Even when the giants are not well known- whatever you’re doing, you most likely aren’t the first. Look to those who came before and learn from them- both from their successes and mistakes. Not only will what you make be better for it, but I myself can think of no greater honor than to be an inspiration for those who come after.
… and yes, I’m talking about discovering a really elegant TTRPG system created several years ago and put out for free to the world that I’m adapting for my own game. Because I’m a giant nerd.

Lovely little old school TTRPG. Captures the feeling of adventure and the perils that come with it super well in a very cute system based on British fairy tales (I am currently playing a Grimalkin which is basically a fey cat/puss in boots/the Cheshire cat). Medium to high lethality, so make sure to bring a backup character!

Gale from baldurs gate 3 is perhaps the most relatable character ever and he’s so me

With that name, he's a paladin. A paladin I did not create but was cajoled into playing because my DM couldn't take the time to have me make a new character mid-quest (it was either play as Thoromyr or sit out the campaign). How bad could playing a paladin be, really? Just a few games, right?
Yet he lives. Ugh, how I loathe him. I do everything I can to kill him, but he never dies. It is as if the dice gods know what I'm about. I play him like the paladin from Honor Among Thieves, but with a touch of Zap Brannigan from Futurama.
He had a squire named Hamfast, but the poor youth died in a cave far from civilization. Now he has no one to groom him or the horses, listen to his inane ramblings about the tenets of the faith, or fetch the firewood. He is good at screwing up the shady dealings of the thief and mage in the party, which adds a nice character tension. I just wish someone else was playing him!

I was never able to stick to my habits until I learned this one weird trick: forgive myself ahead of time for the times I’ll break them either by mistake or on purpose, and permission to just pick back up after with no judgement.
as a little treat I allow myself a bit of deviation … as a bigger treat I allow myself the compassion and knowing that failure is human nature and I can just start again tomorrow
gonna go pretend like I didn’t recc this at 7am now! ciao :)

Co-signing on this one hard. Got lots of small lamps at my place and it makes super happy turning on just the right amount of them for whatever purpose or feel I have in mind.
I’ve thought about trying to get them automated but honestly I prefer them manual. The act of having to move about the place flicking switches and clicking buttons and pulling cords to conduct the lighting *just so* is a daily delight.
get home turn them all on

We're long overdue in thrusting "What do you do?" into the sea forever. It's time we collectively get down to what people are interested in instead of minimizing their vibrant existence by asking how they make money.
