I can't wait to see The unconvincing ear mite old age makeup.
I am so bad at changing the duvet cover. It is always is a struggle, for no good reason.
rice is life, and I got a thread to share about rice: Park Chung-hee's obsession to make South Korea rice self-sufficient in the 1970s changed everything about the country, including your favorite Korean foods and the urban environment 🧵
Fascinating.
Sepultura - Roots album cover. A face with tribal designs surrounded by branching red roots.
'Roots is thrilling, immediate and punchy. You get the sense that, for Sepultura in 1996, ‘roots’ was a signifier of authenticity as much as of sense of place.'
Happy Birthday to #Sepultura's Roots, which turns 30 today!

What did you see first: the pearl or the rooster? 🐓💎

I guess that's one benefit of modular expansions. A way to present options while still leaving a "definitive" version, although some players don't like those kinds of expansions either. You can't please everyone.
I don't mind variants in theory, but sometimes it comes across as indecisive on the part of the designers and developers. As a player, I want to know what they have concluded is optimal before I start digging down into optional rules.
I have to admit, this toolbox approach was really difficult for me. Has he ever thought of giving his suggestions for "optimized" play?
Nice. Water solulable products are convenient.
Not too difficult to clean?
I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.
Loved these books as a child. Very inspiring to my young self.
