Existential Comics is a great webcomic about Philosophers and the hi-jinx that occur when they get into conversations.

And the writer has done a series, over time, on Philosophers doing D&D. I know just enough philosophy to find these strangely hilarious.

… you see a Starforged Kickstarter stretch goal announcement about “Web-Based Oracle Dashboard Unlocked!” and you’re momentarily confused as to who’s paying Larry Ellison licensing fees for a gaming aid.

[garrett (Bill Garrett)]

I’m absolutely sure Oracle would like to get paid for it, for literally any value of “it”

And by Named User and processor count, scaled to the size of the starship you’re adventuring in.

“Oh, you say this will be used by both this Margie person and her character Nails? All right, that’s two more seats …”

“And you want to access it on the shuttlecraft as well as the main ship? What OS and platform will that instance have?”

Later christians trying to reconcile Norse mythology/gods by saying that Odin, Thor, that whole bunch, were simply Trojans who fled after the fall of Troy and made their way up north (somehow). And obviously the Trojans were so great that they’d be like gods among men to the backwards northern barbarians.

Because everyone needs to trace their lineage back to the Trojans. Who lost the war.

[garrett (Bill Garrett)]

Sounds like some Trojan horseshit
