Whether player characters should be at risk of dying in a campaign can be a controversial subject. In this free article on the Drintera wiki, I share my thoughts on how to have "The Death Talk" constructively and get everyone on the same page.

As has been said elsewhere, this language is an active crime scene. 😅

English adjectives generally follow a specific sequence: opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, and purpose.

For native speakers, changing the order sounds really wrong. For non-native speakers, this must be a pain to remember.

A simple example is “big bad wolf.” If we say “bad big wolf,” it sounds very off.

The machines literally extrude the most statistically mediocre content possible, which is then made worse due to the process of extrusion and alienation from the original artistic context.
