Lots of great tips here, but one that works pretty well for my group, is to think of myself less as an actor playing a character, and more like a narrator. Which is to say, I'll often describe the actions and/or thought process of my character before saying what I think they'll say (in my normal voice).

This is easiest for mages since cantrips like Prestidigitation become powerful roleplaying tools, but even something like holding a Fire Bolt in the air over the person you're trying to intimidate can have an interesting affect on the mood of the scene.

Up to now, you've been following the track your society has laid out for you, growing and building yourself into a useful and civilized adult. Unfortunately, this where the tracks end.

No one will blame you if you fall into the perpetual cycles of materialism and let the world grind you up in exchange for occasional pleasure of increasingly empty quality.

The only escape I have encountered is to find something that calls to you, and to treat it as more important than yourself. The hard part about that is that other people, your friends and family and strangers online, who do not themselves worship the same, will criticize your choice. And you'll have to decide which you can afford to do without.

Anyone had a chance to try this out yet? Wondering if the time/energy cost of putting down the controller to manage another app has actually translated into a more fun experience vs just trying to find things manually.

Cute! Though I am a bit sad to see them separate mice from rats.

Also, I'm wondering what the theme is for adventures this time, since they don't seem to have the same plot type structure as the previous set.

Do you mean to say, that food bonuses do not stack with equipment after you max out a bonus on one side?

Tried it out, but apparently it still is only using 3.5. Does anyone know of a good AIssistant app using gpt4 or something stronger?

Wonderful. What is your wife going to do with pounds of frozen chopped tomatoes? Perhaps a pasta sauce base?

Y'all seem to have reached an impasse here in the realm of pure morality, so lets try something a little more grounded (and surely less controversial!) Political application. I won't even slippery slope, I promise.

Lets suppose your favored political party has gained power (however briefly) and is able to push through legislation banning the consumption of any media depicting an immature person in a sexual context, regardless of whether it involved an actual child.

What would enforcement look like? You can't simply follow the traffickers or CPS reports, as criminals could simply create the media for themselves on a private harddrive (say by drawing a picture or writing erotica) so law enforcement would need some way to investigate any citizen's home and private spaces for potential contraband.

Do you think that there is a government currently on this planet clear enough of corrupted elements to avoid abusing this power to target their own political enemies?

Looks like... one of the Number islands from FireRed? I like the scale we get of the normally unreachable highland area.

Oh man, I've been looking for one of these. Does it let you customize the homepage as well? I can't stand being blasted with eye-catching recommendations whenever I browse, it often makes me forget what I was going to look up in the first place!

Thanks so much, this is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for! I bought all the stuff, gonna try a test run tonight.

Has anyone else had an experience (positive or negative) with this one?

Looks a little like Eve, which is impressive for FOSS! Any notable differences for people worried about ending up buried in spread sheet simulator hell?

Don't listen to the haters here, you make a fine point. First, we stop criminalizing it. Let the hatred and the worship fade a bit. Then we can focus on objectively determining it's uses, it's dangers, and it's place in society.

Well, compare this to the Jack and the Beanstalk card. It implied that thr creature is accomplishing something before coming to the battlefield. Meanwhile what did this mouse do? Cry out adjacently?

Wouldn't that result in less cooling than colder water? Legit curious, since I've never heard of this nor even considered it.

I just got back from the Chiropractor, and can attest the effectiveness of a good one if you can find them. There aren't a lot of other nonsurgical quick solutions that aren't just masking the symptoms.

I know you said no doctors, but Chiro's often have same week apts and cost a lot less, especially on first meeting.
