I could be wrong but I think people underestimate how pleasant it is to see someone just having a good time. It always brings a smile to my face to see people doing things like this, or dancing, or some other joyful activity.

You couldn't pay me to get into a Waymo but you COULD probably convince me to pay a person to get me somewhere. What a novel concept!

Wow! NYC!

MA TAKE A PICTURE I'M GETTING MUGGED BY THE CITY ITSELF :D

Or trollies! Or subways! Or rickshaws!

My players and I all love to roleplay so we're fine with this sort of thing. That said; generally I encourage a little roleplay up front, then we see the roll. Then depending on whoever thinks of the funniest outcome first, the player either adds something to reflect the roll's outcome, or I find some reason why whatever they said up front did/didn't work. Either way, it's great fun for all of us!

On the rare occasion I run for a different/new table though? Nope, not unless I see the players showing initiative by roleplaying without my prompting, I'll assume we're here to play it straight.

Bazzite is specifically for PC gaming and is a very friendly starter distro.

I agree with you but may I offer you a comma in these trying times?

I certainly am!

I'm mostly just concerned on what I'll do if a piece of hardware dies or corrupts at this point.

Unfortunately, when the aliens attempted to pick them up, they turned cat-liquid and slid away.

Feels like these things are lining up "coincidentally" huh?

Fun fact the jury nullified on her felony counts.

Prosecutors had initially charged Woods with seven felonies, each of which were nullified by the jury. Instead, she was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of assault and battery, as well as two counts of reckless assault.

Anecdotally, I was tinkering with it earlier this year and finally stopped being lazy and flipped my main PC over. After I talked about it enough in my friend chat, three more friends followed suit and a fourth is going to soon. It's not just the end of supporting Windows 10, it's all of the repeated bugs, glitches, and AI garbage Microsoft has been pushing everywhere so aggressively. People who would likely only rate themselves as "mildly" tech savvy are sick of it and willing to make a move, I feel.

“Qualcomm and MediaTek both provide open platforms so OpenAI could build anything from a Linux foundation, but it’s more likely they use Android. Android already provides you the telephony stack, networking, and low-level drivers for cameras and audio. It would be needless over-engineering to use an alternative.”

Fantastic intro. I shared it with my friends lol.

I keep going to upvote this because funny and then I keep not because sad even if not true.

Hopping on this helpful and informative post to add my own tidbit: If you find you get loose eyelashes in your eyes a lot, or that they seem to curl inward and poke your eye a lot, see your optometrist about the possibility of blepharitis--a chronic inflammation of the eyelids. It's a lifelong condition, no cure, but there is a pretty simple daily treatment and hopping on it will drastically improve your quality of life. I used to think it was normal to constantly want to rub your eyes because they itched--surprise! It's not.

Thank you for your hard work!

They pinky promise!! Honest!

Was gonna make a post with this article but this is related so I'll drop it here instead.
