If you've never tried mobas like League or Dota (or have and disliked them), try Heroes of the Storm.

The learning curve is not as steep for several reasons, foremost being much simpler in-game progression via talents as you level instead of a shop and that XP is shared for the entire team so there is no "last hitting".

Additionally, teamfights are longer meaning there's more interaction and games are shorter meaning there is less of a time commitment per game. Additionally, the "laning" phase is much shorter than in other mobas, meaning you get to the action faster. Finally, there are different maps with various objective phases that help whichever team takes them win the game (for example, Braxis Holdout has points you must hold that eventually will summon a large wave of Zerg to attack enemies).

No gore tonight but equally horrifying

 

I was sitting at my (work)desk and read online that this mtg deck was doing really good and it looked real fun to play being in my favourite archetype (modern jeskai), but the community name for the deck that had already caught on was Sasuke Uchiha for some reason

 

So I'm sitting at my desk contemplating whether I want to play a deck called Sasuke Uchiha when my sister (who knows nothing about mtg nor naruto) calls me to tell me how disappointed she is that I am playing the Sasuke Uchiha decklist and before I can get a word in she hangs up on me

reported, way too dark for this forum

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I met a domestic-ish raccoon and gave him so food and he washed it.

I've always been able to adjust my sleep schedule in two or three nights at most. I just sort of force myself to go to bed whenever and refuse to get up until 8 (or whatever) hours have passed.

I had a dream last night where I was at my grandmother's house

And she had four cats - two white, one black, and one tabby (IRL she only has the black and tabby) - and whenever I tried to go upstairs to pet the tabby cat (who is super sweet, but hides if guests are over) one of the white cats would jump from the balcony at the top of the stairs down on to me. Then I would wake up.

I had this dream two or three times and got hardly any sleep.

There was a famous study where they tried to make a group of children remember when they got abducted by friendly aliens, and it worked on every single one of them. The study went so well and was so consistent they tried it with adults, letting them remember the time they took an air balloon trip (that they never took).

Sounds interesting. What was that study called?

And an argument in favor of every case with memory erasure (I wouldn't do any of the ones you remember except maybe number two): Consider someone asks you, "would you like superpowers?" and you say yes. They then take you into a time chamber without warning and torture you for ten thousand years, before erasing all memory and trauma of the torture and granting you superpowers. From your perspective, you just got superpowers for free.

All that's different is that in this scenario you know you were tortured.

Also, the memory erasure is effectively sedation - and people agree to have their chests cut open or teeth pulled out all the time, on the understanding that they'll be sedated and won't feel a thing. The benefits of superpowers far outweigh the benefits of most surgeries, so I'd argue it's like an unpleasant surgery.

You are guaranteed to survive in all cases.

I think I'd take 4 and 5, and try to take 1 but I doubt I could get all the way through.

Which ones would you do?

In all cases, we'll say the superpowers are roughly as powerful as spiderman's, though the exact details are unimportant. You are guaranteed to survive in all cases. The powers you get cannot be used to repair or erase any psychological trauma from the torture. You are in a time chamber for the entire period - from the perspective of everyone else, the time the torture happened in never occurred, so you don't have any unexplained disappearances. 

1) Three hours of torture by a KGB expert. You can call for a stop anytime, but if you do, you don't get the powers.

2) Twelve hours of torture by a KGB expert. 

3) Three days of torture by a team of KGB experts.

4) Three days of torture by a team of KGD experts, but your memory of the torture and all trauma from it is erased permanently afterwards.

5) A year of torture by a bunch of demons who will do literally the worst possible, but your memory of the torture and all trauma from it is erased permanently afterwards.

 It makes sense, it's been a whole 3 APs since we've been to Cheliax or Varisia.  One of those places was overdue for a return...

I don't follow Paizo products enough to say for sure, but this feels like sarcasm.
