bird poo for phosphates.

Yikes. That made me think of the "let Jesus fuck you" scene from The Exorcist. So thanks for that horrifying idea.

This is the reason I treat Reddit as read only nowadays, just in case.

That said, here is not perfect. I have been banned from four communities on ttrpg.network for, from what I can tell, liking a plausible-looking post that turned out to be a bot.

Personally, I like games where you start as a relative nobody and have to claw your way to success. I enjoy how in Kenshi you start having the snot beaten out of you by absolutely everything, but can eventually have the skills and equipment to be taking out whole factions.

You are right about the lack of support though. I think the intention is to play to fail and learn from mistakes, but it's a harsh lesson when you wander into a new area only to be knocked out and imprisoned by cannibals. I don't have the fortitude to keep failing, so end up just using the wiki at times.

I think this guy needs to consider the difference between invisible and intangible.

If I pay for an invisible hotdog, I still expect it to taste delicious.

My warlock was a dandy with a fey patron who would buy a new outfit whenever he had a chance to spend money. It was a fun character.

The FBI calls in its crack paranormal investigation team. The team consists of four plucky detectives and their dog. The dog is not forensically trained in any useful way, but is more of an emotional support animal for one of the team that struggles with addiction. It also talks to a limited extent.

The team investigates a haunting; revealing in a twist ending that it was the janitor in a costume all along.

This is mine too. It's a cute, fun movie. Yes completely over-the-top stupid, but that's part of the enjoyment. I think a reason I liked it when everyone else seemed to hate it was that I didn't have a Nintendo as a kid, so I wasn't saddled with an expectation of what Mario should be.

Autism as a diagnosis is relatively new, but people would have always had traits that would be thought of as nowadays as autistic. As an example, Rube Waddell was a professional baseballer in 1897 who was so fascinated by firetrucks that he would run off the field mid-game to chase them.

Mine is similar. A barrister once told me that you should be nervous before an important event like an interview or court appearance. If you aren't, all it means is that you aren't taking it seriously.
