Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

Update: I’ve been informed I can be graded on this if I include an analysis so here it is:

D&D 5e supposedly has a GM shortage and idk maybe if the player culture of the game didn't treat GMing as a thankless job and the rules of the game as an issue to be fixed by the GM maybe things would be better. Ah well, who knows. Maybe a couple hundred more "we ruined the GM's campaign on purpose" memes will make people enjoy running the game better.

How can we get more people to GM? I know! Let's share more reddit posts about "nightmare GMs" where it turns out the GM was driven to desperate action by players that were actively, willfully torturing the GM. Those are fun stories that would make anyone see how great it is to run a game!

(Yes, this response is 100% about that "44 Rules" Reddit post from a while back)

What's the "44 rules" reddit post? I'm morbidly curious now

Disclaimer: I'm not on Reddit, I found out about this through D&D YouTubers, but here's my best understanding

Someone on Reddit shared a list of rules that their DM had sent to their group - 44 rules, ranging from micromanaging to outright unhinged

If you were to take those rules in isolation, and assume that the person who posted them to Reddit was acting in good faith, then it paints a picture of an out-of-control nightmare DM who only knew how to have fun by making life miserable for the players

But some of the rules also made it impossible to take the rules in isolation and assume good faith on the part of the redditor; rules like "don't break my stuff" and "don't show up to the game so high that you can't play" don't just appear out of nowhere

So, other redditors did some digging, and it took like half a minute to find that the same person who had posted this list had also been posting for months about how he and his fellow players enjoyed making life a living hell for their DM

The actual story of the 44 Rules was that the DM canceled the game, the players tried to harass him into starting it back up again, and this list was him basically saying "no way in hell would I ever play with you guys ever again"

But unfortunately, several YouTubers didn't do the ten seconds of research it would have taken to uncover the truth, and so presented this list to their viewers as an example of "when DMs go bad"

was measuring out some sugar and i scooped out one spoonful and fucking said "two." i didn't know you could even lose count that fast

Do you knit or crochet? I think you would fit in well.

"Do it scared" is out. "Do it in a fugue so dense as to barely be penetrable by uncertainty" is in.

setting my status on MS teams as DO NOT RESUSCITATE

my "do not resuscitate" teams status is prompting a lot of questions already answered by my "do not resuscitate" teams status

The goat!!!

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please
