God, I miss these dorks, I hope everyone stays safe at home, hopefully these dark times will pass and all of us around the world can go back to a semblance of normalcy.

[@stelmarea]

agreed. since viruses usually wear off in warm weather, the coronavirus will most likely go away around summer or so, so that's something to keep your hopes up for!

[@136jab]

@@stelmarea sure for the Flu, but this is different and it is spreading pretty well in warmer regions. I wouldn't count on it and would prepare buckle down for an extended period if I were you. We can always hope for improvement but I am not expecting life to return to normal for a few months. Fortunately my DnD group has moved to discord and roll 20 so I still get to play my Rogue/Artificer/Wizard half elf on a regular basis. In fact my group has moved up to twice a week since we are all stuck at home anyway and don't have anything better to do.

[@stormsurge9962]

Really hope we get a one shot where they use the Luxon ball or Caleb’s wish to revive Molly and we get to live out his story. Actually, I imagine Caleb’s arc is going to be reviving Molly instead of his parents because he learns the value of trust and friendship with his comrades.

I just love how Sam reclines on his chair and interlocks his fingers right before saying "Zero" with a matter-of-factness of someone who didn't just roll a 0 on a D20.

Pan ahead to a talks in the future, Talks Machina: Discussing C2E80 - The Folding Halls 57:03 --- Tal appears to recall it differently. It must of really came back later on, cause I know its an iconic line, but the fuss certainly didn't start at the original delivery.

“Life does need things to live” Well yes, but, uhhh...

[@Sir_Poohheart]

0:30 Sure, Liam, but when the question you asked was something as blatantly obvious and simplistic as: “How do we know this living thing needs to eat things?” an answer like “Because life needs things to live” is completely appropriate and sufficient. An answer doesn’t need to be more complex than the question asked.
