Which is infuriating because that word doesn't work like that. A trailblazer blazes a trail by cutting marks (blazes) into trees. At no point does a trail do any blazing. You lazy cunts.

One of the fun things about a potential D&D boycott re Hasbro buying the Harry Potter contract is that pretty much all the significant influencers/personalities in the D&D space have basically had alternative game systems prepped and published and seeded since a year ago.

The only hope in the Threads story was "I hope to fuck this moves public opinion and decision makers towards desperately avoiding nuclear war".
There's no hope in nuclear war. This isn't a John Wyndham novel where a man in a chunky sweater sets his jaw at the end and starts rebuilding civilization.

the accurate figures from 1984 meant there would be no survivors. they scaled this back for being too depressing.
the version of Threads actually released *is* the upbeat optimistic story.
that’s your hope.

how bad do you have to fuck up to allow an exploit in fucking NOTEPAD
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...
