One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

the fact that 70s prog rock is so good is a sign that no music critic opinion should be valued. they were really out there trying to gaslight people into liking the Steve miller band and acting like Selling England by the pound isn't one the greatest things made by humans. smh my head.

I love pretending to be an elf just as much as the next guy, but it pales in comparison to the joys of pretending to be a mouse with a sewing needle sword at my side.

WOW. The first book I've ever read. 6-year old me devouring those weird, green-sided pages, with all these great covers.
Goosebumps quite literally changed my life by making a reader out of me straight after having learnt how to read.
I still prefer the Italian name "Piccoli Brividi" though!

Delving into this old school megadungeon.
Facing a band of goblin at level 1 was not a great idea. Two characters deaths in the first session - easily replaced, but we end up victorious and with a new goblin guide.
Best intro ever.
Until a few years ago it'd have been unthinkable for my 5e mind
