  • I actually became friends with one of my best friends through making puns on his name for several days until he heard a bunch of new ones. Its been 7 years and I was a groomsmen at his wedding last year. Wild to imagine this is how I make friends. My other best friend I made by picking them up as a hitchhiker.

    These are probably exceptions to the rule though.


  • I just had my halfling bard/rogue die from a fist bump.

    Homebrew ofc, but one character got gauntlets that on hit had a 1% chance for insta-kill (percentile die). Upon entering boss fight they fist bump my character and the DM tells him to roll. Gets a MF 100 and turns my Lil guy to ash. It was amazing and hilarious.





  • I work for a well known (international) business in the USA that used to be known for it’s good benefits. Man are they ass now. 14 days a yr, 21 after 5 years, and could work your way up to 6 weeks at 30yrs. no lunch break, no pension, and some expensive health insurance that covers nothing. Now it used to be 21 starting 28 after 5 yrs, a pension and a lunch break, with some impressive healthcare. And they took away the upper limit of vacation you could get to be 4? IIRC After 30 years. (So 1 extra week after 5 years, then one more after another 25).

    The pay is fine but no nearly what it used to be. It used to be $10+ over the competition, now it’s barely $1. They are hurting to hire because of it too
