Rogue: For the last time NO you can't set up a floating city to avoid dwarven zoning shenanigans

Bard: Say what you want, I know them sea elves were cookin' something out there

Paladin: Until you drag up some ancient technological artifacts from one of your deep-throat networking adventures maybe don't talk about ruins you can't see.

BORK's GAME OF MADNESS

Bork's game of madness exists in a 3d tetrahedral mesh.

Tetrahedrons are called "cells" and are either alive or dead. All cells have direct and indirect neighbors. A cell's direct neighbors are those with which the cell shares a face. An indirect neighbor is a direct neighbor of a direct neighbor.

The vertices of these tetrahedral cells are called "nodes". Nodes are connected by the edges of tetrahedrons.

Each node exists in a value ranging from 0 to the node's maximum value.

If a node would increase beyond its maximum value, it is instead changed to the value of zero.

Any cell with two or less living neighbors dies. Any cell with 5 or 6 living neighbors becomes alive. Any cell with more than 6 neighbors dies.

Whenever a node changes to a number other than 0, each other node that number of vertices away increases by one.

Whenever a node changes, and all of the cells it shares a vertex with are alive, that node's maximum value increases by 1.

Whenever a node changes and all of the cells it shares a vertex with are dead, that node's maximum value decreases to a minimum of 3.

Whenever all of a cell's neighbors are alive it creates a new node in its center equal to the ceiling of the average value of its nodes multiplied by the reciprocal of the golden ratio. This node creates edges and faces between each of the other nodes resulting in new dead tetrahedral cells.

Wizard: So I finished the mechanical beholder, and I'm working on making sure it's got a good alignment.

Rogue: Neat. Does this align with me stealing from a bank? Because that's really essential to my personal and philosophical core.

Wizard: No, but I want everyone's input to make sure this goes well.

Cleric: perfect, I've actually got the exact book for this situation.

Bard: I condensed it into a song, so we can leave the tax-exempt drivel out.

Wizard: CAN WE PLEASE ALIGN WITH THE GOAL AT HAND HERE!?

Rogue: Yeah, like how can it use thieves tools without hands? It seems spiritually limiting.

Wizard: *Snorts a jar of raw bird milk* Alright I f***ing got it. There's a quantum school of magic underlying all the others and I WILL find it inside this blue tetrahedron.

Rogue: I hope you know every time you say this without a formula or a spell you get closer and closer to tax-exempt status.

Cleric: You wanna get some cheesy propaganda going to leave in bathrooms or do you wanna go with the soap-box route?

Artificer: This is neither math nor music so I'm confused about what this should sound like to my ears.

Druid: I'm waiting for one of you to translate this to English or British. 'Till then this needs a lot more dragons to keep with its name. May I suggest a moon-dragon?

Wizard: YES! A MECHANICAL PHASE-DRAGON. PERFECT!!!

Bork's Glowing Dice Experiment

Ya take two dice made of glow-in-the-dark plastic, charge one up, and roll them in a pitch black room. (Dice towers help, if you're that kind of nerd you'll probably already have one)

One die will be visible, the other won't be. While one die is unknown the total sum of the dice will be in a state of superposition until you turn on a light to look at the dark side.

I'm proud to announce that BorksMemes won't be doing any of that cringey insincere un-punk-rock rainbow logo bulls***.

'Round these parts we look out for our homies all year, not just when it's sunny and profitable.

I'm gonna stick to making more insane content, instead of ignorantly trying to make potentially dangerous points for someone else's community.

Do your best to do your best and stay gay as hell kiddos.

Bork looks up from a cedar table past dancing fairies playing stealthily in the wind.

Bork gazes into the trees waiting to see what the forest has to say about the chattering world which lies just beyond the horizon.

The trees whisper a sweet nothing to Bork blown on sweet scents to deaf eyes. Bork does his best to listen. "The Age Of The Tulpamancer has begun." They say.

BORK's GAME OF LIFE

Bork's game of life exists in a 3d tetrahedral mesh.

Tetrahedrons are called "cells" and are either alive or dead. All cells have four direct neighbors with which they share a direct face. An indirect neighbor is a direct neighbor of a direct neighbor. (i.e. the next door over)

Any living cell with two or less living neighbors dies. Any dead cell with 5 or 6 living neighbors becomes alive. Any living cell with more than 6 living neighbors dies.

When I want to learn about something completely new I use social media.

Here's what I do:

Step 1.) Watch a few hours of tutorials and intros on YouTube.

Step 2.) Join three or more s***posting groups about it for a few weeks of immersion.

Step 3.) Watch some iceberg videos to try and grasp missing sources of nuance.

Step 4.) Add new ideas to the subject by posting about it publicly while seeking helpful corrective criticism.

"Describe a new color"

A lighthearted joke for most philosophers. Also a constant annoyance for the colorblind, keenly aware that the universe holds known secrets. While photons may be expressed infinitely, it is the finite lens of experience within which we play today.

There's nothing to liken it to. It is, and shall forever be, a sovereign sensation. It holds space in memory, it holds feeling in experience, yet still there is no further expansion or reduction from this color to something prior known yet unseen.

It is the thing you can't make up, yet can't quite count out. Somehow both inconceivable yet immediately knowable. A new color is to most but a perfectly disputable truth, known only to those who have truly seen it, if at all.

Trying the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result is persistence, not insanity.

Take it from an actual crazy person, nobody's gonna throw grippy socks and huggy shirts on you for persevering through adversity.

Only you can decide whether the obstacles in front of you will end your journey in failure, or continue on into a delightful jaunt towards unforeseen prosperity.

Assessment of nuance

Establish a starting point for perception and introspection to subtract potential biases when interpreting the considered work.

Inspect the work at hand for details.

Assess probable denotative and connotative interpretations of the work in a vacuum.

Compare the work with others from the same creator to subtract that which has already been communicated to extrapolate the supposed intent of the creator.

Compare the considered work with other works of a related interpretation or medium to assess whether the considered work is presenting unseen information.

Using the passage of time, supposition, or exposure to change, assess the considered work's interactions with added information.

Increased context means enhanced perspective, resulting in a more complete interpretation of nuance in a considered work.

How to create:

In order to create one must first establish intent. This may be as simple as "to create".

One must then consider objective, experienced, and supposed details relevant to the intent at hand.

One must then introduce foreign elements to that which is known in accordance with the constraints of one's intent.

One should then assess the resultant creation for emergent properties.

Should the creation satisfy the creative intent, the creative process is complete. Should the creation not satisfy the creative intent, one may consider altering their intent, considering further details emerging from the failed creation, or introduce different foreign elements to the considered creation.

Artificer: So yeah these new sending stones have the prestidigitation cantrip built in so you can send anything you want.

Bard: *eyebrows raised* Anything?

Artificer: Well almost anything, actual freedom of speech is based on a subscription model that costs $15/month.

Bard: F*** that . Call me when it's got anime dragon tiddies.

Can't wait for September when companies stop pretending they actually followed the moratorium on AI development.

Right now they're waiting for new hardware. The race for the final disruptive technology didn't stop, it just got quiet.

Tech companies just needed an excuse to not have any results for investors for a few more months.

Some days I work on being a better person. Other days I work on being a better friend.

I wish I was better at doing both simultaneously.

I wish I could read a room as well as I can read code. I wish I could see that which makes me blind.

For now I am just a beast, trying to nurture it's way to a better nature.

HOW TO PLAN A GOBLIN ENCOUNTER:

Step 1.) Add some goblins

Step 2.) More goblins

Step 3.) Prisoners maybe?

Step 4.) Add a couple of extra goblins just to be safe.

Step 5.) Give one of the goblins a big hat and a silly name. Make them yell a lot. Have them duel the strongest adventurer they can find. Make it fight fair. Give the goblin dreams and aspirations that no blade can kill. Make it an impressive show of honor and self control. As the adventurer is about to finish them off have them say one final prayer to their god. Give them an honorable death. Make the players wonder if what they're doing is right. Just as the duel ends make a shining light appear on a hillside nearby and have the other goblins retreat. Let them live to see another day. Let their champion rest.

Step 6.) Idk more goblins.
