  • I’m on the extreme end. Any kind of “recommendations” are an immediate and complete turn off for me. Not just the obvious stuff like “sponsored” posts or “algorithmic social media” feeds. I abhor and avoid even things like Spotify recommendations, which most people consider useful.

    Whether they intend it or not, these engines are built to funnel you back into the lowest common denominator, most broadly appealing stuff, because that’s what the algorithm sees gets the most clicks from the average person. Sure, everyone likes oatmeal, but that’s because its bland and inoffensive.

    I want to find my own shit through my own idiosyncratic process.













  • My favorite ever Druid was a human named Cleetus Fernbottom. I modeled him after the idea of the swampbenders in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

    He was middle aged, balding, spoke with a Southern accent and was about as wide as he was tall. He was from the swamp and loved all the critters there. But he was tricked into leaving for a life of adventure because his Druid Circle thought he was too dumb. He wasn’t the brightest, but he had a heart of gold.

    Mechanically he was a Cirlce of the Moon Druid, and I mostly used Thorn Whip as my cantrip and Giant Toad as my wildshape. His primary function was CC.
