Cool. Been on Pop!_os for a year or so. Not memorable issues. Plays games fine.
Microsoft should be broken up. Even if they walk back some of their AI slop, they’re too big. They don’t fail like they should for releasing a bad product.
This joke is why I will say to DMs getting railroad-y, “are you sure you wouldn’t rather write a book?”
I’m ready for that style of language to be passé. But probably the next slang will also be unpleasant.
No disagreement here.
I realized when reading one of the other comments that my similarly sized complaint is it creates a lot of potential for problems at the game level as well as narrative when people make their characters in isolation. I kind of assumed that comes packaged with “and you all meet in a tavern”.
Like, everyone makes a fighter and shows up to session 1. The dm’s going to have a head scratcher thinking about balance, and some players might be annoyed they don’t really have a niche of their own. A weird party like that can work, but it’ll be a happier experience if folks talk about it ahead of time.
It can work, as clearly shown by your rather wholesome example and many people’s games. But it’s also leaving a very large surface area for problems. Unlike real life, you can just avoid that by making your characters together.
Maybe I should have said in my previous thread that while the “you all meet for the first time” is kind of cliché, there are more serious problems at the game level. And like it can work if everyone makes a fighter, but you can also make everyone’s lives easier if you discuss up front.
They don’t care about the snow. They care about getting people mad at their enemy. The post, and conservatives more generally, are bad,. dishonest, people.
I think the best game I’ve done started as “it’s a DND world and you’re a band on tour”.
It started with a simple “the bridge is out on the way to your next show”, then there was a battle of the bands, a sketchy record label, and then the players organized a recall of the mayor that was in bed with the capitalists. That game went great places.
Yeah I don’t think I would happily play another “and then you all meet for the first time and work together” game unless it was like intentionally subverting the trope. It adds so many problems and suspension of disbelief problems.
Not sure if the person who made this site is joking, stupid, or evil. Or some combination
Yeah I think DND 3e had some wacky stuff with templates. Big effective level penalties if I recall for most of them
I don’t understand how my coworkers are using windows. Like, they routinely have issues where it randomly reboots or gets sluggish. And it’s just flat out unfit for software development, unless you’re targeting windows specific stuff. They can’t even run our code locally.
Maybe some of the problems are janky security stuff to try to lock it down
Conservatives don’t care about truth or internal consistency. They just want to harm the out-group.
If there’s any justice, everyone who works for Palantir will be lined up next to everyone who worked for ICE.
It goes into your subconscious.
Oh, that’s an idea. Unfortunately my work has no union. Tech is full of rugged individuals.
Is it better to skip work entirely or go and just goof off? Probably the former?
know your rights! All three of them!
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a crime!
Unless it was done by a police man…
The clash from 1982 still timely
I was hoping step 2 was going to be “and then they don’t leave”, but your plan is pretty good too.
I am a few steps removed from his social circle. I’ve never met him, but a few friends of mine have. They all have said he’s a sincerely good person.
Now, that’s just a second hand story from the Internet, but for my part that’s helping me be optimistic about him.
Most of the apps are trashy and don’t optimize for good matches.
At the same time, many users half-ass using them, or deploy a variety of self-sabotage. (No, it’s not that you’re not tall or hot or whatever. It’s more likely your impersonal message didn’t warrant a response)
These two facts together mean a lot of people have truly bad outcomes.
