What a great meme template!

My shitty code Some code I copied from github that is only used to calculate if a point is within a polygon but the code can do a whole lot more so the code is longer then my entire project My shitty code

There's just so much in IT that fits this format.

  • Every Terraform project
  • Using Nix tooling inside of Ubuntu
  • WSL
  • Proton/WINE
  • Containers on ECS, EKS, or whatever container runtime you hate this week.
  • Every custom C++ program that uses glibc, SDL, openssl, or whatever lib that has it's act together.
  • Python using numpy
  • Remediating a security hole in a legacy enterprise program

You didn't even use the template!!! A gorgeous masterpiece is sitting there and you just gave us text. I feel robbed.

I'm sorry.. I tried to find the original and I was unable to find it and my Photoshop skills aren't good enough to edit it out ;-;

This may sound strange, but honestly once you understand the game it's really the other way around!

The official 5e devs do NOT have any clue what they're doing in terms of encounter balance and design; almost everything gets crapped on by a good spellcaster or Ranger, and they play it pretty safe and corporate with stories too. Half of 5e adventures are copies of old adventures and it really shows because all the copies of old classics are actually way more respected and generally liked (Curse of Strahd, Sunless Citadel, White Plume Mountain) than 5e originals (Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen). Notable exception being Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. Despite being the smallest original adventure in 5e it's honestly good.

Still, I really appreciate the meme for our community! You're the backbone of lemmy with all your posts my guy

You try to comprehend the compliment you just got, as friendly mythical creature finished its sentence, chugged the glass of milk it held in its left wing and leaves the tavern. The door closes. You rush after, and as you leave the tavern, there is no sight of the creature. Only a single pair of its hind paws remain in the wet mud. A fate calls from within you. It could be - no, it has to be - the Memegod LoLzomir himself wants you to continue this path.

Honestly, for me it mostly felt the other way around. Every time the DM did something himself it felt fresh and fun and all the official stuff felt in some ways bland.

Image source? I'm interpreting this as post-flooding mud that uniformly covers the ground and only one spot was cleared :)

This looks like the original:

Wow, it has so many pixels, and so few jpeg artifacts!

Sinkhole repair, my guess is a leaking water utility pipe that eroded under the road until it collapsed as a car drove over one day

I recently started running a dungeon I tweaked from White Plume Mountain after a year of 100% homebrew. It do be like this.

Ah, but that's how I run my table. The jank is a feature, not a flaw.
