Your characters walk into a magic shop, but instead of buying magic items the shopkeeper offers to sell them scrolls of ownership. “There are infinite number of these scrolls,” he explains, “but they all use a decentralized mechanism to determine ownership!”
“Okay, I’ll buy one. Now where’s my +1 sword?” The fighter asks.
“The scrolls say that you own it” the shopkeeper unhelpfully reiterates. “And every other scroll will be updated to agree that you own it.”
I like this because then you can say that a non-worthy person can wield the hammer, if they’re stronger than Odin and can beat the enchantment. Magneto is probably on that level.
The trope probably goes back further than that, but yes.
It also had the “other OS” feature! It’s strange that the PS3 remains the only big console to have that feature, given how difficult its architecture is to work with. The modern consoles are all much closer to just being prebuilt PCs and none of them have it.
Ooh I wanna try this. I used to eat a lot of spam, but then I moved and it wasn’t available anymore.

You’re probably talking about AdNauseum, but unfortunately the ad servers can tell when a real person clicks the ad or when a bot clicks them.
Blow a fat cloud on someone else’s desk so their name pops up, bonus points if your teachers suck and blindly punish anyone whose name gets triggered.
we hope this will reduce vaping through social pressure
The social pressure of all of your friends knowing that you’re cool and break the rules?

chill out bud.
I remember from my own time in recruit training they taught us to kneel on the affected artery while we were applying the tourniquet, which isn’t exactly comfortable for the person receiving. It turned into a game of basically hurting each other as much as possible while practicing applying the tourniquet, lmao.
This was the Marines though, not the Army.
All these ideas are genuinely cool as hell, I can just imagine how a modern game would ruin them by having players pay to get out of jail early or to get access to stuff that’s supposed to be unlocked.
The tutorial for that game was kinda wild, they simulated what getting a class on first aid during boot camp was like. So you’d listen to some corporal talk about applying a tourniquet, and then do a short test, and boom you get rank points for multiplayer.
I agree, but I just know that someday Mozilla is going to go down and I’m gonna lose my passwords and I won’t even be able to get into my email to reset them.
No shit? Do you think I thought it was a documentary?
I read interviews with the author where he goes into detail on his research to make the main character’s survival plausible, and it’s fascinating stuff.
Naw a “Nervous Brea” is just one of those old-timey diseases that they cured with a vibrator.
I read the book, it’s hardly a snap. The guy drinks his own piss and eats potatoes fertilized by his own shit for like two years.
In the old D&D fluff, kobolds are described as having “dog like faces”. They became lizard and then dragon people later, so I guess you could say that both versions of kobold are equally divergent from the original concept.
Luckily, we’ll always have Psy.
