I'm going to second the other commenter in my enthusiasm for GURPS, but for the opposite reason.

Gurps has the problem of being a universal role-playing system, like Fate, which means session zero includes a long sit-down with your DM about what precisely we will be doing in this game and what mechanics we will be using to create the desired experience. You then fill out the appropriate forms in triplicate to create your character. Usually, your DM makes a template for you to use like a shopping list, but the rulebook assumes you are digging through the first 300-page volume selecting your abilities and skills over the course of a day.

Then, once you start playing, you never have to look at the rulebook again. All the rules you will be using were written (by you) on your character sheet. You roll the dice, see if you managed to roll under your target numbers, and then either succeed or fail. The DM barely has to adjudicate anything.

My fiancée asked me to do an easy, mindless task of downloading all the CC for her sims. I tried to explain this to her, and she didnt believe me until she saw that an hour of it reduced me to tears

Ah, yes, the speed chair

Back when I was dependant on caffeine to a concerning extent, I would turn my unused coffee into ice cubes so I could chill my coffee with coffee

I am willing to bet she already has some plan in place, she just might need help executing it when the time comes.

I don't remember this part of Deltarune

Don't worry, I get it. That's partly why I commented here. Ive been kinda hoping someone would chime in and tell me about a browser that can block ads and sync with your phone without being, you know, chromium.

Brave. It blocks all the ads and syncs with my phone. That's all I want. I like using Librewolf more (with uBlock Origin) but it doesnt sync with my phone so I can't really use it as a daily driver

Personally, I think best of all time is the Shields system from Duel Master.

Each player puts five cards from the top of their deck face-down at the start of their game; these are their Shields. Whenever a player takes damage, one of their Shields breaks and goes into their hand. Many cards would have "Shield Trigger" effects that would allow them to be played after entering your hand this way. Some, such as Holy Awe, could turn the tide of the match.

HOLY AWE//Shield Trigger(When this spell is put into your hand from your shield zone, you may cast it for no cost.)//Tap all your opponent's creatures in the battle zone.

Explanation: When a Byzantine Emperor was deposed, they would be mutilated in some way. Justinian managed to get another term after being deposed, so to hide that his nose was lopped off he wore a gold nose
