I recently acquired one thinking it was going to be a cool and useful feature, and the only time I think to use it is when I brush away a loose cat hair and my cursor goes all over the place. And the tablet mode, I think I used it once as a novelty.

Rewatching season2ep15 The Fifth Race, I was wondering if anyone was able to compile the language of the Ancients into something speakable.

I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn't choose your company specifically.

With the exception of D&D or Pathfinder, what games or systems would you like to see campaign notebooks for, and what would you like to see in them?

I've been looking at leasing a space for a potential business idea, but I wanted to see what others thought of it. What I'm thinking about is immersive play spaces. A tavern setup that looks like something out of a D&D game, or maybe a spaceport bar for those into SciFi games. Even thinking about a possible Cyberpunk styled bar. The idea is that they would be member driven with guest passes, and alcohol would be supply your own. What I'm asking is if one of these spaces was in your area, would you pay a nominal monthly fee? I'm thinking between $25 to $50 a month with five guest passes.

My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can't use a device because they aren't very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

For me, it's small business retail. Point-of-Sale systems, physical inventory management, the existing options are not built for smaller operations or are not good.

The past couple of years, the amount of kids out on Halloween has dwindled down in my neighborhood. This year, my wife and I were at her cousin's house and we saw maybe a couple of kids walking around. My wife blames people going to Trunk or Treat things. We both work in retail, so we see more of the public, and nobody was in costume. What was everybody's experience with Halloween this year?

I have a few: Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU.

I'm shouldn't have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M's. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.

As I have been browsing RPG communities on Lemmy, Facebook, and Reddit, I have noticed some of the slang that I used to hear is not present much in these discussions. Now I know over time, slang and lingo do change, and I want to know more about your experiences in it. One of the terms I used to hear was "fish-malk", referring to players that take on a character to be goofy, silly, and "random". They were usually useless and made playing the game for the rest of the players rather difficult. So what lingo or slang terms are you using in your groups, or terms you just don't hear anymore?

I want to know what draws people to it and why keep consuming and making it? Especially since Pictures and videos aren't showing anything new except the people in it.
