Scary Movie 3. Among many reasons that's a film you shouldn't watch as a child, that was my introduction to the Ring, and I had a TV in my room.

Don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "good".

When I make maps for ttrpgs, I've started using a tool that is, let's be honest, kinda crap. The maps I can make using it can only ever be "good enough." This is good, because it means I don't spent hours trying to make it perfect, and instead just finish prepping other things.

Do you wanna check your math there?

"That'll show those poor!"
"Why are you cheering? You're not rich."
"True, but someday, I might be. And then people like me had better watch their step!"

Oh, I know. And I double checked wikipedia to see what the critical response was. Carrie Fisher liked how it looked. Reviewers said it was "weird and unsettling", "particularly plastic" or "distractingly artificial."

I don't think "if at first you don't succeed" applies here. Like, I'm annoyed they tried once. I think a more applicable adage is "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

With Disney capital to pay for high-end technology that looked amazing, we found the result was passable at best. Peter Cushing's estate, run by his former secretary, said it was okay, but the overwhelming response from audiences was that it was disrespectful.

We know we couldn't, and we know we shouldn't. So let's not.

Remember that time they used CG to bring back Peter Cushing in Rogue One? Remember how bad it looked? Remember how disrespectful it was? Maybe we shouldn't do it again.

Yeah, this question is like being asked "what's your favourite STI". They're all unpleasant, so I'd rather not have any.

I'm willing to bet there was some islamaphobia in those rejected screenplays.

I don't know about being a flat earther, but I know for a fact they're a moon landing denier. Very unkeen on evidence, that one.

...You just answered your own question. He was delivering supplies. That's the point.

Although, in the case of oxygen, he was picking up trash (carbon) to take out with him. And he went through the whole place to make sure he got it all.

A man enters a room and leaves with a box. In the process of picking up the box, he became a man carrying a box. This is not transmutation.

I put some beans on my toast. In the process, it becomes beans on toast. This is not transmutation.

Two things became one combination of two things. Neither thing has fundamentally changed.

 

He couldn't see that well.

 

Real person, fictional character, or even just hypothetical: I wanna hear it!

 

This is purely hypothetical, just for fun. In this scenario, you don't get to know who the GM is in advance, but they do have to run it as written. The players can leave whenever they like, but the GM has to stay until either all players leave or the players beat the dungeon.
