My party went through a low level campaign and killed a dark mage boss in the same dungeon as a flaming skull. A party me came back for a side story later to take on a a necromancer with a flaming skull for a head. They split and attack from all sides.
“Oh man! We screwed up and sent out potentially deadly food to customers, isn’t this a great opportunity to gather their marketing information?”
Hmm…
So I only use Brave for YouTube. I definitely won’t be recommending it, but I’m torn between whether I’m being a leech of ad-free user generating what should be near zero revenue or if I’m being valuable as a number to ad to user counts.
I used to build my stories out of glass, but my players broke them and it hurt. Now I make them out of clay and we can all build it together.
Aldi’s Clancy’s chips. Name brand are just too greasy for me. Also, I just tried their garlic bread chips and those are dangerous.
The key is that we started by pushing against it and the DM didn’t listen and made us get to the hook of the content before deciding.
Because he didn’t listen when we started trying to ignore it, we had fun we wouldn’t have otherwise had had he stopped when it seemed like we weren’t going to have fun.
Counting ammo creates a vibe. There are tools to get at that vibe without as much hassle, but whatever tool you use, you should be relevant to gameplay.
There also comes a point in the game where the vibe is established, the characters have advanced and you don’t need the tool as much or anymore.
I played in a game called Trudvang where part of the experience was tracking everything using decreasing tracking dice. We kept pushing away from it at first, but our DM enforced it and we had a lot of fun for it. As we leveled up, the tracking was less relevant and the conflict more, so we shifted focus there.
I still remember meticulous food, water, and ammo tracking, desperate health, and having to hunt and forage to keep up stock despite risking troll attacks. We even had to sit down and talk out whether to allow rescued people into our party because we were low on resources and didn’t have much time left before an event.
Tracking ammo on its own is usually meh, but that part of the game tracking everything, while harrowed and desperate, pushing against a time limit? That sticks in my mind.
Came here to say The Locked Tomb is FANTASTIC meme humor and so witty in almost every way. However it’s a series that I’m convinced I’ll never actually understand. I’m on Nona now and things are barely better. Harrow had me second guessing every fact and almost pulling out a cork board, pins, and string to just understand when what happened to whom.
One of my favorite new series, though. And it’s been a delight to buddy read with my wife.
Gold Mario and Gold Kart parts. It started as a self brag (I usually just play solo) then turned into a challenge, then turned into my main. Mainly due to weight and speed.
Petey Piranha and Wiggler have recently shown up as contenders for weight and speed, though, so I might end up trying them more and more.
I’m a few hundred dollars in and I’m actually on my way out thanks to their grossness this spring. I’m too slow to have gone for many modules, but rules books were super fun and thus a money sink. I’m trying to move my group over to PbtA (cheap by comparison) or Genesys (have you seen the cost of those DICE?!).
My wallet is happy I can’t manage to get groups together to play games and justify buying more games. I’m not.
That’s definitely my hope.
It’s less the repaired retail market (which they control on Amazon at least) and more the “I could repair this for cheaper than half of a new phone” lost sales. They’ve been quietly letting that group slip by for years of progressively more expensive to “repair” (read, “swap modules”) while people who could get a basic repair done for cheap are pushed to buy new phones instead.
Same. And Manga too!
70 audiobooks, Manga volumes, and more already this year—All free through my library, and all so much easier to find, categorize, tag, and use than something like Audible.
Every book marketplace I’ve used is focused on selling you what they want to sell you, not what you want to get. Libby just lets me keep track of books on my own terms in my own way. It’s a better experience and through my library. It’s great.
What are the holes that can be poked into this as written? I firmly believe Apple is still against repair that would eat into their new sales. So where does this, as written, give them the room to keep that going?
Is it just that they can continue to make their “screen issue = replace whole top shell of laptop” and similar the default and draw the line there, standardizing high-cost repairs even if it’s just a wire or small component replacement? If they don’t allow ANY standard repairs more granular than swap module for module, they don’t have to provide more granular resources than that. I’m not fully up on what repairs Apple authorizes.
This is definitely a win to some degree, though. But when your opponent goes to your side and draws a line, that always gives me the chills.
That makes a lot of sense! And it’s possible I shared some early super long image issues that resulted in the image size cap. I look forward to watching the process. You guys are doing great work.
I’m sampling lots of different apps and have noticed that, while I prefer a massive chunk of Mlem’s features and style, I often find myself using others like Memmy because they have an option for images to show the whole image while scrolling rather than merely a square preview of it.
I get lots of cut off heads, spoiled meme punchlines, and just all around unclear content while scrolling on Mlem due to this missing option. I absolutely see a rationale or two for it, both on the side of an app encouraging engagement and user preference, so I was curious if:
A. I’m missing something and didn’t have any reason to cheat on my beloved Mlem for unspoiled memes, or B. There are any plans for this as an option in the future.
I’m pleased to see the existing advancements with image viewing, though! And so much else! Thanks for all your hard work!
I use liquid body wash and shampoo. I pour on a hand, lather with both, then clean where needs to be cleaned. I can feel what’s dirty and I’m washing my hands immediately.
Genuinely curious:
Is the author saying that ACO and VBC were decent ideas that got UHG’s fingers grafted into the legal structure, or are they just saying that ACO and VBC are bad in general?
And I knew that we had some awful structures within our healthcare system, but I LOATHE UHG and didn’t realize that they OWN our medical system. Disgusting.
