are you targeting a specific creature when throwing? is there anything in its way?
the main cases I can think of it doing that are when it’s out of power and you’re not targeting anything specific or it can’t reach the target (out of range/blocked)

The secret to a balanced dev team is combining someone who doesn't play videogames because they don't like videogames and someone who does play videogames because they don't like videogames

“Tomorrow,” said Toad, “I can just take life easy.” Toad went back to bed.

household argument over which one of us is Frog and which is Toad. I'm insisting I'm Frog even though I know very well I'm Toad (for this is what Toad would do)

our very competent & chill pediatrician explained early puberty to my 9yo and he said, politely but firmly, "oh, no thanks :)" like she was trying to sell him a timeshare in jersey

One of my fave builds is a chimera with a defect and max unstable genome (~4) and then taking an extra limb at every possible moment. It’s slower to start but I think it’s fun to get a bunch of limbs
