That... is a very...VERY BAD IDEA.

Billionaires have enough money to survive an economic crash without batting an eyelid. Do you?

My problem with it is not monetizing; it is the changing of your monetization to affect games that were sold under a different model. If this was just the new TOS, ok fine. It would suck, but it's their right to make whatever shitty monetization they want. But retroactively inflicting this on games? Shocking the development world with only a few months warning when game development takes years? No, that is not ok.

Maybe, but most prediction based jobs have a middling success rate.Missing this big is always significant, but not catastrophic in this case.

I've been doing this for a while, so I've got old modules saved in my head. I also know generally what is required to run a successful one. What I would personally do is say "Yeah, sure. But I'll need a bit to get ready. Give me 30 minutes." I would then use a tool like 5etools to whip up a bunch of pre-generated characters and hand them out. If I had my printer handy, I'd print them. Then I'd run them through something like the Delian Tomb that Matthew Colville made (https://youtu.be/..._), a simple orc or bandit raid on a town, or whatever else I thought was cool in the moment.

I hope that helps. I've been DMing for over ten years now and playing for almost twenty, so Idk how well my technique would work for you.

Oh... Oh that is beautiful. Just chef's kiss

Only a Death-Eater uses absolutes.

Why? Why do they make so few small phones? We have the tech, and people like me really prefer it over the behemoths of the modern day. WHYYYYYYY?

EDIT: That gif came out WAY bigger than I expected. Apologies to your eyes, my friends.

Strange. Works fine on PC. Sorry, man.

True. Social shaming is a very effective tool against this stuff. I draw a hard line at laws that stop it, but I see your point.

I'm supposed to pay them so that they can make more money off me? Uh... No. No, I'm good.

Came her to say this. Literally riding on the hot air from a big fire.

Sure, bud. You do that.

I've grown so used to the companions falling in love with within a week in every RPG that I don't even notice anymore. Personally, I legitimately like Shadowheart. I've tried the Karlach romance, and she wasn't doing it for me. Dunno why. Lae'zel has more going on than I gave her credit for at the start, but Shart is still my girl.

A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.

• Alexis de Tocqueville

If people vote for their own chains in a free and democratic society, they deserve to get what they want. Now whether we still have such a society is debatable. But I still fundamentally believe that any and all forms of censorship are the wrong way to go and will only accelerate the decline into totalitarianism.

So, how about we agree to disagree, mate? ; )

There should never be legal consequences for it. I am absolutely for everyone and anyone to be able to say as much racist, sexist, homophobic or what-have-you crap as they want. BUT I agree that the social consequences should be allowed to thrive. Act like a jerk; people are jerks right back. Act like an absolute piece of shit; guess how people treat you? I think that all this sabre rattling about censoring hate speech is just driving the attention-whores into the public forum, not because they actually hate the people they say they do, but because they're attention whores.

I have built my own PC in the past. That may be the best option again, though I was hoping to avoid it. It's quite a lot of work. Given my priorities though, it may be the best option.

AI isn’t the only game in town, as this is also a traditional OS update with the usual quality of life improvements. There’s finally native support for RAR and 7-zip file formats, so you can get rid of those third-party archiving apps.

LMAO It just hit me that Windows STILL did not have native ways to do this. We've been using .rar for 30 years and for this whole time, Microsoft never released their own utility for opening them until now. Wow.

EDIT: Mb. I meant to say the .rar files. I have corrected my comment. It's still ridiculous, though.

Hmm... Can't tell if you're agreeing or sarcastically and incorrectly pointing out a logical fallacy. If you agree, cool. If not:

The Slippery Slope fallacy is only a fallacy if one posits that the future events MUST happen as a result, not that they are likely to. If I take a step further down a literal slippery slope, I am more likely to fall but not guaranteed. If you start using hardcore drugs, you are likely to get addicted and lose a lot of money but again, not guaranteed.

That this would set a dangerous precedent is not a slippery slope argument in the slightest. Courts frequently have to bear in mind the legal precedent of their actions because once you do something, its easier the next time. That is fact, not conjecture. It is easier to ratchet down on a freedom that is already jeopardized. No conjecture involved there. No slippery slopes involved. If we allow some speech to be censored, it becomes easier to censor other types of speech.
