Granted. The Monkey’s Paw is now replaced by an alternative wishing mechanism that is slightly more evil- it had previously been wished out of existence by the Paw, you see.

A couple of heavy-handed lines here and there but yeah. Fun episode.

Nightly, as the name implies, updates nightly. It’s the “bleeding edge” release, meaning you’ll get the newest features but will probably get more issues running it as a result.

I can see the halfling thing being an interesting origin story for a villain. Heroic halflings need some sort of evil individial or force to fight against to work as a solid narrative- so if the culture got a little bit too risky with using a specific fictional individual as that enemy, they could become real

If you had hidden cameras, you could gather data on how the language is being used in various scenarios. That might be enough for an ai to use to “learn” the language
