Gonna be honest, I consider myself pretty into TTRPGs and even I don't know what the deal is with Pathfinder. I looked at it when the first edition came out and it seemed like "D&D 3.75" so I didn't see a reason to bother with it when I already had so many books for 3.x. I have heard the current edition is doing its own thing but haven't bought the book to see what that thing is.

We need more people like Chloe Freeman.

Freeman’s employer did not see it this way. When police questioned her (thus collaborating with ICE), she openly said that she disagreed with ICE separating immigrants from their families. Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. It is criminal that this and other hospital systems allow ICE and CBP agents to enter medical buildings.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. I am going really slowly and playing one chapter of each story at a time before switching to the next one. I like the map exploration aspect a lot.

I looked it up and the reasoning seems to have been that strychnine poisoning causes lethal, uncontrollable muscle spasms, so a very small dose might increase the strength or speed of muscle contractions in a way that improves athletic performance. They got the idea because it was sometimes used medically for the same reason, to try to treat heart conditions prior to the development of more effective treatments.

Obviously it didn't really work.

the strychnine was intended as a performance enchancer

It's four hours and showing in theaters? We have got to convince theater operators to bring back intermissions.

I mean, I'm the guy in the picture, but I'm not offended, I already know I'm terrible.

Do they look like the photo? I like the bulky frames look, myself. My (non-smart) glasses are rounder but similarly large.

I agree, it's not on her to withdraw herself from the competition. I don't think she owes an apology. If she won, she won. If it was unsafe for the other competitors the judges should have pulled her out.

Did they learn their training techniques from the handbook?

Phantasy Star Online (with the broadband adapter, and also local co-op with a couple of my high school buddies), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (I had all A ranks!), Super Smash Bros. Melee (an especially big hit in college!), Soul Calibur II, Metroid Prime... there was some great stuff on the Gamecube!

But they didn't charge her with endangering him, that's a different thing.

Edit to add: And I suspect they didn't because he was, self evidently, not in danger. So I remain confused about why this became an entire affair.

 

Yes, this is a 4 hour long review of a hotel that's already closed.

 

UPDATE: Ahoyoo has confirmed that Trimming the Herbs was uploaded with TAS tools, meaning that The Last Dance was the final legitimate level all along! Congrats to kazeihinn on the Last First Clear! The journey continues in Super Mario Maker 2...

ORIGINAL POST:

Team 0% is attempting to clear every level in Super Mario Maker before the servers shut down on April 8. (New level uploads have been disabled since 2021, so there is no danger of new levels appearing at the last minute.) As of a few days ago, only a single level remains: Trimming the Herbs, uploaded in 2017 by Ahoyoo. (See also Ahoyoo's original upload video.)

The level is short but extremely precise, requiring Mario to use Bob-ombs to precisely remove Piranha Plants and collect coins while navigating a tight space filled with spikes. There have been over 200,000 attempts so far! If you have a Wii U and feel like you might be a Mario master, this is your opportunity to pick up the final First Clear in Super Mario Maker history.

 

Spoilers for the WyrmwayIn the room where you must demonstrate insight by striking down a representation of one of three writers, Amaps is represented as a tiefling:

Image of Amaps being a tiefling

However, the book he wrote clearly indicates that he was a halfling:

Image of book description that says Paul Amaps was a halfling

This is halfling erasure!

 

Sometimes I can tell when my current DM fudges a roll to miss an attack or reduce damage. He has a tell in the specific way he pauses and breathes before announcing the roll, then tries to hurry to the next turn, which only seems to happen when someone is in a life-or-death scenario, but "luckily" survives.

Should I let him know he has a tell? Will it be less fun (or more stressful) for him if he knows I know?
