It would be nice to just have a continuous "go find something useful to do" task. I think there's stuff real close to that, but not it explicitly. Otherwise an option to just leave them idle and have them do just... something. Or a fairly good chance of it, probably modified by character traits.

The price to it all would probably boil down to the usual issues of having adventurers and hero types loitering around that aren't being rode herd on. Maybe you tell someone to "just go do whatever" and a couple months later they come back up a few a levels and with a bucket of loot but also there's volcanoes erupting all over one of your provices for... some reason. Or you go looking for them and it turns out they've become the god-king of a fairy village or somethin'.

Idly busy but with a recall period and chance for oddity sounds like something that would really fit the game's design to date, really. The longer you leave them alone, the longer it takes the messenger to find them (or their body), the more likely it is they don't find the hero but they do find a regiment of young half-dragons that look suspiciously like the missing minion, something like that.

Jesus. Your system must be infected with all kinds of shit. Like words. And thoughts.

No, no. Few words, less thoughts. Just MARC records and casually copied goodreads summaries. There's no thinking here, just an endless parade of officially sanctioned data piracy.

Muscle memory is a hell of a drug.

Related to that, I've found out curry powder is actually remarkably good in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I don't know what I was expecting out of mistaking the cinnamon for curry powder, but still better than baseline PB&J wasn't it.

[As far as responses go... well.. I mean this in the most affectionate way possible, but y'all are smartasses. That's not a bad thing; questioning the things in front of you is a good skill to have.

For what it's worth I've had questions like that where the correct answer was black in like... three different classes, iirc. English related with the focus at the time being critical reading, math of some sort I can't recall, and I'm pretty sure something or another related to epistemology or something adjacent to it. Perception or bias or whatever related.

It's applicable to more fields, too -- I could see it used in teaching education as a emphasis question regarding test writing and whatnot, just off the top of my head, 'cause if you had that specific phrasing on something that's not more or less multiple choice, the teacher would be dealing with an issue where they'd have multiple correct answers and might not be expecting it.

Every once in a while something reminds me old cartoons could get pretty goddamn surreal.

I mean, that's fair.

Kinda' surreal beyond that, but they got other sports teams so...

I've not met many that actually go through with tasting, tho'. They smell pretty edible, but everything else about them... less so. So folks mostly don't.

How long until I see a Trump tweet asserting that this is some radical conspiracy by the left to silence him?  Place your bets ladies and gentlemen--

The amount of time it takes to make a dash in morse code, eh? A bold wager!
