  • Player1: The quest said we have to retrieve the heart of the ocean!

    DM: that would be great except Rose threw it into the ocean.

    Rose: it’s what my player would have done.

    DM: that’s good Rose so let’s move on

    Player 1: hold on now she made it very clear she didn’t want to let us know, my character wouldn’t stop looking until I find it.

    DM: … So you want to roleplay aimlessly searching the entire ocean looking in a place we all no the gem is not at for the rest of your life until we die in real life?

    Player 1: well no, we will obviously run out of capital eventually and have to sell out to private equity to continue the search and after that fails we’ll have to do something different right? I mean I don’t want to give away the whole campaign.

    DM: … One Shot, not campaign.

    Player 1: come on DM you let rose do what her player would do despite the rest of the group wanting to strangle her.

    Rose: you’re doing this to punish me aren’t you?

    Player 1: well you’re the one who threw the damned necklace in the ocean!

    DM: “Sigh” roll an investigation check.

    Hmm, red makes it go faster so you kill more people faster but they don’t suffer as long but blue gives you better team mates in matches… wait is this competitive trolley slaughter? I wasn’t expecting to need a team I guess I’ll choose blue because they will be carrying.



  • Technically, 1 and 0 only represent the states of powered and unpowered (yes, it’s more complicated than that - shut up). While “true” is usually represented as a powered state, that’s only because of tradition - or more accurately, because we decided to label it that way. In the strictest sense, true only equals true, 1 only equals 1, and a transistor with a positive charge is simply that - a charge. Binary is just one way of representing these states, but so are hexadecimal, decimal, and even strings. It’s all a matter of convenience and convention - and those conventions don’t always follow strict logical rules.





  • A CD is a Certificate of Deposit. You see, back in the 1900s, our parents had this thing called DISPOSABLE INCOME thought to be a myth, but trust me, it was real. People had so much money they wouldn’t starve to death if they didn’t work overtime.

    Anyway, they needed a place to put it, so get this: they could deposit it into an account, and it would actually grow! Then they’d get a Certificate of Deposit to verify they really gave the bank the money because—guess what—it wasn’t a scam! They got the money back! I know, right? Amazing.
