Glares at layer of snow/ice still covering the ground.
Eventually it'll either melt or I'll develop heat vision through sheer force of will.
The ice and snow are there for building upon.
No need to thank me.
That only works if you're building with ice and snow.

He seems to be super-busy these days?
But I don't know! I should ask.

Dis-cord?... Stares at extension cord suspiciously, wondering how long Orthos has been in there.

Only if there's a Portillo's nearby. After getting it back near me after a decade of being deprived, I'm firmly addicted again. Can't do it ALL the time, but a beef and cheddar (not the croissant,) with hot peppers, cheese fries and a large coke. That's my default!
Beef & char-grilled sausage combo.
Now I want to make a trip to Chicago.

{googles Portillo's} Oooo, that looks yummy.
{clicks location} Ouch. I'm not driving 130+ miles to Brandon, FL though.

When I die, I want to be cremated from the neck down. My head shall be mounted on a stick. If you want to speak during the funeral, you will have wait until it is your turn to hold my head stick.
After the funeral, I'm absconding with your head stick to Vegas. I'm gonna track down racist douchebag Jeff Dunham, rush the stage during his act, and beat him with your mummified/zombiefied head.

Attach a string to his jaw and run around biting people with it.

I think I've mentioned it, but I've made the kids promise to cremate me and then have an ash fight with me at my memorial service.
They could rent Catholic priest costumes, stand in a parking lot on the first day of Lent, and let people drive-up to have their foreheads anointed with you.

OK. This one is beyond me.
Due to increased demand on <Global Megacorporations>’s network, some audio and video streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, have been temporarily blocked.
I've been working from home for 15 years now, and can honestly say I've never watched Netflix, Hulu, nor Disney+ while at work. Especially on the corporate network.

I've never known a corporate network of that size (and I spent 11 years at one of the nation's leading insurance companies) that would have allowed streaming services like those in the first place.

I've been to Brandon, FL. I don't know of a good enough reason to go there. I think the biggest attraction I saw was a flea market. You'd think there'd be something more since it's a suburb of Tampa, but no, you'd be wrong.

I want a Viking funeral. Put me on a pyre on a boat at sunset, fire a flaming arrow into it.
Aiymi says she'd absolutely do it if it weren't for something about legality issues.
I say they don't need to know.
I like this idea. My only suggestion would be that you pick some as!hole millionaire's yacht as your pyre.

your remains could have met a more dignified end if you allowed room parties.

I would rather spend a considerable amount of gold to cast true resurrection on you.

In the event of my death, I am to be cremated and my ashes are to be scattered at the life size Gundam in Japan.
Extra points if part of my ashes can be spread in Akibahara and a third part at soapland.
If none of this is likely, they are to be scattered in Chinatown in NY/ with a smaller portion spread at The Compleat Strategist.

Tonight's game didn't go so great. Regular GM wasn't feeling great (He was checking traps/bait stations at a grain silo, and thinks he inhaled some grain dust or something. Said he couldn't talk for more than a few seconds at a time.), so I ran another one-shot. It started okay, the PCs got through the long poisoned tunnel without losing too much CON (around 9 total points lost between the 5 PCs), then they found the hidden coffins to foreshadow the vampires (they didn't take the hint, though). Next, they did find the hidden safe, but the rogue missed the DC to find the trap by 1, so they got hit with that (DC 20 Reflex save, 5d6 acid if they failed, 1d6 if they passed). Two characters failed, taking 20 points, the others only took 1. Then they met the vampires, who were pretending to be prisoners. I tried Dominating two of them, but they passed their saves. I told them they felt the baddies try and control them, but neither bothered to mention it to anyone else. So they decided to just leave the vamps behind, and as the ranger was the last one out the room, I tried one last domination. He failed the save, and came back to get hickeys from one of the vamps (taking 2 negative levels, heh heh). The rest of the party noticed he wasn't with them, and looked back to see him getting drained. So, they start the fight. Cue 90 minutes of me not being able to hit them, and them either missing or not breaking DR. I finally get a couple of good hits in, including 2 negative levels to the cleric, and they decide to run away. The cleric is last out (due to initiative order), and one of the vamps managed to grapple him. So, the party comes back (again) to try and save the cleric. The vamp fumbled her attempt to maintain the grapple, and the party ran the f&&~ away. At this point, it was only 5 minutes before we usually stop, and they party was running, so we just did checks to make sure no one died in the poison tunnel on the way out (no one did), and ended it. They never even got to the boss fight, which was supposed to be a vrock. Instead, they decided to go back to the town where they got the adventure hook and tell them to just move away because the tower was "full of vampires and demons". It was not a particularly fun night. There were definitely good moments, but the overall experience was not positive.

That stuff is no joke. Please encourage him to get checked out.
