Is there a word for mangled idiom that becomes commonplace

Jump

  • I like "we'll burn that bridge when we come to it"

    • Lego plans to make half the plastic in bricks from renewable materials by 2026

    Jump

  • LEGO are the plastic equivalent of the direct carbon capture idea! Buy enough LEGO and eventually all plastic will be LEGO! This is a joke but not sarcasm I love LEGOs.

    • The two types of DMs

    Jump

  • A good DM is both of these. They want you to feel that the danger is real, because higher stakes means the narrative payoff feels earned. They want you to feel like the world is wonderous, so that it feels like a thing worth fighting for.

    • Do you have any OC's? Can you tell us about any?

    Jump

  • I get that OC can mean lots of things, but I think most people in this thread are willfully misunderstanding you because of preconceived biases about original characters being 'childish.'

    I will instead attempt to engage in good faith. Here is an original character I conceived for a Star Control D&D game I ran.

    Archivist Ryll (pictured at right) is an Yllk who joined the crew after they performed a mission to help him study an anomalous neutron star. He is pragmatic and cheerful, and always game to help out, but dislikes authority figures. He lost his rear legs in an accident involving IDF (interdimensional fatigue). He is shown here in the epilogue of the campaign in his capacity as archivist, assisting with the official documents as the Alliance of Free Stars signs a formal cease-fire with the VUX Admiralty after the Battle of the Sa-Matra and subsequent dissolution of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy of Battle Thralls.

    • Anon casts a healing spell

    Jump

  • Player: "I do something to Eric's character against his will."

    A good DM: "No, you don't."

    End of discussion.

    • Doctors, what was some of your worst patients?

    Jump

  • People usually see doctors when something has gone very wrong with their life. It's scary when your body backs you into a corner, and fear makes people act stupid and angry. I would hope they could be given a little bit of slack.

  • I recognize and sympathize with the energy of this comment. I have also had a medical setback recently that is making it really hard for me to exercise. I had a tumor removed and they took my thyroid out with it, and something is not right with the replacement meds. It is tough to make people understand just how awful it can be to feel exhausted and irritable and confused every single day. What happened to you sucks, and it isn't fair, and it's okay to not be okay with it. For what it's worth, I hope your bone does grow back.

    • I go home when the die rolls say I can

    Jump

  • Are you suggesting my good Mr. Baggins of Bagshot Row, Hobbiton is not a god among burglars?

    • Why Gen Z & Millennials are hung up on answering the phone

    Jump

  • Is that not what the post office is for? Were pony express riders stopping at every individual farm and cabin?

    • Do cartoon characters see each other in the art style or “realistically”?

    Jump

  • Centaurworld is a pretty good example of characters being aware of their own animation style as one character slowly transforms between the two.

    • Bigly

    Jump

  • Come on, this isn't real. Sound out that name 'Mike Oxmall'. Even Moe Sizlak might not fall for this one.

  • Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis.

    "WISE FWOM YOUW GWAVE!"

    "WELL-COME TO-YOUR-DOOM!"

    Never got past like the 3rd level.

    • Is it actually very common for people to have violent sadistic fantasies, possibly involving actual people in their lives?

    Jump

  • I think there are different kinds of violent fantasies. I imagine all kinds of violent stuff in an unrealistic action movie kind of way, with exploding heads and disembowelment and all that (I run D&D games lol). I got worried that I might be dangerous. Then, one time I tried to vividly imagine the actual real world consequences of hurting a real person that I knew, and I couldn't get any further than imagining the pained, betrayed look on their face before I had to hit the eject button. That brief exercise fucked me up for weeks afterward, but it was pretty reassuring. In the long run. I think I'm the schmuck in the horror movie that chokes when it comes down to actually firing a gun at someone and gets killed for hesitating, and honestly I think I'm okay with that.

    • Anyone else like to fall asleep when they're extremely tired?

    Jump

  • I hate sleeping under any circumstances.

    • Horror crossover

    Jump

  • I'm putting this in my next D&D campaign

    • what's your favorite thing to put ketchup on that isn't fries?

    Jump

    • Sorry for the potentially controversial question: is it normal for less attractive people to settle down with partners they don't find physically attractive?

    Jump

  • 'Normal' isn't the most useful word for describing human interactions. It's always going to be biased by your culture, upbringing and life experience.

    A lot of people here are saying that people become more attractive as you get close to them, and I'm sure that's true--for them. Just to offer an alternative perspective, I find people less physically attractive the better I know them. I still love them and enjoy their company, and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but I just don't really want to be physically intimate with them past a certain point. I'm very independent and probably just not cut out for that kind of long-term relationship, but I'm also very open about it when talking to potential romantic partners. I don't want them putting all their eggs in one basket, especially when that basket is full of holes.

    • A game for the whole family

    Jump

  • What game? They're not playing a game in the image?

    • Famous last words?

    Jump

  • I went to my boss to ask for some time off and she reminded me that I had already requested the same days off weeks ago, been approved, talked about plans, then forgotten all of it.

    • What happened to the smartest kid in your class?

    Jump

  • This also happened to me. I dropped out of game art & design school. Now I'm doing art and animation for a game dev company. I took the scenic route, but I got here eventually!
