thanks! missed that one.

it is a generic style of storytelling where heros / adventurers / PCs are dragged into a quest by some all-knowing-seer / noble / fate.

an example application of this is when a king(prophet) summons the party, tells them "we are currently waging a war against xxx evil, hero bros" and said hero bros party are the hope of the kingdom. party then buffs up and does the training arc(squeeze) for the scripted big bad(monster) showdown.

an obligatory roll to persuade the king is now the meme to challenge classic trope and makes it more fun~

imo, 'gringo' has no special meaning unless it was given one from a local group. like how "let's go brandon" only makes sense on a specific group.

'yankee' used to have a specific one before, i.e. north-eastern US bros, but it got saturated and now could be used generally. imo, 'yankee' usage has ye olde vibe to it, but maybe that's just me.

EDIT: corrected 'southern', thanks to Denvil

There are dark mode books? Just not that many.

you must have exhausted most of your energy stores, fellow human.

power tripping? bought a president-level account and now has pseudo president-level access to muck things up. this coincidentally also puts a lot of regulations out his way.

yup, there's no problem with wood. there's only risk when it starts to wear.

i use a solid wood one, but this suggestion works as well!

light bulbs that die too often.

those pots and sauce pans that use a screw to connect the handle. the screw head generally places inside the pot and will get to all your food.

chopping boards. plastic chopping boards enhance your meals with microplastic. composite wood enhances your food with bacteria lodged in-between wood pieces. bamboo -- too thin and ends up similar to composite.

sounds like Cybair Force One X in the making.

Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch.

i am amazed at how they were able to connect the dots with this one. naturally, like twitch is instantly a game store.

or am i missing a feature they had to bridge a gap here?

imo, i feel it is intentional and made to be as neutral as possible so the man baby won't have more reasons to give a fit.

i wish europe can set their defenses up from this experience.
