How do you think I felt passing by this on the bus through Harvard Square and getting the idea for this post?
Gorgug: TEEN-AGE-ers.

FACT: People make resin die.
FACT: Some craftsmen, NOT ALL OF THEM, some craftsmen are just people in their basement putting resin into moulds and selling those babies online with the care and precision of a whiskey licked blacksmith in the wild west.
FACT: It's not unlikely for a lot of those dice to be incorrectly filled, uneven or Weighted.
FACT: If I was to buy a whole bunch of these die with many of them being weighted, some of them would be weighted to low numbers and some to high.
FACT: It is reasonable and likely for me to gravitate towards the die that give me High Numbers and go "oh these are my special dice" "oh this one is blessed by the goddess" and to remove low rolling dice from my line up.
FACT: This is not a phenomenon that occurs as often with metal die.
FACT: If I was a player who staunchly defended my metal dice while everyone else at the table used resin or fanmade dice, if I was a player who stood by my dice through thick or thin, refusing to switch dice out from my roster, if I was a player who had Publicly claimed my loyalty to metal dice on many occasions, I would statistically roll worse.
FACT: Brian Murphy does not have just as good a chance as rolling as any of you.
Yeah, the “snack player” is cool and all, but what about the “DM wedding officiant player”?
I simply must immortalize this text conversation I had with my friend here:
Did you know that inflation fetish artists were spending so much money on paid digital references, digital art resources, and supplies, that some guy had to publish a book compiling free online resources, art programs, and cheap ways of obtaining tablets, graphics cards, etc. so that the artists didn’t have to bankrupt themselves to make their art?
Look it up, the title is “Economic Inflation” by Jerok Reeves.
Every dropout subscriber loves comedy, and beneath that we love psychological horror. And beneath that? Comedy again, but weirder and gay.
Inspired by this post with an astute observation
They are the same guy in Hades II lore.
Thank you @brehaaorgana for coming through with screenshots! They replayed the technical test to find this!
Chronos/Khronos/Chronus/Χρόνος with a chi aka Time “HadesTwoAntagonist” Itself might not even be the same guy as Cronus/Cronos/Kronos/Κρόνος with a kappa aka Saturn “Mel’sGrandpa” DevouringHisSon in the game. Some ancient sources syncretize them. Some do not. Maybe they’re the same person in the game lore, but don’t be surprised if Chronos is never specified to be Hades’ father in the game.
In light (haha) of the recent eclipse, I’d like to point out that it was during an eclipse in 1868 that French Astronomer Jules Janssen observed an unusual spectral line produced when he pointed his telescope at the partially obscured sun. He assumed that it corresponded to the spectrum of Sodium.
Observation by English astronomer Norman Lockyer later that year revealed it to be a different element. The first one discovered on a distant celestial sphere before it was discovered on Earth. He chose to name it after the sun.
In 1968, one hundred years later, a space probe was launched to orbit around and study the sun.
Good to know Stalker grew out of a conversation between Brennan and Izzy about how a man who grew up in the woods and knows nothing of statecraft or social graces should not be the leader of a country.
