this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby
HEY @nasa WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! IM CRYING SHE WAS DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB???!?!?!?!?!!!!!! IM GOING TO MARS AND BRINGING HER A BUNCH OF BATTERIES AND BLANKETS I LOVE HER SO MUCH
She was actually covered in dust and they tried for over a year (she got hit with a dust storm last year) to get responses but she never responded. She was so strong! she and her sister Spirit were only supposed to last 90 days…she was launched in 2004! 15 years! Get rest Oppy; maybe one day we’ll be up there and fix you up.

they didn’t abandon her!! they tried eight months to reach her!!!! as their last farewell to her yesterday they played her “I’ll be seeing you” by Billie Holiday:
When the DM says something like “The room appears to be empty” or “so you touch the object?”
Fun DM tip: always do that. Even if it really is empty or nothing will happen. Really helps curb meta gamming and can get some funny reactions. My favorite is asking how they open the door or asking “so you just stand in front of it and open it normally” then suddenly they’re trying to describe a totally abnormal way of opening a door that doesnt involve them being in front of it
niko thats mean
When my players roll a bad perception check I like to say, “there *seems* to be nothing there.” Especially if there is actually nothing there.
one time my players spent like an hour trying to figure out how to open an unlocked door because they kept pushing instead of pulling.
