Went to my local sandwich shop tonight. Guy at the counter was super baked... - sh.itjust.works

I repeated my order twice and still didn’t get what I asked for. Once I got home and took a bite, I realized dude had made me one of the best turkey subs I had ever tasted! It’s like he knew to give me the sandwich I needed, not the one I thought I deserved. I should have never doubted him.

Narrating Travel - sh.itjust.works

Pretty short and sweet, how do you successfully narrate travel between points of interest as a GM without it being all hurky-jerky? I’m imagining attempting to narrate the epic travel scenes in Lord of the Rings, where they travel for days in fast-forward with nothing really interesting happening, only to then suddenly have time reel down to normal when something is about to happen. Every time I try this in a game though it just feels awkward and abrupt, while also clearly indicating to the players that something is going to happen. Is there a way to make this a more smooth and natural transition?

I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x - sh.itjust.works

After seeing that my wireless speeds were much faster than the speeds I was getting over Ethernet, I decided to invest in some new cables. I didn’t know it before, but I saw while I was changing them out that my current cables were Cat 5e. While putting my network together, I had just been grabbing whatever cables I could find in my scrap drawers. Now I have Cat 8 cables and my speeds jumped from 7MB/s to an average of over 40MB/s. It’s a much bigger improvement than I expected, especially for such a small investment.
