I don’t think it’s weird. It’s just an item from your childhood that you’re attached to for emotional reasons. A lot of people have one of these - be it a blanket, a plushie, a toy, a videogame, a necklace or some other piece of jewellery, etc…

They might remind you of your childhood, or maybe of the person who gifted it to you or someone else whom you knew at the time. I don’t see anything wrong with having attachment to your memories.

When I was 5, my parents gifted me an owl-shaped cushion. That same cushion is still on my bed over 20 years later. Looking at it brings back memories of my childhood, and it has this soft, short “fur” which reminds me of the dog I had back then, whom I miss very dearly. Touching makes me feel like my dog is still with me somehow :)

I wish techbros would stop shoving AI into literally every existing app. Even frickin’ Windows’s Notebook has Copilot integration now.

What the fuck would I want to use Muskrat’s AI in a messaging app whose whole shtick is its privacy features? Fuck Musk and fuck everything associated with him.

I wonder if any of the original devs were involved with this release. In any case, saving a game from eternal oblivion after all those years deserves praise!

You can’t fight fascism on the marketplace of ideas. The moment you sit at the table to talk, they spring up and punch you in the face.

Limiting circulation of fake news, holding those who spread it accountable, and forcing social networks to moderate their platform if they want to operate in the EU, should be the priority.

First France, now Germany. Seems Europe (at least some of us) has decided it won’t sit idly and let far-right extremists burn us to the ground.

Although these are all provisional fixes. The true solution would be to get the people to ditch these idiots, and to do that, we need to fight disinformation and far-right propaganda on social media. Democracy can’t survive if the voting base is too ignorant to choose its leaders.

I’m so happy for the shareholders!

Don’t mind me in the background, roleplaying as a pirate

Thank you very much!

There’s some power asynchronicities, like with having the dragon patron, and an inventory full of magic trinkets to full heal every short rest

Can I ask what you mean by this? The dragon patron bestows temp hp after a long rest, depending on the amount and rarity of attuned magic items. It doesn’t interact with short rests and, even with three high-rarity attuned items, it’s at most 30 temp hp only.

Am I missing some weird interaction here? I’d gladly patch that up if you could be a bit more specific.

May I suggest cross-posting to [email protected]

Half of these seem written by AI.

• You can take this feat to choose one spell from this list and cast it once per short rest. Or, you know, you can pick Wish. I’m sure that won’t break your game.
• You can cast Hunter’s Mark on a creature to remove its invisibility! Too bad you must see the creature you cast Hunter’s Mark on
• You are now a prodigious scribe, so you can cast Comprehend Languages and modify its effect to create a glyph on a creature (?) that slows down creatures who try to get near that first creature (???). Why isn’t this a new spell in the first place? What does it have to do with Comprehending Languages or being a scribe?
• You can do the same thing with Shield too, for some reason. Wait for a creature to hit you, then you can slow it down, so that it’s incentivized to… Keep hitting you? The thing that it was already doing in the first place?
• I’m having so much fun imagining the Cartographer hugging six creatures tightly while holding and using their Cartography Tools to create a map for each of them.
• The Cartographer can also pull a Voldemort: create a bunch of maps, hide them wherever they want, and never ever ever lose concentration again. Not sure if it’s intended, but the entire document is so poorly worded that it may as well be…

I was kind of disappointed by it, to be honest. It’s PDK in name only, it’s more of a revamped Drakewarden. Which, honestly, is cool as fuck and I’m happy that it’s finally playable, but I’m sad that it had to replace the PDK instead of being its own subclass.

Maybe I’m biased because I love the PDK so much that I homebrewed my own version and I’ve been playing it for two years in our campaign lol

A politician from one of the modern countries that still imprisons people for lese-majesty wants to end social media anonymity? Sounds like a great idea!

Some of the readability updates (monster location, possible loot, ability scores and initiative bonus) are cool.

The stat blocks themselves, though, retain the usual problem, imo. These monsters are not up to par with a party of their level. The CR6 cyclops has no legendary resistances, for example, in a game where every martial character forces a saving throw on a hit with the newly introduced weapon masteries.

They also removed some flavour from the stat blocks. The dragon doesn’t make claws/bite/tail attacks, for example, but generic “rend” attacks.

However, Tintin remains under copyright in the EU until 2054.

What the fuck, EU? Since when you’re shittier than the US?

Copyright shouldn’t last more than one hundred years, ffs.

Louisiana was the first state to pass an ID law like this. When it happened last year, Pornhub complied. It said its traffic fell 80 percent in the state. “These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don’t ask users to verify age, that don’t follow the law, that don’t take user safety seriously, and that often don’t even moderate content. In practice, the laws have just made the internet more dangerous for adults and children"

Terminator was almost correct. The real terminator will be Arnie walking around in a fursuit.

I’ll be back. UwU

Electing Trump the first time was the equivalent of Brexit.

Electing him twice is the equivalent of setting your own home on fire, walking back inside while the house is still burning and taking a nap, hoping that the flames will only destroy your neighbour’s house.

I use Fossify Clock and I’m having the same problem.

You hate it because of the internet

I hate it because I’m Italian

We are not the same

This is great advice. There’s so much content to enjoy from the past 20+ years that I don’t feel the desire to immediately buy the new thing. You can usually get it for far cheaper down the line.

There are communities such as PatientGamers for videogames that preach exactly this.
