Turn Undead's verbal component is "Shitty Bullshit Skeletons", a very mean cover of the classic Halloween song

[y0ud0ntkn0wwh0]

Shitty, bullshit skeletons  Are shitters, scum, and slime  Stupid skulls to mock and bully  Fuck them up tonight

Shitty, bullshit skeletons  That shriek like such a bitch  They’ll shake and shudder in surprise  When you turn this fucking lich

I’m not sorry, skeletons, your jokes are not so good You want to fucking socialize? (Go drown in fucking mud.)

'Cause shitty, bullshit skeletons  Shout stupid fucking things  They’ll say plural “sarcophagus” Is “sarcophagoging”

Spirits supernatural are dumb, and that’s a plus But osteo-reanimae are all also a wuss

Stupid, bullshit skeletons Aren’t mean; they’re fucking dicks They’ll grab you by your hyoid bone  And throw you in the Styx

Sticks and stones may break their bones  But we shall break their pride Cause stupid, bullshit skeletons  Will run and fucking hide!

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

let's call it a day

Due to THE INCIDENT at the local wizard academy, the city has been flooded with frogs that turn anyone they touch into frogs. It's the party's job to clear out the frogs and recover the citizens. Good luck figuring out which is which!

"the early 2010s were better" no they weren't. "hey soul sister" was on the radio.

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another
