God, I hate hot after page 1. All I get when I’m browsing all and not logged in is the lemmit bot.

This is when they implement the backdoors that britain is requiring. /s

I hear some people enjoy that particular fashion statement.

Supposedly gaben has threatened to release code in a death switch that would make every steam user able to play their games without phoning home.

I know that I would never buy another game if steam went down the toilet. Piracy was fun when I was a kid, and I bet it could be fun again.

Ah, dungeon. Meshi.

So that means everyone goes to heaven, right?

I always recommend reading the whole thing, because the work is incredible, but as to the ‘oopsie’ of manslaughter, it’s nice to read some of the theory behind it: https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=185 (edit, oh god, the april fools thing is horrible. I’m sorry in advance)

As for the parachute thing, most of the time the cause of the accident is the skydiver. https://www.uspa.org/searchincidentreports It also makes a lot of sense to look closely at the manufacturers/inspectors/dropzone operators, because otherwise a lot of shit could get swept under the rug as just random occurrences. As in engineering, we must examine where we can fix what went wrong. I can understand the frustration that the process often is entangled with the courtroom, but if a jury, presented with evidence and arguments by both sides, comes to the conclusion that one party was injured due to another’s actions and restitution is deserved, who the fuck are we to gainsay that? I’m aware of many times where the “random unavoidable small chance of statistical failure rates” is settled on as the cause and there isn’t a settlement paid. Even talking about removing someone’s ability to seek remedy from the courts is an action that should be looked at with no small amount of suspicion.

Fair enough, but I think as long as you don’t let it extend to where players are trying to do things that they shouldn’t with their actions, encouraging them to describe their character flicking a sword around the opponent’s shield strap is encouraging them to engage with the scenario in a different way than just seeing stat numbers listed on a square.

I also think that the reactions in combat are exactly what you should be after. I love seeing a player take the ‘nontactical’ move that isn’t what they designed it to do (so a rushing charger kill everything in one hit character taking a shielding action).

Fate is probably my favorite system I’ve played. It’s somehow got this magic that lets people really jump into scenes and their characters that other more crunchy systems don’t.

I like the concept of RP, but man do some groups struggle to pull it off. I also (don’t lynch me) think that combat should be an RP experience. That could be my love for certain systems where you get bonuses for good, accurate descriptions and not simply, “I roll. I hit. I do X damage.”

Right? I make one groan in the office because I’m aching due to food poisoning, and it’s like I just emailed the entire floor to come make comments about me acting as if I’m dying.

It was more like, “Hey, two people said they aren’t going to come, so Y is bringing his friend X to fill in at least one spot.”

Last group I joined had ‘interviews’ and it still didn’t keep that one guy out… because an exception was made for a friend. One friend, and the whole group fell apart about a year in when he started doing racist caricatures. It’s downright infuriating how common it is that just one exception does it in.

You know what the worst part of that is? The sellers make bank from the idiots buying. I met two people the other day who left their jobs as aerospace engineers because selling the online supplements increased their income by 6-7 times.

One of the scripts running on that page is squarespace, so I wonder if the artist just grabbed a preconfigured ‘blog’ style.

Squid. They’re much more social than octopodes. I for one welcome our new TEN tentacled overlords. Everyone knows ten tentacles is better than eight.

If there’s a jesus with powers in the first place, he could do the holy spirit thing that happened after his death where the apostles proselytized by speaking in languages they (previously) couldn’t to people who couldn’t understand the native tongue.

Sailboat, Caribbean, and all the food and sunsets in between as long as I can make it last. Maybe I’ll end it by heading straight at a hurricane, or maybe I’ll just try my luck at getting to Europe. It would be amazing to get to Gibraltar under sail from the Caribbean.
