The art style reminds me of Scavengers Reign.

he’s gone off the rails in the last 6-12 months - complaining about needing more linux devs

It’s also ironic in light of his history of loudly bashing linux and linux game development.

I can’t think of anything good to say about Tim Sweeney.

I might give Backpack Battles a try. It doesn’t look like my usual style, but I heard there’s some good strategy under the surface, and I like that it’s made with Godot.

Are there any 5.5 physical sourcebooks? Were they ever planned at all?

I haven’t been following One D&D news, but I got the impression they were focusing on a subscription-only model, so I’ve been planning to stick with my 5e books or switch to an ORC-licensed system.

Sid Meier’s Pirates! is a wonderful mix of exploration, sea battles, romance, swordplay, trade, and subterfuge.

Tropico 2: Pirate Cove is one that I’ve only played briefly, but I remember it having a fun style that made me want to try it in depth some time.

I just learned about that as well. I hope Larian dilutes or buys back Tencent’s shares.

I struggle to think of a buyer that would be worse for the players than Tencent.

On the bright side, Hasbro’s last big D&D blunder prodded the community into developing alternative gaming systems and licenses, so I think we’ll be in good shape to carry on without the brand if this happens.

Booming Blade’s damage scaling is the same as Toll the Dead, but with a smaller damage die.

However, since its effect depends on a weapon hit instead of the elf spellcasting ability (intelligence), I suspect it will proc more often than Toll the Dead for most melee Fighters. Seems like a good choice if you want to your cantrip to be for combat.

On the other hand, since a fighter has plenty of weapons for doing damage, you might consider picking a utility cantrip instead. How often you use it would depend on your play style and DM, of course, but in my experience, all it takes is a little imagination to get tremendous value from utility cantrips.

Here are someone else’s thoughts on the wizard/elf cantrips. Keep in mind that they’re probably considered in the context of a wizard casting them, rather than a fighter, but the points noted there are worth considering regardless.

It’s written correctly. “All but” in the sense used here means almost. “All but certain” means a hair’s breadth from absolute certainty.

(Also, “lose” is the word you were looking for; not “loose”.)

So with normal use it should be fine for a few decades.

Considering that “normal use” can be so very different among different people/applications/climates, I don’t put a lot of stock in assessments like that, but it is at least one prediction to compare against when we see what happens in practice. Time will tell.

I’m curious how long the current gen OLED consoles will be in use before they develop screen burn-in.

This outcome is welcome progress, but I get the sense that it’s only a drop in the bucket.

Bullying and intimidating people in other countries who openly contradict the CCP’s narrative seems widespread these days. From the news reports of unofficial Chinese “police stations” in North America, to youtube footage of US students speaking in support of an independent Hong Kong while Chinese students aggressively maneuver within inches of their faces while shouting threats, to the story in this post.

I hope this is a sign that we are finally taking action to stop it.

Or by people formerly paying for their internet service with money that should have been going toward food or heat.

Losing the $30 monthly discount could force families to choose between broadband and other necessities,

Exactly.

It’s also important to note that some ISPs created a low-cost service plan specifically for ACP. (It’s reasonable to assume this was possible in part because ACP handled income verification and eliminated the costs of individual billing and credit card payments.) That plan will likely disappear if ACP goes away, leaving poor people stuck paying a bill much higher than the program ever paid.

Please let Geralt have responsive movement and sensible object targeting this time.

I don’t know whether I would be comfortable murdering pokemon, but if the gameplay turns out to be great, I would give it a try. I think I’ll wait on this one until it develops a bit and there are enough reviews to balance out early adopter (dev friends & family) bias.

I don’t think regular users have access to that info on lemmy. (Maybe you’re thinking of a kbin feature?)

In most places, there’s money in enforcement, and power in disenfranchisement.

I don’t know what Thailand-specific motives might be in play here, if any.

I meant that I ought to use it for its intended purpose after all.

(But yes, I would still like the option of replacing the OS.)

I bought one during the clearance sale for the price of shipping, assuming that it would be abandoned but maybe still useful as a low-power linux server. I guess I ought to set it up and take advantage of it.

Thanks, Valve, for not letting these things become instant e-waste.
