I’d argue DnD is no different and we only see it less because half the DnD player base is busy home brewing Pathfinder content into 5e

Sure, maybe. But my yard has frogs and fireflies in it and my neighbors’ don’t. That seems pretty empirical to me.

I’ve begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It’s there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There’s no mystery, no one asks for money, I don’t have to dress up, and there’s no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to ‘God’ are all answered at about the same 50% rate.

I hear tell that several of those companies have entire departments solely dedicated just to distract Musk with bullshit when he visits, so he doesn’t attempt to do any “work”.

Musk showing up to perform work is how we get things like “Human eyes don’t have LIDAR so a Tesla doesn’t need it either”.

If you approach it with the right attitude it’s not so bad. I view it the same way I do with fighting games. If I get smoked in an 82-0 losing streak that just means I had a great practice sesh with someone clearly better than me and I should be taking notes. As long as you keep agreeing to rematch me I’ll keep losing and learning.

I have never, not once, had this not just immediately begin updating anyway.

A few years ago I’d have agreed with you.

With America firmly in Putin’s pocket now and Europe dragging their feet on resistance, the possibility that they could just glass Kiev and get away with it is growing.

When this baby hits 8x10^8000000000 fs/Z you’re gonna see some serious shit

and doesnt really bother anyone?

Don’t they threaten to fire missiles at America like, weekly?

And try and fail to do it once every six months or so, I feel like I’ve been hearing about failed North Korean missile launches or tests with some regularity since like 2000.

I have bad news about rodeos

Well sure, and I get that, but the map we’re looking at clearly has a W-E line marked, presumably on the prime meridian. It’s pretty westerly in that regard which seems like a pretty sensible perspective to me on how to navigate at the south pole.

If you handed me this map and told me to go North I would go to Dronning Maud Land.

the peninsula is considered the north side

look at the peninsula

it’s on the west side

“Oh, you’re shooting at us! Release the bees.”

Yeah I never bothered trying to fake being sick because accepted practice for being sick was “you will lay in this bed and sleep until you are better.” Been sick in bed for 36 hours? Sucks, tough shit, go back to sleep. No you can’t watch TV. No you can’t read a book.

Morrowind should stay in the past where it belongs. I have less than zero faith that modern Bethesda would do it any sort of justice.

The modding scene is still cooking along 20 years after release and there are plenty of good graphics mods if you just want it to look prettier.

Any hiring manager who hears that is going to hear it as “this employee will up and leave us without warning at any time”

Not saying they’re right, but that’s what it is. Most people are looking to hire permanently if possible, you’re telling them straight up that you are not going to be a permanent employee.

You can definitely replace it with Linux Mint, I did it 8 months ago and it was seamless, save for a little bit of fussing with my GPU driver.
