  • Cute and attractive share a grey fuzzy line. It’s also well understood that sex sells. We also know that humans tend to feel more positively towards attractive (not exclusively sexually attractive) people/things. So it would make sense to make a product attractive, and, if anthropomorphic, with generic attractive proportions.

    If kids find it cute and appealing, they are more likely to ask to see it. If parents see it’s cute, it feels more child friendly, and even though they may not find it sexually appealing, good proportions are still easier on the eyes than disfigured or grotesque (plus it can be more relatable). Then you also have the adults who find it sexually attractive, and as stated previously, sex sells. You hit a much wider audience using generic attractive features and cutsy-ness, than singularly one or the other.

    This is in no way iron clad fact so much as personal musings on the why. If the Bunny was not seen nearly as attractive as the current design, would it garner so much attention, and therefore free advertising?





  • I actually became friends with one of my best friends through making puns on his name for several days until he heard a bunch of new ones. Its been 7 years and I was a groomsmen at his wedding last year. Wild to imagine this is how I make friends. My other best friend I made by picking them up as a hitchhiker.

    These are probably exceptions to the rule though.


  • I just had my halfling bard/rogue die from a fist bump.

    Homebrew ofc, but one character got gauntlets that on hit had a 1% chance for insta-kill (percentile die). Upon entering boss fight they fist bump my character and the DM tells him to roll. Gets a MF 100 and turns my Lil guy to ash. It was amazing and hilarious.










  • I had always assumed that Hunter-Gatherer societies were very loosely sex divided and strongly necessity based. Meaning, sure men could be the typical hunter and women the typical gatherer but if necessity dictates, any person would do any job, and, given the times, that was probably frequently.

    Furthermore they also likely didn’t have societal structures the way modern societies did, meaning people likely weren’t barred from any job or forced into any job, it was a community effort for survival, if you meet a criteria that can help, you do that.

    These are not factual statements, these are just my assumptions on how I figured they reasonably existed.


  • I’ve gone twice, the first time, it was awesome! I was with two friends, we roamed and checked out basically every street. I even got to put a lock on the lock bridge for my partner at the time. Everyone was friendly and 2 of us spoke French so that helped a ton.

    The second time I went was a few years after. The terrorist attacks had happened and the experience was not as great. The Eiffel tower is now gated and patrolled, you need had to get in lines and wait to get up close. They also had taken down the lock bridge (I was still with the same partner). It was still a good experience for sure, the vibe was different though.

    Paris at night is beautiful, though remember that it is still a city, so treat it as such.
