  • Relatively is carrying a lot of weight there.

    Their 28-year-old son may not have much to do with the fact that they are having another kid, but that fully grown adult man is still a part of the family and should count for something.

    There’s no need to just completely and totally toss him out of the equation.

    Especially when you consider that there is a possibility, depending on the age of the girlfriend, that both of them could die before this child reaches the age of majority, in which case, he would likely need to step in to finish the job.



  • I feel like this is one of those things where, even though there is a likelihood that you are right, you don’t actually know that you are correct.

    People are weird.

    People are occasionally evil, especially towards weird people.

    There’s an entire possibility that atheists have stoned somebody to death, and since you’re the one making the claim, I feel like you should be the one to scour every single instance of death in all of human history to verify your claim.






  • Early on in their first game, my players suffered a T.P.K.

    A squadron of horrible die rolls killed all three party members in their first battle.

    I’m talking skeletons rolling nat 20s against level 3 characters who kept rolling twos and threes for the entire battle.

    But they didn’t die.

    Instead, they awoke to find themselves in front of the BBEG who enslaved them with a cursed crest and then sent them out to scour the world for a specific list of objects where they were contractually bound to be released once they delivered them all.

    This effectively let me railroad the campaign just enough to get the party started.

    (This is what I would be saying if I had realized that I could do this immediately instead of staring slackjawed in disbelief as 30 minutes into a well-planned campaign, every single party member died and then accused me of being too hard of a GM and… yeah.)

    One trick that helped me is that psychopaths tend to frame things in an either or, where the either is, you do what they want you to do, and the or is, you are a horrible person.

    When you find that yourself in that situation, always pick the horrible person option.

    What they think of you doesn’t fucking matter.

    Once they realize that they can’t manipulate you, they’ll get bored and move on.






  • Additionally, if your smart TV requires an internet connection in order to be set up in the first place, use the hotspot on your phone with a new SSID, and set it up, and then change the SSID on your phone.

    After that, it should work without an internet connection, and it’ll spend all of its time attempting to connect to an internet connection that is no longer there.
