Shhhhhhhhhhh
If I don't know my master plan, then THEY certainly don't either!
Also I do intentionally leave some things a bit more vague, with ideas of what I want to do, but I'm hoping the players will start theorizing amongst themselves so I can incorporate their stuff into the game.
It gives them a nice sense of accomplishment to have "predicted" something, and I think they feel more engaged in the campaign.
Or maybe I'm just a bad DM...
Boring anecdote ahead!
I remember watching a Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) video about Capo Fero while singing some Skallagrim videos, and immediately I went "hey wait a minute that sounds familiar" and racked my brain trying to figure out who's voice I was hearing in my head saying "capo Fero"
Of course once I realized it, I had to watch the entire movie, because one does not simply watch clips of The Princess Bride...
Anyway, that led me down a huge long road of videos all about sword fighting in movies and how realistic (or laughably unrealistic) they can be.
I was actually surprised to see halfswording in Season of the Witch when someone fights Ron perlman. That movie isn't amazing cinema, but it's fun and doesn't deserve it's 10% RT score. It should be at least 15%.
I knew of two other people on lemmy who lived in my state, and then following the tradition of so many astronauts before us, one of them left due to governmental persecution and fled to another country.
Shout out to all the people stuck in these states without enough funds to leave for a better life.

Okay, who's gonna tell them...
The slime mold growing up the side of a seasonal creek down the road is more important than good relations with the USA...
I remember seeing so many comments awhile back about how there wasn't a chance in hell that EON would ever allow someone else to have creative control.
I want to know how much they're being paid for it, and how much the next highest offer has been, because it has to be a shitload of money.
I will happily shake hands with a pineapple-on-pizza-er, if it means we can make sure this evil never hurts anyone ever again.
I'll wash my hands afterward, but it's the gesture that counts, right?
(pls wash your hands anyway, sanitation rulez)
They had an app store?
I am aware of the massive setup costs, and exactly 0 of what you said invalidates anything I said.
This is something that's always boggles my mind as an American.
Why would any other country rely on us for military equipment instead of working on their own? Yeah it costs money to setup, but even in highschool I knew enough to know the US has, to put it lightly, done shady shit to its allies. Hell, it's own people.
Why would anyone trust that they'll always be an ally? Especially when Republicans are in charge and make international cooperation even more of a joke than usual.
I want the EU to be self sufficient not because I think they suck and should be paying out the ass, like the magats do, but because when the US government decides they don't want to play with the other kids anymore, they can't take the proverbial ball home with them.
I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.
Okay so I stopped reading at "unmanned ground vehicles" because I'm an RC nerd and wanted to see the cool robot.
Took me a second to realize those aren't normal wheels.
My mother always said RC cars can be dangerous...
