This is the best Simpsons YouTube video I have ever watched on this matter.

It haunts me. I almost shed tears after I watched it. It broke my mind a little.

It's about Homer being a man, apart from time, thru the lens of Don Hertzfeld.

I progressed each faction to the point of no return and reloaded to see all 4 endings. I couldn't "not" know. The Far Harbour dlc has 8 variant endings, and Nuka World has 2. The new show on Prime used the Brotherhood of Steel ending as Canon (no spoilers).

I may have just written a Stat block for a flying feral fetus vampire baby... Special attacks include baby shriek (psychic), and umbilical cord bite that attaches to the victim like a leech (life drain). It will also sprout fangs from its gums for a bite attempt.

I am not sure what their policy is. I don't think so, but my boss is pretty understanding, so maybe? This is my first bought with covid, I hope the fatigue doesn't last for 6+ weeks. When I look it up online, it's all over the map.

So, I booked off a solid week of vacation, for the first time since I got my new job. I have covid, so I will be staying home sick and doing less than the nothing I had planned (already cancelled D&D and VtM sessions cuz I didn't want to risk my players). *fuming*

this would absolutely work on Teslas, because they don't have radar or lidar to bounce off the picture of the tunnel in order to confirm that it is in fact extremely solid

Last week I was listening to a panel and one of the pollsters said there isn't a center. It's an amorphous undefined thing. She said, psychologically, "Center" is just where most people think they are, no matter what opinions/views they hold.

New test results released by the FDA found that bird flu virus is making its way from dairy farms and into milk processing plants but also confirmed that the commonly used flash pasteurization method fully neutralizes the virus.

This is what I mean by hygiene theatre. The 6 ft rule is not applicable with Covid-19, and people don't know that. It's an outdated guidance. Covid is much more akin to cigarette smoke. Think of a smoker having a cigarette near you. Smell the smoke? It's that level of exposure.

you can have clean air. You'll just have to pay for it in small, disposable tanks you wear in a backpack. Don't worry, we'll have subscription-based models, and preferential employee pricing. Students will also get a complimentary 30 minute tank to enjoy on the first day of school.

If the mini HEPA unit works, I'd consider it. I'm just wary of "clean" theatre, where people ritualize behaviour that doesn't make anything cleaner or safer. Like bozos wearing masks under their chin or nose insisting that they "wore" a mask, or coughing directly into hands w/o washing them.

Don't planes already have massive HEPA/air filtration systems? What is the efficacy of a small, personal unit in that kind of space? I think I'd rather just keep wearing N95s to be sure.

my players did not enjoy going into a city that banned all magic, except for licensed clerics. They needed $$$ to buy permits to cast certain spells in public, and fire magic was expressly forbidden. There were mage-hunter secret police who used hand cuffs that expended all spell slots when worn.

That's excellent. D&D/pathfinder sheets are a bit of a pain in the arse, especially for new players. In terms of VtM 5e, I wish their sheets had larger sections for disciplines (but only because my players need to write down whet their abilities do because we only have 1 core book among us).

1. Yes. 2. They think the world revolves around them, and they are entitled to push their opinion, so being shut out or silenced is seen as an attack.

I used to work for a brewery, I understand people like to have drinks - but by the end, I was losing my voice trying to speak over the cross-chatter to answer player questions, and often, repeating myself 2-3 times - because they'd had too much to drink and they get loud.

We held a session zero for Vampire the Masquerade with all first-timers (some of whom have years of D&D experience). I'd expected it to take a couple hours to have snacks, create characters and cover basic rules. It took 5 hours to just finish character sheets. They couldn't get focused at all.

this SBC? The one with thousands of sexual abuse allegations and a decades-long effort to cover it up?

Maybe the headline should include this context for their dogshit opinions.

I've currently use an iPhone for work and Google Pixel for personal. 1. I miss the precision and speed of the Blackberry tactile keyboard. (It sucked at everything else.) 2. Google Pixel is vastly superior to iPhone in terms of features & ease. 3. iPhone snobbery is without merit.

Agreed. What the government and church did to indigenous peoples is a moral and social failure, a lingering poison that harms us all. Truth and Reconciliation feel like baby steps. We gotta do better and do the work, every day.

2/2 I have used TFTL character prompts and framework ever since, for every setting, including D&D and Vampire the Masquerade. The players who have played D&D before say this every time: "I wish my old GM did it this way!" And TFTL is a beautiful game.

1/2 Tales From the Loop has a really easy D6 system, but what's baked into the PC creation is a sense of the character's trauma, worries, and their personal connected to someone who can help them overcome their fears and hurts. The core book gives you prompts to ask your players to consider

2/2 It struck me that even though farmers were a huge part of their base, the influence of oil and gas was part of the impetus for a rebrand. In terms of identity and inclusion, the next rebrand in my view, would feature indigenous art/influence, rather than economic or rectangular influences.

1/2 Back in the day, when the visual ID and rebrand occurred around 2010, I asked someone leading the push "why" abandon the wheat sheaf. Their reasoning was "It looks old and dated, and we are more than just wheat. Oil and mining are huge parts of our economy too, much more than wheat."

It's still in use, it's on buildings, signage all over the place. I think ministry of Ag is the primary on it now. But there is something about the sheaf that captures hearts and minds.
