Lords: Ben https://twitter.com/KosmologyB Tyriq https://twitter.com/FourbitFriday Topics: Which real life occupations are the closest thing to actual Adventuring? And would you want to do any of them? Getting a tattoo has somehow motivated me to be healthier It's weird that some instruments you play with your hands and others you put in your mouth The Mushroom Hunters https://www.themarginalian.org/2019/11/25/the-mushroom-hunters-animation-neil-gaiman/ Discovering how much butter and sugar is in your common or garden cake has filled me with sheer horror A public call to action for the creation of Violence/Threat Jazz as a genre Microtopics: The collection of music songs that you put on the internet last year. The Citizen Sleeper trailer. Managing a game's Steam store page. The conversations you don't have. Adventuring as it is conceived of and perceived. Going into the field and being exposed to health hazards. Rock climbing and its relationship to speed running. All the big parts of the world having been discovered already so you need to be satisfied with discovering tiny parts. The difficulty of spending a lifetime rock climbing when you don't enjoy rock climbing. Whether being sent off to war feels or ought to feel like an adventure. Lockdown tattoos. The uncle who convinced you to get an eyebrow ring. Designing a tattoo so that it still looks right if the recipient suddenly gets swole. The Clean and Jerk. Compressing yourself inwards as you hit the ground. The idea of caring about your appearance. Looking in the mirror and feeling good about yourself. A portion of meat that is ruining your aesthetic. Your full-sleeve Gigantamax Meowth tattoo. Ark from Terranigma. A tattoo of a goat because you love goats a lot. Putting pictures on your body and looking cool. Going full body-mod in your old age. A Rotom right up there in your armpit. Walking around looking like a JRPG character with an asymmetrical pauldron. The right torso for me. Bone tattoos that are just for you because nobody can see your bones. Waiting until you are 80 years old for eyeball tattoo technology to get safer. Screaming higher and higher until you take a shower. Airflow and handflow. Licking a musical instrument that makes noise when it's wet. Chromatic spittoon virtuosos. Melody Pops. How to survive long car trips before portable video games. Lollipops you could write with. Chocolate cigarettes wrapped in rice paper. Rebranding your offensive children's cigarette brand to "Fads." The formulation of laws to follow facts revealed. Food Tasters. One king left and so much food to eat. Why so much fiction is so obsessed with royalty. Cracking a nut in your brain. The moon's excellent product placement. Cakes for people to jump out of. How to marble a cake. The butter iceberg. The inside scoop behind all the drama. The Sharks and the Jets snapping at each other. The dude in Mad Max Fury Road playing a flaming guitar on top of a moving truck. Where to see Ben's cats.
