I know two people whose deep freezes went out on them in the same week. Both lost hundreds of pounds of frozen food. One of my friends is an avid hunter and his was mostly full of meat. He said the smell was beyond horrendous. And later in the week, he was making buffalo wings for dinner and the oven door fell off. Then the pressure gauge on his instant pot went out. I think he just needs to give up.

Has he failed in making proper offerings to the god-spirits of his prey? Has he been disrespectful of those he consumed?
Was he wasteful in his hunts?!

He probably forgot to leave a saucer of fresh cream and a small loaf of bread on his windowsill at night to propitiate those tricksy pug-, er, domovoi.
And a small stack of unmarked bills, preferably $20s and smaller.
I would assume.

Pfft. Everybody knows domovoi prefer banana brandy and Red Bull. Or else I'll they'll break all your stuff.

Definitely don't give your domovoi Red Bull, they will go bonkers and hyperactive. They might like banana whatever, which would be find exotic, though some might be wary of foreign cuisine.

So, apparently the secret formula for repelling dudes in the supermarket is:
1) Wearing old non-tight jeans and comfy long-sleeve tee
2) Not wearing any makeup, hair just in ponytail
3) Crocs (really, this one should be enough all by itself)
4) Wearing a mask during a pandemic
5) Sweating because of mask and 87°F + high humidity muggy SWFL day
6) Also sweating because of currently un-medicated anxiety disorder and forced to shop in crowded supermarkets because of restricted hours
7) Also also slight trembling from aforementioned anxiety
It works so well, the bag boy* bagged only my frozen pizza, glanced at me, and then without a word immediately went six checkout lines away and started bagging there. (Female cashier didn't react any differently to me at all.) I bagged my own damn groceries.
* Rude little punk.

On the one hand, sucks you had to drag yourself through that.
On the other... I guess successful formula discovered?

I have a good friend who joined the Army a few years after college. We roomed together for a while before he left and he rented "Full Metal Jacket" and watched it repeatedly in order to get an idea what lay ahead for him in boot camp. I think he was surprised to find out boot was worse than depicted.

My boot camp nickname was Pyle. I had not seen the movie. Years later I got around to watching it...

I am unfortunately one of the unlucky few, as ice been still working this whole time. Thankfully I'm still going to be able to maintain minimum exposure, but the increased crowds will make it difficult. I'm not in a direct face to face customer industry, thank Tharizdun, or else I would probably be panicking more right now rather than just irked.

Last night, with two well-landed scryings, a couple teleports, and some dimension doors, my players completed the last third of an adventure path chapter in an hour.
They had just hit level 12. An hour later, they were 13. Bypassed 9 combat encounters. Sure, they don’t get the loot, but they’re built to travel light and not depend on stuff.
One. Hour.
Isolation has made them smarter. Crap.

Jibbers Crabst.
The cat just started projectile vomiting. The dog ran over to help. The cat interpreted this as an act of aggression and sprinted across the house. While continuing to projectile vomit.
The dog, torn between racing to help the exploding cat and eating the delicious partially digested cat food, snatched a couple mouthfuls during the pursuit. She then helpfully cornered the cat, who by this time had emptied himself out and begun dry heaving.
Confused, the dog wandered back across the house, vacuuming up great swaths of hork as she went. She had the nerve to look hurt when I firmly ordered her to desist. The cat finished dry heaving and ran back to his food to load up again.
Nervous about these goings-on and my hysterical over-reaction to them, the dog came over to calm me down by licking my face.
It did not work.

When you drain the life force

When they whine about death

And that crowd on your porch
wielding pitchfork and torch
those are mortals!
