I've never 'got'

Not exactly cold brew (sometimes) but iced coffee is an absolute life saver in hot weather. Cold caffeine! Keeps me away from energy drinks

Read this regularly and in due course you will understand:

Similar to Myers Briggs

Completely useless but loved by morons everywhere? Less reliable than The Sun's horoscope page? As believable as Donald Trump's Tinder profile?

I think you're being a little unfair to Dungeons and Dragons.

I apologise to all cold brewers everywhere. I probably need to buy a dedicated cold-brewing setup.

An attempt to model human behaviour as deterministic. But one includes dice rolls to add a slightly more realistic degree of fuzziness.

Don't trust my opinion though - never graduated to AD&D from D&D, which I think had only had three Alignments.

if that's a webcomic about fantasy role-playing games, which it appears to be, I lack the vocabulary to express my desire not to read it, regularly or otherwise

It was an old party trick, and now long forgotten, but I studied Myers Briggs enough to be able to pick my outcome from a selection of the 16 personalities.

"Oh, a Myers Briggs test, how quaint! Do you want me to answer so that I come out as a Thinker, an Architect, a Champion or a Commander?"

Hehe. Not just a web comic, although it probably started that way, but the guy gets respectable circulation of his printed books, too, I think. Anyway, it does poke fun at D&D rules, which I enjoy, and alignment has featured on a good number of occasions.

On a tangent, are you familiar with the Nichtlustig series of books?

No, I hadn't heard of them. At first glance, the drawing style doesn't appeal to me.

gah when I was working as a translator I had plans to write to his publisher offering my services. Balls! mind you this was over a decade ago

Ha, I'm sure that would have been a good gig if you like the subject.

Write to all your other favourite authors tomorrow. :)

Why people say "I've sent you a PM". If you saw one you'd see the other. I'm just calling your mobile to say I've just sent you a text.

Hi @WillMelling I haven’t sent you a PM

On mobile the new message icon is hidden under the hamburger menu, and therefor not immediately visible.

Also, people might have turned off notifications for messages, but not for replies (although that doesn't make a lot of sense to me personally).

Why people say "I've sent you a PM". If you saw one you'd see the other. I'm just calling your mobile to say I've just sent you a text.

The yellow "you have a PM" icon frequently doesn't work (for me, anyway), so it can be days (sometimes weeks) before I notice that someone has sent me a message.

The "link in bio" thing on Instagram. Why not stick the bloody link in the picture caption where it would be in context?

As far as I’m aware Instagram won’t let you click through from a link in a post. You can add a link but it just posts the text and doesn’t hyperlink. There are probably exceptions for the rich n famous.

I feel your pain.

Oh, okay then. Thanks for the explanation!

Harry Hill - funny?

Yeah. Early days, the way he juggled so many different stories along then started to feed the punchlines in with callbacks and callbacks on callbacks, really fucking funny live.

I think so, it's always quite superficial, non-offensive but it works.

There's only one way to find out!

yeah consistently funny in the early days. his late 90s show was ace.

TV burp was good until the very end when they started milking some bits.

he's done loads of other stuff, including kids books and shows, which I've not seen/heard.
