thing i'm trying atm: if you wouldn't spend £2 on that video/podcast/whatever, maybe you don't need to watch it.

the main advantage of smoking is all of the tar. as we all know, tar was powerful enough to defeat the dinosaurs. by inhaling it, you gain some of its strength. this is why vaping will create weaklings, allowing the gauls to conquer rome and ending western civilisation.

death nuts is really upsetting, great work
i hereby sentence you to kill. i mean death. sentence you to death. haha, sorry, first day nerves! anyway
I humbly suggest The Prodigy as an alternative
tbc i do actually like using physical tokens for shit like this. i just have Feelings about it being considered rules or innovation or anything. nothing is new, a lot of people put the work in for you to be clever etc
if Violence had something like "whenever you take an injury take a red dice from the Blood Pool" i'd have paid off my mortgage by now also if it wasn't free ig
