See ya on the other side.

Ah, but they don’t know about the anti-wooden whistle wax I dipped my ribbon in!

Quick way to end up with Calvin-ball magic. “Oh, but the red ribbon disintegrates if I toot my wooden whistle, making it doubly weak to fire!”

The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS’d. It’ll smooth out.

It can vary. I haven’t been to many movies lately, but 25 minutes of ads was pretty standard at the chain cinemas with the popular movies. Smaller theaters and/or smaller movies could be as low as 10 minutes sometimes. Just gotta keep in mind the context and plan accordingly.

What’d Uncle Fester do to be associated with such trash?

I do this at un-reserved theaters too. Just gotta be more flexible with your seating. Unless the theater’s absolutely packed and you get stuck at the very front, most of the seats are going to give you a good experience. It’s what the theater’s designed for.

Just go in 20 minutes later? Been doing it for years at this point.

It’s the excuse. The root is greed and cruelty.

This is the more typical process, ime.

It’s not a competition and you’re being a jerk.

Stumbles ass first into giving creative control of their property to one of the most devoted and talented studios of the decade, leading to a wildly successful and popular game.

“That’s great! Let’s give it to someone else!” - some stupid ass exec who can only see ahead one financial quarter at a time.

The fact your seeking feedback suggests no, but it was certainly a bad move, both as a DM and as an uncle. Punishing anyone, though especially children, without explaining why is mean. You have a responsibility to clearly communicate problems with others as an authority figure at the table and in their life. I don’t necessarily think the punishment was unreasonable, but if it’s not explained to them, it just comes across as arbitrary and vindictive.

Imo, the best way to handle issues like that is to set the rules and consequences, making them clear to everyone, and to be consistent in their application. Letting people off or being vindictive will just exacerbate things.

If you’re bleeding before you even brush, go to the doctor 😬

I think they mean a map like this: https://files.catbox.moe/mpnsa8.png

and currently expect prices will remain the same

Surprising, but glad to see. Wonder how they’re swinging that.

While they’re right, they’re also surely using the same sorts of programs to generate content. They just care about their own IP.

No fucking shit.

“10 times bigger”? Based on what? I suppose “a gazillion times bigger” would be seen as absurd, though it’s just as useful of a “metric”.

Hah, I see. Thanks!
