Ah yes, salmon flying downstream for the winter.
This is why I liked the how Torture skill in Burning Wheel does just this: you decide what the victim says. It's not true, it's just what they admit to.

Yeah, the tweet is funny, but while most days when I worked in the office would take me roughly the same amount of time to get to work (~45-60min), sometimes there were accidents and such that could add up to hours.
Even if I don't directly use each book, I might find ideas and inspiration in them that I can bring back to the games I do run. This has happened plenty of times. Besides, they can be fun to read. This goes for old books too. Numerous times I've adapted old material for new games.
America loves their school shootings. If they didn't, they would've done something about it by now.
Fair point! I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just interesting to me cause I'm not used to it. I usually run D&D as medieval (like ~1300 AD) European fantasy with magic and a little bit of anachronistic renaissance stuff.
I have a player like this. He always specs out all the options on spreadsheets and tries to find the optimum builds for any RPG we play. Which is fine, but I got really tired of him telling everyone else how to play their characters in D&D that we've only been playing other RPGs for the past few years where build optimization is less of a thing.
