In Lesotho (and I assume other developing countries that teach the English standard) they use those phrases because the 24-hour day and 60-minute hours are a foreign concept to many kids and their families.

I'm away from my PC/consoles for the next year but I've been all over Polytopia on mobile. Easy to learn hard to master. Very complex little game that I can play through a few times a day with lots of replayability.

Maybe to you. If this is the kind of content that you like and gets upvotes in this community then y'all have fun with it; it's not harming anyone. I just commented after seeing it on All because I only just noticed the trend of memes being used differently than they used to be.

Nah this is a devolution.

The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she's clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn't align with her picture.

Then we've replaced the cat with Skeltor... for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don't we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?

It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.

If your world has other adventurers, I think it's ok to say some fledgling adventurers finished the job or something. It might even be a cool role-playing scenario where a clearly inferior party declares themselves superior because they did what the PCs "couldn't" (read: didn't) do.

If you think it would be fun to have their past actions catch up with them, do it. I think the important thing is to keep the story "moving forward" rather than pulling the characters backwards to old events. So you should imagine taking those old unused encounters, spicing them up as a consequence of the characters failing to deal with them before (ie the old hobgoblins from level 4 have made a pact with a devil in exchange for a power boost to take vengeance on the PCs who failed to wipe out the whole group), and then placing those encounters in front of the players and making them relevant to the current plot rather then making the players pause what they're interested in to deal with something they already mostly dealt with.

What's with all these weird misused memes

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@dormi.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Uncultured, clearly hasn't read enough Discworld.

Found this. Basically the claim here is that funds were allocated to this project, and although some of those funds were redirected, congress never deallocated the rest, and therefore they have to continue to be used. I'm not totally convinced but it's a more nuanced take than the comments here.

I've forgotten how to find and subscribe to a community on an instance other than the one I'm on. Once I get some time to reassociate myself I'm sure I can figure it out again but it's not intuitive.

For most people in the US at least they can only identify iPhone or non-iPhone.
