"Dad's a baaaad mutha_"
"Shut your mouth!"
"I'm talkin' about Dad!"
"And we can dig it!"

I've resisted the urge to enter a thread asking for "character ideas", but is really asking for build ideas. Specifically, when everyone is offering class/feat/trait ideas, I'm resisting the urge to post things like:
- "a halfling trying to solve his uncle's murder!"
- "a peasant who wants to find fame and fortune as a dancer!"
- "a pious caravan guard with a third nipple!"
I feel like the mods should tell me that I've done a good job because I'm not trolling.

Getting a "good job" for NOT doing something?
Sounds like my theory of Moral Kudos. It goes a little like this:
I'm not a bank robber. I have no idea how one would even rob a bank successfully. Therefore, when I walk by a bank, I don't even think about robbing it. Now this is not something I should get ethical credit for. I don't sit around thinking "I was a good person today, I didn't rob any banks."
However, someone who's robbed a bunch of banks and knows exactly what it would take to knock over their local branch... when they walk by a bank and don't rob it, that takes effort. They should get ethical credit... or, as I call it, moral kudos.
Similiarly, there are SO MANY THINGS I think of saying that I do not say. Things that would never even occur to a normal person. And yet somehow, I don't get moral kudos for all the times I DON'T say those things... it's just not fair.
My wife and I have turned this into a thing. When we're out someplace and somebody is just BEGGING for a withering snarky comment, I just mutter "moral kudos" and she nods. My ethical fortitude has been noted.
I like this standard, because by it, I'm basically Gandhi Jesus.

Maybe the mods can also thank quibblemuch for not robbing a bank today.

Not to brag or anything, but I'm sure some dads got either an all black stainless steel flatware set or "The Epic of Gilgamesh" in the original Klingon, but I betcha I'm the only one you know to get BOTH! My family rawks.

I officially did not rob a bank yesterday.
I completely failed at keeping my mouth shut in a professional setting, so that probably cancelled out the non-bank robbing aspect of my moral superiority.

I hate builds.
So much.
But my experience with them have been primarily negative.

I thought you just ate people that offended you to keep the survivors in line.

Are you complaining or bragging?

Well, how are we supposed to eat the offenders if we keep our mouths maws shut?

"The Chinese use the same word for complaining and bragging."
"Yes. Complagging."
I hate builds.
So much.
Like, you hate involved discussions about character builds? Or you hate worrying about your own character's build? Or both? Something else?

Discussions about builds. But that's because I remain upset with Paizos direction with respect to the nuts and bolts of gaming, which may or may not have to do with their needing to keep sales up to keep the lights on and other decisions that are simply good business at the time that lead to questionable gaming.
Fair. If your complaints pertain to power creep and the lack of distinction between many options, we probably agree quite a bit.

Today is a black day for multiple reasons. But the personal reason is that last night, our housemate's chihuahua passed away. Which is terrible, but even worse, he's currently in Georgia for an engineering school, with his final test next week before he comes home. Having to call and let him know and decide how to proceed with her final disposition is more terrible than can be described.
My deepest condolences on all fronts.

Oh no. I'm so, so sorry. My heart breaks for everyone involved.

That's icky. I'll take six, please.
Few things make me more full of absolute rage than the cost of car repairs (America's scavenger-controlled healthcare system is ahead of it, but not by much). My car died tonight. It's 90% likely to be the alternator. Not cheap and I can't replace it myself so MOAR money will have to be paid to the mechanic. This is all on top of what happened on "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" today. I was not emotionally prepared for that. I wasn't emotionally prepared for any of this. I'm now listening to my anger management playlists on Spotify and screaming myself hoarse.
Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.
I didn't fall asleep until 9 am and I'm running a fever. The last check I did a few moments ago it was 101.1°F (that's 38.9°C for the civilized world). If it persists until bedtime, I'll take a COVID test.

Thanks! My first time with it was just five weeks of nonstop fever and general icky feeling. Hopefully this will be about the same.

here's hoping the case is mild and you are able to take serious time off and rest. Please hydrate as much as you can.

Thanks! So far it's only been a tad more of a bother than last time, which was just a nonstop fever with headaches for five solid weeks. I'm having the fever again, but this time there's a sore throat some mornings, headaches, fatigue, and some of the brain fog people have mentioned. I don't work or have anything going on like that, so that's not a problem, thank goodness!

I just finished counting and looking for missing dice. I have 951 dice. That's down 4 from the last count. Since 1985 I can reliably say I've only lost about 16 dice.
I don't have a problem. Really. Reeeeealllyyy....

Yeah, it is. Too many, I guess. But since I can't afford the vinyl LP habit anymore I buy dice. Up until last week I'd been on a self-imposed embargo and haven't bought any in a year and a half, then someone sent me an electronic gift card to d20collective.com. Now I'm a junkie all over again.
