    I own 5 guitars, and gave one away. Have had 2 amps, a little fender practice amp and a bigger marshall amp.

    Been playing for 30 years or so( purely as a hobby and not with much intent to master it)

    Ive probably spent less than 3000 CDN as much of it was gifted or family handme downs/family rates.

    My eldest brother, definately spent more than 10k on his music habbit (thanks for old gear bro!)








  • You go do the work, and enjoy some books while you do it.

    Go read a few ravenloft, forgotten realms, dragonlance, or other dnd series

    Go read some raymond e feist riftwar/magician books.

    Go read a dozen palladium Rifts worldbooks

    Just read any large fantasy franchise and you find any number of disabled characters

    Damn near every healing spell in a fantasy ttrp will have a ruling on not being able to heal natural conditions such as blindness or simply that it straight up wont restore lost limbs

    Im sure catti bri and drizzt ran into a few pirates and sailors with missing limbs

    Or are you going to tell me theres no peg legs in fantasy?

    No old heroes who cant fight anymore because they lost a limb

    Ita inaccurate because most fantasy worlds that ive read dont have mid to high level healers in every square km of their worlds



  • I disagree in that people mean different things when they say “i could care less” and “i couldnt care less”

    “I couldnt care less” is pretty self contained and unambiguous when i hear people use it but “i could care less” not so much.

    My experience being my own, i could very well be mistaken though.

    So i think “its raining cats and dogs” is not a fair comparison. Perhaps its simply too soon and it will become as settled in the future…when enough people just give up on using it. Will wait and see

    !remind me 10 years


  • What are you on about mate? No one suggested letting people organize themselves, you control by allowing the seats you want to load first. Airlines already load specific sections at a time.

    If seats A and F are window seats just load that way and also load by zone, back of plane first makes most sense(depending if theres more than one door on the plane or not, most are at front because of how planes park at a gate)

    They already know who is travelling together so they can choose to let whatever seats they want first. Like load an entire group if they are taking up a whole row.

    Just seems like they do priority boarding as way to increase ticket price, but the actual boarding process often seems badly designed


  • I feel people just being lazy yet again. Not sure why its such a sin to be precise when speaking/communicating.

    Like how often is something that causes a problem turns out to be a simple misunderstanding.

    I think phrase “i could care less” is supposed to have an “as if” in front of it. It started making a lot more sense to me when i started thinking people forgot about the beginning of the phrase.

    “I could care less…” Still works if used the correct way ie "I could care less about this, so maybe stop making this so difficult?”

    Suppose you could even use it kinda of threateningly, like the Darth Vader line, “pray i do not alter it any further”




  • Ahhhh okay thanks friend!

    Edit: interesting wiki on it!

    Sojourn continued until 1996, when a difference in creative vision among the staff led to the project being forked into TorilMUD and Duris: Land of Bloodlust. Of the two, TorilMUD is regarded as the more direct inheritor of Sojourn’s legacy. Toril continued until 1998, when it became Sojourn 2, and underwent another rebirth in 2001 as Sojourn 3. Kris retired in 2003, and Sojourn 3 was reborn as TorilMUD, or as the old-time players refer to it, Toril 2. Throughout these rebirths, the areas and code continued to grow: there are currently 300 zones (with several more nearing completion), 16277 types of monsters/mobs, and 13753 different items.

    Many TorilMUD staff members were staff on Sojourn 3, Sojourn 2, and some are even from Toril 1, providing a degree of continuity. All Toril staff started as players on the MUD, giving them a great deal of personal experience with the game.
