There was part of a rose stem in the dishwasher. Section a bit longer than thumb length.

Like.

I get the occasional tea bag? And all the knives pointing up instead of down, just waiting for a moment of inattention (Yes, the person has been bled by that before. No, they put literally nothing else pointing upwards except things that can slice flesh. I take it back, no, I don't get it, but I can accept it.). Other person that puts stuff in there is kinda' absentminded about that kind of thing, and has been putting stuff in dishwashers longer than I've been alive, so some muscle memory is expected.

But.

This is a thorny plant stem. Jammed in with the silverware. I don't understand. Is this a trap card? Is my exodia dead now? Why? Why has part of a rose bush been put through a wash cycle with the things we eat with?

E: Go figure, now that I look beyond the plant matter, it turns out the only knife in that batch of dishes that wasn't a health and safety risk, was in the same partition as the stem. Where's jackie chan when you need him ;_;

Why carmine cleaver though?

Maybe the fire shield effect? If you've got access to carmine cleavers, though, you've almost certainly got access to charcoal shields, too, so if you're after that you'd want a brand (or whatev') and the shield instead...

Still, path and gem limitations are a thing, and the carmine is fire shield plus some AoE (via heat) for a little less than a firebrand+charcoal shield (2f1e vs 3e2f, gem wise, so 15 vs 25). Maybe that's all they could manage?

Also pictured: Why we have unions :V

Ah... isn't Mario actually good though?

S'not a matter of whether it's good or not, s'a matter of whether they're milking the thing fairly hard and doing it for a very much extended period. There aren't many game franchises still around that are older and more consistently produced than Mario ones, and it's been doing sequels and whatnot probably longer than many of CoD's developer teams have been alive :V

Yeah, thinking about it. Probably going to give it a shot in the morning... any that's within an hour or so's drive is all closed. Can't hurt to at least ask.

I think the book publishing industry had a small headstart over the video game industry.

That's no excuse! Devs gotta' learn t'step harder, yo'.

...they're still making those books? Whose been writing them?

Apparently the same sort as what had been writing them; the things have been largely ghost-written since their inception.

... I had thought the hardy boys had stopped publishing new stuff a while back, but actually looking at it. No, no, they're still producing. Have changed series titles a few times, but those damned things have apparently been churning out almost non-stop since goddamn 1927. Bloody hell. Friggin' things are older than my grandparents.

But... anyway. There's new stuff, too, I'm just not quite sure what they all are.
