PETRA IS THE HYPE!

Hendenicholas

It’s how he learns to be a goblin shaman(ka?) and is finally able to learn how to focus blasts!

Or, you know, teaches the shamankas the recipe and they do it for him in return.

May Gork and Mork smile on you!

(What's the quadruped mek on the left? It looks really cool.)

Hendenicholas

I AM THE HYPE!

Zog it, wrong subreddit, sorry!

Hendenicholas

Hounds of Tindalos don’t mess around…

Check out "The Last Human" by PS Hoffman. Slow reveal of where all the creatures came from and where humanity went.

Casual DC fan here but can you explain this a little? Where is there evidence of what the plant can do?

I'd kinda argue that her dungeon ending is just her ending up where she's called to be. She's swapping bio-moulding for mech (and you can't tell me didn't load those suckers to the gills in an enhancement zone) and after what she's been through pre-Collapse, there's no way she's not going to kick the butt/tail/flipper/worm...thing of anyone who messes with the littles.

In my head, she's a pregnant guardian of the pregnant, unborn, children, and childless. Mecha-Hestia who's going to choke out Eileithyia with her bear bare hands at the pivotal moment.

Like when Spider-Man _isn’t_ cracking jokes. All the villains suddenly decide to take a vacation.

Are there any other examples of Batman actually laughing around villains besides the “Joker and joke about escaped insane asylum”?

So long as their in class grades are equally crappy, there should be no real surprise, right? Right?

Hendenicholas

It's up there with the "no more warm hugs!" rant and the "what. the. actual. fuck. Carl?" achievement for me. Hayes is a damn virtuoso and those lines just shine.

Union rep here. If you’re comfortable, an email follow-up along the lines of “my takeaway from this conversation was X, is that correct” will usually get them to back the hell up or to put it in writing.

Depends on the strength of your union.

Do you have any brand/model suggestions for a total newbie?

Hendenicholas

To paraphrase one news anchor:

They’re cadaverific!

Hendenicholas

First off, I’m really sorry your prop got trashed.

But on the table-level, here’s a great chance to hook the crew for exploration. Maybe the map is old IG and they’re hired to explore to see what’s still accurate. Maybe they’re on their last legs and heading for a safe Pirate Bay and it turns out to be overrun with zombies while it’s holding the supplies they need to survive to get elsewhere. Maybe the map is salvaged from a captured pirate ship after the captain attempted to destroy it and it turns out the crew’s benefactor is actually a government agent and they have to pick between pirate and privateer.

You know what, I'll assume this comment is in good faith.

How about we go with the literal, absolute, limbo-in-hell lowest bar: follow state law and ensure student attendance and the legal consequences for lack thereof.

One of the best lines from Louie is where he talks about Carl’s eyes getting wilder and wilder every time they see him and it scares the crap out of everyone.

Respectfully, these are professional opinions crafted over 25 years of teaching. My job is to help students build skills based on my subject matter, not to encourage misuse of a theft and plagiarism machine.

My personal feelings on AI aren't fit for a polite subreddit.

Hendenicholas

Let's leave aside the ecological, financial, and sociological problems that come with AI.

Cognitive offloading to AI, even for "brainstorming" and such, is a significant problem in schools and the world around us. If the kid is sitting there for 20 minutes then an example of either lack of assistance or it's weaponized apathy. Ask a friend, ask classmate, ask a teacher.

Hendenicholas

I’m pretty sure at least one of my 30 minute videos clocked in around 4 hours because I kept forgetting to go back to the tab.

Hendenicholas

Unfortunately, the principal and VP are both pushing for more AI garbage in classroom so they can dump even more work on teachers. I want nothing to do with it.

Hendenicholas

100% going as Chromebook free as administration will allow this year.

Unfortunately admin want 100% Chromebook and AI usage so we shall see.

Hendenicholas

That’s kinda what I told myself and my wine glass

Hendenicholas

That’s a significant plan for me but does anyone have suggestions for take home or students with extended time? I had several students last year literally print out the AI result and hand copy it.
