Indeed! But one thing that is clear is that conservatives are unable/unwilling to think long-term. So this is right up their alley in that sense.

And these people love to bitch about people with blue hair looking unnatural, no doubt

Funnily enough it was treated as such, and same with the “critical miss”

With us it kind of depends on the situation. If a critical success or fail would make sense or be very funny we treat it as such.

I mean, it wholeheartidly depends on what is on screen and the stimulant

Excel sheets and coffee? Yeah boring

RV There Yet and booze? Pretty fun

Nature documentary and magic shrooms? S-tier

the DM can balance it back <3

Very true. My level 12 party of five fought a Blob of Annihalation. They won…

As another user commented, it was started by JayZ. It is still American, so I also tried Soundcloud, but it had too many things missing sadly, especially in terms of soundtracks. So Tidal will do for now.

Yeah I’ve switched to Tidal when I read about it. It’s a shame, in terms of usability Spotify is definitely ahead, but I would rather use an inferior product than pay nazi supporters

I see a lot of hate for the HIMYM finale and… I truly do not get it. I will not praise it as a cinematic masterpiece, because it isn’t. But it is an ending that they have been building up since the very beginning, and it makes perfect sense given the characters and what they went through. There are a lot of show endings that cannot claim that at all, with random last-minute additional arcs or forgetting things from earlier seasons. I haven’t seen any of that in HIMYM. So yeah, I think it’s a decent ending overall, and I truly do not understand the hate it gets.

As for GoT; yeah that went into shitshow territory from season 7 for me personally.

*La Grande Vadrouille", or by it’s English title, “Don’t look now, we’re being shot at.” Three RAF pilots accidentally strand themselves in occupied France. With the help of the resistance, and some guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they try to escape. It’s definitely a product of its time, but it’s not too bad compared to some other titles of this age. Definitely worth a watch!

It’s kinda mainstream, but I’ve enjoyed Modern Family quite a bit. Sure, there is some friction, but it all works out in the end, so perhaps that fits what you’re looking for.

There are perfectly valid reasons not to switch to Linux. Many people could switch, which is why encouraging switching is fine, but when the entire work environment is in Windows, or they need specific software that does not work properly (or at all) on Linux, fully switching is not an option. I love me a “Windows Bad, Linux Good” meme, don’t get me wrong, but that is a meme at the end of the day. Reality is often much more nuanced, and this is no exception.

There are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.

My players have finally encountered a dragon for the first time last week. They managed to resolve the situation peacefully and have taken up a quest to do for the dragon. Currently they are being mogged by a Blob of Annihalation instead. Fun times.

Yup, installed Linux Mint for my 60+yo mother. She hardly uses her laptop and does not need anything advanced. We set it up, installation went very smooth (obviously), set up her browser so she can use it like she’s used to, and we figured out how to use the printer. Thankfully it was no hassle at all, it just connected via USB and interacted very well with the printing and scanning software that came with Mint. She was already using firefox and libreoffice, so that was no hassle either. So far so good!

A bit more niche, but I’d say Roll20 for online TTRPG’s. It has quirks, absolutely, but it has gotten better overall and is free with optional paid plans that offer good benefits which are not necessities.

If you are affraid

We will look together

Slightly hotter take - this one may be the consumer’s fault. They keep making them because 1. copyright expiration, and 2. people keep fucking watching it! This is such an easy thing to use your wallet as a vote on.

Last year, an amazing movie called Juror #2 came in the cinemas. Not a remake (to my knowledge) or sequel of any kind. I watched in the first week of release in my country. I had to go to a less-well known cinema because the main ones did not even show it in that city. And once there, we were in a small watching room that wasn’t even full. One week into release. Meanwhile, Gladiator 2 down the hall was in a nearly sold-out, much larger room.

I love shitting on big corporations like many lemmings here, but in this specific instance, I think the consumers are at fault. Movies are not a necessity. Pirate them if you really want to watch a remake/sequel, and pay for original stuff. Companies keep making nostalgia slop because people keep paying them for it. It really is that simple.

Could be. I’ve used it only once, it worked fine then, but I’m not really in a group that needs tools like this on a regular basis.

Possibly, but not to my knowledge

It exists, it’s called Handshake
