…Skipped?

You mean, saved the best for last?

Seems the article is from 2008, and the La-a I know of was in pre-k in ~2015, so it seems someone named their kid based on the legend.

This feels weirdly too late. I can’t imagine that many people in 2027 who passed on a Switch 1/2, SteamDeck, supposed other upcoming handhelds, or the ROG Ally and are looking for a gaming handheld with money to burn.

Xbox has to really bring something hot to the table, and its certainly not whatever they’ve been doing with their hardware/games/IPs for the past 5 years.

There’s a story about a man (Hennig Brand) who figured since pee was yellow, and gold was yellow, maybe if you boil urine down enough you can get the ‘gold’ out of it and make lots of stacks of cash.

Unfortunately this didn’t work, but it did yield a process to create phosphorous which ended up being a valuable chemical process, of which he sold to other alchemists at the time (Who in turn tried to figure out how to turn the new found phosphorous to gold).

I know a guy that took a security camera and hooked it up to watch his lawnmower, which is set to automatically mow a certain area as guided by the camera.

So he just hits a button and watches his lawn get mowed.

I’ve played enough RimWorld to know I wouldn’t be totally ok in any of these scenarios.

All it takes is a random bug bite or infection and home meds just won’t be enough.

In my experiences, every time someone does something incredibly bold like that, they get mad their actions have consequences.

I think some people really just want a DM to roll with their shenanigans all the time.

La-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah) is the weirdest one I’ve seen
