I'm right there with you, I grew up with the Greatest Hits album my dad had and always loved listening to it.

The title is pretty funny out of context though lmao

While Meta and the people it'll bring with it is something I want to avoid, I gotta respect it when a massive company is willing to adopt an open standard they're not in control of.

Met a friend online that's from Sweden, but didn't learn that fact for a few months. Until then I would've thought they grew up near me, there was no discernible accent.

The specific details aren't important, but yeah. A lot less HP than can survive 10d10 damage.

They're introducing the BBEG to a level 1 party, so that barbarian probably only has around 10 hp

I play using a VTT so everybody sees what the results are immediately. No telling it to them gently when the troll crits three times during the fight.

Dudes wearing Oakley's and Fox Racing hats would be saying they're better than you because you don't work 22 hour days.

Does your opinion change regarding outdoor cats in a rural situation, like a farm?

I don't tend to use a lot of house rules, and what I do are usually additive then changing some rule. In one of my Traveller games I added a Luck Point system, where if somebody rolled double ones on a skill check they got a Luck Point. Then after another skill check they could spend a point to reroll. You can't spend more than one point on a roll, but more than one person can spend a point on a single skill check to reroll it again. It's been great for player engagement, and has lead to some really fun moments as everybody scrambles to check if they have any points to spend on an important roll. Another one I use in my Traveller games is I added an Overwatch action. Inspired by the Xcom games, you can spend your action on your turn to keep your gun trained on a specific area, and if anybody moves through that area you get a free shot.

I also recently started playing Pathfinder 2e, and though in keeping it rules as written, especially as I learn the system, I have made it so that the party can only level up if they're in Downtime mode, to encourage my players to actually make use of Downtime.
