It's crazy that they made an emoji for fictional wpreg

Is it? Where does being able to give birth matter when it comes to the social construct of a woman? There are men, specifically trans men, who can give birth. Conflating the ability to give birth being inherently a feature of a woman is trans masc erasure.

It's supposed to read like dialogue.

Being poor disorder.

I think of them like melee cantrips. Not gamechanging, but they add spice to your basic kit and they can synergize really well with what you're good at. One of my favorites is the soul knife rogue's knives having vex. If you hit with vex, your next attack is at advantage against them, so it becomes a new way to proc sneak attack that incentivizes active participation, doesn't penalize you and doesn't rely on the positioning of allies and enemies both.

First, I found melee combat excruciatingly dull in 2014. While it's not super different, the weapon masteries in 2024 add enough crunch and flavor for me to find it far more interesting and fun.

Second, druid is my favorite class in terms of flavor, specifically specializing in wild shape, and '14 is probably my least favorite iteration of it. I think' 24 improves upon circle of the moon immensely regarding mechanics and, even if the list of beasts is smaller, the streamlined design to their attacks makes them feel more potent as more than just a chunk of animal flavored temp HP.

There's also a lot of things that really should have been added earlier as quality of life. Off the top of my head, steady aim for rogues. Tasha adds it for '14 as an optional feature but it really needed to be the default.

Also, cure wounds actually feels potent now. Healers rejoice, you have a reason to use it over the more action and spacing efficient healing word.

We don't know if they were bragging or not. It's pretty common to ask what someone's job is during small talk. For all we know they literally just said their job title and left it at that.

Correct. First one is Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and the second one is Hayley Williams of Paramore. It's a joke because they look vaguely simar in those photos with the way they're dressed and the person that responded took the bait.

This title kinda slaps.

That's the normal size.
