Watching Season 3 of "For All Mankind" finally. The new important character that popped up is Dev Ayes. He's an eccentric light years ahead Silicon Valley billionaire who intends to get to Mars years before NASA, the Soviets (yes the USSR still exists in this show's universe), or anyone else. It is clearly the Musk archetype the media created before the present era. I'm curious if it plays out as a cautionary tale arc or a savior arc through the end. I get douche chills just watching this because of the Musk connotation in the same way I do with Tony Stark in Marvel movies. #ForAllMankind #SciFi #ElonMusk #space #AltHistory

Someone was just telling me about a “real movement” variation of dnd grids, where a diagonal movement costs 10ft rather than 5ft, and it’s made me unreasonably annoyed.

If you really want to be pedantic, the distance across a diagonal 5ft square is 7ft (rounded). Are you going to enforce that into your game play?

No.

Why not?

Because it would make it needlessly complicated and you would be left discussing what fraction of the square you’d covered.

I think I might need a lie down. #dnd
