After A Day Of Work

Thinking about Silver's Namecloak

So, inspired by the whole "silvering a mirror" thing, I was thinking more about Silver's namecloak. Specifically, the fact that silver quite famously tarnishes, and the thematic parallel between the loss of shine and the Suvi+Silver breakup. What's more, the process of silver tarnishing has been accelerated by the additional sulfur in the air post-Industrial Revolution, and wizardry/the Citadel seems to be pretty much the magical Industrial Revolution. So, there's this crazy parallel between sulfur pollution tarnishing silver and the Citadel driving a wedge between Suvi and Silver.

IDK it's not totally coherent yet, but it did set off the gears in my brain.

Oodles of Strudel has only existed four days, but they already know not to stick your hand in the Strudel Dimension.

Tilda Swinton should play Tingle in the Zelda movie.

Dumb thought: a "the Gilligan's Island passengers are the seven deadly sins"-type theory, except it's the Dungeon Meshi crew and the five basic flavors

Thinking about 5e evasion and its utterly bizarre consequences.

Take the Fire Breath of an adult red dragon:

"The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one."

Now, let's modify it slightly by removing that last part:

"The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save."

Which of these does more damage, on average, to a high-level monk/rogue (one with evasion)? If you said the former, congratulations, you made the reasonable choice. You'd also be wrong: the monk/rogue takes twice as much damage from the modified ability.

Anyway, it bothers me.

So I think everyone immediately knew that the Blue/the Light was a direct result of some fucked-up nuclear shit when the word "reactor" was uttered once (and I'm willing to bet a lot of people knew before that but I either didn't or have forgotten), but also my dumb ass just put two and two together and finally caught on to the connection to Cherenkov radiation. Like duh, maybe the blue light coming from the nuclear reactor is a reference to THE blue light which comes from nuclear reactors.

Anyway, it made this little physics lad happy, and I would like to thank Aabria for this gift.

Welp. I finally caved and started Tears of the Kingdom. Haven't touched it since 100%'ing my first file a year ago.

my take about wbn is that if eursulon isnt fat what's da point
