TV Ratings: ‘South Park’ On-Air Viewers Surge With Season 27’s Second Episode
Fascists are all overly self serious. Mockery is the best way to get to them. Keep it up.

Measuring cup that doesn't lose its printing?
To answer your question: I switched to Oxo brand and those are pretty solid.
I’m not sure about the specifics but I’m fairly certain that the Pyrex brand has taken a bit of a hit and quality like that with a change the chemical composition of their glassware a while back.

Why do they keep going thinner?!? I just want the awful camera bulge gone!

I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?
There are waterproof pencil and paper sets that you can attach to the wall with suction cups. I have a set and use it pretty frequently when I have some sudden shower inspiration that I don’t want to lose.

For those of you who play TTRPGs: Which system is your favorite? What kind of characters do you like to play? What characters are you playing right now?
Perpetual GM here. I love PF, both 1e and 2e. Mostly playing the latter these days as it’s way simpler for new players. But my absolute love is Blades in the Dark. I run a game of that too and it’s just the absolute best.
Since I never get to play: I have a literally boundless library of characters in my head if any of my players ever express even an inkling of wanting to take the GM seat.

Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers)
Incredible game. Absolutely mind blowing experience overall. Agree that the ARG element was a super interesting twist. I think there was even more real-world stuff to it but it’s been a while since I played and got into the lore, so I don’t remember any details (and well could be misremembering).

Eight years later, new but familiar-looking PebbleOS watches appear
Huge fan of the original Pebble. But really appreciate the team here is being upfront about how the Apple walled garden BS is limiting functionality of how this new Pebble would work with iOS now. Not pulling any punches in how much Apple hamstrings outside interoperability.

Have you ever cried because of a video game?
Thomas was Alone. Cried over quadrilaterals.

In space how does one tell what direction being no fixed point? Or how does one tell up from down and so on?
Direction is relative. Gravity on earth it’s easy since we all have the same down. But in space you just orient on whatever you can to describe your frame of reference.

I used garlic spray for mosquitos to surprising effect. I had no idea it worked for ticks too. That’s great to know.

Philips Hue’s stability is kinda incredible
I’m with you. Tried a few other brands and various types of HomeKit connecting devices, and Hue stuff remains some of the most reliable out there.

Actually, I’m a physician moving to Ontario. There’s certainly a lot of paperwork, and it isn’t cheap, but I can’t say it feels insurmountable. Nova Scotia had been a consideration as well and neither would have required and repeat of training. Just a lot of chasing down documentation to prove I hold a valid medical license in the states.

One of the best bits of advice I’ve gotten on running games is just to steal ideas. Can be anything as simple from the plot of a movie that you re-skin or a kids puzzle that you put new names on and have the players solve. Beyond that: listen to the players and just let them fill in bits of plot with their theories.

Starting with a module or a dungeon crawl is easiest. Way nicer to have some guide rails in place when starting out. The impetus for me was just that no one else was going to do it and I felt it was better to jump in as a new game master and wing it rather than not play at all. Five or so years later after not playing for a few decades: here we are.

I can say that at least in the case of primary and specialty medical care, so long as you went to a licensed medical school, it doesn’t seem to be the case in Ontario or Nova Scotia.

What have been the games whose writing really got into you?
Recent hit in this regard is Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. Incredible writing and incredible game overall.
