Daniel, AKA NerdCubed, says some very bizarre things that only half made sense in context to begin with, and get stranger if you take them out of context.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

"And then we can unlock some stuff. I don't remember which way around we have to unlock it, but we can!
Unlock that thing, to unlock the thing, to go through that thing, to unlock more of the thing we're currently in... That's not a _____ unlock system, that's bureaucratic red tape!" -Daniel Hardcastle

Re: Your Favorite Quotes
yes. while i don't mind word removal filters too too much, (ones that reduce the entire word to *s or a black stripe) i've never liked word-substitution filters because instead of removing the offending word they insert gibberish, which more often than not reduces the entire sentence to nonsense.

Re: Your Favorite Quotes
we wanted to discourage swearing. and it worked, you're self-censoring instead of letting the filter do it for you.
(also I believe the nonsense replacements were Rick's idea, it used to just be asterisks)

“If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.”
Dhirubhai Ambani
“People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Tony Robbins
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.”

Re: Your Favorite Quotes
The movie, 'Remember the Titans,' is my favorite movie, staring Denzel Washington. I love the way in this movie the game of football brings those boys together, it unites those boys on that football field. It unites a whole town, black, white, old, young, rich and poor.
Michael Irvin
I love Russell Crowe's line to Oliver Reed in 'Gladiator' where he asks him, 'Are you in danger of becoming a good man?' It's one of my favorite lines ever.
Jonathan Banks
I love films that make me react emotionally and physically when you walk out of the cinema. Two of my favorite films however have got to be 'The Tree Of Life' and 'The Piano Teacher,' which also stars one of my favourite actresses Isabelle Huppert.
Alicia Vikander
I'm just trying to make my favorite music. That's how I work; I just do things based on the way they feel to me. I want to be touched by the music I'm making. Luckily, other people have shared that response to my work over the years.
Rick Rubin
I love watching a good, freaky horror movie. I love it. It's one of my favorite things to do, to go and see at the cinema. Just to tune out and be freaked out.

Re: Your Favorite Quotes
My philosophy professor's so awesome. She's like really good in teaching and said lots of stuff that I'd like to quote from her.
"When you're ready to read, everything is a book."
"Do not be ashamed of your scars. They just prove you are stronger than those who hurt you."
"Love is not blind. Love is just seeing beyond."

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
— Jargon File
All men dream, but not equally; those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible.

“Content is the atomic particle of all marketing across paid, owned, and earned channels. A Culture of Content starts with an obsession of customer.” - Michael Bremmer
“Are you human? Isn’t that the essence of how this online world started, why we love social media, and what people expect if you are going to build trust and loyalty? And yet, this is getting increasingly lost in a world preoccupied with traffic, search rankings and automated marketing software.” - Mark Schaefer
“To please your audience, research their problems & desires, observe their content interactions & iterate.” - Brian Clark
“Marketing (one to many) and sales (one to one) are beginning to use the same techniques of content creation and real-time engagement. The best organizations will not run marketing and sales as separate “departments” but will merge the two functions into one customer facing organization focused on revenue generation.” - David Meerman Scott
“Let’s say you develop 5 resources to help prospects reach an objective. A prospect reads the 2 resources about and solving a specific problem and a case study about a company similar to theirs, but ignores the 3 that take a different perspective. Now you know exactly what type of information will be relevant to entering into a dialogue with the prospect.” - Ardath Albee

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.
Dale Carnegie
The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind.

“When the creative impulse sweeps over you, grab it. You grab it and honor it and use it, because momentum is a rare gift.”
― Justina Chen, North of Beautiful
“If more people understood how nice it is to have a sense of home that extends past our locked doors, past our neighbors' padlocks, to the local food co-op and library, the sidewalks busted up by old trees - if we all held home with longer arms - we'd live in a very different place...
We wouldn't feel so alone, no matter the size of our houses or our bank accounts, no matter whether we had good health or congestive heart failure. We would begin to see that each moment presents an opportunity to relax, to notice that the wind has shifted and a storm is coming, or that our friend's toddler has decided to wear dinner instead of eating it. We would see that each minute counts for something timeless and, if we want, we all can find our way inside these big, tiny, moments.”
― Dee Williams
