I never knew I wanted to save the world as Carl from athf

Can’t wait till the indie wave wakes up the realization that there is a goldmine of 90s games that were incredible. Star control 2 for one could probably be mistaken for a new indie hit nowadays.

They have a new version? I remember playing this back in the 90s. The unconventional classes and progression system were neat, but I usually just ended up playing the suicidal dwarf. Troll slayer I think?

Iirc mage BBEGs were of a technocracy trying to impose order on reality which was not good for those with the ability to manipulate it.

The technos were also in cahoots with the wyrm I think, from werewolf.

You’re in the wrong place to present nuanced opinion in long form. I love the independence of Lemmy from the large corporations (likely astroturfing aside), but this place swings the Overton window back to the left so hard it breaks without any acceptance of different nuanced ideas. It’s as though the life you’ve lived and the subtleties that governed it are irrelevant.

Of course this develops the mindset that trying to engage is mostly pointless, which I’ve adopted, because ultimately these are all just words on a screen with no real connection to the person behind them either way. You can’t sway them and they don’t respect your attention to minutiae.

Neat! Others have mentioned similar events in this thread, but no one has yet mentioned ‘wielding a red sword’ which is a book in the incarnations of immortality series by piers Anthony. War himself is afflicted in the same fashion and sings to communicate. Oh and get your mind out of the gutter.

Really good series.

One of my biggest peeves, things that end before

Couldn’t help but think of paranoia the rpg when I saw the trailer

Old school marvel rpg. Has a d100 chart on the back. Successes were white green yellow or red. Had an ultimate powers book and you didn’t gain experience you gained karma which could be used for adjusting dice rolls or character improvements. Great game.

The problem is it’s not a choice between good and better, it’s a choice between bad and worse. We’re hitting the point where the lesser of two evils choices are hitting critical mass.

I usually end up fiddling with service bouncing or a reboot to get it to work.

I always have connection issues after a Mullvad update. One of the downsides really

Those three are exactly what an evil group should look like and I doubt any of the posters in this thread want a truly evil character experience where you truly have no one you can trust or confide in or develop a degree of shared vulnerability with to bond. It’s stressful AF to live like that. The majority of people don’t play games for that experience and there isn’t enough RoI on the psychopaths that do to make it worthwhile. Maybe someone will make a mod to simulate it. I’d never even look at it. Even simulated evil-light in the form of the durge was painful for me.

The bigger obstacle the left and right have to finding common ground is the hypocrisy of body autonomy. Vaccines, women’s rights, trans rights, drugs, health choices and more derived of things like this all boil down to an individual decision to do what they want with their own body and no one has any consistent logic. This is just one source of disagreement.

We’re way past the point of needing ranked choice voting to allow people to truly support the ideas the most identify with without being lumped in with other groups simply to avoid loss of voting power in a first past the post environment.

I’m just getting started on my third attempt at changing careers from sys-admining over to coding (starting with the Odin project this time). I’m not sure the questions you ask, while interesting, will be covered. Can you point to some resources or subject matter to research to get exposure to these questions? The non coding, coding questions are interesting to me and I’m curious if my experience will help or if it’s something I need to account for while learning.

That’s the thing here. Bitcoin is holding up fairly well so far

If it can prove that it returns better gains than stocks AND weathers downturns better than stocks. Well…

Love it. So much to look into. Appreciate your time.

Commenting just to keep this particular comment in my history to write about later. I think it’s a backbone for a labor bill rights as well as a form of ranked choice voting

Nice! Wish listing now!

Ork humor. Love it.
