I just suggested a more neutral expression, for future use. That expression doesn’t have an equivalent in my language but I understood your words. Carrying around bagage of that sort just weighs us down; I went through a similar situation in my life and it was not pleasant.
How about a good enough cook? Because knowing how to cook without trashing the kitchen in process is a feat worthy of respect. Took me a few years to achieve.
Can you guess what is the basic flaw for me in AD&D, which eventually led me to walk away from it? How the game builds up expectations for the player.
The average person just flips open a player’s book, a monster manual or some other tome on the game lore and instantly the person thinks their character will be, from the start, like the model characters they’re reading upon, which they never will or even can be, as the game does not permit it, in my understanding and experience.
As a player, it was extremely frustrating to handle DMs that expected a newbie mage/ranger/fighter/whatever to take risks as if they were seasoned veterans and had high capabilities from the start. That is nonsense.
No class in AD&D is (or was; I speak from years of distance) capable of great feats from the get go, as the way the characters are built forces a level 0/1 into basically discarding any capabilities a trained individual into a specific profession would already have. It would be better to just say the characters are slightly above average commoners.
As a DM, I was quick to get fed up with players that wanted to pull stunts that would be barely feaseable to high level characters/professionals, regardless me going through the basics as I did above.
People are idiots but the game was set up by morons and others just tried to build on top of it to improve it, with mixed results at best.
Yes, please. Let’s do that.
Where is the loop hole? Emancipation?
That’s the role of the de facto union. But the civil union usually grants you special conditions, along with your spouse.
Of all things, that would be the least dangerous of all to suggest.
OP, this should be, at least, a weekly rally, to boost the morale of the warriors. For the glory of the Empire!
Glory to their house, for the dedication to their cause!
I provided myself with sustenance to face the rest of my work day… FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
Glory to your house! There is force to be found seeking allies!
I can accept when it about messing with the installation but a lightbulb? Those are made to be easy to replace. It’s a screw and a threaded socket, 95% of the case. Unless someone is purposefully trying to do something wrong, the risk close to none.
How do you rotate a cat? What does it imply? Because the first association in my mind was akin to rotating the tyres on a car, to even out the wear. And that must be wrong.

I remember reading this article on how this group of flat earthers had pooled together to buy this incredibly expensive device, that had been laser calibrated. I think I recall being some sort of gyroscope that, if the planet was truly a sphere, would record on its inclination the degrees it would shift in order to maintain perfectly balance . The group had also did the math and they had reached a value that would be expected to be measured if the Earth was truly a sphere but it was immediatly rendered impossible because the device would never record such deviation as the Earth was flat.
Can you guess where this is going?
The device measured the exact figure the group had calculated. With no margin of error. And repeating the experiment only returned the exact same result. They had, by their own standard, reached proof the Earth was not flat.
Their conclusion?
The device had been sabotaged.
Somewhere, those have to be considered a crime against humanity.
I look at this and my brain just goes “soggy pickle slices and batter was not thick enough, nor did the slices spent enough time in it”.
So…
DO IT AGAIN!
Windows XP was the best OS ever. Then it was overtaken by any other alternative.
It’s expected. Right now, it is becoming a safe space for political dissidence. As sentiment pools and gathers mass, things tend to get towards the polar opposites and revolt breeds more revolt. Anything less than total agreement is viewed sideways.
Give me the option to build the biggest parking building physics allows for and the option to detonate it at will, at full capacity.
That would be entertaining. And if it was a hidden option, even better.
