Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
Shhhhhhhhhhh
If I don’t know my master plan, then THEY certainly don’t either!
Also I do intentionally leave some things a bit more vague, with ideas of what I want to do, but I’m hoping the players will start theorizing amongst themselves so I can incorporate their stuff into the game.
It gives them a nice sense of accomplishment to have “predicted” something, and I think they feel more engaged in the campaign.
Or maybe I’m just a bad DM…
I remember seeing so many comments awhile back about how there wasn’t a chance in hell that EON would ever allow someone else to have creative control.
I want to know how much they’re being paid for it, and how much the next highest offer has been, because it has to be a shitload of money.
I will happily shake hands with a pineapple-on-pizza-er, if it means we can make sure this evil never hurts anyone ever again.
I’ll wash my hands afterward, but it’s the gesture that counts, right?
(pls wash your hands anyway, sanitation rulez)
Smort.
I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who’s a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who’s looked into this and already had some things ready to go.
Oh man…
1: RIP to Trevor.
B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.
The jokes write themselves.
Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot speech hits different depending on what you’ve been consuming lately.
It can be quite inspiring, or quite depressing
Every single thing experienced by all 100ish billion humans who ever lived, all their highs and lows, all the people they knew, all their hopes and dreams… Could all be destroyed at the speed of light, and we would never have any way to see it coming, or stop it even if we did.
An asteroid could make the planet inhospitable to all but tiny organisms. A Gamma ray burst could pop off dozens of lightyears away. Coronal mass ejection burns the atmosphere. Rogue planet/black hole. False Vacuum decay could destroy baryonic matter.
Your entire life will be experienced, you live and die, and the universe at large will never even notice.
Some people find that depressing. I find it a little comforting. If nothing we do matters, we have to figure out how to make things matter to us. I uh… I’m still working on that last bit… But it’s a nice thought to me.
Depends on what I’m playing.
I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.
I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.
Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.
The problem is not the price.
The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.
Her logic IS undeniable.
But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don’t believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they’ll prove it to you!
I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.
Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.
"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "
Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”
And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.
I used to hate when this happened to me. Someone reviving a post from ages ago to answer a question that I already found months/years ago.
But hey, it could help someone else in the future if I didn’t go back and post the answer to my own question (spoiler alert: I didn’t) so now I just do what OP does and thank them for their time, move on with my day. Chuckle at the stupidity of my youth.
Some people get angry about things like that. Just be chill, they probably didn’t notice how long ago it was posted.
The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.
That’s it.
I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.
My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…
So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.
I’ve seen escalator mechanisms fail before, I could believe that’s a dual purpose for it (as well as presumably carts or scooters)
Yeah, fuck me for using a cane, I’m such a big fat fatty and want to be fat.
I vaguely remember seeing this exact joke in my geometry book in gradeschool. Probably different illustrator, but still.
Damn, I feel old now.
Both can be true.
I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but… Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie…)
By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.
And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it’s hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.
They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.
So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”
