Last week, my players struggled against rust monsters and an erynies, so I just asked in group chat "How many rust monster/erynies hybrids am I throwing at you guys tonight?" Quickly, one responded "-12". I said "Twelve? That's exactly what I was thinking!" They fired back with "You missed the minus sign in front." To which I said "I am a math Sith. I only deal in absolute values."

How realistic is Call of Duty WW2? Realistic enough that I have yet to survive the initial beech invasion of the game. After trying to (occasionally) for a year and a half.
I beat that level pretty easily, but I think much difficulty wasn't that high. I should try it on something much tougher.

I have it on normal difficulty. I get about five feet from the sea wall and that's as far as I've gotten. Doesn't matter how I do it.

Tell them it could be worse. You could be coordinating an inversion of the imaginary. How can they slay that which only exists conceptually? Your swords are useless against negatives' roots!

We have the house!
From viewing to winning the auction in under a week - disorientatingly quick, with the additional hiccup of the stand-in mortgage broker not knowing what she was talking about and nearly mucking the whole thing up...
Also, it is nice to know that I am not a Politically Exposed Person.

And the Far Cry 6 crashed for the second time. In this case the culprit was a helicopter. I have probably forgot to put on hearing protection when I was entering as it froze immediately after.
I've had it crash a few times. Once after I totally kicked this enemy compound's ass and had to redo it to less than optimal results.

Hopefully it comes with one of those Irish Springs I keep hearing about and you don't have to keep paying for soap like a peasant.

Thankfully, that crash was AFTER I captured the base and decided to leave it in the chopper that was on the helipad.

At tonight's game, the Paladin was turned to stone by a Medusa Beheaded just before it was killed. The rest of the party immediately shouted "Quick! Draw dicks on his face before he turns back!!" And so they spent 4 rounds drawing on his face. When he turned back, he said "Man, I sure am glad that you guys aren't the type to draw dicks on my face while I was stone. Otherwise I'd have to kill you all in your sleep." Most of the party just turned away from him, but the Barbarian rolled a Nat 20 on his Bluff (for a total of 18) to tell the Paladin that they would never do that. The Paladin then rolled Sense Motive. Nat 2, for an 8 total. So now the Rogue is trying to make sure that the Paladin doesn't catch their reflection in a mirror and know what happened.

Oh. I thought you meant *actual* chorizo, as you had said you bought groceries.
I *was* surprised you were able to buy it in Poland, but what else is a "global economy" for?Freehold DM |

Spanish, Italian, and Greek products are not hard to get in Poland since we joined European Union.
I rarely buy chorizo because cleaning my teeth afterwards is a real bother, though. The pieces of some kinds of sausages seem to love to get stuck between my teeth.

It is also the most adorable animal companion in all video games.
I don't use him as often because I use a LOT of explosives and those are better with a rage filled rooster that tries to bite you every time you try petting it.

Chicharron is not happy with this. You should not be happy with this.

But... but the chest detection?!
Though I get not wanting Chorizo anywhere near enemies when I am blasting them away. I bought a revolver grenade launcher after my first (and only) special operation and it is my main weapon when I need to explode someone thing. Sticky grenades are nice but I can carry only 3 of them, and dynamite sticks tend to bounce off and end not where I want them. I really should use my Supremo more often.
I finished Chorizo first leveling (distract 10 enemies with Chorizo overwhelming cuteness, kill them from behind), saving a hostage in the process, the second ability immediately kicked in and shown me a chest with an unique bow a few dozen meters away from us...
And now I am near finishing the second achievement (detect 36 chests). I ended sneaking into the capital to get better weapons (including a wonderful carbine/assault rifle from a guaranteed chest. Also got an SKS from a (possibly) random chest.
It wasn't really planned on my side, but I accidentally freed the cathedral and now I have a base within the capital.

I got the Chicken, though the third mission was a lot of hassle.
The first one was simple - enter an arena where vicious dogs are trained and kill them all.
Second one was fine - enter a bureau and fight waves and waves of enemies until the chicken is satisfied (and destroys files). The enemies had the decency to spawn sensibly in lifts and run out of them...
The third one was fight waves of enemies in a park with a lot of open space, with only a barebone hedges and some bushes around to take cover. And the enemies spawned just a few dozens meters away from you out of thin air.
The ridiculous enemy spawning around you if you fought them aggressively was making a huge difference in the quality of the fight.

I like to hide behind the monument he's defacing in the third mission.
Also if you help him destroy the files the second one goes a lot faster.

On the one hand, I recognize the echoes of hypocrisy: Complaining about someone else complaining about parking.
On the other hand,
(1) I don't complain loudly in public, and
(2) I don't complain about the lack of parking in someone else's neighborhood.
So yeah, a guy was walking with a friend down the street, and as he was passing he commented, "Yeah, for some reason there's never any parking on this side of the block for at least the first 2/3 of the block."
He saw me working in my garage and gave me a hard glare.
He's NOT a resident of this block. So he's a visitor complaining about our parking and glaring at our residents.
At which point I should be legally allowed to throw a half-brick at him.
Once he speeds, blocks a local driveway, or honks his horn, he gets upgraded to a full-size brick.
EDIT: What really amuses me about the whole thing is that Impus Major took the car to Santa Cruz a couple of hours ago, so the guy's complaining about other people being parked in front of my house. That's MY job!
Now I have to go plant some onions...

On the other hand, I admire the gutty honesty of some companies. I just got the thermal compound so I can replace the cooler in Shiro's God Box, and in big letters it says, "97% customer satisfaction!!!"
It's thermal compound, not a throw rug.
Who can possibly not be satisfied with thermal compound?
But at least they're honest.
EDIT: Aaand, there goes my brain. I thought of Freehold and thought, "This thermal compound did nothing for my sex life! Totally dissatisfied!" and the 97% suddenly makes sense...
