Hym "And obviously I'm nt here to claim that the magic leaf is like a panacea. Like, I'm obviously not claiming that the meaning you place in a Leaf with actively do whatever you want and like cure cancer or bring back the dead. But you if you have a lucky coin... And if WHEN YOU GAMBLE... You win more frequently when you have it and less frequently when you don't. It is a lucky coin. And even if you say it's a coincidence... The probability that you only win more frequently when you have the coin is still compounded on top of the probability of the game itself. Which would, again, make it a lucky coin. There are obviously upper limits to what it can do and obviously there is no way to make the coin lucky with a perfect degree of accuracy."

Conceived in conversations about possible personal blog names in September 2002 at the early stage of now defunct startup "Text America" (2002-2006), Psychic Plague Panacea got a double take and immediate thumbs up from our consultant. The expert turned out to be far too expensive and left the next day, but the name was finally given to shawnblog.com when the site moved to tumblr.com after the startup (Text America) finally and miserably failed.

Spawning initial public awareness of the shocking and awful anti-Radiohead movement, shawnblog.com was featured on the tumblr.com home page and subsequently became popular enjoying higher technorati and Google rankings than far more influential web sites. The blog is, of course, mostly nonsense and should not be taken seriously, only very loosely representing the moments in the stream of consciousness of it's author.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
