okay so when seals eat all the fish its like "they did nothing wrong" and "we just need to rescue them" but when i eat all the fish its "what the fuck is wrong with you" and "you're banned from the sushi resturant"

The seals were 40 miles inland, eating all the river fish. 🦭

Peterborough seals rescued from river and returned to Norfolk

Daffodil and Trifle are taken back to the sea after fears they were eating too many of the river's fish.

Remember when "Black Lotus beats the stock market" was an oft-bandied claim?

Meanwhile I don't think the price of lotus has meaningfully moved in six years.

Florians' conversion rate today was an impressive 60%.

Unfortunately for fans of the Rotwood Harbinger, that's players named Florian, not the hero. Florian did terribly at 7%

They did the rifts again in Janthir for no reason!

Elaine @oritart.ca · 6d

it felt pretty obvious in LWS3 with the model reuse but was ignorable because everything else was fine

but kryptis rifts are very clearly "we have a marketing idea" where the actual executableness comes second to being designed as a selling point

I feel like GW2 lore used to feel like "a bunch of enthusastic writers with a vague lorebook but a lot of personal freedom" and now it feels like an MBA is trying to craft a story in a lab to be the minimum resources needed to sell a semi-viable product

To be clear it is difficult to roll 6 100% of the time but someone who is reasonably good can avoid rolling 1s (since the 1 is on the opposite side of the 6)

The alternative is to require people to use the dice bubble (or similar) but that's not likely to happen.
